Fresh Flours West Seattle

Whenever I visit a new place, I always try to find the best local bakery around & this place did not disappoint!! Came here twice during my weekend stay in White Center. Highly recommend getting the Kouign Aman and the plain butter croissant — simple, buttery goodness that pairs well with any coffee order. My next fave would be the basque cake! Didn’t get to try any of the fruit danishes because I’m not a huge fruit pastry person but they came highly recommended! Coffee is solid, I got the seasonal Maple Cinammon iced latte which wasn’t too sweet & it lets the pastries really shine. They have a cute local vibe with an outdoor patio and something I really liked was seeing the bakers prep the pastries right next to the counter— added to the authenticity of the place. Everything was affordable & the staff was so nice, which enhanced my experience even more. Make sure you get there early so you can have more variety, their stuff starts running out at around 10:30/11!!

This is the best Fresh Flours location in the city. The baked goods are outstanding - I’ve tried several different ones and every one of them was A+. I would highly recommend the basque cake and the matcha muffins - these two are my go to. The coffee service is super fast unlike other establishments in the neighborhood. The roast on the beans is perfect every-time on the cappuccinos I have got here. They have outdoor yard with plenty of seats with few tables for interior seating. The staff are extremely good at their job and always cheerful.

The staff here is warm, kind and efficient. They remember your order, take the time to ask about your day, and are very quick with their turnaround time. The baked goods are usually well stocked; if you go too close to closing, the choices are limited, but I am always pleased that there’s something yummy to grab to accompany my coffee. The espresso drinks are delicious - so grateful they use a darker roast than most surrounding coffee shops. This is definitely a regular spot!

There are very few bakeries in Seattle with the quality and consistency of this Japanese inspired (and formerly owned) spot. Great pastries. Great matcha. A must visit.

Usually, it’s the great tradition of high quality coffee shops that the better the coffee, the more unbearable the staff. Fresh flowers shows that this does not have to be true. Their staff are a complete joy. The coffee is wonderful. The pastries are even better and couldn’t be any fresher… They bake them right in front of you. If I had to make one suggestion to make this experience even better, I love it when a coffee shop gives me a free drip coffee when I buy a pound of coffee. If they added that policy, my coffee life there would be thoroughly complete and without regret. As it stands, their beans are rare, fantastic, and feature lighter roasts than many of their local alternatives.

Staff are attentive and polite. I always have good experience with FF. Overall the experienced was wonderful. I give it a 5 stars. Much much better than the well known coffee shop across the country. And the prices are within my budget.

Tried to pick up sum pastries last Sunday before noon for our first visit. When we asked if there was anything available that was not on display we were rudely told that because it was so late in the day everything was sold out. When we did order what was available we were told that they were card only no cash(while there was a big tip jar full of cash on the counter). The person at the register could not have cared less so we left. One look around the seating area and you could see they cater to the gentrification crowd. While I was skimming thru the comments it seems like they pick and choose who they are accommodating to.

🌿 Amazing croissants and coffee, paired with lovely music and a charming atmosphere. The perfect indoor temperature on a hot summer day was a true delight. I especially appreciated the thoughtful selection of art and painting books!

The food and drinks are delicious. I like their matcha muffin filled with red bean paste. I get it every time. The baristas are always cheerful and welcoming. I enjoy taking a moment to relax in their outdoor garden space, which is especially nice when the sun is out.

The pastries can be good if you get the right kind The last 2 visits, we got items at the end of the day so they were a bit dry. We aren't fans of the sugar cookies but perhaps they would taste better with coffee. Service station for self serve is always great. Water, cups, napkins, sugar, etc. The ambience is nice and relaxing, plenty of bright sunshine.

5/5 Food- generous portions, real barista's, not a machine making the coffee, prepackaged sandwiches warmed up if requested. 5/5 Service- very kind service with a smile 5/5 Ambiance- really cute very chill laid back and the music is so good ! This is a place you can have a low key date and actually hear each!

Great coffee and wonderful pastries, savory and sweet. I'm heading out the door as I type to get my coffee and pastries.

