I go here for the Ambiance. I go here to study as a student. Very calming place, quiet side. Place outside is nice. Service is nice, people are nice here. I've tried their crepes and chicken quesadillas. I'd say the food is average. Their drinks are good! I get their mocha frappe. read more

I had a delicious latte with a friend there today. The staff was very friendly and quick.

This coffee shop is a cute hidden gem. The coffee is great, I got a cappuccino and a cold brew. The staff is really nice and friendly. It's also the perfect place to do work. I had a work from home day and spent my whole day there tucked away in a booth. There's plenty of seating and even an upstairs that takes even more away from any noise. The noise level is very low and the playlist is awesome. I also got a breakfast crepe that was very filling. It had a great amount of contents and wasn't simply just egg. read more

Prices at gourmet hand crafted levels, products are not. Grocery store frozen bagel toasted? Had to wait over 20 min for a chai latte? Better off at many other places for quality and service. read more

Overpriced drinks and food, very mid tier. I have ordered a smoothie from them at least a handful of times and even when I order the same one, it tastes different depending on who's making it (typing this as I drink a very unpleasant smoothie that I had to mix in my own extra ingredients at home to make it taste better) the atmosphere is cute though if you need work done but i'd rather go to Macrina down the road. read more

I love cafe culture and thought this place looked cool so I gave it a chance.The service was very unfriendly as if the customers were just a bother as a bunch of giggly girls gossiped loudly.I found a piece of plastic in my crepe and coffee was clearly made by someone that didn't get trained.I will never go back.Looks can be very deceiving. read more

Crepe was really great. My husband's bagel was small. Service was good. Small fun atmosphere.

Amazing Red Bull Italian soda and a comfortable, cozy vibe inside the cafe. A great place to spend a few hours reading.

Where do I begin? Service: Terrible service. One star for standing there. This crew is obviously poorly trained and completely unsupervised. Order: Terrible drink. I ordered a Boba Milk Tea. The drink itself is bad. The cover was wrinkled and poorly sealed. One star for the tapioca. It was tasty. Cleanliness: Every surface I touched was sticky. Bathroom: Horror show. The Dyson hand dryer has stalactites of grime growing down from the bottom of it and pools of grime on the floor under it. The sink hadn't been cleaned in several days, maybe a week. The floor around the toilet...[shudder] What the hell is going on here? read more

Jewel box cafe is a super cute option for anyone looking for something with a unique element from other cafes. They have specialty crepes here and many drinks to choose from. You order at the front and I got a chai and a veggie crepe. The crepe itself was super filling and have great quality veggies. I do wish that all of the vegetables were more spread out evenly and they put pepper on the top and it was a bit too much for me. The chai was warm and comforting and I really enjoyed. The workers were also nice and I spent a couple hours in there studying and no one complained. I am excited to come back for their paninis! read more

Hidden "Jewel" in Seattle. Hard to find. But, keep looking. Crepes are amazing. Smoothie's are pure. The staff is super cool, friendly and genuine. Sit and play boardgames as you sip your latte. The game room is hilariously fun. Perfect light date spot. We will be back!! read more

A friend and I meet at Jewel Box once a month unless either one of us cannot make it. We usually order the crepes, savory or sweet depending on our mood. Sometimes with coffee, sometimes just with water. Love the decor, the old wood, and the randomness of some of the tables. There is always parking at Thornton Place, which makes it easier to meet up without circling the block looking for somewhere to park. There's often rotating artwork on the walls and the staff is always pleasant and helpful read more

Lovely atmosphere, great staff, delicious drinks. 16$ Tuna melt was 2$ worth of ingredients, and a bit dry otherwise I'd give the place a decent rating! read more

Drinks - the drink selection was good and I really liked the blended chai boba I got. My partner got the normal milk tea and liked it as well. The boba was well done here - not too squishy or chewy. The chai was really tasty! Service - very speedy and efficient! When I asked for a recommendation of boba or chai they recommended a blended chai with boba. That was perfect! Ambiance - it's kind of a cute and interesting little spot. Not a ton of seating but it has a fire place, books, and a few board games you can take over to the booths and tables. read more

The worst bagel ever. Worse than getting one at a 7/11. Expensive at that at $5 and the wine was cheap red at $10. Sappy music playing as well. Never to return. read more

