Such a fun addition to the waterfront! I've been to Café Hagen before, but this location feels completely different because of the setting. The views are beautiful and it's such a nice spot to grab a quick bite, sit by the water, or take your food and walk around afterward. They have a waterfront-exclusive menu which is a fun touch as well. We tried a couple of the sandwiches and they were really good, fresh and filling without feeling too heavy. Definitely the kind of food that works perfectly for a casual lunch or afternoon stop. The atmosphere is probably my favorite part though. Great vibes, beautiful scenery, and it feels like a little escape without actually leaving Seattle read more

The person who made my sandwich pronounced my ethnic name perfectly. The counter person suggested an espresso roast from Colombia that was closest to my dark-roast expectation. No, nowhere close--it's a medium/light roast with a nasty, acid-sour taste from high-pressure flash-cooking of beans. They are busy, so it's a rush culture; no menu available from the counter for me to step aside and review. I had to go outside and look at the outdoor menu. Well, I guess the only coffee original Seattleites like me can trust is from Fonte, Peet's, Viet, and Ethiopian's coffees. So yes, if you like milky drinks, this is your spot, but the Uptown Barista in Magnolia is where you a find a perfectly crafted, bold-flavored coffee. Not all coffee is made the same, and the young man didn't let me a switch to tea, so I dumped the horrific coffee out. I'm tired of these new transplants messing up Seattle's coffee. We like black and straight Americano or espresso. read more

Cafe Hagen - S and which is perfect - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you're truly looking for a side quest, I'd recommend walking the Elliott Bay Trail and then ending it with Café Hagen. I got the Croque Monsieur, which was delicious, served hot and ready with great flavor. The coffee itself was pretty solid as well. The vibes and atmosphere on a summer day were amazing since you're sitting right by the water with a great view. Seattle needs more places like this! read more

This is a lovely pit stop on the Elliott Bay trail! Great food, yummy refreshing drinks, and excellent customer service! This brand new, beautiful building tucked in Centennial Park near the shoreline, is a great oasis. The seating is outside with a great view of Elliott Bay. However, they don't have indoor seating, so it might be a tough sell on a rainy day. I tried the Hibiscus Spritz and a tomato and ricotta pastry. Both were so good! It can get very busy, so plan to go during off hours if you don't want to wait a long time. I'll definitely be back! You really can't beat a cute cafe along the trail. read more

Cafe Hagen - Hibiscus Spritz, Tomato Ricotta pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What a beautiful location! We stumbled upon this place walking down the newly renovated trail. We didn't even know it existed but it was very fun to arrive at this pleasant location. The food was as great as ever. We'd been to other Cafe Hagen locations before, so I knew their sandwiches and the toasts were great. However, there is something special about this particular one overlooking the water and the beautifully maintained water always that elevates this place above all the other locations. They were staffed as much as the small space behind the counter could allow for, but I have to warn you that when I was there, there was a huge wave of people, and it took a long time to get our orders. When it's a sunny warm sunny day, I'd be prepared to wait quite a while. Also, the patio was constantly full, so may have to find seating elsewhere in the park. I'm interested to find out how this place is doing in the peak rainy season. I will report back again in mid December. read more

Tried the newly opened Cafe Hagen Waterfront location today, and first of all, 10/10 for the location! Such beautiful water views. They even have a cute hammock where you can relax and enjoy the view while sipping your coffee. I've always loved Cafe Hagen for their coffee, and this location definitely maintains the same quality. The only catch is parking. There seems to be very limited parking nearby, at least from what I could find. There are a few parking options in the area, and we lucked out and found a spot at the North Car Public Park. Overall, 10/10! Great coffee, beautiful views, and such a lovely spot to hang out. read more

I stopped by Cafe Hagen on the waterfront today and ended up having a really great experience. One of the things I liked most is that there's finally a spot right along the Elliott Bay Trail where you can grab a coffee, pastry, sandwich, or cold drink without having to leave the waterfront. If you're coming from the Queen Anne side, it's roughly a mile into the trail from the W Thomas overpass, but definitely worth the walk. The location itself is beautiful. There are about six tables and plenty of barstools on the patio, comfortable couches, and great views overlooking the bay or to just people watch. I noticed a couple of people working on laptops while I was there, so it seems like a good place to settle in for a while and get work done. It's also very dog-friendly, with water bowls available outside for four-legged visitors. For lunch, we tried the Market Club and the Urban Pesto sandwiches. Both were excellent and much larger than I expected. I only managed to finish about half of mine and ended up taking the rest home. One of the staff members recommended the Hibiscus Iced Tea, and on a warm Seattle afternoon it absolutely hit the spot. Even though they were busy during the lunch rush, service was friendly and our food arrived surprisingly quickly around five minutes after ordering. A fun touch was the large swinging couch overlooking the water. It comfortably fit a couple of people and a pair of dogs as well. Overall, Cafe Hagen feels like the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to, whether you're taking a break on the trail, meeting a friend for coffee, or just looking for a waterfront spot to relax for a bit. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a very popular spot right now, and I can see why . Great location and ambience, great view (specially in summer or no rainy days) Came in early and they had loads of choices of savory and sweet pastries. Also à la carte choices. Bring your furry friends! Pet friendly. No WiFi but restrooms available. read more

Beautiful new coffee shop on the Interbay waterfront! Their drinks are always great and I enjoy their croissants & quiches. Seating is outdoor only, though it is covered. There is also plenty of seating around the area (park benches and such). I would recommend parking on the main road and walking the pedestrian bridge to the coffee shop, as the park's parking lot is very small. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Beautiful location but the service was a bit slow and we ended up needing to ask for our food a couple times before we got it and it was already ready behind the counter. I'm sure it's just growing pains and can't wait to be back here again. Definitely stop by if you're walking by the waterfront read more