The pastries were delicious and the coffee was wonderful. I tried the blackberry Danish and it was the perfect mix of tart with sweet and the pastry was baked wonderfully. Also got the Kouign Amman which was divine.

Not enough seating One man working One guy working is not friendly at all Slim pastry selection My latte was more like a cappuccino with all that foam in it. I was furious to see how little of it there was but there was such a long line, I left.

We stopped by on a Saturday morning and they had a pretty good line of customers. They also had the line moving real fast and with the brightest smile on their face. Great, fast service and the pastries were delicious too. We'll be back for sure.

This place has an open kitchen and makes their pastries in house. The pastries are about $5 each which is not cheap, but it is fresh and house made! Last time I tried the matcha muffin and the chocolate short bread. They were both very yummy. Matcha muffin was my favorite. I can taste the matcha and it was not overpowering, not too sweet too. This time I tried the pecan currant croissant and the hazelnut coffee cake. The pecan currant croissant was really very sweet... too sweet for me. The hazelnut coffee cake was also sweet, but I will get it again when I have a sweet tooth. I had an americano both times. It was decent.

Their pastries are sooooooo gooooooooood. Best I've had in Seattle. Staff are nice, it's great they have vegan and vegetarian options but man does their coffee suuuuuuck. My partner and I both agree. No matter if we get a vanilla late or a mocha it all just tastes like hot 2% milk. And it's every single time Not sure if the manager is telling staff to skimp on the ingredients or what it's so strange!

This location of fresh flours was the perfect get me up for the morning. They had the flakiest croissants and the most buttery scones. I didn't have to stand in line too long, but as soon as I ordered the line started forming out the door. Overall they had such a diverse range of pastries and other breakfast items as well. The only thing is that I wish they had more seating indoors for a sit-in coffee or breakfast.

Came by again and 5-star-experience one again! My dog and I came here on our walk today and we both had a great time. I wasn't sure if she was allowed on the floor but for everyone's comfort, I carried her and the employees didn't mind at all. They also provide a jar of dog treats by the condiment bar and she really enjoyed them! For human things, I got a matcha latte and a cardamom latte to bring home for my mom. Both were so delicious! Can't wait to go back!

This cafe is so cute! If you need a cute study spot with yummy pastries and good drinks, come through to this local spot! I love Fresh Flours, it's such a great little spot. I love to study here, I love to catch up with friends here, and it is in white center so there's back-in angle spots to park. They have a simple menu, but lots of syrups and stuff, so don't be afraid to ask for something niche--especially since the people who work here are so nice! I got an oat lavender latte and it was delicious, and definitely was a good caffeine fix for the day. Yummy yummy - I do wish it was a little more lavender-y but that's my personal preference and maybe my tongue is messed up. They've also recently added some outdoor seating in like the "backyard" area. I didn't go outside because it wasn't quite warm enough for me, but can't wait to be here in the summer! Anyways, long story short, please visit this cafe!

Tell me why this website says dogs are allowed but I was told I couldn't bring mine inside this morning. I brought him in the last time I came and there wasn't an issue... mind you he's 3lbs, would be in a bag or my arms during our visit. I won't be back

Excellent choices, flavors, and service was great too even when I was holding up the line because I had a bigger order for a work event. Pastries were light, flaky, great flavors, and not too sweet... the mini cakes were moist, dense and delicious too! I'll be back for sure just for myself!!

I ordered baked goods the night before. Went to pick up my order. It wasn't ready. I was told they didn't have it and maybe I had the wrong location. I showed them the reciept. "Oh, I refunded that order this morning". I was never notified. There was No... We're sorry for the inconvenience. Nothing. All three employees looked at me with blank stares. I should have charged for my time and gas getting there. Zero customer service. Hire someone with a brain.

