Mon Chou

Stopped by this new French bakery and was pleasantly surprised. I loved how bright and airy the space feels. The offer a variety of food options includes your iconic French pastries, eclairs, baguettes and sandwiches. They even had some Buche de Noel 🥹✨ Coffee was good as well. I wonder if they are still in a "phased" opening...I wasn't a fan of using paper plates, the space is still a bit bare and they don't really have a menu 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, I'm keeping an eye out and will be back for sure!

Pastries and coffee are great. The decor is very pretty.

Glad to see a new cafe open where Top Pot previously was. The staff are friendly, and it’s spacious with plenty of seating. Ordering wasn’t as friendly — the lack of a menu and pricing on the baked goods leads to some sticker shock at the register as they are on the more expensive side for a cafe. The latte unfortunately fell short of expectations, especially given the price. With the understanding that it’s newly opened, I look forward to seeing the experience change as they establish themselves.

Super cute new coffee and pastry cafe! Their coffee is terrific and food was hard to choose from since everything looked to delicious!

Really nice staff. The pastries and coffee are delicious and the atmosphere is very inviting and comfortable.

The pastries are all delicious and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. It's also very accommodating for families. If you're looking for a traditional French bakery, look no further.

Great new addition to QA! The pain au chocolate and chocolate éclair were both really good. There was a wide selection of pastries that you can’t get at other nearby bakeries. Friendly staff and tons of seating options.

Really happy to see a new business go in and wanted this new coffee shop and patisserie place to be great but was a little disappointed. Maybe it’s because it’s new but there is no menu for drinks or baked goods and no pricing. I suppose you could always ask but it’s a little weird to the customer in a position to have to ask for the pricing of all the individual items. I’m not surely where their items are procured as it doesn’t say, but they looked better than they tasted for us which was a shame. Coffee was okay. Felt quite expensive. Hoping these are just teething issues as with some small improvements I’d be a regular.

I meandered through my former Seattle neighborhood atop Queen Anne, to enjoy the tail end of autumn foliage. The former Top Pot location at 4th Ave W & W Galer St has opened yesterday as Mon Chou (10/31/25). Currently, there are French pastries and desserts with beverages available. They are open at 7am until 2pm, or until baked goods are sold out. These are baked fresh daily in Madison Park. Eventually, they will be able to do onsite small batch baking as the space evolves behind the front counter. Plentiful indoor seating: community table, banquette seating, and limited outdoor two top sidewalk tables. Bright, airy interior with lots of natural light. Other deets: WiFi available, limited outlets. Coffee beans are from Fulcrum. Street parking & on Metro bus 2 route. Caffe Vita is down the street (healthy competition). Walking distance from Kerry Park & W Highland and main throughfare, Queen Anne Ave N. Compostable plates & cups at the moment. With the plethora of coffee/pastry shops & cafes in Seattle, what did I try? *16oz mocha ($7.40) *Pain au Chocolat ($5.99) *Savory Quiche ($9.29) With tax & tip, nearly $27! I'll call it Seattle priced for today's economy. Mocha was okay, just did not hold its temp, especially since I sat right by the front window. It was nice to be asked my milk preference though. Pain au chocolat had soft lamination and two chocolate batons. Sorry no cross section photo...did not want to brutalize the pastry with a compostable knife. Savory quiche was a bit unwieldy despite being provided an actual fork. It is shallow in height, eggy of course with tiny cubes of ham. I was onsite for nearly 90 minutes. It was a plus to see the counter staff be very welcoming and well informed. It was just me, several takeouts, and curious neighborhood inquiries initially. But as time went on, more folks chose to remain onsite to dine, have convos, and to read. Not a laptop in sight. Solid 4 to 4.5 stars, rounded to a 5. Pleasant corner cafe with French flair and quality!

Great location. Lots of indoor seating for groups of all sizes. Staff is friendly. The pastries are good but their offerings were limited. Atmosphere is chill. Very cute neighborhood cafe. I wish they would have a posted menu for their drinks and potential other offerings. Street parking only.

$5 espresso shot served in paper cup $9 quiche served on paper plate and plastic fork (had to eat with hands) Not sure if this is a soft open or what but, found it very odd there were no dishes , the baked items looked good but overall confused And the quiche was served mostly cold Left a lot of room for improvement as they get established

My new go to spot to work! Great coffee and excellent pastries. The staff was above and beyond.

By far the best bakery in Queen Anne. Hopefully, they will soon give Rosellini bakery in N Ballard a run for best in Seattle. Loved the atmosphere. They took the good stuff from the previous tenant, simplified it and created a pleasant and spacious atmosphere. The coffee was very good, had a cappuccino. Could be improved by a darker roast or shorter pull. The lemon cake was a bit too sweet, but still very good. The eclair was moist and not overly sweet. Service was excellent and very approachable. I'll be back multiple times. Please support this bakery... One note for the owners and I realize they may not have the kitchen for it, but would be so nice to add croque madame to the menu.
