Fresh Flours South Lake Union

I used to go here everyday but not since the new manager took over. He doesn't like small talk and is not friendly. However, the rest of the staff are women and they're ALWAYS friendly and nice to talk to. It takes an outgoing personality to be a barista. Nevertheless, the coffee is amazing and so are most of the wide variety of pastries. I recommend their special: cardamon rose latte.

My husband and I are foodies, always in search of high quality pastry experiences in every city we visit. We happened to come here only because most of the higher rated bakeries in Seattle are closed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, despite the name, this place is not worthy of being called a “patisserie”. The base of their kouign amman was wrapped in parchment paper creating a sticky, wet, and soggy layer of croissant dough instead of the delicious caramelized base that one would expect. It was so bad that we threw away the remaining half. The ham and cheese croissant has cheap processed cheddar cheese in the center. Even after they heated it for us, the center was still cold. I later found out that their pastry items are baked at a central location in the city and then distributed to their various locations—which partially explains the poor quality. Their latte, served in a plastic cup, is extremely poor, bland, with a thin water mouthfeel. And the shorthaired blonde woman with glasses who rang us up was curt at best - it doesn’t cost you anything to be welcoming, patient, and pleasant to your customers. I have no idea how this place managed to expand to multiple locations. This was our last stop in Seattle and unfortunately ended our trip on a really low note. You’re way better off going to Bakery Nouveau or Coyle’s Bakeshop who are more deserving of your time and money.

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!

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!

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 boyfriend and the iced matcha latte I bought was very tasty as well. Will definitely be coming back on our future trips.

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.

Super cute little coffee shop/bakery. I got a earl grey latte and breakfast sandi and it was so good. The staff was nice and the best part is they have tampons in their bathroom! So considerate! Love this place!

I decided to try something different so I ordered the blue cloud coffee with blueberry and lavender. To my surprise it was perfect and so delicious. It was a hot day in Seattle so I ordered it iced. No sugar. I will go back to get another one soon.