I have been wanting to go here for a while since my boyfriend is a little more than a 5 minute walk away. We took his dog with us because they have a super cute little outdoor patio that is dog friendly. I'm surprised I haven't heard more about this place because it's delicious and it's super cute! I got the almond croissant- it was so soft & buttery with every bite. It did have an excessive amount of powdered sugar, but it was worth it haha. The coffee was also pretty good and very flavorful. Our walks around the neighborhood just got a little better. :)

Over priced. Rude staff with zero compassion for neurodivergent people. Unacceptable

Just alright--some of the pastries are a hit or miss. I really like the coffee cake but I didn't like the banana bread (was a bit too dry for me). Coffee drinks are pretty standard, although yesterday I tried their seasonal maple spice latte and I didn't taste much of the spice; just tasted like a generic sweet latte. We also used to love their breakfast tacos but last time we got them they weren't as good as a year ago. Also FYI they are no longer dog-friendly inside the cafe, only on the patio. I just saw a previous review mentioning dog poop on the floor so that probably was one of the instances that ruined it for everyone and made them change their policy.

Yummy pastries and breakfast tacos. Most pastries were $4.50 might be a bit more on the pricey side but really good. I definitely recommend the pear and peach danish. The hazelnut coffee cake and twice baked can come off a little sweet however. The slight concern is that the pastries is uncovered and is just out on the counter behind a shield barrier. Located on a pretty busy street and parking in the front of the store. Seating is available in the inside and outside. There's even a outdoor section with plants and all. T

Stopped by on a cold snowy day for a hot drink and a warm snack. I got the cheddar biscuit and a hot chocolate. Both were tasty, but the biscuit was especially great. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any WiFi, or if there was it wasn't clear how to connect. They only have a few tables and some bar seats so not a ton of seating if it's busy.

I moved away so I don't come by much anymore but if you're looking for pastries that will change your life come thru. the baristas are really cool too. I miss it like everyday for real. Don't miss this place if you're in town. (try the fruit croissants)

This DOG FRIENDLY (!!!) spot has become my favorite place to pop in for fresh baked pastries and amazing coffee beverages. The vibe is super chill, offering counter service only. They have all of their pastries on display and there is also a selection of a few other refrigerated items if you wanted to forego a tasty bready treat for possibly an Ellenos yogurt cup or a prerolled burrito (which I assume they'd heat up for you upon request). There are only a few cafe tables inside but they make the most of the space they have. There are some bar stools in the window, some cafe tables on the side walk in front of the entrance, and there is also an adorable side patio area attached on the side which feels like a secret garden that has picnic tables and is surrounded by plants. The bakery is exposed in the back and I kind of think there's something exciting and cool to see a few people working diligently to make these fine pastries while you're waiting for your coffee to be prepared. Near the bathroom and coffee pick up spot, you'll find a bulletin board for various community outreach flyers which sort of speaks to the culture of community of this cafe. The staff is extremely kind and helpful... and didn't flinch when I told them that I wanted to order my husband a coffee who likes caramel macchiatos from Starbucks... they suggested a caramel vanilla latte and husband loved it!!! Fresh Flours is located on a small strip in/near White Center where a few other unique businesses reside. It is definitely worth checking out as you might walk by somewhere else that you need to try... like the adorable thrift shop or fry bread place just doors down!

TLDR: off-putting bugs. average pastries. First and foremost. The flies hovering about in the lobby area just in front of the registers is very off-putting---especially when considering the fact that all the pastries are just sitting out in the open. I mean, the flies were just drunkenly swirling around and around next to me while I was staring at the pastries and seriously debating if I should turn tail and run. Upon closer inspection, I saw small gnats frolicking about on the pastries behind the human spit shield. Perhaps a pastry case is a better investment here rather than a single plastic panel barrier for humans. Regardless, I ordered stuff anyway, thinking I could probably use the free protein (haha). Chocolate Croissant: Uhhh. I think it should just be called "croissant". there was a small chunk of chocolate in there but 95% of it was just croissant. The chocolate was just "ok" tasting and was nothing to write home about. Texture was ok but wasn't light and spongy like I expected. It was a bit on the flat and dry side. Green Tea Adzuki Bean Muffin: hearty and dense. The matcha flavor wasn't too overpowering and it was very filling. The red bean inside added a nice texture and flavor. Nothing really wowed me here and I definitely didn't get the "Fresh" vibe when I was here.

