Laurel

This place exceeded my expectations! Very friendly service and they have a huge menu with different types of options and specialty drinks. They stop selling their special drinks after 2 PM. I got the Matcha iced latte with orange syrup, which was very good, subtle compliments in each other well. I don’t think I know another spot that has that. I really enjoyed our 12 ounce cup with their straw. Highly recommend and would come back.

They make an amazing espresso martini with fresh espresso. The price point is modest but the quality is exceptional. There’s a lot of bars that do a mediocre espresso martini—not this bar. Jacob was a great bartender and every cocktail was phenomenal. I highly recommend Laurel!

Went into this charming spot for happy hour. Their tiny tini and caviar presentation was so cute. Loved the spicy pickle tini and their espresso martini. I will be going back to try more.

Cozy vibes and a bar staff who can freestyle with ease. I had a delightful N/A custom cocktail while my friends enjoyed espresso martinis w/ hazelnut and orange. Delicious ✨

The atmosphere. The vibe. This would be the perfect place to bring your sapphic dates to. All of the staff I have met are absolutely lovely and overall this is an amazing place to vibe. Overall the atmosphere is very relaxing. Maybe a little bit upbeat but not loud like a lot of shops. I've had some drinks in the evening here too and they have been fabulous as well.

Such a fun and needed spot in the neighborhood! Light, bright, and a refreshing change from Seattle’s darker bars. Creative, well-balanced cocktails in a welcoming space—perfect for a date or small group. I’ve been four times now and it’s consistently great! Also love their speciality coffees, their beet latte is delicious.

I loved visiting Laurel! This probably isn’t going to help the rep of this place, but I went with my girlfriend to celebrate our recent birthdays turning 21, and wanted to check out a chic and bright cocktail bar. This did the trick for sure, loved the vibes here, had a great spot looking out down olive way and had some well made and tasty drinks from a very nice bartender, who even hooked us up with birthday shots. The place also serves coffee and other drinks, so we will definitely be back to discover more of what Laurel had to offer!

stopped in here with my boyfriend and a few friends for pre-dinner cocktails on sunday. we each had an espresso martini and they were the BEST espresso martinis any of us had ever had. the staff is so nice and knowledgeable. the drinks take a few minutes because they are literally pulling fresh espresso shots to order and shaking those drinks like their lives depended on it. the result is a strong, frothy, deliciously amazing martini. please do yourself a favor and go here!

Still haven't made it in for their evening cocktails, but I came back for another caffeine fix -- and once again, they did not disappoint. The space remains effortlessly inviting: flattering lighting, stylish interiors, and a relaxed buzz that makes it easy to linger. The staff are as friendly and accommodating as ever, and the seasonal drinks are truly hitting their stride. This time, I tried the Pink Cold Foam Latte, and it was a standout -- perfectly balanced between tart and sweet, with just the right cloud of airy fluff on top. The foam is typically paired with their cold brew, but the team was kind enough to customize it for my latte, and honestly, it worked beautifully.

A somewhat new bar in Capitol Hill, which I was convinced to go because it was on InKind and I had some credits to use. I went on a Thursday evening and it was moderately busy, but enough spots for anyone to choose where they want to sit. I got the cookies and cream espresso martini with a cookie, as well as some almonds. $18 for a cocktail is okay, not the best value, not the worst. The cookies and cream espresso martini didn't have much cookies and cream flavor, indistinguishable from a regular espresso martini. The Hello Robin cookie was good but didn't feel representative of an actual Hello Robin Cookie since it's a take and bake, and they upcharge quite a bit as it was $5. I guess they can since it's a bar. The almonds that usually come complimentary at other bars was $6, which felt pricy. They were good quality but given that this is just the base price, it was steep. I'd rather just only get drinks here than rely on some overpriced snacks to supplement my cocktail. Service is okay but I still need to flag down and be proactive for requests. Not representative of their mandatory 20% service charge. Not many places deserve the 20% gratuity as they do the bare minimum these days, so by that logic, it's hard for me to give good reviews for such places. I may check out their happy hour as the pricing feels more fair, but I'd not recommend this place during regular hours pricing.

