Storyville Coffee Queen Anne

Visited this cafe couple of times. Since the first time trying their cinnamon roll and latte, I fall in love with the mixed of both stuffs. I like the location too and it's pretty spacious inside. They also gave me free chocolate sponge cake to try. So generous! One of my favorite coffee place in Seattle!

A wonderful coffee shop on Queen Anne. If you are like me, I like working from coffee shops. Storyville has huge windows with plenty of light which makes it a very productive place to do some work. But that's not even the best thing. Their staff is amazingly nice which creates a great environment. Also while I was sitting doing work, they offered me a piece of chocolate cake.... Who can say no to cake?!

A delicious mocha, made me smile on this dreary day. The staff was pleasant and efficient. The store is real pretty and the windows are perfect for people watching. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating; with a combination of tables, bar and sofas. There’s several pastries to choose from, the chocolate croissant was not a winner as it was hard and missing its chocolate.

Good espresso, good latte, and good breakfast sandwiches. I recommend the one with pesto rather than the cheddar because the one with cheddar is a little dry. Nice atmosphere. Street parking or parking a block away in the Towne Center underground garage past the Safeway.

Coffee + atmosphere amazing. Enough space and not too much noise for you to enjoy and work on your own. The service here is also superb. Sat alongside the window since I love to people watch. Such a great little place.

Wow. I just had one of the smoothest and most flavorful lattes I've ever tasted. I love that they make all thier own natural sugar syrups. The Carmel Heart pastry I had with my coffee was bliss. It was flaky and sweet without being overly sweet. I will be back!

Comfy/modern coffee shop! Great breakfast sandwich & cappuccino. Cute lemon cake. Great service. Moderate-pricey.

Amazing coffee shop. Great ambiance with cool fireplace and great coffee. We had the almond croissant and the breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious and high quality. This is our new top coffee shop!

As The Famous Chef Thomas, I have traversed the globe in pursuit of culinary excellence, yet it was in the heart of Seattle, at Cafe Hagen, that I discovered a breakfast experience so divine, it transported me to the cobblestone streets of Paris. The star of the show was the egg breakfast skillet--a symphony of flavors sizzling in cast iron. Within its embrace, a harmonious marriage of cheese and mushrooms danced upon a canvas of perfectly cooked eggs, each bite a crescendo of savory indulgence that left me longing for an encore. But the feast did not stop there. A side of smoked salmon, tender and delicate, added a touch of maritime elegance to the tableau, while fresh-baked bread, warm and fragrant, provided the perfect vessel for savoring every morsel of this culinary masterpiece. As I sipped on a velvety latte, crafted with care and precision, and indulged in a blueberry cheese danish so heavenly, I could almost hear the whispers of La Ville-Lumière. Each bite was a journey through the streets of Paris, where flavors mingled with memories, creating a tapestry of culinary bliss. At Cafe Hagen, the artistry of breakfast is celebrated with reverence and finesse. From the rustic charm of the cast iron skillet to the delicate allure of smoked salmon, every detail is thoughtfully curated to transport diners to a realm of gastronomic delight. It is a testament to the magic that can be found in the simplest of morning rituals--a reminder that the perfect breakfast has the power to transcend time and place. Truly, Cafe Hagen is a culinary gem that shines brightly amidst the bustling streets of Seattle--a destination worthy of The Famous Chef Thomas's highest acclaim.

I just had a glorious and unusual brunch at Cafe Hagen. It was my first time visiting the tiny but pleasant space on Queen Anne. You order at the counter, get a number, and choose a seat from among the smaller tables and counter seats. The weekend brunch was simple and delicious! You choose between bacon, sausage, and mushrooms. I picked the bacon today but will try the mushrooms next time. It came beautifully arranged on a board with small bowls of scrambled eggs, a seeded half-avocado, hard cheese, honey-drizzled grapefruit, toasted bread, and a lovely danish heart waffle with folded into a bowl with strawberry sauce and what I think was clotted cream. What a delight!

