    This cute coffee shop is tucked away on a quiet street in Queen Anne, with plenty of street parking nearby. The space is bright and open, calm --great for relaxed conversations. I ordered a chai spice latte and a quiche. Both were solid but fairly standard. I wish they would use mugs rather than single use paper cups for dine in. Service was great! The staff were friendly and attentive, and my food was brought directly to my table after I sat down. Would definitely return!

    Entrance. No tricks here, plentiful treats! (10/31/25)

    I meandered through my former Seattle neighborhood atop Queen Anne, to enjoy the tail end of autumn foliage. The former Top Pot location at 4th Ave W & W Galer St has opened yesterday as Mon Chou (10/31/25). Currently, there are French pastries and desserts with beverages available. They are open at 7am until 2pm, or until baked goods are sold out. These are baked fresh daily in Madison Park. Eventually, they will be able to do onsite small batch baking as the space evolves behind the front counter. Plentiful indoor seating: community table, banquette seating, and limited outdoor two top sidewalk tables. Bright, airy interior with lots of natural light. Other deets: WiFi available, limited outlets. Coffee beans are from Fulcrum. Street parking & on Metro bus 2 route. Caffe Vita is down the street (healthy competition). Walking distance from Kerry Park & W Highland and main throughfare, Queen Anne Ave N. Compostable plates & cups at the moment. With the plethora of coffee/pastry shops & cafes in Seattle, what did I try? *16oz mocha ($7.40) *Pain au Chocolat ($5.99) *Savory Quiche ($9.29) With tax & tip, nearly $27! I'll call it Seattle priced for today's economy. Mocha was okay, just did not hold its temp, especially since I sat right by the front window. It was nice to be asked my milk preference though. Pain au chocolat had soft lamination and two chocolate batons. Sorry no cross section photo...did not want to brutalize the pastry with a compostable knife. Savory quiche was a bit unwieldy despite being provided an actual fork. It is shallow in height, eggy of course with tiny cubes of ham. I was onsite for nearly 90 minutes. It was a plus to see the counter staff be very welcoming and well informed. It was just me, several takeouts, and curious neighborhood inquiries initially. But as time went on, more folks chose to remain onsite to dine, have convos, and to read. Not a laptop in sight. Solid 4 to 4.5 stars, rounded to a 5. Pleasant corner cafe with French flair and quality!

    Food and drinks very good. Service very slow. They need more staff. If they can speed up service it would be 4 star.

    I love love love this place! My favorite place for exquisite pastries of all time! Anytime that…read moreI'm in Seattle this is a MUST stop for me. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. 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 got the twice baked chocolate croissant for 7.25! Might seem pricey but the pastry was genuinely…read moreso big that I think the price was actually a good deal. The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    Came around 1-2pm on a weekend and they still had a full pastry case! I always love seeing that…read morelater in the day since some other cafes are getting empty around that time. They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

    I visited this spot around 11:40 AM on a Friday, and it wasn't too crowded. The space is casual…read morewith limited seating, but it felt comfortable enough to enjoy a quick bite. I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

    my favorite croissant in town! the layers are insane and flavor and outter crisp is to die for…read more love their whole loaves as well. got their double chocolate cookie last time and warmed it up and it was amazing. was a bit disappointed last i came they weren't serving most of their drinks. but luckily theres a lot of places in the area for that. super cute inside, outside seating is very nice and quiet and cute. no wifi though so more of a hangout spot.

    I had a few different things from here - all part of their baked goods…read more First, the seasonal focaccia - which this time was the brie and fruit variety. This was interesting. It didn't really have the crispy outside that you really look for in focaccia, as it felt more soft than crunchy. The inside was solid enough though, easily tearable and relatively soft and fluffy. Didn't taste much of the fruit and brie here. Second, the cheddar lye roll wasn't very good. There's something about it that just doesn't work - I think it's the way the cheddar is baked too much into the roll. I like cheddar, but it just tasted weird in this instance. The lye roll also felt too hard. What I liked the best, though, was the savory croissant. Looking at this, you wouldn't be able to tell that its a croissant at all. It's square shaped, and contains filling in the middle like a boat. This had ricotta, snap peas, and chili in the middle. The pastry layers here were very good - being quite flaky and crunchy. The inside also had a good balance of very mild spice and slightly cheesy and sweet flavors. In total, what I had came out to around 15 bucks, which is fine because you do end up with a lot - although no great deals are found here either. Overall, there's some pretty good baked goods, but nothing to write home about. 7.25/10

    My boyfriend and I were super excited to try a new place for breakfast and loved the variety of…read morepastries available at this bakery, especially since a lot of nearby cafes don't have a lot of great food options. I ordered a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and loved how perfectly the chocolate was incorporated into my drink! It tasted sweet and the coffee added the robust flavour I love in my mochas My boyfriend had never tried a Moroccan Fog before and he loved how sweet it was without him having to add sugar. He especially loved that it had just the right amount of mint flavoring without being toothpaste For breakfast, I ordered their fruit danish! I love that they had different options of fruit to pick from and I chose blueberry! The pastry was perfectly flaky and I loved how fresh the blueberry tasted. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate croissant because he was excited at the idea of the chocolate being piped through the croissant and also drizzled over the top, but it turns out the dark brown parts on top are just design and not more chocolate. Still, he was pleased with the amount of chocolate in the croissant and the bite I had was heavenly. The champagne cake caught my eye as I was ordering and I just had to try a bite, it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved how light the cake was and the layers of flavour through the whole dessert! I love how bright and airy the cafe is! My boyfriend and I were easily able to find seating by the windows and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the space needle and people watching as we shared breakfast. The staff here was also patient and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back and try more of their pastries!!

    I'm here for coffee. I did not try any pastry as I was having lunch much later…read more Coffee was good. For a single barista who also did all food orders, she was quick. Coffee is good but not a wow. Food like the croissants seems to be not fresh. They did not have the look of freshly baked considering it was around 9am. Not sure but did not have the glow or lopk when I see a pastry. Nice place though. Lots of tables and space. They were busy.