Got a 16ox cappuccino, a strawberry matcha, and a bacon breakfast sandwich. Had the option to use oat milk instead of the regular milk in both drinks, which was nice. But the most important bit is that they didn't charge me any extra for the oat milk! What a win! The matcha and the sandwich were fresh and very delicious as well. The store is small, cozy, and clean. I came here on a sunny morning, but during a rainy winter season I think this place would come alive even more. Amazing spot. Strongly recommend

Laurel is truly an all-day hidden gem in Seattle in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Need a coffee to start your day? Laurel makes amazing coffee and syrups are made in house. Don't like coffee? They have matcha too, with creative offerings like a strawberry cloud, also made in house. If you need some breakfast too, they also serve the French guy's pastries, which are freshly delivered every morning. Okay, we've made it past the morning. Happy hour? They have cocktails. And beer. And wine. And non alcoholic beverages too, of course! With a happy hour menu that has martinis for just $8, how can you say that isn't the best deal of the century? If you need snacks, they also serve tinned fish and more. Can't come early? No worries. Laurel is open until 2 AM. Everyday. And opens at 8 AM! With free wifi. Tell me those aren't the best hours that gives you ample opportunity to have drinks at any point in the day. Bottom line, you can have a coffee chat here, a coworking session, happy hour, or a date. It's the perfect place for literally everything I can think of. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu items.

Laurel opened yesterday on 1/31/25. I decided to checkout this new indie spot before the forecasted lowland snow (2/1/25). I love the transformation from the two former iterations of Crumble & Flake. Currently, Laurel is offering coffee service and featuring fresh pastries from The French Guys. Cocktail service will be forthcoming. Love the interior and color palette which is enhanced by the abundant natural light. There are two rows of elevated bar counter seating and a corner banquette by the entrance. I lucked out with nearby two hour street parking, so I'm enjoying the overhead music and overall pleasant vibe onsite. Well crafted 16oz mocha and tasty pain au chocolat. Another welcomed addition to Seattle's vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood!

Although the food was good, the most troubling thing is that they added an automatic tip of 20% no matter how good or bad the service was - that's what the waitress is going to get. They take it out of your hands to decide.

this spot is really cute and I like the decor and the location. The service is alright and I really didn't like the coffee. The matcha was alright, I thought the strawberry whipped cream we paid an extra 50 cents to be underwhelming and didn't really add much. But I didn't like any of the coffee drinks, I really disliked the viet coffee --- I guess it's vegan which might attribute to it and I'm just not used to the case but I didn't not like it and will not finish it. I don't know how this could be called viet coffee honestly, super disappointing and not viet approved (imo). The iced vanilla Latte for some reason they made it oat milk without us asking, maybe that's the default? But overall too sweet and not good, lesser tier for me for coffee shops in the area. Maybe the cocktails are better so I'll leave hope for that.

I love the location of this little corner cafe/cocktail bar. The decor is cute and light which is enjoyable to be in. I only tried their coffee and it wasn't my favorite. I ordered a cortado and my friend ordered a vanilla latte. The cortado was better with their espresso which both of us enjoyed. The vanilla latte was a little sour due to that same espresso.

Popped in for a coffee while waiting for the Cassetta pop-up to set up. Both employees were super nice and helpful. Service was far, and the coffee was hot and strong. The place is small;basically a counter on one side and two tops on the other of a long hallway. Cute combination of coffee and pastry shop and a cocktail bar.

The posted hours of Laurel are all over the place, with some sites (including Yelp) stating that they open at 8AM, which they used to, but not anymore according to the barista I talked to. The overall atmosphere of the cafe/bar is great and very cozy.

Really cute new coffee shop in Cap Hill! Super cute interior, and the workers were really nice. I also really enjoyed my nutty cold brew :) would definitely return to try the pastries!

New spot that opens early for coffee and late for cocktails. Got a chance to try the Nisu latte and was very impressed. Limited seating so for coffee too go is the best option. But will be back to try the cocktails.

Friendly efficient customer service. They use Broadcast Coffee for coffee and serve The French Guys pastries. The coffee and pastries are very tasty! The space is really small however it's still cute. I'll definitely be here again and I recommend it if you're on Capitol Hill.

Not open until 2am on a Monday. They need to change their hours. I need to apparently write 85 characters.... I will change this review when the hours are updated and when I can actually come through.
