Fresh Flours South Lake Union

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh Flour Bakery has excellent vibes and outstanding customer service. The fresh brewed dark coffee is rich and smooth, and their Oat and Coconut Vegan Cookie is perfectly chewy without being overly sweet. A cozy spot with top-notch treats!

Great place to get pastries! My favorite was the Matcha muffin which had a red bean inside, which was so amazing. The matcha cookie was OK as well as the Matcha latte. Their specialty coffees look pretty good! I would come back.

Fresh Flours always has good quality pastries - even when they warm up their croissants, they remain flakey instead of sinking and getting soggy. Coffee is also good and I just found out that refills are only $1 - and this is not just for drip. We literally got an iced mocha refilled for a dollar which is amazing!

Love the little coffee spots around town, and this one was fantastic. The drip was fresh and full of aroma, and the specialty drink wifey got was tasty as well. Don't skip the snacks because the ham biscuit was on point. To top it off, the server/ barista was super sweet, and the place is cute/ cozy!

I've been a big fan of this place for the past 8 years. This morning I ordered 2 large order online (10 + 6 = total 16 pastries) to celebrate a friend's birthday. I expected that since they always put 4 or more pastries in a box. When I went to pick it up, they each came in a paper bag and the pastries were all crumpled up in a small bag. Can you believe I ordered 16 pastries and they all fit in two small bags? All Danish pastries are out of shape. So I asked for a box and put the pastries in the box myself. I tipped them because I ordered a lot but I put them in the box by myself. I'm a big fan of this place so I hope this never happens again.

Dropped by on. Saturday as this was one of only a few coffee shops opened nearby our hotel. The Coffee was excellent and not acidic. Had the almond croissant and matcha muffin (can actually taste matcha, both were delicious. Has some seating inside and outside. Nice local joint.

Tasty almond croissant and blackberry Danish. Pretty big croissant for the price. I’ve had croissants with more almond filling before but this one was light and flaky which balanced with the lesser paste. Ordered a vanilla hazelnut latte… very smooth but was light. Great study spot, tucked in SLU. Lots of pastry’s I would go back to try if I was in the area!

The gluten free banana cake was the best I’ve had. Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside with the right amount of chocolate, you wouldn’t think it was gluten free.

CAN I GIVE THIS SIX STARS? For the cowboy sandwich. We dropped by for breakfast since it was close to our hotel in SLU. What a surprise it was! Atmosphere: nontouristy. Laid back. Relaxing. Service: excellent. Kind and professional staff Food: exceeded all expectations Items we ordered: -London fog- delicious earl grey tea with a milk foam. -mocha- made with great coffee and quality chocolate -kouign amann- very airy -pain au chocolat- quality chocolate and very airy *****cowboy sandwich- OUT OF THIS WORLD. This is a prepackaged breakfast sandwich from the fridge section, made by "Molly's". They heated it up for us. From the initial sight of it, bread looks more artisanal but the rest of it looks typical. We bit into the lightest airiest brioche bun by far. It was almost like a cloud bread, with very fine air pockets, even finer than angel food cake. The sausage and egg tasted very home made, very lightly seasoned, refined. I would come back here just for this sandwich and the drinks to go with it. Just. Wow. Whoever Molly is-- please keep making this !

Excellent pastries. Would come back Friendly and helpful staff Cute space with relaxing decor and chill music Appreciate the free water and utensil Bright space

Coffee, WOW. Baked goodies, WOW, sandwiches, WOW. I love, love, love this place. Amazing!

I love this shop! Visited last year and couldn't wait to go back this trip & was not disappointed. Today was 3rd visit this trip and the lattes are hot, smooth with just right flavor! The staff is kind, efficient and welcoming and the pastries are out of this world consistently good!!!! So far this trip I have enjoyed lavender latte, violet latte with cold foam, vanilla latte & a hot honey lavender latte... all delicious!!!

Great place to get pastries! My favorite was the Matcha muffin which had a red bean inside, which was so amazing. The matcha cookie was OK as well as the Matcha latte. Their specialty coffees look pretty good! I would come back.

It's honestly not bad. I am particularly impressed by the matcha muffin. The matcha is very present with just enough red bean paste. The almond croissant is alright. I think it would taste better if I heat it up. I will comeback if I ever pass by the neighborhood again. As for the americano, I just don't have a lot of memories. People here complaint about service. C'mon, it's Seattle. You think people just greet you with a big smile? Inside is very cozy as well. It's really a cozy spot for a rainy day.

