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!!)
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
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.
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!
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.
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?!
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.
Came here on a weekday morning around 11am and wasn't really blown away by their selection. Got a chocolate almond croissant which I asked to have warmed up and ate on the premises. It was tasty, though on the sweet side. I also got a green tea and azuki red bean pastry to go and a basque cake. Neither of them really blew me away. They were both also on the sweet side. The basque cake also didn't have much flavor to it; it seemed to mostly be a custardy cake. Overall I was kind of disappointed after all the hype. They do have water set up so it's easy to self serve. Service was friendly. Street parking was easy. read more
I was in the area Saturday morning and needed to grab a quick breakfast and came across this spot! we parked on the street and walked right into a glorious pastry case! we ordered: - drip coffee - croissant with caramalized onion and cheese - fudge cookie - choco croissant OMG I loved my croissant with caramelized onion and cheese! It was delicious! My friend got the coffee and she really liked it. They also have a plate of $1 day old pastries. Great price! I will definitely be back next time I am in the area! read more

I have yet to find a better chocolate croissant in the city of Seattle than the ones at Fresh Flours. I am not just saying that because I live in the neighborhood either! Their pastries are to die for and their coffee is high quality too. I am excited to bring every single friend and family member that visits to Fresh Flours for a coffee and pastry treat. read more

I am so happy this place was open on Sunday. The food looked amazing though I only went in for an americano. Everyone one was wearing a mask and plenty of space for social distancing. Let's keep this business alive and be sure to visit. Also order a pastry or sandwich for me; they all looked amazing. read more

Working from home during this mid corona apocalypse has been so draining. I walked to Fresh Flours and asked if they made Red Bull Italian sodas to which they informed me they did not. One of the employees, whom I am assuming is a manager, offered to BUY me a Red Bull from the 7/11 across the street to make it. I declined and said I was just going to 7/11 instead for the Red Bull since that's what I really need anyway. I buy the Red Bull and I decided to go back to Fresh Flours and THEY MADE ME MY RED BULL ITALIAN SODA! I was so excited to have my drink that I left and realized halfway down the street that I didn't pay for it. I walk back to tell them I forgot to pay and they all smiled and said it was on them! WOW! This was my very first time at Fresh Flours and I explained to them that I am new to the area and hadn't had the chance to explore the city due to the corona shut down. Back in college when I had zero motivation, Red Bull Italian sodas where the only thing that kept me up, thus my hunt for this drink today. I am extremely happy with Fresh Flours and the employees there for everything they did. The least I could do was leave a review and tell everyone how awesome this place is! Definitely recommend! read more
Very cute store front. The service was great and I greatly appreciate the social distancing stickers. The merch was so cute that I had to talk myself out of getting a mug since I was getting so many pastries. I got the butter croissant, ham and cheese croissant, currant pecan croissant and the kouign-amann. The ham and cheese croissant was my favorite as the croissant was nice and flakey and ham was savory and not too salty. The currant pecan was the staff pick and was delicious! The location seems like it would be great if you are in the Phinney area at the zoo or at the community center as it's between the two. There's plenty of options for free street parking if you are driving. It's a solid choice for baked goods in Seattle and would highly recommend it if you are in that area read more

I love matcha everything, but I gotta say, this Green Tea Muffin is phenomenal! It looks so unassuming on the outside, like, "Ho-hum, look at me masquerading as a regular ol' muffin." Nice try, muffin. I'm not sure how Fresh Flours has found the perfect balance of earthy matcha and sweetness, but they have! That first bite is full on matcha goodness, followed up quickly with soft chewy sweetness (but not too sweet!) If you're a lover of matcha, this one is a must! read more

I used to love this place. Last April, that all changed (2017.. yes, it's taken me a while to decide what to do about this interaction). I had mehndi (henna) on my hands because I'm Indian and just had a wedding in my family. This is what we do. This grownup who lives in a big city smirked when he saw it as I was PAYING FOR MY COFFEE AND SUPPORTING HIS BUSINESS. "Did you go to a street fair?" (Still smirking) "No...?" (Not realizing he was referring to my hands) "Oh, this. No, I went to a wedding." "At Seattle Center?" Still smirking, still smug, still ignorant AF. read more

This place offers such good pastries that I make the hour journey once a month to quell my cravings. The good thing is that they have now opened up multiple locations so that if one location is sold out, I can drive to another one. To my "horror", other customers are also discovering this place and cleaning out the pastries before I can get to them! Therefore, if you want something specific, it's best to come early. read more

Ordered the green tea cookies and the black sesame cookies. Had to get what is their most popular item, from what the employee said, chocolate croissant. Cookies weren't my kind of texture, but the croissant was delicious flaky and had the right amount of almond filling. Will have to try the green tea azuki bean muffin that everyone is raving about on here! That said, convenient location from the zoo. Take your kids in here to enjoy some pastries and a coffee for you. Lots of free street parking. read more

I recently met a friend here for a coffee date and I fell in love with their charm. Cozy inside with tasty coffee/tea drinks and beautifully made Japanese-and-French inspired pastries. My soy vanilla latte was nicely made, not cloyingly sweet. The Swiss and bacon quiche was good, albeit a little small for the price. The savoury croissant with caramelized onions and Swiss though? Whew! Excellent stuff. I bought an almond chocolate croissant for my MIL who raved about it. Next time I visit, I'll pick up an assortment of those beautiful macarons and a green tea latte for my husband who loves those. The barista behind the counter was super-friendly and so was the cashier. Tables were a little neglected though and could have done with a wipe-down. Parking is limited to street only. Directly in front of the cafe, it's a bus stop. Because of its proximity to the zoo, there isn't a lot of parking when the weather is nice. read more
