I was super excited to find out that Fresh Flours had a vegan breakfast sandwich, so much so that I jolted out of the Astra hotel and walked over to Fresh Flours. What a cute neighborhood bakery/coffee shop. If I lived in the neighborhood, it would be my 'Cheers' location and Im sure the owner would say, 'Morning Charles!' as I entered the door. Since I was new, I waited for the owner to finish talking with one of his regulars - #lifegoals, and then asked to have the vegan breakfast sandwich. He directed me to pull it out of the fridge so he could warm it up for me. We talked about my watch, and it was all genuine. Not long later, my sandwich was ready, and it was hot as I picked it up. I was giddy to have a vegan breakfast for less than 8 bucks in Seattle, but my happiness turned into disappointment when I bit halfway into my sandwich to discover it was still cold inside. Bummer - I didn't say anything even though I could have, and I know he would have made it right. I just wanted to finish my sandwich and get back to the hotel to meet my colleague before going to the Amazon offices. I would definitely come back and still get the vegan breakfast sandwich, but I would ask to add another minute or two to ensure it was reheated all the way through the middle. P.S. The croissants and the pastries LOOKED Deli Deli Delicious.
It's a cute coffee shop, low key, quaint and only a couple blocks from Denny park. My friend and I tried the seasonal drinks.. the orange zesty mocha was both of our fav, yummy and had a good notes of the orange zest. The peppermint latte was decent but I could barely taste the peppermint. They have a huge list to choose from their bakery options. We got an almond croissant and basque, both were solid. The best part was the staff.. super friendly and patient while we kept changing our order. I'd give a generous 4 stars!
CAN I GIVE THIS SIX STARS? For the cowboy sandwich. We dropped by for breakfast since it was close to our hotel in SLU. What a surprise it was! Atmosphere: nontouristy. Laid back. Relaxing. Service: excellent. Kind and professional staff Food: exceeded all expectations Items we ordered: -London fog- delicious earl grey tea with a milk foam. -mocha- made with great coffee and quality chocolate -kouign amann- very airy -pain au chocolat- quality chocolate and very airy *****cowboy sandwich- OUT OF THIS WORLD. This is a prepackaged breakfast sandwich from the fridge section, made by "Molly's". They heated it up for us. From the initial sight of it, bread looks more artisanal but the rest of it looks typical. We bit into the lightest airiest brioche bun by far. It was almost like a cloud bread, with very fine air pockets, even finer than angel food cake. The sausage and egg tasted very home made, very lightly seasoned, refined. I would come back here just for this sandwich and the drinks to go with it. Just. Wow. Whoever Molly is-- please keep making this !
My go to for many years now. Thanks Keith and Serena for the amazing drinks as always and treating us so well. Lately ive been grabbing their tosti's and it really quenches my morning / early afternoon hunger especially after being toasted. Their coffee and matcha will always taste good. I appreciate that they also decorate based on holidays. I'm loving the halloween decor at the moment.
Excellent pastries. Would come back Friendly and helpful staff Cute space with relaxing decor and chill music Appreciate the free water and utensil Bright space
Great place to get pastries! My favorite was the Matcha muffin which had a red bean inside, which was so amazing. The matcha cookie was OK as well as the Matcha latte. Their specialty coffees look pretty good! I would come back.
My friend and I stopped by Fresh Flours for a breakfast pastry this past Thursday morning after a run around Lake Union. The spot is more of a "grab and go" since there's not a lot of tables (only window/bar seating, which were taken up by other customers already). However, they have a few tables outside, and the breezy morning was the perfect time to enjoy our food outdoors. HAM & CHEESE CROISSANT - 5.75 Warmed up ham and cheese croissant was perfect. The croissant was flaky and buttery. The ham was warm with perfectly melted cheese. This was a tasty sandwich and definitely a good "go-to" in the area if you're looking for a quick breakfast/snack while on the go.
This place is nice, a good spot for a grab and go. Only one table but they have window seating. Workers were nice. The pastries displayed looked cute. The food and coffee was fine, above mediocre. If you're in a bind then def a good spot but wouldn't go out of my way to try. Mocha - 7.5, solid London Fog - 7, solid Ham and Cheese croissant - 8, good but wished the cheese was more melty. We heated it up and ate it there and the inside was still cold Peach danish - 6.5 - wouldn't recommend getting
It's honestly not bad. I am particularly impressed by the matcha muffin. The matcha is very present with just enough red bean paste. The almond croissant is alright. I think it would taste better if I heat it up. I will comeback if I ever pass by the neighborhood again. As for the americano, I just don't have a lot of memories. People here complaint about service. C'mon, it's Seattle. You think people just greet you with a big smile? Inside is very cozy as well. It's really a cozy spot for a rainy day.
I love this shop! Visited last year and couldn't wait to go back this trip & was not disappointed. Today was 3rd visit this trip and the lattes are hot, smooth with just right flavor! The staff is kind, efficient and welcoming and the pastries are out of this world consistently good!!!! So far this trip I have enjoyed lavender latte, violet latte with cold foam, vanilla latte & a hot honey lavender latte... all delicious!!!
Food - the bakery is really tasty. We tried a matcha muffin and blueberry muffin as well as the ham and cheese and the regular croissant. Very flakey croissants! The muffins were very good too - so good my partner ate his before I could try a bite of his. For drinks we got the matcha and the mocha. The sizing is really solid here as are the portion sizes. I think the bakery was fresh and delicious and the drinks were also good. Service - very kind and attentive. They were constantly sweeping up and wiping down as folks were coming and going (those croissants are flakey!) and were very friendly. They also have a small dog treats bowl too! Ambiance - it's a small and cozy little spot tucked into the side of the first floor of an apartment complex. There's both indoor and outdoors but the patio is quite small. I think they might have more seating across the walkway when it's warmer? They are dog friendly but we sat outside at the one patio table with our pups because it was a bit busy and crowded inside. There were quick in and outs, families, couples, solos, pups, babies, and lurkers with laptops so this cafe seems to serve a diverse crowd. Very cozy for lingering but also very efficient for a grab and go too. Overall - would definitely come back and try more bakery or some other drinks. The matcha was nice but I want to try their lattes too.
I have been working in SLU right across from fresh flours for the past 6 months and I have been coming here since day 1! The location is extremely convenient for me, and if there's no rush, I can leave my desk, and be back in under 10 min. If there is a rush, at times uh the mornings, the baristas are still pretty efficient, and usually I'm out within 15 min! They have a very nice selection of pastries, and every single one I've had tastes great. My favorites are the green tea muffin and the sausage and mushroom pitivier. I also really like their matcha lattes. They were previously offering an option of an iced strawberry matcha with the choice of getting it in seltzer rather than milk (a summer seasonal drink) and this was one of my favorite items! Now I stick to a hot matcha, but will sometimes mix it up with a pumpkin spice chai. Everyone who works here is extremely nice. The cafe itself is really cute, really bright, with barstool seating and also some couches. I've also sat and consumed my food and drinks on the outdoor patio on warm days. So thankful I work right by here
Delicious espresso and croissants. Highly recommend if you're in the Southlake Union neighborhood. I stopped here for an afternoon caffeine break and was very impressed by my oat milk latte. Delicious espresso and very nicely prepared latte. Nice and nutty oat milk with great ratio to the espresso. My almond croissant was also outstanding! The almond filling was incredible and the croissant was flaky and buttery and very delicious. Service was very quick and the employee I talked to was very friendly. Inside there were plenty of tables and it was a great atmosphere. Very calm, clean, and cute vibes. I'll definitely be back. read more
This would be my go to cafe if I lived here! Service is on point and it has a cute cafe vibe inside and out. There is outdoors seating, high top window seating, a couple tables with chairs, plus comfy cafe seating. They have a few grab and go vegan options, too, if you want or need that. There are 4 locations but this one in SLU is in the heart of the tech district near Amazon and Google. The pastries were awesome! Coffee was stellar and roasted by ANOTHER small and local place. And while this location is in a busy area, it's tucked away on a smaller street so it is not terribly noisy. Can't wait to go back! read more
A nice cozy and friendly little shop. Very comfortable, and they serve one of my favorite coffees--Onda Origins. Nice selections of pastries that are baked at a central bakery offsite. Got coffee. Good atmosphere. Great staff. read more

