This spot was kind of hard to find at first, but I'm so glad that I did. Loved the Vermont crumpet and getting to watch them make fresh treats!
Aight first time trying crumpets and.. I gotta say.. the sweet ones are pretty fire yalllll Had no idea what I was getting myself into but I spent $35 on 4 of these bad boys and idk. The maple butter + strawberry preserve ones js about made it worth it (I personally didn't care for the savory ones but to each their own) Would I go back? I mean if I was in town and someone wanted to stop by sure. Idk if I could justify the price for the size but..
First time having crumpets and the two items we ordered: Rob's Favorite & The Vermont were both winners which are also popular at this spot. The store is super small so if you're there with a big group, I recommend one person going in to order for everyone. Stop by here if you're in Pike Place.
I didn't realize how popular this place was. Upon going in the staff was very rude, no hello just told me to "wait over there." I should have left at that point. I ordered 1 crumpet. The bottom was so hard it was like eating a cracker. The persevere had absolutely no sugar in it. These were nothing like the ones I have had in the UK or yet even at other restaurants.
The raspberry preserves were very tart and they put a healthy amount on the crumpet. The ricotta, walnut & honey crumpet was so well balanced in both flavor and texture. The crumpet itself is spongy, airy with a nice crispy bottom. Giving 3 stars because it was good, but not great & the price in my opinion is far too high for the product you're receiving
Always fresh and delicious food here - the people are friendly and efficient too - I'm so thankful they've kept the store going all these years - it brings a smile to my face :-) I always get a six pack to take home too.
The Crumpet Shop is often found on lists of must-visit places in Pike Place Market. I made sure to stop in and give something a try from The Crumpet Shop while I was visiting! I think the Crumpet Shop excels at being one of the cutest and most affordable themed eateries in Pike Place. They have lots of English classics, including crumpets and tea. They also have some more unique items on the menu, such as the Seattle Crumpet. I gave it a try and enjoyed the soft crumpet with the tender scrambled egg and savory ham. Very tasty and a great little snack. They also sell their crumpets to-go, though I am sure the fresh ones are still better. They also sell their famous lemon curd, which I did not try, but was told it is very popular. There are a few small tables inside, but the space is fairly small. Worth a try, but there is so much to try at Pike Place, I recommend sticking to something small from the Crumpet Shop.
Came by while visiting Seattle and Pike's Place for a quick breakfast. Firstly; decor is so adorable and quaint!! There's limited indoor seating so I would recommend this shop as more of a to-go style bites. Service was quick and I love their cat tea mascot! Irish breakfast 5/5, solid black tea with beautiful spice w unlimited refills, I stayed for a bit to finish this and threw away the cup but I do wonder if you're able to leave and come back to refill Lemon crumpet 4/5, chose this one upon cashier recommendation as a popular choice here, good but definitely pricy for the size
My son loves crumpets, and we usually buy them from Trader Joe's, so getting to try fresh crumpets at The Crumpet Shop was a real treat! We stopped by for breakfast while exploring the area, and its location is perfect--just a short walk from Pike Place Market, the Gum Wall, and the Seattle Aquarium. The crumpets were absolutely delicious: soft, fluffy, and light in the center with a slightly crisp and airy exterior. You can really taste the difference when they're made fresh. We ordered the egg, cheese, and ham crumpet, a buttered crumpet, a honeyed crumpet, and The Walrus, which is topped with ricotta, honey, and walnuts. Everything was fantastic, but The Walrus was especially memorable with the creamy ricotta, sweet honey, and crunchy walnuts creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The shop itself is small and cozy, with a few indoor seats as well as outdoor seating. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the wonderful aroma of freshly made crumpets, making it hard not to order one of everything. If you're visiting Seattle or exploring Pike Place Market, this is a must-stop breakfast spot. Fresh crumpets are a rare treat, and The Crumpet Shop does them exceptionally well!
We stopped in for a quick bite and had the most refreshing afternoon snack! I ordered an iced tea and lemon curd crumpet. The curd was the perfect lip smacking flavor and the crumpet had the perfect crunch. The service was kind and quick. There's even unlimited refills on the iced tea! Well absolutely be back! I highly recommend this fun spot for a quick bite to beat the heat.
I took my parents here because I enjoyed my last visit so much and felt they needed to experience it! To drink, I had an iced honey lavender latte. The flavors were balanced, it wasn't too sweet, and so creamy and refreshing. My mom had The Crumpet Shop tea blend and my dad had a hot coffee. Both were great! To eat, I had their special sweet crumpet, the blueberry pie crumpet. The blueberry compote had delightful texture and was sweet but tart. The cream complemented the blueberry and crumpet nicely. My mom had the lemon & ricotta crumpet and my dad ate the maple butter crumpet. Those crumpets were also tasty! We sat outside as we were visiting with our dog. They have a few tables out front that served as a nice place to sit and enjoy our beverages and crumpets. Everything was served promptly and the staff was friendly. Definitely check out The Crumpet Shop!
First time visiting Seattle and first time having a crumpet and wow I have been missing out on how delicious crumpets are. This cute little shop has 2 entrances and a few tables to eat at. If you get certain drinks IE ice tea you get free refills while you're in the shop. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The crumpet was a nice texture with a wonderful maple honey flavor. My only regret is not having time to come back to try more items as I wasn't very hungry when we visited. This will be a must stop at when in town.
I've lived in WA State since Sept 1973 and walked past the OG Crumpet Shop at Pike Place Market a gazillion times. This business has been established since 1976. I've actually stopped in their Edmonds location first, lol. Nevertheless, it has been in existence for fifty years! For some reason on this chilly Monday (2/16/26), I decided to stop in since I noticed there was not a line and some onsite seating available. I ordered a fresh griddled crumpet that was buttered and topped with strawberry preserves. After a brief wait, I received my order. Halved and placed on a saucer. Straightforward, but really hit the spot. Flavorful where the butter had melted in the tiny holes or flutes, plus the added preserves was just right and not cloying. This was pillowy in comparison to an English muffin. The menu features quite a variety of sweet and savory, traditional and inventive crumpets, plus a nice selection of hot tea to accompany one's crumpet. Pleasant detour while visiting Pike Place Market!
This was a cute shop and I liked the crumpet. I had the egg, cheese, and ham. The ingredients were well balanced. I don't mean this as a knock against the shop -- it's worth a visit -- but the crumpet reminded me of the one I had from Trader Joe's many years ago (my only other experience with crumpets, TBH). The shop layout is a bit awkward. The large menu is on one side of the shop, so many people stand there looking at it, but then they want you to order on the other side of the shop. Service was fine, a bit slow. read more
Cute little crumpet shop in a touristy area of downtown Seattle. The food itself was decent - not mindblowing, but not bad. The meat/egg crumpet was definitely not my speed, but the lemon curd one was very good. Overall solid spot! read more