My friend and I stopped by Fresh Flours for a breakfast pastry this past Thursday morning after a run around Lake Union. The spot is more of a "grab and go" since there's not a lot of tables (only window/bar seating, which were taken up by other customers already). However, they have a few tables outside, and the breezy morning was the perfect time to enjoy our food outdoors. HAM & CHEESE CROISSANT - 5.75 Warmed up ham and cheese croissant was perfect. The croissant was flaky and buttery. The ham was warm with perfectly melted cheese. This was a tasty sandwich and definitely a good "go-to" in the area if you're looking for a quick breakfast/snack while on the go.

This place is nice, a good spot for a grab and go. Only one table but they have window seating. Workers were nice. The pastries displayed looked cute. The food and coffee was fine, above mediocre. If you're in a bind then def a good spot but wouldn't go out of my way to try. Mocha - 7.5, solid London Fog - 7, solid Ham and Cheese croissant - 8, good but wished the cheese was more melty. We heated it up and ate it there and the inside was still cold Peach danish - 6.5 - wouldn't recommend getting

Staff were very friendly and had great recommendations. Good location, easy to get into and was a great place to visit on our vacation.

I'm ready to bring Fresh Flours their flowers for providing richly crafted coffee drinks and enriching pastries all in the small cafe setting where the activity is high and the buzz is good. The most blooming flowers must go to owners and spouses Keiji Koh and Etsuko Minematsu who turned their baking dreams into a mini empire of Asian infused sweet treats and deluxe craft coffees with four locations and counting. Located on 8th Avenue North on the ground floor of the 8 + Republican Apartments in the up and coming South Lake Union neighborhood, what makes Fresh Flours stand out among the plethora of coffee shops in the Emerald City is that they are equal parts bakery and coffee shop. It was this distinction that led me to take a few block walk from my hotel across the street from the nearby Denny Park, what drew me to Fresh Flours was the fact that they served fresh pastries both sweet and savory and I knew this because I typed in coffee shop in my trusty Yelp app as I was walking around, and my fellow Yelpers made sure to post a number of their baked goodies and I was sold by the images alone. When I entered their darkened cafe space, there was no one in line, so decisions had to be made rather fast. Instead I took my time and when I turned around there was a line of people behind me. This gave me a little more time to decide what beverage I wanted to order, and what pastries that I planned to order. The regular beverage menu is pretty straightforward at Fresh Flours as they have your traditional coffee drinks including drip, espresso and cappuccinos among others. I wasn't expecting them to have a Drink Special menu featuring four coffee drinks with some truly unique flavor combinations. Although I could have chosen from one of their options such as Honey Pistachio Latte or their Blue Moon Latte with Lavender and Blueberry, there was something about their Creamsicle Latte that was calling my name, and when it was my turn to order their barista suggested that I get this coffee drink over ice, of which I had some hesitations, but I obliged. Although they had some luscious looking pastries from the shiniest danishes, hearty croissants, and the largest kouign amann that I have ever seen, there was something about their Sausage Mushroom Pithivier that I instantly knew it was going to be good, so I ordered that and a Double Chocolate Cookie for my sweet treat. My total bill was $14.82 before gratuity was added in, which was actually reasonable considering how many items I ordered this initial visit. Thankfully they have the option of heating up my savory pastry, of which it took less than a minute, and it wouldn't take too long for my beverage to be ready for pickup at their counter area. I was able to take some time and sit there and enjoy what I just ordered, which was a nice change of pace especially since their WiFi signal was easily accessible and strong. I have to be honest the coffee drink wasn't my favorite, as there were too many flavors competing with one another and it didn't help that the entire coffee had an overabundance of ice cubes in it. What was the real star of my meal were their baked goods as my pithivier was one of the most savory, heartiest small meals that I have enjoyed in quite some time. The chocolate cookie was more of a crinkle cookie thanks to the abundance of powdered sugar, which in turn got over everything as I would take that back to my room, but it too was a delicious delight. I cannot wait to come back to Fresh Flours and try more of their pastries as they all looked so decadent and delectable. And all priced at no more than six dollars, then when combined with a traditional coffee, your day is set! It's time to take in the fresh scent of flowers when visiting Fresh Flours!

Such a cute place!!! The food was beautiful and tasty too. The service was quick! I had a wonderful time here

As a regular whos redeemed several free drinks from building up enough points, i have to say that they have such a great business overall. Location in the heart of SLU, amazing pastries and coffee. The cozy seating areas are perfect for a stop after you walk around the Lake Union or stop by Glazers camera shop. The staff are always so accommodating and friendly to the point where one instance i usually use apple pay but i forgot my phone! They gave me a free coffee on them which of course i went back and purchased other goods with gratuity. Another instance is, i was craving a strawberry matcha drink and saw that they have strawberry mocha and mint matcha on the menu, i asked if i could get strawberry matcha and they made it for me, and its so good (actually too good) that i can't help but keep coming back. One key thing to note is, because their pastry is top tier it does go out fast. And if youre looking for savory ones, you have to go before 11am because thats when they toss them due to containing meat and dairy.