Super cute place with a variety of great sweet & savory pastries! Fresh Flours offers the standard selection of coffee drinks and their pastries range from muffins, croissants, cookies, coffee and basque cake to food items like hand sized burritos and sandwiches. I stopped by for a quick breakfast and loved the sausage mushroom pithivier - reminded me of a pate chaud but breakfast version. The ham and cheese croissant was flakey and crispy, also a great choice. I wanted to get something sweet too but couldn't choose so my partner got a peach danish to split. They have pretty unique things like the double baked croissant, matcha muffin, and an azuki croissant. I'd def come back to get other pastries next time! I enjoyed my latte and felt it came out quickly. Customer service was patient while trying to make our selections and offered to warm up the pastries, which I really appreciate since I wanted to eat in the car haha. They have their own small parking lot but street parking is also available. I saw there was an outdoor courtyard that one could sit and sip. I'd recommend to come try if you're in the area!

My favorite bakery in Seattle! I visit the SLU and phinney ridge location most often but I stumbled across this location on a weekend. I had the chocolate croissant, chocolate & walnut cookie, and Nutella & banana bun! Everything was really delicious. Also went next door to check out the art exhibition that have new showings very month from artists in the community. Support local artists! 100% would recommend fresh flours!

Wonderful service and amazing pastries! A coworker had brought some in one day I happened to grab the red bean croissant and I decided that I wanted to visit the bakery myself! I got the ham and cheese croissant, Kouign-Amann, chocolate croissant, and the strawberry rhubarb galette my first time there. The ham and cheese croissant was so soft, so savory, so delicious! My friend who normally doesn't gravitate to croissants really loves this! The strawberry rhubarb galette tart was not too sweet, you can taste both the strawberry and the rhubarb and the pastry was flaky! The Kouign-Amann was so soft and the crust was perfectly crunchy, and slightly sweet despite being covered in sugar. The chocolate croissant is everything you expect it to be, soft and chocolatey, just delicious! My second time I decided to try a Sausage Mushroom Pithivier and a Basque Cake. I cannot stop thinking about the Pithivier! So savory, you can taste the flavorful sausage and the mushrooms and the crust was so buttery and flaky! The Basque cake was just delightful. I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! Come early as they do tend to form a big line outside ;)!

Blueberry Muffin is the best I've ever had so far so moist and the perfect sweetness I just finished my green tea muffin it's ok I don't really like Green Tea. Reason I got it is because they were out of Blueberry Great place.. and check out the back patio

I had stopped by another local bakery to get pasteries for a social Brunch hang, but they hadn't had savory options, so I popped over to Fresh Flours to see what they had. I was not disappointed. I didn't get any coffee so I can't speak to that (but I saw that everyone had brought their own cup or mug, so I assume there's a reusable cup discount), but the pastry case was packed with both sweet and savory. I saw vegan options as well. I grabbed a Savory Scone with mostly ham and onions, as well as a swiss cheese and caramelized onion croissant. My partner wasn't feeling well, so I grabbed him one of his favorite things, a Chocolate Croissant. Even if you aren't eating it there, ask for the Chocolate Croissant to be warned up a bit. It's fantastic, but if it isn't warmed up it's just chocolate sticks. The savory treats were scrumptious and I highly recommend both of them for any quick and easy brunch snack.

Quite a spread, let the spread of the attached photos tempt you more than any reaching prose. Proper flaky croissants, sweet peachy pastries, looking like sunnyside eggs floated on flaky boats. On an experimental note, a red bean green tea muffin. An exotic stretch, reaching almost to savory. While I'm a strong fan of both red bean sweets, mung beans, green tea etc.... this was was a bit of a crumbly disappointment. Go for the classics, well accomplished

We walked here with the dog and kids. No dogs are allowed inside. We sat outside and the staff dried off the furniture because it had recently rained. Overall, great food, coffee, and service. Kids loved it. I loved it. Definitely coming back.

