Service - Friendly staff, they always greet me when I walk in, and food & drink comes out phenomenally fast. Ambiance - Cute cafe with lots of natural lighting and plants. Nice place to work or chill read more

Cafe An'Clair - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cafe An'Clair is not a standout in any way, but it's still good and has some great coffee and pastry offerings. Of all the coffee shops I visited in Seattle, this one was not very memorable. The coolest part was the view of the Space Needle from the small outdoor seating area. Outdoor seating is always a win! The coffee was ok. The espresso shot was fine, a bit bitter. Certainly not the smoothest I tried. The pastry and breakfast selection was ok. The service was unremarkable. Not great, not bad. In a city with so many coffee options, I think you really have to do something special to stand out, and Cafe An'Clair missed the mark for me. While the location was fun, the views were good, and the outdoor seating was appreciated, there wasn't anything calling me back. read more

Came for a matcha latte. I was greeted right when I walked in and service was fast. The matcha was good and I liked that it wasn't a pre sweetened powder so I could request it without any sugar! read more

Went over around 9:30 am on a Friday and there was a short line but gave us some time to decide on what we wanted. The staff were helpful and told us that one of their most popular items was the financier. Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich - Tasted like a classic breakfast sandwich where it was savory and salty from the sausage and a nice bite from the melted cheese.. The bun was sweet but a little dry and flakier than I thought it would be since it was a brioche bun. Yuzu Financier - They mentioned their most popular was the honey financier but I thought the yuzu flavor sounded interesting. The quality was nice, soft inside and light crust layer outside. It was sweet, mildly sour and had a light almond flavor. What stood out about this place was the pricing of their items, 6 dollars for a breakfast sandwich and 1.75 for the financier. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed the two items and would definitely go back for breakfast another time. read more

I came for the Einspanner. Not a lot of cafes cater to this special type of drink. It is a rich layered traditional Viennese coffee drink. The first sip was good but that was the only good part. Seconds after and a few minutes passing, the Einspanner completely dissolved. Stirred the drink and it became completely flat. I expected it to become creamy and rich even stirred. An Einspanner has layers: milk, coffee, flavored heavy cream, sometimes whipping cream. There was too much water added as well. The drink lacked coffee and Einspanner flavor. Despite the coffee experience, customer service was great. **If you're looking for a good Einspanner drink in Seattle, I recommend URL Coffee on first hill** read more

Tried the Spanish latte (who can complain about condensed milk and cinnamon?), einspanner (americano with cold whipped cream), and sausage egg cheese sandwich on brioche. All of it was great! Went on a Friday morning and though it was slightly busy, there was sufficient staff to keep the line moving and we were in and out within 10 min. The vibe is nice, but a little noisy inside. There's some outdoor seating with people seemed to enjoy. Will be back to try the ice cream latte which is a latte with maple syrup that purports to taste like coffee ice cream! read more

To celebrate a Friday, decided to mix up the schedule and grab some baked goods here for the first time. It was probably around 10ish, and there was not a huge rush. A worker immediately came to help us, but we requested a bit more time which she happily gave us time. Ended up ordering two baked goods which, for this area, a pretty good price! The financier was really good, could really taste the honey. My coworker got a coffee one too which he enjoyed but said the flavor was milder. I also got an everything scone, which was definitely good, basically an everything biscuit with some cream cheese atop, so I'd definitely try other savory scones (or their sweet ones again!) One of my coworkers also ordered a breakfast sandwich, which took a surprisingly long time to come out. So we sat and waited while the sandwich was being prepped. The cafe is super airy and bright, and has some great outdoor seating. And my coworker did love her sandwich after! Will definitely be back and I can't wait to try some of their drinks! read more

Disclaimer: My review was solely for service and atmosphere but not coffee as I only ordered a bottled tea to go. We stopped here for a quick breakfast and coffee before the Amazon meeting.

