    Pear Creme Brûlée
    Shelby I.

    Fresh pastries & coffee in the heart of Seattle! We found this place on a whim since it was near our hotel. We needed a quick breakfast before heading to our cruise & this place did not disappoint! We got a couple different pastries and a coffee. This place was definitely popular because there was a constant line. We opted for: 1. Creme Brûlée Pear: Omg the crunch on top, the juicy pear, the creamy filling. It was the perfect sweet treat! The pears got a little messy and slid off the pastry but overall, delicious! 2. Churro Cruffin: mmmm... the sugary crust, the vanilla custard filling, the buttery croissant. This was definitely our favorite! Good thing we got 2! 3. Plain Croissant: This was for our daughter and she loved it!! It was flakey and buttery, just the way she likes it. She devoured the whole thing! 4. The hubby got a caramel latte with oat milk. We love a lactose friendly place! The coffee was strong but balanced out by the caramel. Overall, loved the pastries and would be back for them!

    Came by for breakfast! Food: We got the skillet, omg sooo good. The tomatoes in the egg just added a lunch of flavor. Not sure how I felt about the mushrooms, fed a veggie lovers dream, but I think maybe too many mushrooms? Regardless, it was delicious and a very filling meal! Service: Food came out quick, the and staff at the front was helpful in their suggestions. Ambiance: Cute vibes, very IG worthy. Also the seating area and overall whole place was very tidy despite how busy it was.

    Freya is a spacious, warmly lit cafe with a great selection of food and drink. During my Seattle trip, I had mostly been eating pastries for breakfast, but I loved that Freya had something heartier and more options in general. I ordered a hot København latte, a slice of vegetable quiche, and a spinach and feta pastry to-go. My friend ordered a plain iced latte, the grilled brie and prosciutto toast, and a kouign amann to-go. The dine-in service was fast, and I thought the food and drinks were really good. The København latte was warm and spicy, perfect for a rainy day. The vegetable quiche was delicious - a substantial serving but not overly greasy or heavy. The brie and prosciutto toast had fig jam that paired well with each bite. I particularly enjoyed the toast since it had pumpkin seeds in the crust that gave it a nice texture. My only complaint is that my hot drink was served in a glass cup with no handle. I noticed that other patrons had received their hot drink in a ceramic mug, which I would've preferred. I couldn't immediately handle my drink to enjoy. However, I can say that their pastries reheat well! I brought mine back home to enjoy a day later, and it still tasted amazing. I'd love to come back and try their other pastries.

    Freya Bakery and Cafe has a good ambiance and solid food. I came in needing a balanced breakfast from an East Coast flight and ordered the healthy bowl with bacon. It had eggs, tomatoes, pineapple chunks, cheese, arugula, mushrooms, onions, and of course- bacon! It was warm and filling, which was just what I needed. It came with a side of toast that was solid too. There is plenty of seating here and lots of people doing work on laptops or catching up with friends. I would come back!

    Great coffee shop/bakery that took over the Specialty's space. The remodeling inside makes the place look sleek and modern and there's a ton of seating for groups and solo diners. Cool overhead lights, too. I had a blueberry danish which was fresh and sweet and crispy and chewy - all the things a danish should be. Also had a vanilla latte which was great. Service was fast without being rushed and friendly.

    Great spot for coffee with a really nice ambiance. Their croissant was good, while the rum ball was just okayish for me. One thing I really liked about this cafe is that it has plenty of space for working and comfortable seating, making it a great spot for long sittings. The only downside is that there's no air conditioning, so during hotter days it can get a little uncomfortable inside. Overall, still a lovely cafe for good coffee and a relaxed vibe.

    latte flight

    My friends and I went here on a busy day to study. We got the latte flight, and my friend got the orange almond cake. The lattes were decent, but it was hard to distinguish the flavors for some of them. The cake tasted fresh and flavorful. The interior was really pretty with different kinds of seating, though we were asked to move about an hour before closing. It would have been nice if we had a headsup about certain areas of the cafe being closed earlier.

    $12 orange juice. Maybe high end restaurant but take out self serve in plastic cup?

    Came in looking for a quick bite after lot of heavy expensive meals in the area. Inquired about the salmon mousse toast and asked if the soft boiled egg could be well done. The counter told us no so we decline. I was surprised to see the charge of $47 for a crossiant, coffee and OJ. Turns out the OJ in a plastic cup is $12 and they still charged me for the egg. This was in my opinion pricey for what we got.

    Pricey! 2 medium Americanos and an applet tart - just under $30 service was quick and they brought coffees to table. Americano was weak! Skimped on the coffee but apple tart was tasty. For the prices, not likely a place I would frequent often.

    Blueberry coffee cake with lemon...creme pat? Lemon curd?
    Katherine L.

    Super cute cafe in downtown seattle! I got the bluberry coffee cake and it was ok. The cake itself was a little too dense. Their kouign amann was phenomenal though. I brought it home and heated it up (the only way to truly enjoy a kouign aman). Very friendly staff. Look forward to going back!

    The inside. Lovely.

    I've been watching this place come to fruition and it looks like it's worth it. The inside is like a beautiful French cafe. And I love a separate pastry counter and coffee bar area - one of my favorite looks. You just feel like so many good things are going on. I enjoyed a delicious jasmine tea with honey and a slice of buche de noel. A delightful treat.

    I got an iced butterscotch latte with a tomato & ricotta cheese croissant and both items were 10/10. Butterscotch is not a flavor I normally come by at coffee shops so I just had to try it out and heavens almighty was it delicious!! It was sweet but not too sweet, the espresso wasn't burnt or bitter, and it reminded me of when my grandma gave me this candy as a kid when I'd beg for a sweet treat. As for the croissant it was a winner for me as well. I mean it's tomato, cheese, and flaky buttery bread so not much space for things to go wrong. Service was quick and if you choose to dine in they'll give you a number so once you find a spot to post up in they'll bring out your order right away. Seating here was also immaculate, so many options to choose from tables to stools to couches to booths this places has it all. I was only in town for work so I'm sad I can't come here on the regular but if you're in the area definitely please check this place out!!

    Blueberry lemon cake, iced lattes

    We came here after seeing a show at the 5th Avenue Theater. It is really close by. On a Saturday afternoon, it was about half full. It was not very noisy. They were playing music that we could hear pretty well. We had a choice of multiple different types of seating and tables. There are some comfortable options and some more business type options. We ordered iced lattes and blueberry lemon cake. We took a number to our table and waited for it to come. It all came out really fast. The servers and cashier were all nice and helpful. The coffee was really good. The cake was also really good. It had a nice layer of cream that was intensely lemony. It was a nice place to sit, talk and eat for a bit after a show. I had a nice time here.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Their cinnamon rolls looked amazing with the perfect decadent amount of frosting but so did the sprinkle cookies. The staff was kind and welcoming and patient wth me with my delay in decision making. I have so many things that I need to go back and try, most likely with a group, so I can try lots of things. They do lots of specialty items, depending on the day which is a fun way to spice up their menu. I ended up going with the burrata focaccia sandwich which came with burrata, roasted bing cherries, pistachio butter, balsamic, arugula, and sea salt focaccia. SOOOO yummy. Great sandwich, and I am so glad that they did lunch items early in the AM. The cherries were such a unique addition to the sandwich but worked well, and they were also representative of the local area (Rainier Cherries). I wish that there was flaky salt on the bread. I didn't get much salt flavor wise, even though is says sea salt focaccia. The focaccia bread was soft which is my preference for focaccia. Sometimes burrata texture can be weird, but this one was smooth, creamy, and perfect texture.

Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.
