For my beverage, I had an iced matcha made with lemonade and topped with vanilla coconut milk cold foam. I was extremely refreshing. It was a perfect treat and was light in my stomach. The foam was so deliciously creamy. I loved the lemon flavor, and it worked well with the matcha. I think they could have done a little more lemon, but I always think that. They have lots of beautiful looking pastries to try. The croissants were especially beautiful to admire. There is ample amounts of seating, so you can choose to take your goodies or eating them inside. I went in the early afternoon, so there wasn't any line, but I am sure if you went at brunch time, it would be a whole different story. It is close-ish to Greenlake, so if you are willing to brave the hill, then it is a great post walk/ post workout spot. read more

Fresh Flours was such a pleasant surprise! I tried the lavender matcha and it was sooo good--perfectly balanced with just the right hint of floral without being overpowering. Definitely one of the more unique and memorable drinks I've had in a while. I also got the oat and coconut cookie, which was absolutely divine. It was incredibly soft and had a great texture, with the coconut adding a really nice flavor. Honestly one of those cookies you wish you had grabbed two of. The service was also super friendly, which made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe felt warm and inviting. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable, which is always a nice bonus. Great drinks, amazing baked goods, and kind service--would definitely come back. read more

When we arrived there was a line wrapped around the counter. Within 5 minutes we were rung up! Super efficient service & friendly-- we got nooo attitude about asking on an item on the menu which was so appreciated. The ambiance is great open doors, lots of greenery, chairs/tables and outlets. It's a great spot. We were really impressed with the quality of this fast paced bakery, the accolades well deserved indeed and friendly service to boot! read more

The croissants here are really nice, coffee is great, and when I want to sit, there's always a spot although it's a busy cafe. Close to the zoo, so a good spot to grab coffee along that route. Nice place to meet friends for coffee. read more

Fresh Flours has very quickly become my absolute favorite coffeehouse in Seattle. The pastry selection is something that dreams are made of, I am never able to decide on just one (luckily the staff are always so lovely and patient with me). As a pastry lover, I love a morning pastry, but more often than not if a cafe has incredible pastries, the coffee drinks are something to be desired...well, NOT HERE!!! No more sacrificing yummy coffee for a beautiful pastry or vice versa :) My partner doesn't always enjoy sweets for breakfast, so she has gotten the breakfast tacos and they usually never even make it out the door. On top of all of their delightful wares and treats, the staff is incredibly kind, they make the vibes so cozy and comfortable (and I'm never made to feel bad for my indecisiveness!!). The lattes are always perfectly steamed :) If you've been sleeping on Fresh Flours, do yourself a favor, stop in and treat yourself to some cozy goodness! (And don't worry about not being able to choose, because you will inevitably & miraculously find yourself back there sooner rather than later!!) read more

I've been coming to fresh flours for a while a thought I'd finally leave a review. They have a stellar array of consistency delicious baked goods, and it would be hard for someone to not find something they enjoy here. The fruit danishes are my favorite! Coffee is great and the baristas are always helpful and kind, even when there is a long line. read more

I have never had a vegan breakfast burrito but fresh flour's was awesome. Exploding with flavor and honestly didn't miss the meat. Service was ok but a little slow, maybe because of the holidays. Otherwise it was good. It's popular with the locals. Check it out read more

Everything was delicious! I could smell the warm pastries from half a block away. Fast and friendly service, even on a busy holiday today. I had the onion and Swiss croissant and a vanilla latte. The croissant was like French onion soup but just in a solid format! Absolutely incredible. I'll be back soon. Parking is a bit of a challenge in this area, but if you're willing to walk a block or two you'll be fine. read more

