Spinach and feta quiche, and a København latte.
Gabriele E.

What a cute spot! It is my first time here, and it did not disappoint. I got the København latte and it was so delicious. The cardamom and other flavors were so warm. The spinach and feta quiche was also delicious. My only two small gripes is that the entrance isn't very clearly marked and I had also purchased a croissant and didn't have it warmed up immediately. I had asked to have it warmed up after it was bagged and I sat down and they said they could not heat it up after you take it from them in a bag. Just forewarning others!

Love everything about this cafe. The ambience, the lattes, the pastry, and the nice baristas! There's WiFi and lots of cozy seating. Good place to come read a book, do a little work. They play soft indie type music and if there are people socializing, you can't escape the noise. Be forewarned!

The food was really underwhelming for the price and honestly left me disappointed. Everything tasted pretty bland and lacked any real character, which made it feel not worth the cost. The interior is quite small, but I can see how it might be a cozy spot to sit and work for a while. Service was nothing special, just average overall.

Self service place

I work close by and had never tried Café Hagen so figured, why not? Around 10 am on a Friday it was a bit crowded, and the ordering area is a bit crammed, but everything here looked delicious. I opted for a small matcha and a churro cruffin. While waiting for my drink I took the cruffin and sat in the back to get out of the way of the other people, and my drink was done quite quickly! Also the overall space is very nice, seems like a great place to work or just chat. I'll definitely be back to try more of their things!

Great coffee, very friendly service, just wish they had online ordering options. Pastries are delicious! It's not that big inside so can't fit a lot of people if you're looking to sit and chill for a bit

Pumpkin Pecan Latte and Cinnamon Ember Latte
Ashley C.

this was our favorite seattle coffee shop! a must try!!! we stumbled upon this coffee shop on the first day of our visit here and wow, it was amazing!! the gals working were so nice and helpful! we ordered the pumpkin pecan latte and the cinnamon ember latte with almond milk (both seasonal drinks)! both were delicious!! we got them iced as it was a nice sunny day. we loved this place so much though that we came back another day and got the same drinks but hot! equally as delicious!! this place is so cute and they have some seating available. highly recommend this place and we will absolutely be back when in seattle again! thank you!

Best Latte I Have Ever Had. Period. Wow. Popped into this place cause it sounded different. Totally impressed. Great ambiance, friendly staff, cool menu options. It's not huge but has small tables and a large communal table as well - very Nordic / Euro which is exactly the vibe they wanted. My Kopennhagen Latte was delish as mentioned with almond and cardamom notes that were perfection.. Added the Nordic Smoked Cheese toast which was super tasty - be warned, the bread is thick and toasted but the smoky cheese and tomatoes are chilled - but overall a solid and different breakfast choice. Customers were all chill and I really liked it. My only regret is that I didn't get a 20oz Latte but I will be returning...you should too!

I found out about this little coffee shop, thanks to Yelp reviews. It has a great rating and lived up to it. Great coffee and a really nice vibe. It might not be a great choice if you are in a hurry; because they take time to make your drink right (not like some mass market places), but it is certainly worth the wait.

Cortado with sparkling back and single origin beans
Aaron W.

I'm impressed by this single origin cortado shot pull, AMAZEBALLS. Solid shots, vibes, pastries are LEGIT! Come get suM!

Cap breve and almond croissant
Asher J.

Omg I love every cafe hagen location! The pastries and cappuccino breves are on point in each location!!! Great minimalist atmosphere, the only negative is the plastic plants- they should use real plants- and avoid pumping the atmosphere with microplastics, and make it a genuinely healthy ambiance because it feels that way otherwise. Love their pear cream brûlée danish and their beet hummus toast and umm their almond croissant. Most importantly their roast for their espresso and their cap breve is on point. They do not ask for size when I order one, which is how you know they know what they are doing. Places that ask me the size of a Cortado, macchiato or cap breve are spots I Irish exit. Lastly service is prompt and cordial. Kinda feels like being in Europe to be honest. I miss this vibe so it's nice to have it in the US for those of us who have lived and loved in other parts of this beautiful world!

Inside

Atmosphere: really cute café that just opened up down the street so I'm grateful for that. They have many other locations and I'm glad this one is now closer to me. It's quite small but cozy. It's a cute place to grab coffee with a friend. Food: my favorite is still their almond croissants, which I always get. It's filled with almond goodness and has a really great crusty exterior but soft layers inside. I've also gotten a couple of their pastries, such as their pear pastry and the churro croissant mix with a custard filled center. Everything I've gotten here is yummy. Do note that it is quite pricey, For example, a croissant is about seven dollars . Also, they get these baked goods from their other locations, so whatever is here is here and when they are sold out, they do not replace it. If you want almond croissants, you have to make sure you come early because they will definitely sell out.

It's a small shop and largely knick-knacks, but there are some real gems here:…read more 1. they have the best selection of pickled herring I have seen anywhere in the United States, and it's good-quality stuff. 2. they have Karelian pies that taste correct, and bring back fond memories of Finland.

And as for me, I always like to stop in and wander indie international grocery sites. Scandinavian Specialties is located on Crown Hill in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. There are a few parking slots adjacent to their building and also accessible via Metro bus. Nice, bright, clean site with well organized shelves and display areas. Easy to navigate and wander. Welcoming and upbeat service at the front register. The retail side of had a nice selection of jewelry, knives, socks, knitwear and sweaters, household decor, chocolates and other sweets, packaged and canned goods, frozen and refrigerated items. There's also an adjacent cafe area. The menu is visible above the front counter register. The Homie ended up selecting a bag of salted licorice (local), cloudberry jam (rare, imported), and Finnish bread cheese (Juusto, domestic from Wisconsin). He was happy with his finds and hopes to return to dine at their onsite cafe. *Scandinavian: Denmark, Norway, Sweden *Nordic: the above and Finland

What a delectable meal after a 4 hour bus ride Came here…read moreafter dropping off our bags at the hotel, since it was just a 5 minute walk away. We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland. Support local!

I was thinking I would prefer the salmon but hubs and I shared both. The Salmon Gravlax had creamy dill as a base, topped with pickled red onion & dill. Very tasty, very satisfying. Hubs was enjoying the pork, and once I tried it, I could see why. The horseradish aioli was the exact combination with the pork tenderloin. I think it was our favorite of the two. This was a great option after visiting the museum. Very enjoyable morning!!

I LOVED my Stockholm steam (black tea with cardamom syrup, nutmeg, and steamed milk). Comfort in a cup. The star of the show was the Rømmegrøt, a Norwegian sour cream porridge. It tasted very rich, creamy, sweet and just slightly tangy with a velvety smooth texture. The generous toppings balanced it out perfectly and it was served in a beautiful Fortessa bowl. The presentation elevated the deliciousness. The staff also cleaned up a broken plate knocked down by a little girl and handled the situation with kindness and grace. Freya reminds me of the cafe Off the Rez at the Burke museum: a beautiful tribute to the museum's heritage and a way for visitors to experience its culture.

I would love to come back to ask if they offer refills for free or at a discount. There was a good amount of seating, but I'm not sure if you could study/work here because I didn't pay attention to if they had wifi/outlets/a bathroom. I walked, but it seemed like there was a decent amount of street parking nearby.