I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk but ended up with a cup of ice with a some coffee in it. The coffee itself was okay but the fact that they only have one size for their drinks (12oz) and it still came out with mostly ice was super disappointing. The person at the register was also not very friendly. The honey financier I got was delicious though. That would probably be the only reason I'd go back. read more

Cafe An'Clair - Counter service. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cafe An'Clair is one of the, if not, the best cafés in Seattle! I highly recommend it to anybody visiting. Can't think of many negatives, only just the days that they're open. Otherwise I would go much more often. To start, the staff are extremely sweet and friendly. The tone when they greet you and speak just put you in a good mood and wanting to order and interact. Of course, what's a good café without their offerings? Good balance of food with coffee/drinks, pastries, and savory options! My go to is the Spanish latté, either iced or hot (usually half sweet but sometimes full sweetness is a nice dessert!). I've also enjoyed their An'Clair cold brew as well. As far as savory, the bulgogi sandwich is to die for, haha. It feels like a balanced meal, as the sandwich is hefty and has a good variety of toppings on it! Lastly, you can't go wrong with a scone or financier. I'd even go as far to say that I love their scones more than the fair scones. In fact, they just might be the best scones I've ever had! I usually order take-out, but the café itself is a cute and has some seating. Very chic and definitely fits the surrounding area. Even when I move away, I hope I can keep coming back! Such a gem of a place in this city (: read more

After reading so much about it, I tried their renowned Spanish latte! I appreciate the reviews that suggested using 50% sweetness. I'm so happy I did. To make it better,I should have chosen 25%. (In my opinion, if you prefer lattes or black coffee with no sugar) The signature tasted good and had a fresh cinnamon and spice flavor. Although it was unusual, it ultimately turned out well. read more

I ordered the cafe an'Clair cold brew which is a cold brew with maple syrup and choice of milk. It was decent but not anything I could have just made at home. It appears most people came in and ordered a Spanish latte so if I'm in the area again then I will have to try that out instead. Everyone working there was so kind and numerous locals that they knew by name would flow in as well which I think is lovely for a local coffee shop community. The cafe is more suited for a quick grab and go for coffee and breakfast. The chairs weren't the most comfortable nor was the space the most conducive for studying or working as the WiFi was not working well for me. Regardless I really appreciate the local community of this cafe and will want to try again in the future if I'm in the area! read more

The staff was so friendly and helpful! They gave great suggestions and explained the sweetness level of their drinks. I ordered an iced Spanish latte. The sweetness can be controlled in this drink, but I like my drinks on the sweeter side so I didn't make any adjustments. It comes with a cinnamon stick on top which I thought was cute. Other drinks our group ordered were a caramel latte, hazelnut latte, and I ed chai. The chai was delicious and I loved my Spanish latte! We also ordered the egg and cheese sandwich which was ok, nothing special. I think their drinks are more of the highlight. read more

Had a work event with my team and stopped in for a morning latte. The place itself is super cute, clean, and filled with lots of indoor plants. The staff greeted me upon entering and they were super sweet! Ordered my go-to two days in a row: the basic but super effective iced oat latte. The drink was made super fast, the espresso was strong, and very tasty. If I'm ever back in the area for work I'll definitely stop by again! read more

I have walked past this place multiple times and never noticed it but apparently they've been there for years. It's a small, quiet coffee shop with a very small breakfast and lunch menu and a few pastries and tea cakes. I got the brownie financier. I'm not sure what a financier is supposed to taste like but this one was good. it was light and cake-like. The bulgogi sandwich was also light and tasty. The jury is still out on whether bulgogi is supposed to be on bread with cheese and such. My wife would say "no." Whatever the answer is, I think this sandwich would have benefited from the crunch of kimchi instead of sriracha sauce. This one was definitely neater and easier to eat than the one I got at that pacific island spot down on 6th Ave. I can't get used to Seattle prices. So you can decide on the value for the meal. Would be nice if they added a small bag of chips or something to it for $13, though. read more

$5 latte?! Yes please :* The vanilla latte was very nice and the mini brownies were a delicious little treat. Bright + cozy vibes, perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Service was decent. read more

First off, amazing matcha latte. High quality matcha powder used making the latte very smooth and earthy. I was really looking forward to trying the financiers here; I got the brownie and matcha ones (the yuzu one was sold out at the time, womp womp) and they didn't have the bold respective flavor as I'd hoped. Still, they were very moist (muffin-like) and made nice little bite-size sweets. Tiny cafe that was pretty full during lunch time. Take note that the cafe is closed on weekends. read more