How I heard of this place: We were in search of a gluten-free bakery many years back and came across Fresh Flours. It had been a long time since our last visit, so we decided to give it another go! Type of cuisine: Coffee and pastries, plus a selection of breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos and other packaged goods. Ambiance: A corner space with much foot traffic near the Woodland Park Zoo, the space is quaint and warm. Seating on either side as you enter, with more tables stuck in a small space to the right and back tucked behind the order counter. In the front, a small bench graces the window facing the street and sidewalk, which also shares a small patio-like space with outdoor seating options. Pastries are packed in a small display area, but all look enticing and ready to devour. Baristas and staff are friendly and welcoming and help create the comfortable vibe of Fresh Flours. What I ordered: A mocha for me, and a small caramel sauce steamed milk with a blueberry danish for my dining companion. What I loved: The blueberry danish was tasty and simple. The mocha was made with a lovely dark chocolate, not too sweet, but perfectly balanced with the espresso. Why I loved it: Chatting with locals, neighbors and set in a space that feels like everyone is a regular. Cost: Average read more

I arrived here around 9:30am on a Friday. I really did not expect this place to be busy but the availability of seat inside were limited (yes it was that busy). They also have some outdoor seating available though. By the time I left around noon, more seats were available but I think it filled up as other people arrived. I ordered the Peach Danish and hot chocolate. Then on the way out, I had to get their croissant. -Peach danish: 5 stars. It was delicious. I was not planning to eat it right away but one bite became 5 then I ended up finishing it. The dough was just so authentic and one of the best (if not the best) I've tried in Seattle: buttery and the layers where just perfect. -hot chocolate : 4 stars? I didn't really care for it. Just hot chocolate too special about it. -croissant: 5 stars. Just as good as the peach danish minus the peach. Definitely recommend their croissant or danish pastry. They are really good at this type of dough. I would say that this is the closest to a French pastry I've been in WA when it comes to their croissant dough. read more

Best spicy chai latte ever, nice folk, cute place, street parking actually available!

One of my top 5 places in Seattle for pastries, they usually have 10-14 different kinds of pastries left at lunchtime on weekends. Today I tried the ham & cheese croissant (4/5 stars because it was dough-y around the ham), the pecan pull-apart (easily 5/5 stars, loved it!!), and the Mt Bakon taco (solid 5/5 stars, would happily order again). Ambiance was crowded as always - the line was long, and they don't have enough seating, but they don't have any more room! Staff were nice, helpful when I asked questions, and the service was quick. For the three items I spent about $17 with tax. read more

I was house sitting in the area and in need of some nourishment when I stumbled upon the best lil coffee shop on Phinney. What a remarkable discovery!! I ended up revisiting this place every morning - it's the perfect spot to grab a drip (light roast is amazing), get some computer work done, and enjoy a wide selection of burritos, sandwiches, and tacos for breakfast and lunch. Thank you for being a wonderful start to my day! I love the delicious Treehugger Sandwich (arugula, egg, and white cheddar on ciabatta) and if I feel a cold coming on, the immunity boost shots with ginger and pineapple heal all ailments. They offer Tokara Japanese confections as well as Onda Origins whole coffee beans and cool merch! The kindest and loveliest baristas, great outdoor and indoor seating areas, FUN seasonal specialty drinks, and very tasty pastries (go for the chocolate croissant, kouign-amann, matcha muffin, or caramelized onion swiss croissant!) read more

The food here is pretty solid especially being close to the woodland zoo. Coffee is great here. Try out the matcha latte, the flavors really mix together well and is delicious. All the pastry on the counter looks delicious. I also tried the sunrise burrito which is premade and warmed up. The insides of mine came a bit cold or not fully hot but isn't wasn't too bad. Also got the startup which is a egg sandwich which I would recommend. I think the picking up process is a bit confusing and it's too easy to take the wrong order. I think something like calling names for the order would really ease the confusion rather than just calling out the drinks especially for people like me who have never been and know the menu. Overall a tasty place though! read more

Seattle is filled with coffee shops and bakeries, and my eyes and my bank account are on two different budgets. We'll talk about that later... Anways, Fresh Flours! Started by two Japanese friends, their menu features fresh laminated pastries with a hint of Asian flavors. I got their blackberry danish with an oat milk cappuccino. The danish was heavenly. Flaky, airy, and not dense, it was everything a danish should be. The blackberry custard/jam was sweet and tart, a creamy contrast to the flaky pastry. The coffee was a bit light in my opinion, and I wished it was stronger. Service was okay, not the most friendly, but it was still professional and as it should be. There are better coffee options in Seattle, and I would come here for pastries next time! read more