Before moving to Seattle I vacationed here and fell in love. One place I checked pit was the crumpet shop. A shop dedicated to fresh off the griddle crumpets, yes! The simple crumpet with butter and honey is impeccable, but since then I've had the pesto and tomatoes crumpet and the lemon curd with ricotta. None have disappointed! One thing to not is even while they face 1st street they close down at 4pm, which is a bummer. A good way to end your time at Pike Place Mkt is to get a crumpet then meander over to Pike Place Chowder for an award winning cup or bowl. Their line is always so long but catching right before they close you never have a line. Remember a crumpet at closing and a seafood chowder for a bowl of take out. read more

Every time I come to Seattle, I must make the pilgrimage to The Crumpet Shop. It's always busy, but the smell of crumpets and tea warms my English heart. The Crumpet Shop blend of tea is amazing and my favorite blend. The lemon curd crumpet was wonderful and I wish I'd had time to stay for another and a refill or twenty. I did get some to go, but they don't offer bags and their totes were $35 so that is my only complaint. I look forward to my next trip! read more

Where do I start!!! This is my second time coming to the crumpet shop(my trip was only 4 days long). I never had a crumpet before but I'm so lucky this is my first experience. I will say I'll definitely be missing this place while's I'm home definitely super comforting and chill. And the service is good and quick! I ordered a ICED Chai latte with their house made cinnamon syrup SUPER GOOD my fiancé ordered the lemonade and it was very refreshing and yummy. Both times I got the Nutella crumpet and the ricotta and lemon crumpet and again super yummy. This place is simple yet excellent I def recommend you try it at least once read more

I've been here plenty of times! Such a great place in Seattle / Pike Place Market! The lines can be long, but it goes by fast! Limited seating. It's not the cheapest, but it's a good snack to eat while browsing the market and snacking more! I enjoy getting the ricotta, pesto, and tomato and rob's favorite! read more
Can't say enough code things about this spot, stopped by a few times during our trip in 2023 and loved it, they were delicious crumpets. A little crammed inside but it's definitely great spot to stop by and grab a quick breakfast crumpet before doing your thing. I loved the Storyville coffee and pair it with the crumpets from this spot. We tried both the sweet and the savory read more

