The location, people, ambiance and coffee is amazing! So perfect for a nice, sunny Sunday morning. There are a few outdoor tables.

This place was wonderful. Last day of visiting Seattle and we stayed in Beacon Hill. I decided to go early and pick up pastries for everyone so I got a variety. I immediately knew I wanted one of each of the fruit danish and they did not disappoint. The croissant part was flaky and delicious and the fruit tasted like it had just been sliced with no extra sugary glaze on top that you sometimes find other places. I also got the savory pithivier (my favorite), some chocolate almond croissants and a blueberry muffin. The staff was super friendly and helpful as were the customers who seemed to enjoy making suggestions and watching me overspend on pastries. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle!

I love Fresh Flours on Phinney and was excited to check out this location in Beacon Hill. Unfortunately my croissant didnt feel super fresh, it was soft, moist and lackluster even though it was 8am on a Saturday. I was really disappointed. Service was ok. Lovely colorful tables and chairs outside.

I come to fresh flours every Sunday. If you order online 15 minutes before pick up, you can walk right in and skip the line! Their pastries are absolutely divine. I highly recommend the cinnamon roll (only available on weekends) and their bacon quiche. You really cant go wrong with any order though. Very friendly batistas too! Excellent food and friendly faces!

This cafe is in a nice location. At 8am on a Sunday we were able to park close by on the street. The coffee and tea selection is good, and the pastry selection is small but high quality. The twice baked chocolate almond croissant was delicious. The raspberry coffee cake was rich but somewhat dry. We sat outside on the sidewalk which was extra wide and surrounded by nicely kept plants. No seating inside at this time.

Nice coffee shop! Friendly service. No masks *required.* I ordered a warm green tea latte and it was just right! 🤤 My only complaint is that there is ZERO comfortable seating. 😅 I hope they will add comfortable seats in the future!

The twice baked Croissants here are the absolute best. If you get the almond one it has almond paste inside, but if you get the chocolate it has both chocolate and almond paste. You know it’s a good croissant when it makes a flakey mess everywhere and they always do here.Fresh Flours is a great place to feel like you’re in Europe the entirety of our miserable 2020.

I forgot to tip ! I will leave a double tip next time I’m in. Had a breakfast burrito, pastry, and a coffee. All were very satisfying. Staff was so nice and welcoming.

Nice outdoor seating. Good service. Great variety of freshly baked pastries. The Bacon Quiche is delicious! They offer Stumptown coffee. The croissants are very soft and semi-flaky. Must try the peach danish, perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

Its our tradition to get pastries here weekly. So glad to have it in the neighborhood. Every single pastry weve tried has been delicious. My favorite is the pear danish and the hazelnut coffee cake. Love that it is open early too!

A small neighborhood cafe in North beacon hill. I loved their green matcha latte and also the tea time cookies which come in 3 flavors. I tried the almond one and absolutely loved it. Their coconut mango macaroon are a must try.

I personally think this is the best place to get pastries in Seattle. It feels like your neighborhood bakery and I find myself coming here once a week.

If I lived in Seattle Id have a serious addition to this place. The pastry is SO fluffy, fresh... Its just perfect. Try the ham and cheese croissant, it is the perfect breakfast to go with a coffee or latte

Review №15

They have a wide variety of pastries, as well as fresh and refrigerated sandwiches, and some bottled drinks and snacks. The croissant and London fog were delicious. They also have chai mixes, Miir mugs/travelers, and whole bean coffee for sale. I bought a couple stickers because their logo/mascot is so cute.They did act a little unfriendly towards my friend he went back in for a 3rd time after wed been sitting outside (1st for a drink + sandwich, then a pastry, and finally a mug)--as if they thought him strange for not thinking of everything he wanted up-front. Ill chalk it up to those particular employees and whatever kind of day they were having, though.

This little shop has a great location, close to the train station and bus stop. They offer various coffees and hot drinks, as well as a variety of freshly baked goods. A perfect place to sit and talk with a friend, or use to your laptop. A display of local art adorns the walls.

Me and my partner enjoy going in a few times a week in the morning. Its nice and has a good vibe. The people are always friends and the music is always good, yet sometimes nostalgic. Its kinda started off our transition as they get ready to go to bed after work and I wake up getting ready for work.

Cozy and comfortable. Great food to go with the coffee and its rarely crowded. So if you want to relax at some place in the morning while on your way to work, or want a nice snack, then this ought to be the first place you go.

Every time I taste a new pastry, I think to myself- “This is the best -insert pastry here- that I’ve ever tasted.” But don’t go and take my word for it, I want all the pastries for myself😋 Also, the green tea lattes are so good!

I think Fresh Flours have some of the best pastries in town. Usually the staff are very friendly even in difficult times. But this morning, Sat. December 19th, the cashier was extremely rude to me and my friend. I totally understand COVID-19 prevention guidelines but they could at least be courteous to their customers instead projecting their angry towards us. This isnt the first time I have had horrible customer services at this location.