An adorable little coffee shop, we stopped into Cafe An'Clair on a rainy morning. We appreciated that while they are not allowing guests to dine inside during the 'VID times, they set up an outdoor heated tent situation where we could hang out for a little bit. I had a spanish latte (half sweetness) and two financiers: honey and yuzu. The dude had a drip coffee and the granola, as it was one of the few gluten free options on the menu. My latte was great, and I loved that it was something different from the thousands of other coffee shops around. I'm definitely glad that I got it half sweet--and that my barista asked me what level of sweetness I wanted--because I typically am not huge on a super sweet drink, and I found the 50% to be perfect. I was eh on the honey financier, but really enjoyed the yuzu that had actual little pieces of citrus peel in it. They were great for a small little snack. The boyf said his drip was a perfectly fine drip coffee, but nothing to write home about. He liked his granola too, but did say it was mostly pepitas. Cafe An'Clair was really cute and overall pretty enjoyable. Make sure you peep the little avocado plants growing on the counter! read more

Cute coffee shop to work or study from! I ordered the 8oz matcha latte and was able to customize the sweetness level--which I appreciate since I don't like my drinks too sweet. The matcha drink itself was quite yum and of quality, and the top layer of froth topped it off. In terms of the staff and service, the cashier and barista were all so friendly :-) best way to start your work day and would just come back for the service! read more

Love this location, love the other one. Both have very pleasant public seating areas, and this one also has a dedicated tented area for customers. I love sitting outside near the peaceful waterfall to enjoy my coffee. They have an amazing spicy chai here, which I've been getting iced, with almond milk and two shots of espresso. The chai has a great kick to it that I crave. I also love their turkey, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich...they carve the turkey fresh each morning and use Macrina for the bread! The egg tastes fresh also, not like it's been sitting in a fridge or freezer for hours. This location also has plants for sale and the ones I saw looked very healthy--they also have lots of avocado plants that seem to be in the process of growing. Not sure if that's a special project or what, but I love it! Sign up for the rewards program to work your way towards a free 12 oz coffee or dessert! read more

A very comforting experience. All baristas were nice with the service being fast. I like a bunch of things but I'd have to say the Iced London Fog and the Bulgogi Sandwich are a must try. The London Fog had the right amount of sweetness. It was balanced. It's actually the best one I tried yet. Their Bulgogi Sandwich is savory and definitely on the heavier side. My partner and I split it in half and it filled us both. It was sweet but not too sweet. It also had some veggies in it to balance it out. Overall a very yummy sandwich. I actually miss it lol (I don't live in Seattle) The Yuzu Financier is quite pleasing. It was a bit tart yet sweet? It was a good note to land on after eating something so heavy. Their Caprese Sandwich was pretty normal, to me. I thought it could've had a bit more balsamic vinegar but everything just seemed to blend as just one. For my partner.. He loved it. If anything the Bulgogi and this one are pretty tied. Now their Turkey Sandwich.. Both my partner and I enjoyed it. It was also sweet but a savory sweet. It was definitely the most balanced out of the three. This one was my second favorite. I could've ate it all by myself. We also got their avocado toast. If you like lemon on your avocado.. you will really like this one. I enjoyed it a lot because I like citrus/sour things. My partner liked it but he said there was too much lemon on it. We got eggs on it but our mistake was not specifying for it to be over easy so we didn't enjoy the eggs. As for the last item.. We enjoyed an Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk. It was a decent cup of Matcha. Not bitter even though we didn't get it with any sweetness. Overall experience? I love this cafe and I wish it was here in LA instead. I'd go here every morning if I could. read more