So cute and hella hygge vibes!!! I love how much Scandinavian/nordic cafes are popping up in seattle and Cafe Hagen has amazing aesthetics!!! Great spaces inside to work or catch up with friends. There's also a great outdoor covered patio area if you are looking for outdoor gathering spaces for smaller group. This latest trip I had some decaf tea but I'm really looking forward to catching some food and coffee drinks next time. There seems to also be a small happy hour menu from 4-6! Def check it out if you're looking for comfy cozy atmosphere!

Cafe Hagen atop Queen Anne at Boston is part of an indie cafe/bakery/roastery family with six Seattle locations: Queen Anne (2), Ballard (Nordic Museum), Pike Place Market (Freya), South Lake Union and on Dexter. Their signature niche "brings the casual yet refined, elegant yet subtle charm of Copenhagen to Seattle" and "a passion to share the best elements of hygge - the cozy contentment and well-being you feel from enjoying the simple things in life." Fascinating Scandinavian mission statements. I am late to the hygge scene and had the opportunity to check it out on 12/26/23 to meet the effervescent Yelp Elite friend, Dawne F, visiting from Florida. After a rainy Christmas, she definitely brought her signature ray of sunshine the day after. Queen Anne neighborhood was bustling with pedestrian traffic soaking in the bright rays. This particular intersection has Cafe Hagen, a long time Starbucks and a Seattle OG from 1994, Caffe Ladro. This location used to be Teacup, Sorrentino's, Firefly, Luminette, Storyville Coffee, and now Cafe Hagen. The popular cafe was packed and the line looked daunting when I arrived. I admired the pastry case, all freshly baked from their production bakery, Freya at Pike Place Market. Many of the laminated pastries are gigantic, as I noted the larger sized pain au chocolat. Thankfully, no uppity hipster barista attitude. Both women handled the customer volume with finesse. I was surprised though that the largest sized espresso beverage was 12 ounces, not 16 ounces. My mocha was on the pricey side, but had lovely latte art, spot on temperature and balanced flavor. I ended up sharing a table with bar seating with two other patrons while awaiting Dawne's arrival. It was a great cafe environment where it was not exclusively a sea of laptops, but definitely with pairs and upward, including family groups enjoying lively conversation. I enjoyed the interior aesthetic and plentiful natural light. Dawne and I enjoyed our two hour meet up with our mocha and iced chai, respectively, at Cafe Hagen.

My partner and I were running errands in the neighborhood and popped in to this spot for our caffeine and pastry fix! I loved the Scandinavian influence, I had the København latte which was really unique and tasty for the gloomy Seattle morning. The pastries are gorgeous (and very yummy), we will definitely be back to further explore this menu!

I found Cafe Hagen on Saturday morning while in Queen Anne for an early morning swim. I had the marble bread and it was some of the best breakfast pastry bread I have ever had. So light and fluffy, and not too sweet. The coffee at these places makes me nervous because I find that most of them use beans that are more bitter than I prefer, but my iced americano was perfect. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have ordered more, but I will be back to get the full experience very soon!

Really cute cafe with warm and cozy vibes. Only tried their banana foster which was so light and creamy and was a great pick me up. The espresso is subtle but it comes through well. Staff are friendly and would love to come back and try their other drinks.

We grabbed a quick cortado and mocha on a Saturday morning. The ambiance was very nice and the restrooms are clean. It was a bit noisy and busy so I would get there early or avoid peak hours.

Atmosphere was incredible, the selection of plants and furniture was great it was like walking into a terraium. I ordered a vanilla latte with a breakfast bun, and i didnt have to wait at all, plus the food was amazing and the staff working were really sweet and nice. 10/10 I am definitely coming again.

Delicious but so outrageously overpriced. 2 lattes and 2 croissants will cost you no less than 25 dollars. I'm not happy about the prices but I'll be back.

I've been to Cafe Hagen quite a few times because it's one of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle! The ambience is really aesthetic and it's a great place to catch up with a friend, play chess, draw, etc. I keep coming back for their seasonal specials - they all taste amazing. Today my friend and I ordered drinks from their fall seasonal menu (brown sugar rosemary latte and a kanel latte) To top it off, the staff is really sweet and brings your coffee to your table super quickly! I would really recommend checking this place out!