Friendly but expensive. Eight dollars for an iced breve mocha. The location is great though; I'm using it as a drop off/pick up spot since it's easy to find. read more

Food was overall pretty good and the service is pretty fast as well so if you're really hungry, its a good short wait. Their panini comes with a side of your choice of pasta salad, garden salad, or chips which I think is pretty nice. The portion size for the sandwich are pretty big and good for two meals unless you are super hungry. I didn't try the crepes but I was told it was really good especially the savory ones!! read more

I love the ambiance of this place. The location is great, right by Northgate and movie theaters. Nice outside patio, with heated fireplace. The inside is cozy decorated, with an inside fireplace and secluded rooms. I particularly appreciate the multi cultural atmosphere, with students from a variety of cultures studying here. Just showing up here is an experience. The staff is young and inexperienced. The food and drinks are not standardized. You can get an excellent drink and crepes on one experience. While the next will leave you disappointed. The lovely surroundings and comfortable setting is the key to me coming here. The crepes are not bad. The smoothies are not bad. The food and service are a second to coming here. I come here to appreciate the unique atmosphere of this place. I always feel welcomed here, regardless of what I order. read more

Beautiful space. Fairly good decaf Americano. Very tasty mixed berries crepe. We have lots of coffee spots on Capitol Hill but none IMO as nice as Jewell Box. read more

Don't waste your money on the breakfast muffins. Totally overpriced and disappointing. Go to Valhalla. Way fkn better. Way worth it. Same price. read more

Fantastic food!! Their crepes are the best!! Good service and a great place to just enjoy your time. read more

The Jewel Box is a cozy cafe that has great atmosphere. It feels like you are tucked away in an old library. The service was fine, and my drink was made quickly. Perhaps toooo quickly. I'm subtracting 4 stars from my review for the huge bug I found in my drink. It's unfortunate that I noticed it after nearly guzzling down the entire drink. If adding a little protein into your morning coffee is your kind of thing, I highly recommend this place. Otherwise, stay clear! 1 Star. That is my review. read more

I wish I could update my review with more stars, but the staff makes it hard. Their food/drinks are delicious and I've ordered via delivery a few times the past few years. Was out and about doing errands and ordered some drinks to pick up and wasn't even acknowledged. I said "oh, I think these are mine" and the woman standing directly across the counter glanced up and said nothing and looked away again. I don't know if it's because I didn't tip in app (I never do when I pick up, I'd rather leave cash. Or maybe she was having a bad day, but not one person behind the counter made an ounce of effort to be welcoming. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Absolutely horrible third experience in a row, I only went back because I was close. The worst possible customer service every time I go. They didn't even acknowledge me when I was standing at the counter. This has happened multiple times and their and the coffee isn't great either. I walked out and went to cafe Javasti which never disappoints! Don't waste your time here! read more

It's fine. I guess it's better than getting a cup of coffee at a ball game or something. The service is horrendous. I've been given lukewarm coffee ten minutes after placing my order and then waiting nearly as long for them to remake it. This place is expensive, too. Get a cup on the way to the movies. Don't frustrate yourself to get extremely mid coffee drinks. read more

I went in for a specific drink that I wanted. I ordered a blue raspberry Italian soda redbull. Just got the Italian soda with no redbull. Was disappointed cause I needed the caffeine. Just was a waste of my money and time. read more

Only 4 stars because they aren't open for indoor seating yet or apparently outdoor seating as I was asked to not sit at the tables outside ‍. Not sure why as it was raining and there wasn't a person in sight? I could easily manage 6 ft of distance outdoors so why was I asked to move as a paying patron? Miss the inside space. Good coffee and they are doing to-go orders read more

I always come to the Jewel Box for dessert after eating at Kizuki next door. The decor is cozy but also kind of drabby. It's just kind of old now without much upgrade. The booth seats are pretty ripped up. I have never had a friendly encounter there with their employees. You always just kind of feel like you're bothering them or putting them at a huge inconvenience. The person who took our order tonight never greeted us or smiled. I was in the middle of ordering my crepe and froyo when she yelled out to whoever was making the crepe our order. It was kind of strange, and she cut me off. Weird. The one saving grace is their crepes. They are delicious. We normally get the strawberry nutella crepe, and it has the perfect amount of nutella. Yum. The crepes are cooked well and have the perfect texture. They strawberry nutella crepe is $8.49 and the strawberry banana is $.50 more. The froyo is good. Standard, but good. They give you a number for you to put on your table so they know who to bring it to. You also have to bus your own table. It's not my first choice, but it's convenient for me to l grab some dessert after dinner. read more