OVERALL: 9.4/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4.7/5). This is one of the shortlist of places I will always visit, whenever I'm in the area, because (a) I know they're finally open again, and (b) there's very few people (if any) going to the office these days, so it's VERY hard on cafes and restaurants to generate regular business like they used to. Even with phase 2 controls in these COVID-19 times, it's SUPER hard to have a unique value prop.... that's why I'm super glad this place is still open for business. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 9/10. Cafe an Clair has tons of options for drinks - you're bound to find something that catches your fancy. Given the wide range of tastes, you'll also most likely find a pastry or a food item of some kind that you would be interested in trying -- so why not indulge yourself? :) 2) FRESHNESS: 10/10. They make the specialty drinks (think chai or matcha latte) as they're ordered, so you're not going to get stale product by any means. They also heat the sandwich options when you order, so it's not like you're going to be getting a stale product that was originally heated hours ago. 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 8/10. This is the only area I feel like this place is lacking. A "large" (16oz) drink is $5-6, which isn't terrible, but in the context of comparing it to other similar-sized cafes (let's not throw Starbucks into this mix, for example), it's slightly more expensive than those ones. I get the crunch, and I get the single location, but given that this is the only nitpick I have, I feel like this shouldn't scare most people off. 4) SERVICE: 10/10. At this point I feel like I'm a regular - they seem to know my order back-to-front, even down to the sweetness level (if you're wondering, it's a matcha latte, either hot or cold depending on the season, half-sweet, less ice). Sometimes I might also throw in a breakfast sandwich, but I'm a pretty loyal customer to this place. They're fast, they're awesome, and I do my best to make sure they know I appreciate them! 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 10/10. At this point in time, the reason I keep going back is because the experience is consistently good. I know what to expect when I go, I never have to wait longer than five minutes to be in and out (since it's takeout only, except for dining in the outdoor seating area just outside of the cafe, but it's roughly three two-person tables, so YMMV there), so it's definitely something I try to hit up before I go about my day in SLU. read more

Love this place! Such a cute corner cafe with great espresso and non-espresso drink options. They have the best matcha latte in SLU, in my opinion, and have every non-dairy milk option you could want (my fave is hemp). They also have some good breakfast sandwiches and uniquely flavored financiers. The drinks are on the pricier side (paid about $6 for a 12oz hot matcha latte) but pretty reasonable for the area. Everyone who works here is super friendly and nice! Definitely pop by if you are in SLU. read more

Tried out Cafe An'Clair this morning and it was good, but not great. I ordered the avocado toast with a matcha latte. The matcha was very good, but the avocado toast was pretty plain. I liked their touch of lemon on the toast though, but that was about it. I also ordered 4 of the bite size financier pastries to go. I asked what the yuzo financier was and I was told it's some kind of asian citrus flavor. I spent $22 total for everything which to me is pretty reasonable. Overall experience was pretty mediocre. This is going to be one of those places I try, but probably not come back to. read more

it is a very cute, white and plant filled cafe that is located in a bit of a funky spot in downtown but is very close to things such as glazers camera store. i came in and was so excited to try their matcha as there were many reviewers who raved about it. the workers were all very nice and the cashier in helping me was so patient. i got a regular matcha latte that was half sweet and i honestly tasted nothing. i knew it would not be good as it was SO light in color (the most milky matcha i've had in seattle) and it was basically a cup of green milk that i paid $7 for :/ read more

Would I fancy a Financier? A person managing large amounts of money? Or French almond cake? Nevermind... I'll take a batch of all of the above you mentioned @cafeanclair At Denny Triangle, you can sample the French almond cakes, financiers! Don't let their size fool you! Each nibble is packed with buttery sweet flavors. The four flavors today are: Honey, Yuzu, Coffee, and Brownie. And they're only $1ish per piece. I love their crust, so their small size allows for more crust to inside ratio! This cute cafe reminds me of places in Korea. Cute coffee shops with special baked goods. This one is an intimate shop, with large windows, which allow you for beautiful pictures with tons of natural light! Their Spanish latte was delicious as well! And everything was priced fairly! Yam yam yam! My only wish is if they could ask if it's to-go or eat in. Pictures still look best on dine in ware! Tho all their to-go items are compostable! read more

Super quaint and cute cafe with coffee and food that is perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch! They have pastries, sandwiches, oatmeal, and other snacks that are great for a grab and go bite. My favorite was the Yuzu Financier, which was a small buttery pastry, similar to a madeleine cookie with its soft texture. Coffee-wise, I ordered an Iced Almond Milk Latte and it was just okay-- tasted too much like just milk and the espresso didn't really come through enough for me. Overall though, cute spot with unique food offerings and a pretty expansive menu! read more