I'm definitely glad this place opened up in this neighborhood!! I was impressed by the atmosphere - really quaint inside - lots of greenery. It felt a little crowded in there with all the stuff though. Food was yummy - got the scramble and the prosciutto toast. All the flavors were great and the portion was satisfying. The bread was great! It was a super quaint place to catch up with a friend. Prices were on the higher side. Selection could be a bit bigger.

Special latte was solid. Also loved the cinnamon social, pear creme Brule pastry, and the churro cruffin was especially excellent. Breakfast sandwiches are top-notch.

Excellent spot for breakfast or lunch. But you gotta save room for one of their pastries. I had the blueberry danish and a Scandinavian coffee which were scandalously good.

While the pastries, food and coffee are good, be prepared for a little bit of an attitude from the staff here. My sister in law talked up this place to me and I was just disappointed. The guy taking our order couldn't have been any snootier. We asked a question about a coffee and the way he responded was just mean. It's not the type of attitude you see in Queen Anne. Everyone's actually pretty nice and friendly. If you want to check this place out - then try their avocado toast, seasonal jam waffle and salted caramel latte! They're all pretty good and we took some pastries home to share. There are so many other amazing coffee shops in the area that I would rather frequent. I have heard the other Cafe Hagen location is better. I'll be getting my salted caramel latte from there from now on.

I tried Cafe Hagen in SLU and loved it, so I also had to check out this location when I was in the area! I had a very similar positive experience here. I got the breakfast bun with sausage and loved it. It's a tasty breakfast sandwich, but also light enough to start your morning. I also got a coffee and I love the cute mug they put it in! The bakery items looked so good, so I had to pick one. It was hard to choose, but I ended up getting a rum ball. It had rich and chocolately - yum! I always have a good time at Cafe Hagen, so I'll be back! Can't wait to try more of the bakery items.

I absolutely love coming here, but I don't always love the prices. Luckily you get what you pay for when I do stop by. Even better, the insides are open and cozy enough to bring a laptop and get some work done while enjoying your meal. The lines get long, but they have several places you can review the menu. You will need this time to review the menu as they have many detailed items to pick from. Even when I got to the counter I still needed time lol. So glad their servers are nice and easy to work with. I'll just have to come back again and again to get all they I want. Lol. Fyi, yes the brunch is a bit pricey, but it's filling and comes with a nice selection of yummy foods. So worth it. I do wish it also came with some sort of drink included, but I guess we can't have it all. If you don't feel like spending an arm and a leg for a full meal. A simple drink and pastry will forsure still put a smile on your face. Be sure to enjoy the view of the surroundings as is located in a beautiful upper queen anne neighborhood with a lot to do in the area. A great place to come from a brunch date. Once I came during a street market so I got to explore after.

My friend and I checked out this place on a Friday after work! We wanted quick bites and a place to chat and catch up. We ordered a tiramisu, latte and a espresso martini to start with and then got our mains; cheese and potatoes flatbread, turkey pesto sandwich and a bread assortment to share. It was a perfect place to grab good food and chat for awhile. The place was very well decorated and the staff was very friendly! The food was great as well, although I don't think the bread assortment was that good- the bread was a bit dry and came with balsamic + olive oil and radish. I highly recommend getting the flatbread though! Im excited to try other things on the menu!

This was my second visit to the Cafe. The first time I had cake. It was delicious. The second time, I had breakfast bun with mushroom. The bread is warm. The sandwich is full of comfort things like cheese and other ingredients. It looks small but is packed with calories. The rose and pistachio latte was also delicious. The reason it is not 5* is due to small crammed space.

A very pleasant (and busy!) brunch spot! We ordered an array of sweets plus their danish breakfast(?) and sandwich! The breakfast plate was VERY big, could certainly feed two people with smaller appetites. Personally I was not a huge fan of the waffle, but it was very pretty -- it had a very strong cinnamon/cardamom flavor. The grapefruit + honey combo was so simple and delicious, I'm definitely doing that at home now. Also, we subbed sausage for bacon. All in all a very simple but well made breakfast! All pastries come from a bakery and are not toasted, which is a little disappointing. I ended up taking some of these home and toasting them myself and it is so much better! My favorite was the churro cruffin :)

Interesting cafe club scene here! Parking is two hrs free parking across the street and street parking. Service is great. Chill. Food is amazing for a cafe!