One of my favorite bakeries in Seattle for savory treats. Buttery, shattering ham & cheese croissant? Yes please! Ham and cheese biscuits, sausage pithivier, spinach & caramelized onion croissants croissant...all delicious. Fresh Flours also knows how to do a scone, which means a crunchy exterior. If you happen to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm", you will know what I mean when I take issue with a "muffin scone." Thankfully no muffin scones at Fresh Flours! They also do great coffee and a silly little drink I happen to like called Chagaccino (yes, a mushroom drink). Breakfast tacos and other non-pastry items round out Fresh Flours offerings. My only complaint is the savory pastries sell out too fast!

I have had the pleasure of buying pastries and coffee here twice (so far) and been very pleased with the quality and taste of both! Love the name!

Their fresh cookies did not disappoint. They tasted so good and just melted in my mouth. I'll definitely be going back.

Wanted to branch out from my regular Bakery Nouveau croissants and try the ones here, and I'm glad to say, I wasn't disappointed! I actually liked these ones a bit more because I didn't feel sick or overwhelmed after eating all of it in one sitting (not ashamed to admit this). I will say, there isn't much difference between the regular and chocolate twice backed almond croissant (except a crumb of chocolate inside) so order either one of their supply is low. Will be going back to try their other goodies! Heads up: There was a line outside of the shop when I went so plan ahead and go early if you're going on a weekend!

The staff is always friendly. The dog is always welcome. The patio is comfortable. The pastries are BOMB. Basque Cake or Pecan Croissant for sugary treats, but the Pithivier is my true favorite. Butter and carmelized onions and sausage inside a perfect flaky crisp puff pastry shell. So so delicious.

WOW this bakery is amazing!!! I had the best almond croissant of my life here. It was perfectly flaky and you could see the butter in between its layers!! Absolutely going to be back to have it again, and to try more of their pastries! I also got an iced oat milk mocha which was also delicious!! Plus with friendly staff it makes this a 5/5 place.

I stopped in today after having it on my to-do list for quite a while. I had checked their online ordering tool before going in to make sure they had something I'd want; many of their pastries were not available, but I went in anyway. No tables inside, not sure if they had them before COVID or not, so please take your stuff and go. If you'd like, there's a small courtyard you may sit in outside if you'd like. Behind a half-wall, pastry chefs are hard at work to make all sorts of delicious goodies steps away in a space much larger than the actual storefront. I ordered a 16oz mocha and an almond croissant, which was a little over $10. The mocha wasn't the best I've ever had, but was a touch above average. Where I fell hard and fast though was the almond croissant. Covered in powdered sugar, this sizable, flakey delight had the perfect amount of shaved almonds and almond goo, and was such perfection that it has now set bar high for all future almond croissants to live up to. I would say this visit was really more of a 3.5 star trip, but that's not an option. The croissant was easily worth 5 stars, but the mocha was average and, while the staff were friendly, they didn't do anything to write home about.

I've been meaning to go here for awhile now and finally arrived yesterday. Bought a selection of items including the twice-baked chocolate almond croissant, kouign amann, savory pithivier, a chocolate almond and a green tea tea cookie. Let's start with the twice baked chocolate almond croissant. I gave it 15 seconds in the microwave and it was delicious. Can't say it differs much from Bakery Nouveau though except for the shape. The amann was buttery and had great flavor, but the lamination of the pastry wasn't quite what I would have liked. I've seen twice as many air pockets and layers at another patisserie in Phinney Ridge. As far as the tea cookies, even though they felt soft to the touch, they tasted dry, if you can figure that one out. I couldn't discern the almond at all in the chocolate almond cookie and I wish they had used a chocolate with greater depth. The green tea cookie was for me much too strong. I like green tea but I'm sorry, this cookie tasted like a cross between seaweed and fish water. I tried another bite maybe 15 minutes later and thought the same thing. Such a shame because the cookies were absolutely beautiful in shape and color. The most unfortunate was the savory pithivier. Since I was doing this Yelp review, I pulled apart the two halves to see the filling inside. This particular croissant is filled with italian sausage, leek, onion, mushroom and mozzarella. As a picture shows, there was barely a scant tablespoon of filling. So, so disappointing. I could tell before I pulled it apart that this was probably going to be the case because the pastry felt so light. Also, it was nearly a puree of all of these things versus a nice dice inside the wonderful croissant dough. Not worth the $4.25 whatsoever unless they were to put two more tablespoons of filling inside to make it worth the money. I would go back to try different things, but I wouldn't race back. Also didn't know it was a chain so perhaps that may have some basis for why things weren't exceptional.