Great bites and drinks! I went to Fresh Flours because it was one of a very few coffee shops that was open at 6 AM and it did not disappoint! While there is limited seating, the food, drinks and friendly service over compensate for it. It can get pretty crowded (in my experience between 9-9:30) but the line seemed to move fast. I ordered a standard latte to start with a croissant with pecans, which was delicious! After working for a few hours at the bar seating I had to order the "sweet treat" which is a strawberry matcha latte and OMG it did not disappoint!! The strawberry flavor was jammy and complimented the matcha so well.

great selection of drinks and pastries and welcoming exterior. also, baristas are always friendly. best cafe in slu in my opinion. matcha muffin was so good this morning.....

Food - the bakery is really tasty. We tried a matcha muffin and blueberry muffin as well as the ham and cheese and the regular croissant. Very flakey croissants! The muffins were very good too - so good my partner ate his before I could try a bite of his. For drinks we got the matcha and the mocha. The sizing is really solid here as are the portion sizes. I think the bakery was fresh and delicious and the drinks were also good. Service - very kind and attentive. They were constantly sweeping up and wiping down as folks were coming and going (those croissants are flakey!) and were very friendly. They also have a small dog treats bowl too! Ambiance - it's a small and cozy little spot tucked into the side of the first floor of an apartment complex. There's both indoor and outdoors but the patio is quite small. I think they might have more seating across the walkway when it's warmer? They are dog friendly but we sat outside at the one patio table with our pups because it was a bit busy and crowded inside. There were quick in and outs, families, couples, solos, pups, babies, and lurkers with laptops so this cafe seems to serve a diverse crowd. Very cozy for lingering but also very efficient for a grab and go too. Overall - would definitely come back and try more bakery or some other drinks. The matcha was nice but I want to try their lattes too.

I have been working in SLU right across from fresh flours for the past 6 months and I have been coming here since day 1! The location is extremely convenient for me, and if there's no rush, I can leave my desk, and be back in under 10 min. If there is a rush, at times uh the mornings, the baristas are still pretty efficient, and usually I'm out within 15 min! They have a very nice selection of pastries, and every single one I've had tastes great. My favorites are the green tea muffin and the sausage and mushroom pitivier. I also really like their matcha lattes. They were previously offering an option of an iced strawberry matcha with the choice of getting it in seltzer rather than milk (a summer seasonal drink) and this was one of my favorite items! Now I stick to a hot matcha, but will sometimes mix it up with a pumpkin spice chai. Everyone who works here is extremely nice. The cafe itself is really cute, really bright, with barstool seating and also some couches. I've also sat and consumed my food and drinks on the outdoor patio on warm days. So thankful I work right by here

Amazing baked goods! Their sesame cookies are delicious. I love that they have a coffee rewards program as well.

Seriously one of the best and cozy coffee shops I've been to. The staff is very helpful and kind and the shop itself is kind of small but in a very warm and cozy way. It has a really nice and welcoming vibe. On top of that the almond and ham and cheese croissant were excellent. The vanilla latte my partner and the iced matcha latte I bought was very tasty as well. Will definitely be coming back on our future trips.

So tasty. I wish they had Basque cakes left but that's what I get for getting there in the afternoon. Next time!

Delicious pastries, I couldn't decide as they all looked so delish so I kept it simple and got a matcha cookie and a dark roast coffee. A wondersyart to my day! Cheers!

Was in town for a few days and looking for good coffee near my hotel. Found this spot and happy I did. Cute interior, good espresso, and nice selection of pastry's. Tried the sausage mushroom patty and a rum cake...both amazing. Service was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely come back when I'm the area.

I loooove pastries so I've been eyeing fresh flours for a while. I got the twice baked almond croissant and the blueberry lemon pastry. They were cold when we received them so good thing I lived close by so we could reheat everything. After reheating them, the pastries were still pretty mediocre. My friend who also got the twice baked almond croissant did not like hers at all. There was barely any flaky/crunch texture to it that a croissant would have, it was all kinda mushy? Also the girl that worked there seemed unfriendly and very unhappy to be there. I thought I was just imagining that but my friend brought it up too and now reading through recent reviews, it seems to be a thing.