Cool and clean. Lots of regulars, so you know it's a neighborhood favorite. Lots of options to choose from including cocktails. We ordered our standard; dirty chai. Looks like the chai concentrate is made in house and is proprietary to the brand. The right amount of spice and sweet. Espresso was tasteful and smooth. Not the best chai I've ever had, but would definitely recommend the space.

Amazing coffee and cakes here. I found this place based on recommendations from people on Insta, and it did not disappoint. The interior, the coffee, and their service is very nice. Would definitely recommend this place to others. I especially like the interior!

Great local coffee shop in the Queen Anne area! The decor is beautiful and they offer indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee itself is decent, nothing to brag for, but the baked goods are delicious!

Just the most amazing coffee in Seattle The coffee here is smooth, creamy and most importantly not burnt. Yes, it is pricey but then I'm ready to pay extra for quality. I got a mushroom sandwich and the orange cake. And man, it was just so fresh and delicious! The service is prompt at the counter. You have to bus your own table when you're done. Ambiance, well let's just say that I found my next spot to work from. Love the decor and music. Yes, I'm coming back again.. and again here

I absolutely loved the aesthetic of this place! I wish we got brunch here, but I just stopped by for a chai. They also had plenty of baked goods which looked delicious except I was full from brunch earlier. There was a bit of a line when we stopped by, but they were pretty quick in making our drinks. The chai was very flavorful and not overly sweet which I appreciated. I wish I had another chance to stop by because their coffee drinks were very unique and quite intriguing!

Cafe Hagen is such a delight. Definitely one of my top 3 favorite coffee shops in seattle. First discovered it on a romp over to REI. It was a nice day, we had our dog, and they seemed to have plenty of patio seating available. Sooo glad we came. - This is home to my favorite latte in the city (meet kobenhaven latte). Hands down. It's a must as it's creamy, rich, and silky smooth. Never thought the world of lattes could be new and exciting without adding a bunch of sugary syrups. - The ambiance is calming, lots of plants, and has a ton of aesthetically pleasing decor. - There were many brekkie options and most felt clean (not gut busters). I've gotten the breakfast bowl and salad/sandwich combo. Both delightful and very European feeling. - The pastries looked amazing (and somewhat dangerous if you know what I mean?) and when QA opened they were so nice and gave us some stuff to try for free. Note on difference between SLU and Queen Anne location. SLU has a lot more space. QA can feel a little more cramped.

I have been to the other Cafe Hagen locations and have enjoyed their coffee and cute atmosphere. The Upper Queen Anne location has a similar aesthetic to the other locations. I never really noticed their pastry selection before, but the assortment and display were impressive here. I got a cortado, a raspberry filled croissant, the breakfast skillet, and a breakfast sandwich. The cortado was top-notch was and included a shot of sparkling water. The baristas have excellent milk frothing technique. You can't go wrong with any drink: from a specialty drink to a simple Americano. I was also impressed with the croissant. It was amply filled and quite tasty. It's more of a creamy filling than a jam, but I prefer that for a filled croissant. I was not impressed with the smoked salmon breakfast sandwich or the skillet. I have been so spoiled in the PNW with the plethora of high quality smoked salmon around that this smoked salmon fell flat. The bread didn't pair with the salmon in my opinion either, making it hard for me to eat much of the sandwich. The skillet was a bit better, but it still wasn't that tasty or unique that I wouldn't get it again. Overall, I'll definitely be back for coffee and a pastry. I will skip on the other food though.

Don't get me wrong, the food is good (especially the chai latte and Kouign Amann). But if you want all that and a bag of chips, you might as well take yourself to Venture because they sell the same pastries and the space is a bit more welcoming. Also, have to take a star off because this place is so expensive that you will probably end up spending $35+ if you and your honey order two hot drinks and a pastry. That being said, if you willing to splurge, and don't mind a crowded/cumbersome environment (not the amount of people but the atmosphere and the placement of the queue), this place is pretty good. Thanks, y'all!

