    Apple Pie
    Richard C.

    Man, TipTop Cafe totally made our Space Needle trip. We went up mostly for the views (obviously), but ended up staying way longer because the spot is just so nice. The 360-degree panorama is insane. We split the apple pie and it was legitimately one of the best I've had in Seattle. Warm, not too sweet, crust was flaky and buttery, apples had that perfect soft, but, still have some bite thing going on. Paired with the view it was stupid good. Love the whole vibe they've got going, kinda retro-futuristic. Clean lines, fun little spacey touches, but nothing cheesy. Felt modern and chill at the same time. Service was no-nonsense in the best way. Friendly, quick, didn't hover, didn't make us feel rushed even though it's a high-traffic spot. Exactly what you want when you're mostly there to stare out the window and eat pie. If you're heading up the Needle, 100% stop here. The apple pie alone is worth the elevator

    I decided to try one of their tip top pies and went for the wagyu beef BBQ pies. This was a first for me to try, different way of enjoying a meat "pie" The middle of the pie had a large piece of wagyu beef with great flavors surrounded by this BBQ sauce. For a snack, this was very savory and I felt full afterwards. I enjoyed my pie while viewing the city from up top of the space needle. Service was slow during the time I was there, only one cashier was assisting and it would take sometime before she could move on to the next customer. But, otherwise, a quick life-saver for those who get hungry during their adventures here at the space needle.

    Super quick service, and surprisingly quality food. Lots of options, both sweet and savory. Though no GF pie options as far as I could tell. My friend was super impressed by the wagyu beef pie, said it was notably moist, flavorful, and tender. The soft serve is flavored by the outside swirl, and there were a ton of options. Service was quick, friendly, and you can't beat the scenery! Lots of seating nearby along the edge when we stopped by also.

    A small cafe serving drinks and meat/sweet individual pies on top of the space needle. Definitely one of a kind and if you are thirsty or hungry, there is no other choice really. I feel the pies are decently priced but felt the drinks and even the water bottle is overpriced due to its location. Quick service despite there's only one person working. Off to the food review! 3.7/5 - Apple Pie - Eat these as fast as possible. As when it's flaky and crispy it is at its best. One bite I felt the coldness of being on top of the needle and outside is worth it. Sweet chunks of apple with each bite, but I felt a bit more cinnamon would have pushed the pie to the next level. Only choice really of a place if you are hungry or parched, but nothing special that you need to stop by. Cool that it's just not a sandwich or normal cafe, but it being overpriced was a slight turn off. Still not bad for what it is.

    The pies come in savory and sweet and are absolutely delicious!!! We had the cherry pie made with Rainier Cherries. The apple pie in which the apples were covered in bourbon and brown sugar!!! The pig in a blanket and the ham and cheese pies were all amazing!!!! If you get the premium combo for $30 you get a pie and a keepsake tumbler with coffee!!!!! It has a cool gravity hold and won't tip over! Service was super helpful and friendly!!! The place was super clean and very well organized and the line moved fairly fast!

    This kept the pies nice and hot

    The only reason why I risked my sanity to ride the open air elevator all the way up the Space Needle was to check this pie place out! My kids and I were in town looking for touristy things to do. They mentioned the Space Needle. I was planning to talk them out of it when I saw on the website that on the top of the space needle, is the best mini pies in town. I was sold. It was a very scary ride up and when we got to the top, the kids went out to explore the scenery, while I was glued to the wall. I smelt coffee so I inched my way to where the smell was coming from. As I got closer I can smell pies coming out of the oven. I ordered coffee, peach pie and apple pie. ALL was delicious! I would love to get another one next time I am in town, but I really can't do that elevator and height again, so I'll have to get someone to go up there and pick one up for me . lol

    At the top of the space needle. It is just a little shop but gets very busy. They sell pies both sweet and savory and cinnamon rolls. You can get them with ice cream as well. They also sell drinks. The pore was great crispy light crust and packed with fruit! We got the cherry pie but they also have Apple and rhubarb strawberry and some meat pies. The I've cream was so good and smooth. Highly recommend. You can sit and look out of the tower while you eat it.

    What a hidden gem!! I really love how smooth and creamy the ice cream is. I got the strawberry + raspberry with a sweet cream base and it was delicious. The ice cream color is gorgeous. I definitely tasted the fresh raspberry seeds but I think freeze dried strawberries were used whereas I would've preferred fresh. The employees were super kind and helpful. A must try if you're in the area

    Cute little cafe in the Seattle Space Needle. They offer local craft beers and cute pastries. The service was great! The pastries were delicious. We both really liked the beers.

    Ham & cheese croissant

    How can you not love a cafe in the space needle?! It was cute, clean, and had a decent selection of goods. We got a ham & cheese croissant, it was much better than the airport ham & cheese but I probably won't have a craving for it.

    Curry pie
    Hemali S.

    Love the pastries! We got the apple and the curry one! Sweet and savory! It was very cold and windy up on top so was nice and warm to eat! So flaky so wear appropriate clothes!

    Great pies! Prices are reasonable. There also seems to be a few deals/combos (with drinks) available. Friendly staff. Enough seating area to take in the views. The pies smelled great immediately stepping off the elevator. Ordered the Beef IPA pie as well as the Pecan pie. The beef one was SO delicious, and for only $13 - a must get!

    Sausage roll and hazelnut latte! :)

The first sip is genuinely euphoric -- the mellow bite of the ginger and perfect level of fizzy carbonation pleasurably tingle and mingle with your tongue, while the fruity flavors of tart blood orange and tropical guava brighten the party with a refreshing splash. The ginger is not overpoweringly strong that it comes up your nose, and the blood orange and guava are deliciously subtle instead of tasting artificial. I know it's basically just soda, but it's so finely-tuned to be an immaculate symphony of harmonious flavors and sensations in your mouth, from the level of sweetness and carbonation to having just the right amount of punch from the ginger. The interior is not very well-lit but feels modern and bar-like with a lot of seating for just relaxing and sipping your RGB while enjoying the view of the Spheres. Overall, this is an amazing spot to stop by and grab an amazingly refreshing drink after visiting the Spheres or walking around downtown!

    This convenience store is overpriced and there are no price tags on anything so you don't know how…read moremuch you're going to pay until you check out. For some reason, if you order a sandwich, they will not ring you up and let you pay for it until after they make the sandwich. This is the only place I've ever been to that does this, and it was so frustrating because they kept ringing up other people while we had to stand there in the way. Just ring us up so we can move out of the way and wait for the sandwiches? I don't understand. When I tried to ask to pay for it after ordering, they got angry and it led to an argument. Not great service. Unfortunately, the sandwiches were really good and it's a convenient location, so I'll probably go back again, but I don't love supporting a place that has no price transparency, not great customer service, and makes me wait around to pay for my order while other customers are served. I like nearby Ruhamah Grocery for pantry staples, but sadly they don't sell fresh sandwiches.

Also, no prices are posted anywhere so just be prepared to learn it while paying. Only redeeming qualities of this place are that the hours are good (7 am -11pm) & the sandwiches are pretty tasty.. when you can get them to pay attention to you long enough and hop off their phones. Ruhamah grocery near by is much better. More variety and better employees.