I'm ready to bring Fresh Flours their flowers for providing richly crafted coffee drinks and enriching pastries all in the small cafe setting where the activity is high and the buzz is good. The most blooming flowers must go to owners and spouses Keiji Koh and Etsuko Minematsu who turned their baking dreams into a mini empire of Asian infused sweet treats and deluxe craft coffees with four locations and counting. Located on 8th Avenue North on the ground floor of the 8 + Republican Apartments in the up and coming South Lake Union neighborhood, what makes Fresh Flours stand out among the plethora of coffee shops in the Emerald City is that they are equal parts bakery and coffee shop. It was this distinction that led me to take a few block walk from my hotel across the street from the nearby Denny Park, what drew me to Fresh Flours was the fact that they served fresh pastries both sweet and savory and I knew this because I typed in coffee shop in my trusty Yelp app as I was walking around, and my fellow Yelpers made sure to post a number of their baked goodies and I was sold by the images alone. When I entered their darkened cafe space, there was no one in line, so decisions had to be made rather fast. Instead I took my time and when I turned around there was a line of people behind me. This gave me a little more time to decide what beverage I wanted to order, and what pastries that I planned to order. The regular beverage menu is pretty straightforward at Fresh Flours as they have your traditional coffee drinks including drip, espresso and cappuccinos among others. I wasn't expecting them to have a Drink Special menu featuring four coffee drinks with some truly unique flavor combinations. Although I could have chosen from one of their options such as Honey Pistachio Latte or their Blue Moon Latte with Lavender and Blueberry, there was something about their Creamsicle Latte that was calling my name, and when it was my turn to order their barista suggested that I get this coffee drink over ice, of which I had some hesitations, but I obliged. Although they had some luscious looking pastries from the shiniest danishes, hearty croissants, and the largest kouign amann that I have ever seen, there was something about their Sausage Mushroom Pithivier that I instantly knew it was going to be good, so I ordered that and a Double Chocolate Cookie for my sweet treat. My total bill was $14.82 before gratuity was added in, which was actually reasonable considering how many items I ordered this initial visit. Thankfully they have the option of heating up my savory pastry, of which it took less than a minute, and it wouldn't take too long for my beverage to be ready for pickup at their counter area. I was able to take some time and sit there and enjoy what I just ordered, which was a nice change of pace especially since their WiFi signal was easily accessible and strong. I have to be honest the coffee drink wasn't my favorite, as there were too many flavors competing with one another and it didn't help that the entire coffee had an overabundance of ice cubes in it. What was the real star of my meal were their baked goods as my pithivier was one of the most savory, heartiest small meals that I have enjoyed in quite some time. The chocolate cookie was more of a crinkle cookie thanks to the abundance of powdered sugar, which in turn got over everything as I would take that back to my room, but it too was a delicious delight. I cannot wait to come back to Fresh Flours and try more of their pastries as they all looked so decadent and delectable. And all priced at no more than six dollars, then when combined with a traditional coffee, your day is set! It's time to take in the fresh scent of flowers when visiting Fresh Flours! read more

