We were in Seattle for the weekend and hadn't had breakfast hence stopped by randomly at this cute little cafe that was on our way. We shared an oatmeal cookie and cappuccino. The cookie was so delicious, it had that homemade taste stuffed with raisins, cranberries, nuts! The lady was friendly and warm and she was running the kitchen on her own and we felt as if we had stopped by at her house for coffee time :) . Nothing like feeling at home in a cafe, right? What a lovely spot this place is. We didn't have time to try the other breakfast and brunch items but I would love to return if I'm back to Seattle again. Very well located, small and cozy feel with a store attached where you can buy items from all over Europe. Great affordable prices. Don't miss trying this spot - it will make your heart happy and warm just like it did with mine :)

All of the rest of the reviews are pretty much correct. I've been in when the chef/cashier was getting pastries out of the tabletop oven and swearing to herself, "Burned them again!" The hours are unreliable. This is not a well-financed business and help can be out. I get a large hot tea, for which they stuff gourmet tea into tea sacs. There are tables for lunch -- seating for 6 -- with plastic covers tacked over their tops. There used to be a fondue lunch once a month. I don't know whether that's still going. But it's not the food or the convenience or the hours or the fondue or the chocolates imported from Switzerland that made me a daily customer when I worked downtown. It's the adventure and joy and kindness of someone trying to make a go of it and welcoming gratefully every customer with a cheap CD player playing hits from the '70's. It's the suspense of whether the pastries will come out well this time. It's friction-full interface of lovely accepting proprietors tending to the young tech diaspora of Indian, Chinese, French, and Russian software engineers and project managers. I love it.

Great little place. The flourless almond torte is delicious, and there are plenty of places to have a chat with a friend or coworker. The workers are friendly, and the store is darling.