Have you ever had a crumpet?? I hadn't. And boy was I missing out. On a family outing, my daughter came out with a Maple Butter Crumpet and declared it the best thing ever!! So naturally I had to try it. We opted for 2 crumpets, the Maple Butter and Smoked Salmon with Cucumber. They are meant to be eaten with your hands. Can do!! The Maple Butter was heavenly. The crumpet is soft with a bit of a crispy bottom. Delightful really. The smoked salmon was flavorful, but not overly, and had crisp cucumber on top. How have I never been there. Such a wonderful surprise!! read more

I decided to go with The Walrus Crumpet. The crumpet was light and fluffy. The ricotta, honey and walnuts complimented each other wonderfully. The crumpet was a little on the small side but the generous helping of honey made up for it. The service and staff were great and it was nice to watch the employees making the crumpets fresh. read more
This was our first time trying a crumpet, so we wanted to order a variety of different kinds. We decided on two sweet and two savory options. We were pleasantly surprised by the textures and flavors, and it was a great experience. The interior is cozy and small so make sure to find seating. Overall, we had a pleasant afternoon with the family here! read more
After years of wondering what exactly a crumpet is, I finally got my answer of all places in Seattle. The Crumpet Shop is well known and has a street facing entrance on first ave, so no hilly climb or descent to eat here. We actually stopped in here twice during our stay for breakfast because it was so quick and convenient. I got the smoked salmon cream cheese topped with fresh cucumbers and it was light yet filling at the same time. Also there is endless refills on tea and coffee. My bf got himself a bowl of groats which he enjoyed- he did say it was a bit more sweet than he anticipated so next time he got it he asked to leave out the brown sugar. Definitely would recommend people stop by here if they are near Pike Place. A lot of the other establishments get the shine, but this place is just as deserving. read more
Have never had a crumpet before so I like the concept of this place a lot. I got the ricotta lemon curd one and it was good but overpowered the crumpet. The crumpet was warm too which I did really like. I think I should have got a simple one with butter so I could rlly taste the crumpet. It was very small and almost 9$. Definitely overpriced and not really worth it. I am glad I tried it once though. read more

3.5/5 stars I got the egg, cheese, and tomato crumpet. It was overall enjoyable because I love anything with eggs and cheese! The crumpet itself didn't have much flavor, so maybe a sauce would have been good. It was kind of like a thicker English muffin. It was fun to try, but not sure I would get it again. read more

This shop was high on our list to try and overall it did not disappoint. We tried several different savory and sweet options and all were delicious! My only complaint is the price point being a little high. The shop is small so we arrived close to 8am and were able to grab seating for six right at the front. I am glad we didn't arrive later as business picked up as we were leaving. Servers were quick with the orders and beverage orders. I ordered a matcha latte and was happily satisfied. Others in my party loved the house tea. read more
To describe a crumpet, think of it as a soft toasted English muffin. You can top it any way you like, sweet jams or savory. I really enjoy cream cheese on any kind of carb so I opted for the salmon cream cheese. They had a few extra toppings as part of their spring menu special so I opted to have it topped with capers, everything but the bagel seasoning and pickled onions. Pretty tasty combo! We came around 3pm, so no line and plenty of seating. It's a small place, just a few small tables and a bar with a few bar stools. You can get tea or coffee with your crumpet. If you feel compelled to bring some home for your friends you can buy a bag of crumpets and bring them home. I'm sure they'll taste good once they're heated up. I thought $8.75 was steep for my crumpet but it wasn't a trip to Pike Place Market without trying it. read more
This little spot is a must to check out while in the area. We had the opportunity to try a real life crumpet! I had a crumpet with pesto and cheese.... soooo amazing! We were the first people in the building that morning so I have no complaints about service. Staff were friendly and helpful in explaining what was on the menu and providing recommendations. I'll most definitely be back for breakfast next time I'm in town. Wish I had gotten a picture of my food but I was so enthralled with the cool mural on the back wall. read more

Super cute and unique spot! You could see them making the crumpets, and that freshness definitely pays off. They do have nuts on the menu but were able to change gloves and wipe down the surface for my fiance who has nut allergies. We tried a buttered crumpet and a Seattle crumpet. Both were great--truly a perfect spot for a light breakfast in the area, and a bit different from your usual American fare! read more
