    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.

    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!!

    This gives warrior goddess vibes. lol I came just cuz that. Got a small coffee and service was great. Quick and simple. Seating areas were my favorite. There's so much space here.

    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.

    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.

    The baked goods, food, and coffee are delicious here. It's such a pretty cafe to sit and chat for a bit. The salmon we had was cooked well and tasted fresh. The bakery items were soft, pillowy and just the right sweetness. You wait in line and place your order, they'll call your name to get your order for the coffee and place your food at your table if you're sitting. I totally forgot to take pictures of the bakery items...too eager to eat them lol. Well worth it though.

    Upon arrival can't help noticed SO MUCH CRUMBS on the tables, chairs, floor After we got one pastries, we get in!! All the pastries are so deliciously flakey! Baristas were kind and answered all our questions, quick service, we ordered multiple items so we got a number and they brought our food to us. The ordering area where the pastries, coffee bar is on on side of the cafe while the sitting area on the other side. They had a beautiful Christmas tree which made it feel really homey. There are table/ chair or couch/ chair areas. We had our 2 kids with us and it was comfortable for us

    Dutch Chocolate Cake
    Harmony L.

    My husband and my cousin are OBSESSED with chocolate, specifically chocolate cake so when I read all the amazing reviews of this "Dutch Chocolate Cake" I said, we HAVE to come here and I'm glad we did. It was perfectly moist and not too decadent where you couldn't finish it. Absolutely worth it. My other cousin got the Cardamom Knot, but unfortunately, that was more on the dry side. The next time I'm in town, I'm very curious about the Mokka Dome and Matcha Dome! Their interior is so beautiful and carefully crafted; was totally my style that I took photos for inspo. There's ample seating and just a great place to visit!

    Seattle is known for it's Scandanavian community, and Freya is the perfect place to experience coffee and pastries in downtown Seattle. The cafe is large and light filled, but well laid out to create areas of coziness and "Hygge". Menu items are a little pricey, but you will be happy with whatever you order, and you'll enjoy hanging out here for quite a while!

    This is a beautiful cafe with ample interior seating. There is a kiosk at the front where you're able to order drinks or anything from the breakfast or lunch menu but it doesn't include pastry items-- super convenient for folks who don't have time to wait in line if there is a long line of patrons. There is also quite an assortment of pastry items in the case to select from as well. My sister and I ordered the København Latte, Golden Pear Cappuccino, Churro Cruffin, and a Pear Creme Brûlée. For the latte I had the option of either ordering a hot drink or a cold one and I chose regular milk as my base. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish the drink and the Creme brûlée so I requested for my order to be "to go". Since my sister's order was a dine-in, we picked up a number card and found a seat. A server then came by with our drinks. Neither of the drinks really impressed us. The Cappuccino felt more "peppery" than "pear sweetness". The latte had faint almond notes and a stronger cardamom after taste. The pastries were a home run for us! The pear Creme brûlée has actual cut slices of pear in the center with some creme layered underneath. It wasn't super crunchy or crisp but the brûlée exterior was very tasty. The cruffin was slightly more oily on the outside than I would have liked but the layers on the cruffin were so good-- crisp on the edges yet soft on the inside. I'm not sure why it's called a "churro cruffin" since I don't taste much of cinnamon but the vanilla filling was really nice and paste-y-- not the runny liquid type. Would love to come by again next time I'm in the area to try out more of their pastries!

    beet avocado toast, ham/cheese toast
    Isra A.

    Stopped by because all the pastries looked so pretty. We ordered the avocado toast and ham/cheese toast with an egg. Both were so pretty, very well presented and the food tasted very fresh. Definitely on the pricier side, but the space and presentation is very upscale, great spot to bring friends/family. Parking: street parking, definitely will be difficult to snag a spot since it's in downtown.

One visit was earlier in the morning, and the place was packed. The line was nearly out the door. The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature. They serve it right with sparkling water on the side. Absolutely perfect! Out of all of the coffee spots in Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee is worth the visit for sure!

I wish they had more locations outside of Seattle, this place is truly soooo good.

    When considering value, I want to say 4 stars but I think it's justified to be 4.5 and round up. I…read morereally paid around $25 for two drinks, but they were tasty so I'm bouncing back and forth here. Most people have claimed this is the best matcha spot and it's easily up there among the top. Visited on a Friday morning just before rush hour. Lots of people were already seated working and a ton started lining up after us. Honestly surprised the wait hasn't died down more. Not sure what the cup sizes are, but there is a small and large. I'd guess small around 12oz and large around 16oz, but unsure because they like to use the shorter, stubbier cups. Price is steep. Oat milk still costs extra and is not priced in. Sweetness can't be lowered. Most matcha drinks have set sizes and no flexibility. Those are some of the main downsides. Beyond that, everything such as ambiance, coziness, third space vibes, and quality are upsides. Banana Pudding Matcha Latte - this drink is so good. Matcha super smooth, complementing the banana pudding with a soft texture. Matcha is a bit on the sweeter side and cannot be unsweetened, but caters to the general majority. Banana flavor elevates that sugar a bit more but not overly so. Definitely more of a dessert but also a hefty $11 price point. Strawberry Matcha Latte - while the matcha is again smooth, whisked well, and umami, the strawberry jam is nothing special. I personally see strawberry matcha as the older, safe choice for those who disliked the bitter or grassy tones of matcha. Similar idea here, which I think detracts from the quality of the matcha here. Would skip this for any of the other drinks.
