What a delectable meal after a 4 hour bus ride Came here…read moreafter dropping off our bags at the hotel, since it was just a 5 minute walk away. We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

It wasn't; too busy when we arrived so we had a few minutes to figure out what to get. They do have a case you look at and choose what you want, that's exactly how we ordered. We got a croissant sandwich, a ham & cheese quiche, and a churro cruffin and a few latte drinks. They will warm up the food for you. We dined in, it's basically order at the counter, get a number, find a seat and they will bring you your order. They were quick on the drinks, I really enjoyed their Chai latte, nice spice and tasty! Food was good as well, I believe they get a lot of their baked goods from Freya(another spot in Seattle). Churro Cruffin was a hit, nice peel off layers, nice filling inside and we crushed it! Quiche and Croissant sandwich was quite good too, that was also crushed! Overall, glad we came by, service and staff were fine, prices are on the higher side but the food and drink was good! Nice decor and interior to sit in. I would come back again!

They have all different kinds of cats, and the time went by fast. The crowd size was just right, not too busy. One cat in particular came over and settled in beside me, and she seemed completely at ease. If my building allowed pets, I would have loved to adopt her (though I think she's already been adopted). The staff were kind and welcoming. I'm glad a place like this exists for anyone who wants time with cats but can't have them at home, or for travelers who miss their own cat back home.

Regarding the ambiance, its casual here. You order at the counter and are given a number sign. The food is brought out quickly by the friendly staff. You bus your own dishes here, so tip accordingly. I would def return if I was in the Capitol Hill/Convention Ctr area of Seattle. The food is very good and reasonably priced.

My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

I am not sure how to rate this bakery. I bought two items. The pear tart was excellent. The crust was rich, dense and sweet, and the frangipane filling was perfect, with slices of pear layered on top. The chocolate croissant, on the other hand, was beautiful but almost flavorless. Averaging on high score and one low brings me to 3 stars.

Key Points: - Iconic khachapuri "bread boats"…read more- minor drawback: limited coffee customization options and only forks available The Fam and I stopped by Skalka for some breakfast/brunch before perusing the rest of Seattle during my birthday week. I saw it on a few YouTube food influencer videos and was really impressed by what I saw. The their staple is their Georgian khachapuri. They're the iconic bread "boats" filled with cheese, butter, egg, and whatever comes along the variety you ordered. TBH, I actually thought they looked like little volcanoes, which is something I figured The Little One would enjoy. What we ordered: - Stroganoff: one of the popular items listed on the yelp page. The beef was rich, succulent and comforting, with a creamy, savory filling. The pickles added a bit of bright, tangy contrast to balance the richness. - Adjaruli, the classic version with cheese, butter, and egg. To me, this seemed like the plainest version, but I figured The little One would be more likely eat this because she hates anything that resembles a sauce or toppings. Both dishes were fantastic. The bread boat sort of reminded me of a pizza crust: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and perfect for tearing off and dipping into the cheesy center. The Little one did especially like the crust since she's a big pizza-crust fan. Surprisingly, getting her to eat the cheese and egg was tougher, as she usually likes those. I guess that's just being a kid? Inconsistent fluctuations of opinions and likings? The Mrs. and I happily finished everything she left behind. The restaurant itself is a small, casual spot with self-service kiosks for ordering and open seating. Nothing fancy, but it's efficient. We also appreciated that they had high chairs available, making it easy to visit with a child. We did see other families with kids there too. My only gripes: - once you've submitted your kiosk order, making changes isn't really possible. The staff is so busy going in and out of the kitchen, that you really don't have any opportunity to flag them down. We actually wanted to make one minor change to our order, but by the time I managed to talk to someone about it, she informed me that the order was already being made. - If you order coffee, you need to decide on cream, half-and-half, and sugar ahead of time, seemingly preset amounts. It's entirely prepared in the kitchen, not self serve, and you can't exactly customize to your liking. - Only forks were available. No spoons, no knives. Knives would have been helpful for cutting through the thicker bread crust. Those are very minor complaints, though. The food was excellent, the concept is unique, and the meal was memorable. Won't dock any points off there.

It's bright, yellow and welcoming, and that same playful energy carries through the space and menu. We did some very important mango and matcha research, and the mango series was easily the standout for me. If I'm recommending one drink, it's the mango yuzu green tea with lychee bits. Bright, refreshing, made with real lychee and dangerously drinkable. I would come back for that alone. The matcha itself was okay, but in a city with so many really good matcha options, it didn't stand out quite as much for me. Some of the flavor profiles could use a little more R&D to really bring them together, but the concepts are creative and there's plenty on the menu I'd come back to explore. What made our visit especially memorable was getting to spend some time with the owner, James, who walked us through the story and vision behind Junbi Seattle. You can tell there's genuine thought and enthusiasm behind what they're building, and the hospitality throughout our visit reflected that. The mango series? That's where they got me.

It is a family friendly space, made with so much love by the family who runs it.

I visited Cafe Hagen in Queen Anne on a Wednesday morning to get my coffee fix. It was a fairly…read morequiet lunch rush after 11 am, and there were a couple of people working from their laptops. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the selection of pastries, hot brunch items, and coffee drinks. The coffee tasting menu looked enticing. If I had more time to leisurely work or talk with company here, I would have opted to go this more adventurous route. However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