If you are the coffee drinkers who enjoy having pastries, go to Fresh Flours. There are multiple locations in Seattle. We have been trying out cappuccino and pastries from so many coffee shops in WA for the past 3 years and this is by far the best in Seattle. Pastries - 5/5. Their croissants (plain, chocolate, Azuki red beans, almond) are baked perfectly! You can request to get them warmed up there. They are light and flaky outside and chewy inside. Cheese danish is good, but you can't beat their croissants. cappuccino - 5/5. always good. Pet friendly - they offer dog treats. Service - friendly. Ambience - pretty cozy with bench, bar stools and some chairs.

Delicious selection of pastries. Cozy inside with chairs and counters. Friendly staff.

The staff is incredibly nice! My child requested a medium hot chocolate, but then my spouse ordered a small. When it was done, my child's face dropped and was so sad. The team heard the issue and made a larger one. Will return!

Great coffee. Very friendly staff. Lovely and very tasty pastries. I'll never go back. THEY DONT TAKE CASH.

The service was super friendly and fast. There isn't too much room for seating but it has a nice vibe and there is some outdoor seating as well. The mocha was very good and the pastries are just awesome. This will be my coffee shop when I'm in town from now on.

Cute spot for a grab and go but somewhere to go regularly. Items are pricey (not including tip) especially for drinks that are always watery. While also pricey the pastries are quite good.

I had an appointment at UW and needed a quick snack. Luckily Fresh Flours was kitty corner from the building. The cashier and barista were very friendly, there was a good selection of snacks and my order was done quickly. I got the onion and Swiss croissant, which was flaky and a perfect balance of salty cheese and sweet caramelized onions. Will be back next time I have an appointment.

Very cute coffee shop with plenty of seating inside despite being a smaller place (they have a small patio outside with seating as well!) Friendly and fast service. Ordered a vanilla latte and a peach danish pastry -- the coffee was surprisingly disappointing (6.5/10) and the pastry, although delicious (8/10) could have tasted better if warmed prior to serving. Not sure if I would come again, but definitely not a bad spot if you're close by and wanting a cup of coffee!

This review is for the Twice Baked Almond Croissant ($3.95)! It was nice and light and flaky with a good almond flavor and ample almond filling. I loved the extra layer of almond crust on top. I definitely want to come back and try their other items!

a little pricey but the croissant and goat cheese danish was delicious ! service was a bit cold..

Came across this shop accidentally when the shop I intended to go to first was closed on Labor Day weekend. Their loss, because Fresh Flours was great. Loved all the pastries especially the ones with a Japanese twist with azuki bean or matcha. The almond croissant was delicious as well. Would definitely come back.

Whatever you do dont point at pastries , recently was reprimanded for my arm getting too close to

I've heard good things about the matcha muffin at Fresh Flours, so I had to give it a shot. Swung by at 10am on a Sunday morning and nabbed the last one. Overall, this pastry did not disappoint! I thought that the green tea flavor was subtle in a good way -- neither too sweet nor too bitter. The muffin's consistency was spot on, with a chewy interior that was moist but not gooey (lol something about that description sounds wrong). This contrasted well with the crunchy nut toppings. The muffin also had a small dollop of red bean paste tucked in its core. I wish they added more, since it was my favorite part. Solid 4 stars. I can definitely see the appeal of Fresh Flours, especially to those who dislike overly-sweet pastries but love Asian-flavored desserts.

Fresh flours single handedly saved my early career. I was a lowly team member at the bottom of the totem pole. The kind of low where they let you schedule the meetings, but you're not actually in the meetings you've scheduled... I wasn't an intern, nor assistant, nor secretary... just bottom-rung low. Other idle lowlies across our organization decided to host a quarterly breakfast to boost morale and pat everyone's backs during our busy times of the year. When it was my turn, I catered smoothies, brisket breakfast tacos, and dozens of Fresh Flours pastries. From rags to riches, their pastries brought me notoriety, accolades, and respect for my decision making triumphs. I astounded my oppressors, and was quickly promoted - I now run the company. If you want a promotion, offer to bring breakfast for the team and bring Fresh Flour pastries. *Disclaimer* Only one sentence of the above review is mildly exaggerative. The rest is an accurate account of my life as I lived it.

Modern, bright cafe with Asian-inspired pastries that will definitely perk up your morning! Note that there is limited indoor seating but there are a few small tables outside. I came here twice during my visit to Seattle and got the red bean croissant and the matcha red bean muffin. The red bean croissant was incredible--very flaky croissant with a healthy amount of red bean, and a well-executed spin to the typical red bean buns found in Asian bakeries. Unfortunately I didn't have the same experience with the matcha red bean muffin. By contrast, the red bean was sparse and the muffin itself was very dry and chalky. Both pastries I got were not too sweet, aka the gold standard for Asian palates. The iced americano I got here was also pretty good. Overall recommend giving this place a try!

