The Crumpet Shop is Pike Place Market's best quick breakfast - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"For a quick breakfast at Pike Place Market, substantial options are few and far between. And sometimes, the occasion doesn't call for several sticks of butter disguised as a "croissant," or a 9am cup of Beecher's mac and cheese. That's where The Crumpet Shop comes in. Their namesake cousin to the english muffin is equal parts bouncy and crunchy, with holes that catch every tasty topping from pesto and ricotta to raspberry preserves. Skip the questionable glass case at that Downtown coffee shop and swing here instead. Food Rundown Egg, English Cheese, & Ham It doesn't sound like much—some scrambled eggs and melted cheese with a slab of ham on a crumpet. But the power of soft, eggy curds and good quality pork goes a long way. A great savory option. Maple Butter If you're in a sweet mood, the combination of sticky maple butter and a lightly crisp crumpet really hits the spot. Just beware of accidental tilting—this thing is drippier than a malfunctioning sink faucet. Pesto, Ricotta, & Tomato The balance between earthy pesto and swipes of mild ricotta makes this one the best of the bunch. Plus, tomato for freshness." - Aimee Rizzo
