Wow, this place really fell short of my expectations. I drove from Seattle, and arrived around…read more8:45am, less than 2 hours after they open, hoping to snag one of their holiday croissants, but they ran out of both flavours already. It may seem like a good problem to have, but running out of the seasonal items during the high season, less than 2 hours after opening, feels to me like this place is lacking the ability to project demand. Seating was full and so loud. Both staff members gave the impression of "I'm too busy to attend to the customers right now." And sadly, the Chocolate Hazelnut croissant tastes like any other pastries from a neighborhood shop. Nothing screams French to me. Was hoping to find another good French patisserie like French Guys in Seattle, but this is not it, unfortunately. We won't be back.

Last time they gave us our pastries when we ordered but by the time they finished our drinks we were done eating the pastries. This time we said we wanted our pastries once we received our drinks. We ordered at 8:10, didn't get our food & drinks delivered until 8:45. My eggs Benedict was delivered cold! There was only 1 customer inside when we arrived so I'm still unsure as to why the wait time for drinks is over 30 minutes.

We had hot Matcha Latte and the CATE breakfast sandwich…read more The CATE breakfast sandwich was only ok with very little flavor. The Matcha Latte had insufficient matcha flavor and was only lukewarm. For the breakfast sandwich and latte, I would give this place 1-2 stars. However, the atmosphere was good/comfortable for us to hang and chat with our friends. Due to the location and atmosphere, will give this place one more try.

We visited Shawn's Bakery on Mercer Island for a Sunday lunch. It's a cute little spot, but be…read moreaware that there are only a few outdoor seats. The bakery was quite busy, with a steady stream of customers. The selection was a bit limited when we arrived, possibly because it was late on a Sunday. We ordered a turkey panini and a coffee. The panini was perfectly toasted with nicely melted cheese, though I wished it had more fillings. I also found the coffee to be on the bitter side. We want to come back to try their challah and pretzel rolls next time!

I ordered the fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto panini and it was so yummy! Very creamy and a decent price compared to seattle/bellevue prices! I also got the mini cheesecake.

Their menu keeps things simple but well executed, featuring coffee, matcha, and a selection of pastries, with drink sizes ranging from 8 oz to 24 oz depending on what you're in the mood for. I ordered the Matcha Purple Haze, which stood out with its smooth, well balanced flavor definitely something I'd come back for. I also tried the Coffeeholic Dream, and it was a hit rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the overall presentation of the shop really adds to the experience. Between the quality drinks, clean aesthetic, and great service, Coffeeholic checks all the boxes for a solid coffee spot.

I've been staying walking distance from here and have now come here three different times…read more I'm a huge fan of Earl Grey Matcha so I decided to try their Tokyo fog. which is iced Earl Grey tea with Matcha cloud foam. I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

The sausage has interesting texture and blends in with the quinoa.

The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

I wish I lived in Seattle so that I could come back and try their other tea drinks as they all look delicious and it made me so happy that they have Boba and toppings . The inside is very mid-century modern and beautiful. Lots of spaces to work from and outlets. They also have a little mini market where they sell Matcha among other things. I loved everything about my experience there and would absolutely go back. The employees were also so sweet.

We came on a quiet weekday morning. The coffee shop also operates as a record store, which is upstairs. There's seating on the first floor and outdoors as well. The cafe has a hipster vibe with the artwork and ambiance. We found the service to be curt and not too welcoming, but the drinks were made quickly! We had The Ivy. It's made of cashew and oat milk. It was our first time having cashew milk and the drink was nutty! It was soothing, warm, and cinnamony. Recommend this. Empire Roasters and Records offers a unique space for coffee and music lovers.
