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!

After having lunch across the street, I decided to check out Cafe Hagen SLU (7/21/26). I had…read morevisited other Seattle locations on upper and lower Queen Anne. I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland. Support local!

We had 50 minutes with many cats, 12+ including Maine Coon Rocky! We wish they would be lap cats but none chose us nor did we see other folks with lap cats though we saw a few cats jump up on seats and tables! There are many cat beds for them as well as toys to use to play with them. Enjoy watching the few food motivated cats who watch others eat or wait by the door where cat food is held!

The teacher encouraged us to take breaks to play with the cats or take photos if we wanted to during the class. The cafe had just opened and the cats were very active and curious. The cats love rolling on the yoga mats and some of them spent time next to the students. It was a relaxing yoga class and so fun to watch the cats exploring the room. A great experience! I also had fun shopping for gifts and got a delicious macaron from the cafe.

Not sure when I will be back, but if I'm presenting at the same location again, this is a must go to!

My rellies ordered the chicken katsu curry (not pictured). My dish was tasty. The pork was tender, nicely seasoned, and the batter was crispy. I tried the curry sauce and it was nicely seasoned also. 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.

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 am not sure how to rate this bakery. I bought two items. The pear tart was excellent.

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.