I loooove pastries so I've been eyeing fresh flours for a while. I got the twice baked almond croissant and the blueberry lemon pastry. They were cold when we received them so good thing I lived close by so we could reheat everything. After reheating them, the pastries were still pretty mediocre. My friend who also got the twice baked almond croissant did not like hers at all. There was barely any flaky/crunch texture to it that a croissant would have, it was all kinda mushy? Also the girl that worked there seemed unfriendly and very unhappy to be there. I thought I was just imagining that but my friend brought it up too and now reading through recent reviews, it seems to be a thing. read more
If you are the coffee drinkers who enjoy having pastries, go to Fresh Flours. There are multiple locations in Seattle. We have been trying out cappuccino and pastries from so many coffee shops in WA for the past 3 years and this is by far the best in Seattle. Pastries - 5/5. Their croissants (plain, chocolate, Azuki red beans, almond) are baked perfectly! You can request to get them warmed up there. They are light and flaky outside and chewy inside. Cheese danish is good, but you can't beat their croissants. cappuccino - 5/5. always good. Pet friendly - they offer dog treats. Service - friendly. Ambience - pretty cozy with bench, bar stools and some chairs. read more

I've heard good things about the matcha muffin at Fresh Flours, so I had to give it a shot. Swung by at 10am on a Sunday morning and nabbed the last one. Overall, this pastry did not disappoint! I thought that the green tea flavor was subtle in a good way -- neither too sweet nor too bitter. The muffin's consistency was spot on, with a chewy interior that was moist but not gooey (lol something about that description sounds wrong). This contrasted well with the crunchy nut toppings. The muffin also had a small dollop of red bean paste tucked in its core. I wish they added more, since it was my favorite part. Solid 4 stars. I can definitely see the appeal of Fresh Flours, especially to those who dislike overly-sweet pastries but love Asian-flavored desserts. read more

Great bites and drinks! I went to Fresh Flours because it was one of a very few coffee shops that was open at 6 AM and it did not disappoint! While there is limited seating, the food, drinks and friendly service over compensate for it. It can get pretty crowded (in my experience between 9-9:30) but the line seemed to move fast. I ordered a standard latte to start with a croissant with pecans, which was delicious! After working for a few hours at the bar seating I had to order the "sweet treat" which is a strawberry matcha latte and OMG it did not disappoint!! The strawberry flavor was jammy and complimented the matcha so well. read more
This review is for the Twice Baked Almond Croissant ($3.95)! It was nice and light and flaky with a good almond flavor and ample almond filling. I loved the extra layer of almond crust on top. I definitely want to come back and try their other items! read more

The service was super friendly and fast. There isn't too much room for seating but it has a nice vibe and there is some outdoor seating as well. The mocha was very good and the pastries are just awesome. This will be my coffee shop when I'm in town from now on. read more

Came across this shop accidentally when the shop I intended to go to first was closed on Labor Day weekend. Their loss, because Fresh Flours was great. Loved all the pastries especially the ones with a Japanese twist with azuki bean or matcha. The almond croissant was delicious as well. Would definitely come back. read more
