Whenever weâre in Seattle, Fresh Flours is always our go-to cafĂ©âand for all the right reasons. The moment you step in, youâre greeted with the aroma of freshly baked pastries paired with expertly crafted espresso and non-espresso drinks. Everything tastes intentional and well thought out, which is why it has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the city.
My personal favorite is the cafĂ© latte with lavenderâsmooth, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It pairs beautifully with just about any of their pastries, whether itâs a classic pain au chocolat, a buttery biscuit, or something seasonal from their rotating menu. The pastry selection alone is worth the visit!
The staff here are always professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks they serveâitâs clear they take pride in what they do. Seating options are also convenient: you can choose to relax inside or, on a beautiful day, enjoy the fresh air at their outdoor tables.
The cafĂ© is PWD- and toddler-friendly, making it a great option for families. Parking is free along the street, though it can be a bit tricky to find a spot right in front; sometimes you may need to park 2â3 blocks away. But honestly, the short walk is well worth it once you sit down with your coffee and pastry in hand.
Overall, Fresh Flours offers something refreshingly different from your usual Starbucks run. To my fellow Google Local Guidesâif youâre looking for a cafĂ© with great character, excellent service, and outstanding flavors, this is a...
   Read moreI am sitting at this coffee shop in Seattle, it is a rainy morning in June. Through the large coffee shop windows, I can see mild rain falling on the empty outdoor tables and chairs set outside, the extended umbrellas above the tables yearn for hot summer days. People are coming in and out of the establishment, those who enter are immediately indulged in the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the almost-too-loud indy music from an unknown artist. The chatter is indistinguishable, the couple on the far corner seemed like longtime friends catching up, the gentleman across is sitting alone, copiously tapping his phone, probably wishing his children would call for once. Two older ladies sit by one of the windows, one talks incessantly while the other listens while gazing a people passing by. A mom and toddler girl walk in, the little girl quickly stops by and smiles at me, making the whole scene overwhelmingly memorable. I get up for a coffee refill, the rain stops, the sky is getting brighter, the place becomes a bit quieter. Perhaps time can slow down for a while and then we can pretend the world can be...
   Read moreGreat spot. A bit difficult to get to by driving. However if you're on the bus line or rail to get here then it's easy! Driving then hunting for parking is not fun. The espresso drinks are well made. yes much better than the mega coffee chain. The highlight of this location is the desserts! Amazing! Japanese inspired and created deserts will make you want more and more.
For big eaters. The desserts and pastries are likely to be smaller than you'd expect. So this may be a disappointment for you. Then again a little goes a long way, and this is the case for the pastries at Fresh Flours.
It's got a nice little college vide to it lots of students with their laptops open taking up two tables not giving a care about the space they take up. This can get annoying. In fact you'll find that at any cafe. So it's universal and be prepared.
There are sandwiches offered and created by Tres Sandwich. They are a Japanese sandwich shop in Bellevue and they're amazing.
Enjoy a cup of good java or tea and have a...