The coffee here is so delicious! It's about the same price as Starbucks, but you can tell the ingredients are much more complex and better quality here. I got the Kobenhavn Latte and the pumpkin spice latte. The PSL tasted like real pumpkin!! It's not very sweet, but it's very pleasant. The kobenhaven was tasted really good. The server was nice and the ambiance of the place is pretty interesting, honestly the music is a bit loud and poppy and it feels like Dua Lipa is in the room with you.

This is the first time I've stopped into this place since it opened. It will also be the last. Staff seemed cold, tables weren't clean. I asked for my pastry to be heated and it still came out cold and my latte didn't resemble coffee at all. Just warm frothed milk. For these prices you expect the basics to be managed.

Dropped by here recently for lunch and really enjoyed the experience! I got the Kobenhavn latte with oat milk and the red beet and goat cheese salad with a soft boiled egg. The woman working at the register (I think her name is Laur) was very helpful - I can be super indecisive when figuring out what to get, and she was incredibly helpful. She not only explained what went into the Kobenhavn latte, but I got to learn more about the beans (a convo that I surprisingly don't usually have at coffee shops!). I'm also gluten sensitive, so I am super appreciative that she noted that the chicken in the salad was marinated in soy sauce and therefore contained gluten, and glad there was an option to remove the chicken and make it gluten free! The vibes are cute - I liked the decor and the natural light. I look forward to coming back, both for the coffee and for the service :)

So glad to find thebold coffee shop which went out of business during covid was finally replaced with a new excellent coffee shop and cafe. They offer not only the typical coffee menu, but a myriad of bakery goods which come from Freya at Pike Place. Most of the offerings seemed to have a Nordic influence. Especially standing out were the frosnappper and the orange cardamom almond cake. Both are incredible. They also offer hot sandwiches amd salads and a great breakfast/brunch menu equipped with cocktails. A wonderful addition to the upper queen Anne shopping area.

Zero complaints, though it didn't really have the hygge feel I was anticipating. It was more of an upbeat and trendy-feeling place and prices were a little high (like all of Seattle and, well, this is how 2023 has been in general). That said, the atmosphere there is nice, and their outdoor seating area is nice, too. I was happy to see that, even after 11 am on a Saturday, they still had a huge selection of pastries and the churro cronut I ordered was delicious. They have a few pourover coffees on their menu, too, which suited my coffee-elitist husband well. We will definitely be back.

Very cute and cozy coffee shop. I stayed in an airBnb a few blocks away and stopped by to get some work done. Expensive coffee but it was good. Drink came out fast. Free wifi and nice big tables to spread out and do work.

Update: came back to test the food, and I have mixed reviews. Grilled Brie and prosciutto: 2.5/5 - the individual ingredients were great but the overall dish was heavily under seasoned. The prosciutto wasn't salty enough to compensate. There were bites where the fig jam came through, but it felt pretty scant otherwise. Needed a lot more salt/pepper and none was readily accessible. Seed Snapper (bakery case): 5/5 - fantastic. No complaints here. Just want another. Salmon breakfast bun: 5/5 - delicious, no complaints We weren't given utensils at first but they have them behind the counter if you need them. Overall, this place is much more modern and trending towards younger people. Don't have rave reviews, but Cafe Hagen has good things going for it. ... 10/30/22 Stopped by at their soft opening today to get drinks on a Saturday morning. The ambiance is quite modern and the staff are very friendly and prompt. Excited for them to succeed in QA. Pros: - My lavender fog with macadamia nut milk (at their recommendation) was incredibly delicious. I would - come back here just for that. - The staff are friendly and fast; the place is clean and very nice. I'd have to come back to try their food. - The latte was good... not mind-blowing in any way, so I'm interested to see how they'll keep up with Ladro across the street. - Their macchiato was also nice! Cons: - The music is a bit loud (don't know if this is just for the soft opening but I wouldn't consider this a place I'd be excited to study at). - The brunch food didn't amaze for the price I paid.

I love Cafe Hagen! I live in the area so I walk here all the time for coffee, pastries, and sometimes breakfast. The avocado toast and the waffle with seasonal jam are great. All the pastries I've tried have been good, though I wish they'd warm some of them up. I've tried two if the seasonal coffees that sound like they'd taste weird but I've really liked them both (key lime pie cappucino and pineberry latte).