This place has certainly become the talk of the neighborhood, understandably so as it is aesthetically gorgeous and their menu is very appealing. In my opinion, a little overrated. If tried to give their matcha a few times and it never really tastes up to par, this location is definitely perfect for tourists visiting and maybe a WFH situation but outside of that it's not the best. The view definitely makes up for it! Keep in mind that this cafe is about 1.5 miles into the Expedia trail along the water! It is directly in the sun so it can get a bit toasty during sunnier days! read more

This new location has the best vibes especially in the summer! There is a beautiful view of the water, outdoor seating, music, and walking paths nearby to take items to go. It was very crowded and took a while for our food to come, but that is to be expected with new locations. Food was delicious and so was the coffee. read more

Great addition to this area! Cute cafe with outdoor seating right on the waterfront trails. Sweet, savory and drinks. Two employees working the front and they were nice. read more

What a beautiful location for a cafe! This location is right by the waterfront. On a sunny evening, this was the perfect spot for watching the sailboats go by and sipping amazing coffee. We tried the Espresso tonic which was so refreshing and the København latte which was so delectable. The service was fast but the cashier definitely had some communication issues. They also had a lot of baked goods but we didn't try them yet. They have a lot of seating and even a cute swing. I will definitely be back. read more

In the showcase it looked totally different! Croissants looked exactly like they make them in Copenhagen, full of strawberries, blueberries and A LOT or cream. That's what I got after 30 min wait... The location is amazing but small for amount of people on the weekends. Be prepared to wait for the food (or "berry" croissant) at least an hour. Service needs improvement! Wait times and mixed orders are incredibly bad. read more

Cafe Hagen - Supposedly berry croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First - I love the location and the views are amazing. Truly a hidden gem on a nice sunny morning walk. It's a great spot to chill, read a book, listen to music, or hang with friends. I was very excited for this to open and hope they can stay in business. My only complaint is how expensive it is. I spent $27 on an avocado toast and a 12 oz latte. This is before they requested a $5 tip. I wouldn't be as disappointed if the portions were bigger but it's literally one slice of toast, not two as I'm used to getting at other cafes. I wish they had more affordable/attainable options. I would be here daily but it's going to have to be a nice treat about once a month. Also no wifi is a huge miss. read more

Cafe Hagen - $27 (before a $5 tip request): Avocado toast and a latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was excited to see that a cafe was going to open up inside Olympic Sculpture park. I live nearby and I'm alway here. We needed a place that served food. I went there on a Saturday and the place was packed. Very family friendly with outdoor seating. I'm not sure what's going to happen during the winter. My gripe is that the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. it's the only bathrooms in the park and they really need to do a better job with more frequent cleanings. It's only been open for a month and I was appalled at how gross it was. Secondly, the Asian woman barista was incredibly rude. She acted as if we were bothering her. She kept being short and was far busier talking to the other barista than customer service. The barista looked like she didn't want to be part of the conversation and was cue helpful. Again, I was shocked since they've only been open for a month. You'd think customer service would be on top. I hope management has a talk with this barista. It really ruined the afternoon. There's another review about a rude barista and I'm wondering if we're talking about the same one. I might give it another chance but customer service is important to me. I've gone this long without a cafe and I'll be happy to bring my food and drinks like I've always done. read more

i like the ovation and staff are anazing but a few things for the organization. No WiFi in this location nor the Kirkland makes no sense. Then the subpar sandwich was much overpriced read more

Great food, great location. Lots of potential. There aren't enough places to sit - bring a picnic blanket just in case. The staff is weird - the lady handing out food was really rude. She made my partner feel uncomfortable while she was waiting, and then complained to us when we weren't around to pick up the food up right away. I don't get it - not my fault you understand hospitality. Lots of restaurants handle more traffic with less attitude. I'll frequent the other locations in SLU/Queen Anne until the staff here figures out how to manage the crowd. You should too - Hagen is my favorite cafe in the area, but this location has some speed bumps to work out. read more

I went into this café with my husband and bought a couple of mediocre desserts. We wanted to drink water with our dessert because it was a hot day, but the water pitchers were empty. I waited till there was no one in line and then told the cashier that the water pitchers were empty. He told me they weren't, and I told him I had just looked at them empty. Incredibly, This went back-and-forth for a couple of rounds, until he told me there was another water station "outside and around the corner". It turns out that he was sending me to a public drinking fountain on the Centennial Trail. To this day, I don't know why he just wouldn't fill the pitchers for me. I was a polite, paying and tipping Customer Horrendous customer service, and I can't help but wonder if it's because I went in with my same sex husband read more

I've tried this cafe over on Queen Anne and didn't care too much for it. Very overpriced. I was on the new beach trail and ended up at the cafe at the end and decided to try again. I got a coconut water, $6.00 and an almond croissant, $7.75. The croissant was a little stale and in my opinion not worth the price. And don't even get me started on the coconut water. I honestly don't know how small businesses are going to survive in this city. The cafe itself is nice, it's new. But it's in a very loud area of the trail, grain ships and the railroad. The music was cranked. There is no inside which will be interesting in the winter. There are better places to grab food and beverages before the trail, that won't cost so much. read more

Gorgeous views paired with gorgeous pastries and coffee. The cruffin and cinnamon social deliver as always but this time right on the waterfront! read more
