    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!!)

    Vegan breakfast burrito

    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

    Pastry display and friendly staff

    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.

    mocha, caramel steamer, blueberry danish

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    basque cake
    Anna C.

    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.

    Heavenly pastry case
    Cara T.

    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.

    Delicious coffee and pastries and yummy breakfast sandwiches! Very cute atmosphere and kind workers

We went on a Saturday, and it was super busy, but I will say the line moved surprisingly fast, which I appreciated. A heads-up if it's your first time: the shop itself is very small, so most of the wait is outside, and they only let about 2-3 people inside at a time. Even with the crowd, the process was efficient, and the staff we interacted with were very nice. We wanted both savory and sweet, so we tried the popular beef & cheese bun, chicken teriyaki, and hazelnut roll. The beef & cheese bun was definitely the best thing we tried. It was warm, flavorful, and reminded me of the filling inside an Asian meat bun, which I enjoyed. The chicken teriyaki was disappointing. It didn't look anything like the photo they advertise, and the flavor was just okay, nothing memorable. The hazelnut roll was decent and not overly sweet, which I liked, but it wasn't something I'd go out of my way for. Overall, I personally think this place is a bit overhyped. The fast-moving line and friendly staff were a plus, and the beef & cheese bun was good, but based on what we tried, I'm not sure it fully lived up to the hype. Still, if you've never had it before, it may be worth trying once since they have plenty of other menu options.

    I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

The espresso shot I tried was extremely bitter and just not as smooth as it should have been. The savory croissant was ok, but it lacked any big flavors, and the texture wasn't really croissant-like. The hit cross bun was just unimpressive and not very good at all. Overall, I would probably skip Sea Wolf Bakers next time. It's ok, but there are so many other amazing bakeries too. Maybe I tried the wrong stuff?

The barista was nice enough to remake the drink, but that's probably one area of improvement. Overall, this is a great little spot and I look forward to coming back again.

The breakfast sandwiches available after 0700 are savor-y and packed with flavor. I see issues with customer service and I get it. Sometimes, the person taking my order isn't very thrilled. The other day, when I asked to confirm a particular drink was mine (as the drink was prepared for to-go instead of here), I received a judgemental stare. But I come here often and have learned how busy they get. I get exhausted just watching them! and I am so grateful this cafe is here. As someone coming from another cafe-focused city, this was the first place that really made me feel like I was home. Stellar food, beverages, and ambience. Only other complaint is lack of outlets for charging.

I ordered a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and loved how perfectly the chocolate was incorporated into my drink! It tasted sweet and the coffee added the robust flavour I love in my mochas My boyfriend had never tried a Moroccan Fog before and he loved how sweet it was without him having to add sugar. He especially loved that it had just the right amount of mint flavoring without being toothpaste For breakfast, I ordered their fruit danish! I love that they had different options of fruit to pick from and I chose blueberry! The pastry was perfectly flaky and I loved how fresh the blueberry tasted. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate croissant because he was excited at the idea of the chocolate being piped through the croissant and also drizzled over the top, but it turns out the dark brown parts on top are just design and not more chocolate. Still, he was pleased with the amount of chocolate in the croissant and the bite I had was heavenly. The champagne cake caught my eye as I was ordering and I just had to try a bite, it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved how light the cake was and the layers of flavour through the whole dessert! I love how bright and airy the cafe is! My boyfriend and I were easily able to find seating by the windows and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the space needle and people watching as we shared breakfast. The staff here was also patient and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back and try more of their pastries!!

    Finally made it out to Saint Bread and I loved it! Arrived around 9am on a Friday morning and…read morewaited ~30 min in line. All the pastries except for the regular butter croissant were available, and we were able to place an order for the kimchi focaccia and sakura swiss roll, which were slated to come out around 10am. Service was super friendly! I got the hojicha latte, the okonomiyaki frittata, black sesame cookie, kimchi focaccia, and sakura swiss roll. The hojicha latte was rich and earthy in the best way, and it went really well with the black sesame cookie, which had a great strong sesame flavor, and the texture was perfectly chewy! The focaccia was pillowy and chewy at the same - I could've eaten five of these on their own. The frittata was my least favorite item, but by no means am I saying that it's bad! I thought the sauces overpowered it a bit, and the frittata itself was a bit bland - I couldn't even tell it had sweet potato in it, but it was cooked really well. There was ample seating in the heated patio, but parking was a little confusing, though we got lucky with the small lot right next to the store. There were a lot of signs that said no parking along the street in front, but it seemed like a lot of cars were parked there?

    Cute little shop. Arrived a little after 10am on a Saturday and the line took us about 30 minutes…read moreto get through. Once ordered, the drinks came out pretty fast and so did my sandwich. I don't know if they rotate their pastries or if they just sold out of everything but only items on display case were the chocolate cookie, sesame cookie, the sakura chiffon roll, savory focaccia, apple cake and maybe one other item. I really was looking forward to trying a cardamom croissant or bun but they didn't have either available. My iced latte was alright. Nothing to go crazy over. The cherry foam for an additional $2.00 was very pretty but that's where it stopped at. Absolutely no cherry or sakura flavor. Disappointed. The sesame cookie had a great smell to it. The aroma of sesame was strong. The cookie had a nice crisp to the edge and a chewy center. The sesame taste wasn't as strong as the smell. The spicy chicken sandwich on special was not spicy at all. It was overwhelmingly sweet from the orange glaze/sauce on the kitchen. It was a decent sandwich and I definitely finished it. Just not something I would gravitate back to. I understand the reviews about how this place doesn't live up to some extra hype. It's decent, solid and a great option for the area but to go out of your way for and wait thirty minutes in line? Not really.