I was in a hurry but hungry so I made a quick stop at Cafe An'Clair to grab some breakfast. Fortunately they had a breakfast sandwich so I got that. They were very fast with their service which I appreciated. I wonder if I could ask for any style of egg because I forgot to do that and ended up with kind of like a sunny side up style egg in my sandwich (I prefer scrambled). I'm curious about the financiers but the small portion for that price keeps stopping me from getting them. I will get to them eventually though. The scone was decent but not the best. read more

Their cloud cold brew is great!! The foam has a nice soft flavor and I added in some vanilla syrup for a touch of sweetness to the cold brew. The interior of this place does have minimal seating, so its great for a quick coffee break, or to catch up with a friend. However, you're looking for a place to work / study though, this may not be the place. read more

I finally checked off their honey Financier and bulgogi Toast from my list yesterday! The honey Financier was okay - a little bit too sweet and greasy for me. I liked the crispy shell texture on the top and the inside was too cakey (soft mushy-ish) for me. I prefer the Yuzu flavor. The Bulgogi Toast was pretty good! They cut it in half so it was easier to eat. The bulgogi beef on top was delicious. I do wish I knew there was sriracha added so I could ask for no sriracha version. Don't get me wrong - I love sriracha, but its flavor was so strong and sour that it degraded the flavor of the bulgogi beef IMO. The toast they used was Giuseppe bread, great texture. Overall a good light lunch toast. I'd say $8.5 after tax is a bit overpriced though, either given the amount of beef you get or considering it as a light (half) lunch. Maybe I just eat too much. Last time I wrote a review for their oat milk latte but it got overridden by my review the next day... I'll append it here: Good overpriced oat milk latte. I paid $5 after tax for an 8oz latte. The cup almost looked pocket size, given the price. The latte art they did was very impressive, since I asked for vegan milk instead of regular one. Flavor-wise, I still prefer my latte to be stronger, the latte from Caffe Vita for example. read more

Tried the kale salad here for lunch and thought it was pretty good. It was very simple, just kale, almonds, cranberry and cheese and a pesto dressing. No gimmicks or unnecessary toppings or sides. The ingredients were fresh and high quality and of good portion. Even though it was a to go order, the service was just as great. The girls there are super nice and very polite and give really good recommendations. I also love their pastry display and even got to try a sample and it was delicious.

Where on earth did you come from, Café An' Clair? I've been meaning to swing by ever since I heard about their yuzu financiers, but never had the time... until now. And now that I've been here, I'll say this - you Amazonians are lucky to have this place so close by! It's a cute space a block away from the more bustling part of South Lake Union. The staff was friendly and the service was incredible - they could read my mind even before I asked for anything. The yuzu financier was delicious and buttery - as expected - and their matcha latte was one of the best I've had in a while in the Seattle area. I'd recommend getting 50% of their standard sweetness for this latte - it's still yummy AND you won't feel so sluggish from having a sugary drink. On my way out, the cashier even said, "Have a nice day, Sara!" They remembered my name!! I almost melted into a puddle from their kindness. Too bad it's not open on the weekends - otherwise I'd be here more often. read more

Nice cafe with a beautiful space to grab your drinks and snacks and enjoy your day. This past week, my friend and I stopped by this place as I've been seeing reviews about this new cafe that recently opened up in the area. I actually quite like their space..it's modern, light filled and just pretty..you kindda feel a lil more like a sophisticated person getting food here :) I got to try what I wanted..the mini pound cakes/ cubes. To my slight disappointment..there were about 6 flavors to choose from..and not as many flavors as I thought just by looking through some pics I saw on Yelp. Many flavors were a lil plain to my liking..like vanilla..etc. I got to try the yuzu and the tiramisu flavor of these cubes. They were good..not bad at all..but nothing stood out too much that I would beg to come back to get the same thing again though. What I like, however, is the small size of the cubes..so you don't feel too full or can just try as many flavors as you like. Overall, service is polite, helpful and kind. Wouldn't mind stopping by again as a place to meet up with friends if I happened to be close to this place. read more