So my husband and I are regulars here but this past weekend (Sunday to be exact around 2:15pm) we went in for our caffeine pick me up. We ordered our usual latte for him and a breve latte for me the gentleman who took our order was new as he needed a little bit of guidance from his fellow co-worker. This is not a big deal at all as everyone needs a little help when starting a new job. Anyways my husband ordered our drinks and I went outside to wait as I had my dogs with me. When we were about a block away I took my first sip and not only was it way too hot but the beans were burnt too. We are espresso snobs and will happily pay a hefty price for great espresso; we know what good, great and terrible espresso tastes like. We know what the temp of the milk should be and the difference between burnt beans and not. I asked my husband how his was and he also said the same...he did say that he noticed that the new guy had made our lattes. We ended up throwing both our lattes away. We should have gone back but we had our dogs with us and they were tired and wanted to go home. We will give this place one more try. To Cafe Hagan I believe when you're asking your patrons to pay premium prices for espresso it should be of the highest quality. I also think you need to have your new people practice, practice, practice until they get the perfect silky consistency of the milk , the right temperature and strain of the espresso. You are doing a disservice to your brand and it's not helping the new person learn.

The waffles were crispy and pulled apart in hearts! Decent food, cute indoor and outdoor seating.

After El Diablo closed shortly after Covid broke out, this has become my favorite cafe-bar, replacing the moribund Storyville. The nice thing is that it has recently expanded its summer hours to be open until 8 or 9 p.m. The inside isn't particularly attractive, the music being much too loud and the space being small, I feel claustrophobic. But the outside sidewalk area is pleasant. One can both work at a table (with rather wobbly benches instead of chairs) and watch the world go by--at least at the corner of Boston and Queen Anne. A happy hour also is nice...mimosas... The iced tea with black currant (blackberry?) I fall back on.

This place was such a pleasant surprise to me. It's nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of Queen Anne ave, where there are already many thriving coffee shops. This one is definitely my favorite in the area. The ambiance is great inside, lots of natural light and fun colors. The coffee itself is fantastic as well. Every latté I've had here has been perfect. I have only tried one of their breakfast sandwiches, but it was also tasty! The only downfall to this place is it is a bit pricy. But, that's Seattle for you!

Not very Danish or Scandinavian but still very tasty coffee and sandwiches. Very popular so a bit hard to find seating but once we did we truly enjoyed the craft coffee and sandwiches.

Come in for coffee, but stay for happy hour and dinner! Coffee drinks are excellent all around (love the chai), but dinner is a wonderful experience. They have a great drink menu and the smørrebrød are not to be missed! Very authentic and completely delicious! We will be back for sure. Feels like Copenhagen.

Highly recommend cafe hagen!! I got an iced matcha latte with lavender added in. This was one of the most delicious matchas I have ever had!! It tasted super fresh and light. I also ordered the pear crème brûlée! Super yummy as well!! The service was efficient. I also loved the vibe inside the cafe, and although I was getting my order to-go I am intrigued to go back and sit inside.

The turkey sandwich was fresh and delicious, and the service was great I will be back.

I'm so glad this new location is here! I looooove the pastries at Cafe Hagen. So crisp and buttery without being overly sweet. The seed bread twist is my favorite!

Love the vibes of this place! Great selection of grab and go breakfast or sit down, and lattes were top notch! The barista was so sweet and said they are now offering cocktails so will have to come back here. Got the blueberry danish and am still thinking about it.

I ate a WONDERFUL lunch here with my family and friends. Their coffee, chai and lunch transported us to another world and created a wonderful and memorable break in the week. Their drinks and food are so far superior to me than other coffee shops. Their service is kind, knowledgeable and friendly as well. We will keep coming back for more!

The coffee was great, the music was AWFUL! It was way too loud and not something that everyone enjoys.

Meh! First and last visit. No menu to take to the table for those with trouble reading the little menu on a flimsy stand. Did not have some things on the menu (hint to restaurant: update your menu). Poor menu descriptions. They give you a number on a stand to your table. When our friend's drink was delivered, she took the numbered stand. Then when the food came out the guy couldn't find where to deliver it to! Ha! At least my coffee drink was almost as good as Starbucks. Music is fine.
