George Coffee & Pastries

The Best Restaurants in Seattle’s University District | Eater Seattle

"Opened in December 2024 in the former University Seafood and Poultry space, George Coffee and Pastries pays homage to its historic location with a striking Streamline Moderne-inspired aesthetic. Pastries are baked onsite and the flaky croissants are the star, available in various flavors like almond, pistachio, and raspberry. The plain croissant does double-duty as the base for a knockout breakfast sandwich, with eggs gently baked into a soufflé-adjacent square (a la Flour Bakery) topped with cheddar cheese and crisp thick-cut bacon. Say yes to having it heated to restore that croissant to its just-baked, crisp yet tender and flaky peak. It’s a contender for one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city." - Mark DeJoy