Jewel Box Café is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends or to host a small meeting. The ambiance is fantastic, warm, cozy and comfortable with multiple seating configurations to meet your needs. There is a back/side room that can be closed off and reserved; I have used that to host small meetings and it accommodated 8-10 of us fairly well. The couches by the bookshelves are comfortable and the booths are roomy. There is outdoor seating that should most definitely be taken advantage of in the warmer months. It can get a bit noisy on the weekend afternoons, but that's to be expected in a smaller space. The food is delicious. The crepe are tasty and hit the spot every time. The coffee/espresso options never disappoint and I am a huge fan of the Vampire tea. read more

First off super weird environment going into the store. No one greets you going inside. I picked up my order without them saying anything to me. I picked up my crepe and ate it at home. There was nothing special or outstanding about it. Honestly weird that it was salty?...The ends where the crepe was folded is super hard. Just not worth the price for a crepe that wasn't that good. read more

The food is good, the service is usually a little slow, but nothing terrible. Ambiance is nice and calm, dimly lit with some cute decor. The only thing is, I ordered the salmon crepe, and there was a huge piece of thick, long plastic in it, almost like the top of those tear-off plastic bags of shredded cheese. Definitely killed the appetite. read more

It's an okay coffee shop. Pretty much everything is average. Or slightly above. Cappuccinos, hot chocolates, cookies, crepes, etc., all are "okay." A huge collection of crepes, and pretty much all are good. You won't be sorry you sat down. But it's by no means an unforgettable memory. The service is very nice and people are pleasant. That's true pretty much everywhere in the city. It's not crowded at all on a late Sunday afternoon. Maybe it gets busier at night. Or on weekend nights. The high tables are not so comfy, everything else is very nice. A bit dark inside, but it adds a vintage character. The music is nice as well. But too loud at his time of the day. Maybe to drown out the noise when it gets busy at night? I come often, when I'm walking around the area. read more

This review is strictly for takeout from Jewel Box Cafe. I went over to my friend's house who kindly ordered takeout from Jewel Box Cafe for the both of us through Door Dash. She ordered for herself a Chicken Bacon Ranch Crepe and a fruit smoothie and I requested a Cobb Salad with a Chocolate Smoothie. When the food arrived we were confused by the order and even questioned if we had someone else's takeout. She did not receive her Chicken Bacon Ranch Crepe, but instead, they gave her a sandwich. And for my drink they gave me a strawberry smoothie instead of a chocolate smoothie. My friend double checked her order and everything we wanted was on there, so not sure why the order was inaccurate. Unfortunately, since takeout took about 40 minutes for delivery, we decided not to re-order. I felt bad for my friend who did not get her entree. I was not happy with the strawberry smoothie, since I am not a fan of strawberry smoothies and is why I ordered a chocolate one! It wasn't as cold as a smoothie should be, and most of the flavor came from the milk instead of the fruit. However, my cobb salad was better. There was ranch on the side for it, and the portion was a good amount. But it's not something I would crave again from here and/or willingly go to Jewel Box Cafe for. Overall, our takeout experience wasn't a pleasant one, since half the order was wrong. My friend didn't get her entree and I didn't get my drink. Not cool. read more

I've got their Nutella strawberry crepe before which is very good I came in during lunch rush (they seemed very harried) and got an incorrect order, I asked for a lemon sugar crepe and got a berry one! I took it to go so I didn't realize the mistake till I was parked at a park three errands away lol. Turned out ok since after looking at the description here on yelp, the lemon sugar is just lemon juice and sugar, (somehow I thought it would be lemon curd). Further, you'll have to ask for a plastic fork if you're on the run, there are no utensils in the stapled to-go bag! I also tried their sunset ice tea, which is tea, orange juice and I think cranberry juice and while that sounded great, it wasn't the drink for me. I'd recommend the Nutella strawberry crepe or their paninis, and ordering ahead for pick up if you're trying to beat the lunch rush! And ask for a fork if you need it! read more