This one isn't nearly as comfortable as its SLU location. I was a bit disappointed with its outdated furniture and worn string-woven chairs. The coffee and food quality is about the same, with a few more options from the fridge. I would treat it as a convenient neighborhood coffee shop and not somewhere I would take someone to. read more

Delicious pastries and coffee! This was my first visit, and I'll admit it was pretty overwhelming. So many options and the line was long but moved quickly. I let a few people go ahead of me while I dealt with my indecisiveness. Finally decided on a swiss and onion croissant, oat milk latte, peanut butter and a chocolate cookie. The latte was smooth and the perfect temperature. The croissant was flaky and full of flavor. It was so good I forced myself to eat it much slower than norm. Who cares about onion breath; it was so worth it! Of all the items purchased, this is one I'll surely return for! The peanut butter cookie was rolled in sugar - a little too sweet for me, but oh how I loved the addition of chopped peanuts. The chocolate cookie was rich and again too sweet for my taste. The customer service was great, the space is small, but there's plenty of neighborhood parking. My friend and I met on a Saturday mid morning and there was no seating available however, the neighborhood is walkable, so we took our goodies to go. I shall return to try each and every croissant option you have! read more

Dropped by around 9:20A on Friday morning and the place was pretty busy with good traffic flow in and out. Ordered a mint matcha and a basque cake. Really enjoyed the mint matcha--good balance of flavors, on the sweeter side. They have an 8oz size that was perfect. The basque cake was nice in texture with a strong crust but quite plain in flavor. Would personally skip it next time. read more

Pastries: 4/5 Service, space: 5/5 This is probably my fifth or sixth French pastries place I have tried in Seattle and I'm giving yet another business 5 stars.. because what Fresh Flours lacks in flavor, they make it up for by the wonderful staffs and service. I tried the almond croissant, pear almond Danish, kouign amann + a small latte (~$20 total) Pastries aren't as flaky or flavorful as I have hoped. The almond croissant is a bit dense and breadier than for example Celine or Bakery Nouveau. The pear almond danish is a little bland and suppressed in flavor considering it has plenty of pear slices , a bonus that it it pear-shaped, which is quite cute. Latte tastes great and is strong, I can feel my legs shaking as I'm writing this review lol. They have dine in tables + wifi + outlets for you to work at and there are people working too, which make me feel not guilty for sitting a bit longer... There is also outdoor seating for a nice day. Staffs are so friendly and helpfu, they offered me a ham & cheese croissant too?! read more

Coffee was great! I had a pistachio latte (I think pistachio was seasonal) which was delicious. Not too bitter and perfect balance of sweet and strong. We also got a chocolate croissant which tasted good, but I was disappointed that we weren't given an option to heat up the croissant and have the chocolate melty. Service was quick and friendly. We were easily able to find a table for our group of four on Sunday around noon. read more

If you're looking for coffee & pastries in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood, then head over to Fresh Flours Cafe near Woodland Park Zoo. To me, there is nothing like fresh baked croissants paired with locally roasted coffee. The cafe serves coffee from Onda Orgins Roastery. Recommendations: 1) For Savory, try the Ham & Cheese Croissant. 2) For Sweet, try the Twice Baked Almond Croissant. 3) For Cookies, try the Chocolate Chip Walnut. read more

The barista was nice as well. read more

I'm so lucky that this is my neighborhood cafe - it's wonderful! Their pastry case must be one of the most heavenly things on earth! Never pass up a yummy danish or an onion swiss croissant. The employees are always super friendly, there's usually a nice spot to sit, there's always a dog to pet, and they make a damn fine latte. It's a great neighborhood place, and my personal favorite coffeehouse. read more

