What a gem! This place is delicious. Their sandwiches are wonderful, especially the salami and olive (get it toasted!) And the Curry quinoa is perfect. And great coffee!
Great coffee and beautiful bakery items - they are like works of art! We met the owner and it’s clear that she takes pride in her work. Her colleague was friendly and helpful too. Yum!
I was looking for a medium size restaurant with a good variety. Once I got into the place, I felt disappointed. But the coffee was outstanding and the sandwich and croissant we ordered were delicious, to say the least. It was a very good experience!
Most delicious brioche sweet buns and marcarons in Seattle! Their new location is not as cute, but much easier to get to and spacious- totally worth going out of your way for a treat. Oh and the dessert are all top notch!
Hands down the best coffee, hot sandwich and pastry shop in downtown Seattle, prices are a little bit high but those delicious hot sandwiches and brioches, and croissants, mmm! You will not regret coming and eating there. I go there once in a while just to support them with my money and enjoy yummy food and quality Italian coffee, and I absolutely love the fact they give you porcelain cups, I hate hate hate single use disposable cups idiots from Starbucks use!
Best chocolate croissants in the city. Love the people that work here as well. It has become something I sincerely look forward to on the days that I come into the office. I know Carolyn and the team put a lot of work into the pastries and it shows. I'm inclined to go make peace with the Madison location just so I can enjoy the croissants more often.
Best little coffeeshop for breakfast in Seattle... ive read in the reviews someone saying their croissants is bad let me tell you smthg its better than the croissants ive tried in Paris my self 😋 definitely coming back …
This is a nice cafe. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. This cafe’s only entrance is inside the lobby of a large office building, so one must walk through any entrance of the building to find it. There are tables and chairs for cafe patrons inside and outside the cafe. This cafe has numerous pastries and espresso drinks. I ate the chocolate croissant, which was a good croissant with a nice strip of chocolate in the middle. After eating I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave this bakery five stars because it has good chocolate croissants in a beautiful office tower lobby.
Their ham and cheese croissant and sandwiches are some of the best breakfast options in this area of downtown. Their new location in the 4th and Madison building is inviting and beautifully done, and the partitioned area to watch the bakers is a nice touch.
The cafe is a little difficult to find since it's inside a large building but the service was great. The atmosphere was nice as well, not too busy not too empty.
