    Ordered a matcha and added red raz syrup. They forgot my syrup and even after they added it, it wasn't much. About halfway through the drink all I tasted was almond milk. Bottom of the cup had clumps of unwhisked matcha. Interior is super cute, just wish my drink was good. Tried the vanilla oat milk latte and that was good. Better stick to coffee. Service was great.

    Service was great. It was their first day open and yet the line moved quickly and the people were nice and the vibes were great. I ordered an oatmilk latte which was delicious and a yogurt parfait which was refreshing and sweet and hit the spot! Will be coming back for lunch!

    Coffee was just ok. I honestly miss the dark and moody vibes of the old Starbucks. I am glad they kept the fireplace, though.

The staff were all extremely friendly and knowledgable. We both had delicious cocktails and the burger! Soft toasted bun, crisp bacon...fantastic! Fries outstanding! Tartar sauce made me want to try their fish and chips. I've been back twice. Both times same excellent food and experience. The last time I was just dropping in on friends and couldn't stay long and ordered toast & hot water with lemon. Out comes a gorgeous ornate silver tea pot, the most perfect toast and incredibly delicious jam & butter. I love it here. I'm a convert. Highly recommend. Perfect for solo dining, catching up with a bestie, and larger gatherings.

When we arrived, just after they opened, we were the third party in the restaurant. The atrium was really cute. It had a glass chandelier, great decor, and a view of Alki Beach. Our waiter brought us some water and we both decided to order the quiche (daily special was spinach, mushroom and goat cheese) along with a cup of clam chowder. Being that the restaurant was kind of empty, it took a while for our food to arrive. Unfortunately, the chowder was tepid at best and quiche was ice cold. I flagged the waiter down and as he took away our plates, he made a comment about the oven not being set correctly, which I thought was a bit odd. To me, it seemed as if our food may have been waiting a while to get picked up. Nevertheless, our food returned shortly thereafter piping hot. The chowder was delicious, definitely one of the tastiest I've had in Seattle. I found the quiche to be lacking in flavor and then noticed that there were no salt or pepper shakers on any of the tables, which I also thought was a bit odd. After we had finished eating, the waiter asked my friend if she wanted a box for her quiche. When he returned with the box, he did not clear our dishes or ask if we were ready for our check. I had to flag him down to ask for it. I noticed they added a $3 service fee to the bill, not quite sure what that was about, as the food was already a bit pricier than other restaurants in the area and there were issues with our food. I guess it's for the beach view? Overall, this was a decent meal, but I just don't get what all the hype is about.

There was some renovation going on, so there weren't any seats available for dine-in. However, there was a bench inside where we sat to enjoy our coffee, which worked out since I love having coffee at cafes, especially in their cute mugs. The quality of the coffee was amazing easily one of the best I've had in Seattle. I also appreciated their efficient setup: the barista takes your order and makes it at the same time. You might have to wait in line a bit longer, but you get your coffee right away instead of waiting for your name to be called later. Just be prepared for a line, but it's totally worth it!

We picked up a couple of bags of beans from the shop, but all the credit goes to their amazing barista and owner. You can truly tell how passionate and skilled they are in their craft. We loved it so much that we visited twice, and both times the drinks were absolutely perfect (tried cappuccino and espresso with hot chocolate) The café has such a cozy, relaxing city vibe; I noticed many people upstairs reading, studying, and working. I'd love to come back someday and spend more time there, savoring their coffee to the fullest.

My favorite Juice is the Pineapple Express with light cinnamon and I add a little cayenne too. I love that you have the option to choose if you'd like your juice cold or hot! One day I'll adventure on the menu and try a smoothie bowl or boba. Everything is made to order fresh and is well worth the wait. If you prefer not to wait I would suggest making an order online. There is a bench out front to chill or you can ask how long and go for a little nature walk. It is a bit pricy but worth every penny supporting a small business with quality ingredients and that cares for the community.

She smiled while she refused to answer simple questions. Such as what were the most popular menu items. I didn't think this would be such an off putting question but she became visibly upset. This is a question I ask anywhere new I patron. She said there wasn't a popular choice that everything was the same. Again, very off putting response/tone etc. So I asked what her fav menu items were. She again became even more upset and this time told me she didn't have any favorites they were all the best. just disheartening to see a local small business owner who seemed clearly put off by interacting with people. I over heard several others talking about a similar experience as they were walking out. The friendly and personable cashier at Marination, across the street, said she had heard the same thing from others who had gone there as well. As far as the value for the money....My friend who ordered a 6oz matcha paid $9... for a tiny little drink full of ice. Draw your own conclusions from that. I paid almost $6 for an iced tea that tasted like water. There were no coffee /tea amenities. No coffee bar. Zero napkins, or sugar, or stir sticks, nada. Absolutely nothing. When I asked about the empty pastry case, I got more atttidude saying pastry's weren't popular. Good gawd...just unnecessarily unpleasant at every opportunity. I know we all have stuff going on in our lives, but taking it out on others just isn't the way. I really didn't appreciate my or my friend's experiences here.

    We visited this branch of Bakery Nouveau, hoping to snag some paczki since we forgot to preorder…read morefor Fat Tuesday (or as Michiganders know it, Paczki Day). Per the cashier, unlike previous years, where they often sold Paczki for several weeks leading up to the celebration, this year, they will only have them on Tuesday. Apparently every single one is handmade by the owner, Pâtissier William Leaman, and this year, he's been too busy with the 2026 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie competition as the US team's coach. That's certainly a great excuse! When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon a bit after lunch, this place was still quite busy with a line that stretched to the door, but not outside. As with the Burien location, I find the ordering process to be a bit of a pain; while there are plenty of workers to help, ordering is slowed due to the fact that the display cases are placed in a line and there's not much room in the building to maneuver to the desired display. In our case, while we had someone helping us all the way in the back of the line, we weren't able to select anything until we got all the way to the pastry case in the front. I'm not sure there's a good way to solve this conundrum, though. At any rate, we ended up only getting a single pastry (that was new to us) to try this time. Brown Sugar Pecan Brioche ($5) - This pastry looks like a glistening pecan sticky bun at first glance, with a cinnamon roll-like pinwheel structure and a brown sugar glazed pecan topping. Since it's brioche, I expected it to be dense, but soft, rich, and sweet. This bread is anything but. It's dense, dry, crumbly, almost clay-like in mouthfeel; basically everything brioche should not be. Instead of a sticky caramelized coating over the pecans, the pecans are glued on with only the thinnest of sugar coatings. The pastry doesn't claim to be a sticky bun, so it gets a pass there. Unfortunately the base layer is absolutely terrible, by far the worst "brioche" I've eaten in years. It has all the flavor of hard tack with the unpleasant mouthfeel of Play-Doh. Canned Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are far better than this waste of perfectly good ingredients. The owner should be ashamed to release this swill to the public. (1/5) Why am I giving Bakery Nouveau a 5? Because they serve some of the best twice baked croissants known to man. The Capitol Hill location is my go to for a sweet and buttery treat and I still recommend it to everyone that visits me, specifically for the almond and chocolate twice baked croissants. The paczki are no slouches either; probably the best we can get around Seattle. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Note: There will be some walk in availability for paczki on Tuesday, but the cashier told me that they will likely sell out by 10AM. Looks like an early morning trip to the Capitol Hill location is in my near future.