Honestly, one of my favorite places. I love their espresso and chai. They have a specialty pastry that I can't shout out because it sells out fast. I hope they add it to the regular menu so I can share with everyone the greatness. Lol The best part is the Baristas are all so nice and accommodating. This cafe has become a weekly staple in my life and a great start to my mornings.

Delicious combination of flavors in a pastry. It hit the spot for me in the morning- the dough was flakey enough only made a bit of mess with each bite. Currently can't sit in restaurant, though has some outside seating, but isn't great for rainy days.

They used to have such a great staff, but now they have the "Mean Team" in the morning. Still great pastries.

4.5 stars! Someone told me that this place makes matcha muffins and I immediately made the trip here. This is a super cute bakery/cafe in White Center and they make amazing pastries! I went early in the morning before work to pick up some matcha muffins and other goodies. There was a lady ahead of me who bought two boxes full of delicious looking pastries. She literally bought one of everything! I was worried there wouldn't be any left for me! I picked up the last two matcha muffins plus an almond croissant and a black sesame cookie and a matcha cookie. And also a matcha latte. (I really really like matcha!) The pastries were delicious! The matcha muffins was yummy and not dry at all and it had adzuki beans in it too, which was a nice addition. My coworkers really liked the muffins too. The almond croissant was amazing. I devoured that one. And the cookies were good too. Shortbread style but with plenty of flavor. Everything was tasty and I'm sure that their other pastries are just as good. I can't wait to go back and try more. Service was friendly and the place looked good for hanging out to study or work or just read a good old fashioned book. I want more matcha!!!

Fantastic bakery in white center. Delicious and great local service. Simply delicious.

Fantastic coffee. Great vibes. Extremely friendly staff. Wonderful outdoor patio for getting work done or reading a book while you sip your coffee. Add a slice of coffee cake for an extra lovely time!

This is my favorite coffee shop of all time. You cannot beat their fresh made pastries and good coffee. I always leave Fresh Flours with a smile on my face. My go to is always their daily brewed tea or an iced Mocha. Pastry wise I'm a big fan of their quiche and chocolate croissants.

Really nice selection of pastries and always friendly neighborhood service. Like the choice of good local brewed coffee as well.

Amazing selection and extremely friendly staff! Absolutely love it here. The double baked almond croissant was soooooo yummy and the chai tea latte was decent (: I'd say the flavors weren't too overwhelming, but also not completely bland. Just right for me!

This place is AMAZING. I come to the Fresh Flours in White Center every morning for my 12 oz latte and occasionally I get biscotti. I am very picky about my biscotti, and Fresh Flours never disappoints! Their biscotti is the perfect texture, and the perfect flour to nut ratio. I always bring my dog, Cleo. They keep treats inside for dogs which Cleo sniffed out immediately. She is always excited to come along and visit Fresh Flours with me. There is an outdoor seating area in the back. The employees are truly amazing. I don't know how they do it-they're constantly insanely busy, especially now with online ordering. They're still very nice to people like me who refuse to order online and walk in to order. One girl always recognizes us and says hi. Cleo always loves the employees, especially when they come out from the counter to say a special hello to her. I don't generally order a pastry, but I have tried the red bean and green tea muffin, as well as the chocolate croissant, and there are no words to express how amazing they were. They occasionally have tea cookies which are to die for. I highly recommend this place.

Reliably excellent coffee, chai and pastries. Which is what Seattleites have come to expect from Fresh Flours. But the White Center Fresh Flours sets itself apart with spacious outdoor seating within a charmingly landscaped enclosed patio. You have room to relax, stretch out and enjoy your morning (or afternoon!) coffee break.