How are the people around the Phinney neighborhood not extra fat? There are at least 4 incredible dessert places within 2 blocks of each other. I wish I live closer! Anyway, Fresh Flours at the corner with doors wide open on an inviting sunny day, taking a peak is a must. Immediately I see some awesome looking pastry options and also recognized Japanese treats from the nearby Tokara, which is difficult to buy from the main store but they offer selections here. Yay! Between goodies from Fresh Flours and goodies from Tokara, this is an excellent place for treats! Fresh Flours Items: Chocolate croissant - 4.5 stars Despite the number of things I bought, I had 3 little white baggies to carry all the items nilly willy, and I had to request the 3rd baggie. As a result, I partly moshed my chocolate croissant by the time I walked back to my car, which is a shame. It's a gloriously rounded half dome, crispy crust, with two pieces of chocolate inside. It's much better warmed with the chocolate softened. This is near perfection ignoring the moshed parts. Macarons - Yuzu lemon, Earl Grey, Black Current - 4 Stars The flavor of the yuzu and the black current is amazing! Earl Grey was too subtle; I couldn't recognize it. They are a touch flat, visually and literally. The outside is not quite as crispy (but can't be crunchy!). The ratio of the outer shell and inner cream is just right. Matcha Tea Cakes - 5 Stars The matcha flavor is strong, which I love! Tea cakes can be dry sometimes, but this one has the right balance. The bits of sugar on the outside makes it extra naughty. Azuki Bar, $2.25 - 4.5 Stars For the azuki fan, this is a must. It's an extra fancy cookie sandwich with a generous azuki center and handmade soft cookies on the outside. Tokara Item: Mochi, $5.20 - 4.5 Stars I don't know the exact name of the one I bought as the signs are all moved around; I think it's called the Young Grass. (The staff was annoyed that I asked the name...) The cost is for the workmanship. A fresh, pretty, soft-gummy mochi forms the outer floral petals. Strips of yellow mochi forms the stamen of the flower. The inside is generously filled with azuki. This is yummy and spendy. But it's worth it once in a while. There was one staff member when I went. He was nice but came across as impatient, kinda annoyed that I was looking at everything. Ah well. read more

Friendly staff, yummy oat milk latte, perfect spot for a cup to-go on the way to work. Good morning vibes. Worth a stop.

Coffee ~~ best coffee in the area. Since moving to Seattle a few years ago, we have checked out several coffee shops in the area. It's been a goal to visit a new coffee shop every Sunday, some times more than one. I am a self proclaimed coffee snob and aficionado. (not really). I really love coffee. Well, I have located the best coffee in town and. It's Fresh Flours! The coffee is always fresh and great. Love it. read more

Was visiting Seattle and came here (to the Phinney Ridge) location. They have a large selection of pastries: most notably the croissants and danishes. I got the onion and swiss croissant and thought it was really good! The pastry was thin, but the flavors were amazing! I also got an oat milk cappuccino, which TBH was not great. But I wasn't mad because I was coming off the high of the delicious pastry. The other thing I liked (that I don't think is really "theirs" but they just sell it) was the all vegan breakfast sandwich on an english muffin. Very filling! read more

Just wanted to double down on this incredible place. It continues to be my favorite neighborhood treat! I get an almond milk latte (they serve Stumptown, YUM), and always get the twice baked almond croissant, ham croissant, and anything else that sparks my taste buds.

Grabbed a coffee and pastry on a Thursday morning. The cafe was constantly busy, but I did not have to wait long to order and pickup my items.

I stopped in here after a cold rainy run and was delighted to see the array of baked goods and hot drinks! I appreciated that they were replenishing the pastries late morning on a sunday so there were still lots of choices. The twice baked pumpkin croissant is seasonal but if its there you should try it! I also enjoyed the pear and cream pastry! The kouign aman wasn't all I was hoping for but still tasty. The coffee was good and they had a selection of alt milks. Note the indoor space isn't huge so if it's a popular time, plan on getting items to go. There are also hot breakfast items but I didn't try those on this visit. Parking is on the street/in the neighborhood so it may take a minute. read more

The pastries here are amazing. If all you want to do is grab a pastry and go, this is one of the best bakeries in the city. Sadly, the staff likes to keep the seating area cold. I might be drinking a good coffee and a yummy pastry but they leave the door open because they are hot (the ovens from the bakery. Keep them hot I'm sure.) Either management needs to put fans in the back so the staff doesn't die or they need to figure out a way to heat the seating area so customers don't feel cold. One of the main reasons to go to the coffee shop is to sit in a warm space and drink a nice coffee and a pastry. It sucks that I have to buy pastries from this place and go to another place to stay warm and drink coffee. read more
