They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.

Oh My Gosh!…read moreEverything here is soooo good. We have had the potato pie, the croissant cinnamon roll, the lemon curd blueberry danish, the classic vanilla coffee cake and the pest cheese bread. Money well spent. Can't wait til they open again on Thursday, cuz I still need to try the maple croissant dough donut.

I like they're cherry pastry. But why are portions so thick and large?…read moreThis last time the pastry was so dense and not light and fluffy like before. Left so much to be desired. I look for fresh croissants for my hubby but I never see any. I got this pizza looking savoury pastry thing it was huge and so dense it had no flavor and it took 3 of us to finish it. Something was lacking and my son and husband said it was missing the meat. Like some sort of protein. Did you guys switch bakers or something or just stop taking pride in your pastries? I'm from the East Coast so I'm more of a freshly made everything bagel with cream cheese type of gal. Oh yeah folks go here with deep pockets.

The seasonal menu always has great tasty stuff. The coffee is high-quality. What else can you ask for? The outdoor area is a great place to relax for a bit, but can get busy during the summer and is too cold in the winter when it's more of a grab and go for me on the way to work, etc. Hotwire is great from the friendly staff to the great beverages and local pastries. Highly recommend!

There is a unisex bathroom that requires a key; the bathroom is not super tidy but it's acceptable. Same for the tables - we had to wipe ours off ourselves yet there is surely a heavy turnaround and only two folks at the counter. Seating is limited inside, and there is more outside. I liked the wall decorations, including cycling outfits indicating that Hotwire sponsors cycling, and emphasis on PRIDE. Had a delicious scone and tasty Italian soda. Staff was pleasant.

Now, Easy Street Records and cafe still has the old style charm of open booth seating with every bit of sitting space used. There's always music playing and the staff has the quirkiness you would expect as they're to hold on to an old record shop that remains a popular place in the area. I am typically on the go in the morning, so I call ahead to get the Dolly Parton. The cafe is always accurate about the prep time of the food and the wait is minimal for pickup. The staff greets you with a smile that is believable and works to keep the tradition of the place going. The Dolly Parton is two pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, and eggs any style. The pancakes are fully, but slightly spongy. The works with the syrup. I always get the scrambles eggs and typically don't get the bacon. The eggs could be cooked with a twist of salt and pepper. I hope Easy Street Records and cafe remain in West Seattle as part of the history and tradition of an old style cafe the rocks with music.

We stopped by Panterelli after the West Seattle Sunday Farmers Market, wandering in after hearing…read moreabout the best Choux pastries in Seattle. There weren't any other customers inside and we were greeted with an empty display case in the front. While barren, the owner, a gruff* French gentlemen, confirmed that he still had choux pastry left with a choice of either vanilla, coconut, pistachio, or hazelnut. We decided to go with the pistachio, which he assembled fresh for us, first by piping pistachio cream inside the choux shell, then dipping in melted chocolate and sprinkling pistachio on top. Pistachio Choux ($6) - The choux is excellent, baked until deliciously crisp on the exterior while the inside remains soft, eggy, and tender. Since it's fresh filled and we ate it right afterwards, the cream never migrated to saturate the crust - I suspect people with issues with mushiness probably let the cream puff sit too long before consuming. The cream, which is piped to the brim, pushes out against the delicate shell, causing each bite to almost squirt out a bit of the luscious, silky whipped custard. The cream coats the lips and mouth with a layer of fat. It's not too sweet and has a light nutty pistachio flavor. The melted chocolate the top is dipped into glues on all of the pistachio dip. The chocolate is slightly bitter, yet sweet, so it helps cut through some of the rich silkiness of the cream. The pistachios on top act like a crumble, perhaps pulverized and melded with butter to create a very rich yet pistachio forward mix. It's strongly flavored, and the chocolate creates such a strong cement that none of the nuts detach while eating. (5/5) Panterelli was a huge surprise as it wasn't even on our radar until we walked past the shop randomly while exploring the Farmers Market. It's a definite revisit in the future! *The owner isn't nearly as welcoming as a typical American small business owner, but is certainly friendly and eager to chat. I also love his attitude - looks aren't that important; it's the taste the reigns supreme!

Love a coffee shop that has pour overs. Had the Rwanda Mbilima with notes of tea, red berry, and honeysuckle. It was one of the best cups of coffee I have had in awhile and I drink a pour over every morning that I make usually double the strength that coffee places will use. The barista making the coffee knew his stuff and it was nice to see someone enjoying their craft.

I love that they serve soups, meeples doesn't serve soup so that's specifically how I found this place. I always have a place to sit and the environment is relaxing.

The rhubarb was a bit tart for me though, so I probably won't get it again if I ever go back. Key Lime was average. Their chicken pot pie was good. Unfortunately, the service was a bit odd, which seems to be a recurring theme in other reviews. While checking out, I asked why there was an extra $2 charge on the chicken pot pie. The cashier told me it was because the strawberry rhubarb pie had been warmed in their oven and that baked pies incur an additional $2 charge. The explanation didn't make much sense, but it was my first visit, so I assumed there was some policy I didn't understand. When I got home and looked at the menu, I realized the $2 charge had actually been applied to the chicken pot pie. From what I can tell, they charge an extra fee if they bake one of the refrigerated pot pies for you. Mine was frozen, came with at-home baking instructions, and was never baked in-store. I sent an email to the address listed on the receipt to let them know they might be charging customers incorrectly, but never received a response. The food was good, but the whole situation was strange.

I saw that they added more drinks on menu like boba. I was tempted but stick with hot chocolate, it was okay, nothing special. I tired salted caramel which was okay.

As long as my friend still enjoy stopping by Top Pot when he visits, we will be back. We parked on the street.