Period the best pastries available. Believe me I have tried them all and nothing touches FF.

This place is the best! The one in West Seattle has more baked goods, so the difference between the SLU location and West Seattle is just quantity of options. The lattes are still super foamy and holy cow you can actually taste the espresso! I'll post pictures. They have it decorated adorably for Halloween. The ladies who work here are wonderful. They are so sweet and provide amazing customer service. They even remember people's orders. I highly recommend this place!

This bakery is my guilty pleasure when I come into the office. The pastries here are so unique and delicious. Never would I have imagined an adzuki (red bean paste) croissant! I just tried their green tea red bean paste muffin and it is delectable. Not too sweet, perfectly moist and you can taste the matcha in every bite. I've also tried their sesame, matcha, and chocolate almond shortbread cookies. The sesame is ok, matcha and chocolate are my top picks. Perfect little snack when you don't want to overindulge :). Easily, one of my favorite bakeries in Seattle!

I've been on the hunt for the best chocolate croissant and finally got a chance to try this cute local Seattle chain cafe. As compared to Evoke, I liked Fresh Flours because it had more more chocolate inside (2 full sticks!). But the matcha was very watered down because they use instant matcha (bleh). May be back for their espresso drinks.

I really wish I could remember to take pretty pictures but no, I am a trash panda of excitement around pastries and coffee. So we checked out of our hotel and had seen this place, so we popped in before visiting our wedding venue as they are within walking distance. Well...let me tell you. Delicious coffee... THE MOST AMAZING PEACH DANISH EVER...YES, I AM YELLING BECAUSE I AM SITTING HERE IN PORTLAND, SAD, THINKING ABOUT THIS DANISH. Can I order 50? Seriously...for the post-wedding brunch, I would KILL to have those danishes. So... please feel free to tell me ALL ABOUT ordering in bulk hahaha The only MEH moment was the breakfast sammich. I feel like it NEEDS a bit of ...something. A mama lil's spread...additional seasoning on the egg...something. it is not worth removing a star for it because everything was as advertized and all the other items were epic...but yeah. Just missing........something. Thank you to the pink-haired human who made a fabulous latte, and I am going to be over here....dreaming of that danish. We are back in Seattle in January so if this is a regular item... I AM MOVING IN haha *heart emoji*

The danish was amazing! Coffee was delicious too. Coffee cake was also drool worthy. Sooo gooood!

The best almond croissant I have ever had. It was perfectly flakey and buttery but a bit soft and creamy in the middle. I was wishing I bought two :) I also enjoyed an iced vanilla latte. I appreciated the way the barista made my drink. Had a matcha cookie too which wasn't my favorite - but definitely taste like matcha!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle! Fresh Flours is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great coffee and delicious baked goods. What really blew me away today was the seasonal strawberry matcha latte. There is no sign of any gritty or powdery texture in the drink. Instead, the matcha flavor is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of fresh strawberries, creating a flavor profile that is both refreshing and indulgent at the same time. The cookies, on the other hand, are perfectly chewy, buttery, and flaky. Definitely recommend grabbing coffee or bakery items if you happen to be around SLU!

A cute little coffee shop near DT Seattle and SLU -- it's nestled right next to some office buildings, so I stopped by for an afternoon pick-me-up with a co-worker. It's a bright and airy shop with some seating inside and a few tables outside as well. The staff is super nice and they have all of the basic coffeeshop offerings as well as some tasty pastries! I loved the iced tea and the scone was fire. I would totally stop by again!

I was staying nearby while on vacation and I just happened upon this place. The coffee and pastries were amazing! The staff both days I came in were very friendly and helpful.

My favourite coffee shop in Seattle! Not only do they have yummy sandwiches and pastries, but the heartwarming coffee creates the perfect café aesthetic and vibe you need. Some favourites are the Pesto Chicken Sandwich, Coffee Hazelnut Cake, Mocha! Also love the pun in their name

I casually walked in here, not really looking for coffee or a bakery. I will say that it reminded me a lot of Starbucks. A lot of the sandwich stuff was wrapped and designed to be microwaved. French is not necessarily my favorite food because it has a tendency to be over priced, small portions, and not substantial for a meal. This place wasn't bad though. Cute spot overall and wouldn't be bad to go and catch up with someone visiting in a casual setting. I don't that I would personally come back, but for what it is, I liked it. I ordered the Sausage pithivier and I thought it was really well made. The American in me wishes it had more meat, but I could taste the quality. It was good! I'd recommend it