I 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 contained in a cup.

What a nice atmosphere for a meal. I was taken here for my birthday and they didnt disappoint. I had a pasta dish that was excellent. My friend had a lamb dish that looked perfect and im vegetarian. I only docked the one star because after the main course, our waiter all but disappeared. Luckily he had a great attitude. If i were rich, I would be a regular!

Love this place! All the things that are good about an independent coffee shop. I arrived today from SeaTac airport, bags in tow. I immediately felt comfortable, got info re the wifi, used the comfortable, clean washroom. The coffee was delicious and so was the quiche that I took with me for dinner. Wonderful!

Great pastries that seem to be part French and Japanese. Its kinda load and busy, so it wasnt the kind of place you would work or study. It would be the perfect to hang out with friends if the space was a bit larger, but it was pretty busy and cramp when I went so its probably not always like that.

Awesome little pastry shop with delicious coffee and baked goods. I usually go here for their green tea lattes and my boyfriend really enjoys their coffee. However, we both really enjoy the pastries that are here. Light, flaky, and delicious pastries are available and they are not the super sweet kind that you get from most places. Also, they are always fun flavor combinations! Staff has been professional and helpful every time i have gone in. Great place if you want a small brunch snack and good atmosphere.

Review №53

The pastries are fantastic! I got a peach danish and loved it! Their coffee is also pretty decent. One thing I would say though is that this coffee shops draws in a pretty white crowd, especially for being on Beacon Hill. Might not be the most welcoming environment for other folks because of that.

Review №56

The first time I went to this shop the workers were extremely rude to me. I chucked it up to them being busy so I decided to give it one more try. Came in today to help small businesses and ordered a coffee. The barista was nice to the customer in front of me but was rude to me. Now I worked in the serving industry so I know that workers deserve to be rude to mean customers but I’m far from being a rude or entitled customer. I had my order ready said please and thank you and had a smile on my face. But I’m 100% positive that this shop tries to carry this rude esthetic or something. Because I have no idea why their staff is so rude. I will never come here again.

Review №57

Oh where do I start. The coffee is great. The green tea latte is my favorite. I love anything matcha and that green tea latte has just the right taste and it is not sweet. Their bakery items are always a pleasure to eat. I do really want to try all of them and have gotten close, but I do have some favorites. I have been to two of their locations and the staff are always nice and happy to serve. I love the fact that they put up local artist in their coffee shops. It is always a great place to go

Ive been regularly going to Fresh Flours for about 8 months now, and its become one of my favorite places Ive found in 2017. Their pastries are delicious, and well worth the price compared to other coffee shops. Personal favorites are the Twice Baked Chocolate-Almond and recently, the Basque cake. The staff are the perfect balance between friendly and low-key, which you need before your cup of coffee at 6 am. Tip: go at 4:30 to get half-off their baked goods, and bring them home to that special someone.

Cute spot. Love the matcha azuki muffin and mini banana bread. (Skip the macaroons, tried the yuzu one, all I taste was sugar).What makes this bakery apart was the local art! The store branded miir cups they sell have cute illustrations.Cozy & artsy local spot.

Fresh Flours is a gem on Beacon hill! I love this modern bakery/coffee shop. Its small and cozy, and their staff are very friendly and provides quick service. They have seating and good wifi as well. A good place to catch up with friends or sit down and get some work done.Their coffee is great and they also have oat milk as an alternative (which I am obsessed with, oat milk lattes!!). You cant leave your order with just coffee - you have to try their pastries! They have beautiful and delicious sweet and savory pastries - you CANNOT GO WRONG with any of them. Ive tried their Ricotta Raspberry Danish which had the perfect balance of sweet and tartness. Their Basque cake has this really cool top and a custard base - how can you not try this. My favorite so far is their pithivier (savory) - which is a round puff pastry pie filled with mushrooms and onions. Give any of their pastries a try - you wont be disappointed.

Review №63

Coffee is decent but service is awful. Been there 3 times, all 3 times I got the impression it was an inconvenience for me to be getting coffee there. They forgot my girlfriends sandwich, and when she checked on it after waiting for 15 minutes they gave her attitude like she was the one who forgot to cook it. When it was ready they left it on the counter and didn’t say anything.

Review №83

Great spot. A bit difficult to get to by driving. However if youre on the bus line or rail to get here then its 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 youd 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.Its 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 youll find that at any cafe. So its universal and be prepared.There are sandwiches offered and created by Tres Sandwich. They are a Japanese sandwich shop in Bellevue and theyre amazing.Enjoy a cup of good java or tea and have a great time here.

If I could give a 0 I would. My daughter went in for the 1st time and bought their lemon cookies. We shared some and within 2-3mins she was having an allergic reaction! There was NO label and NO signs in the business. She i extremely allergic to peanut/pecans. I took her to urgent care and thank god shes ok. I contacted the owner the next day and she was very sorry. She asked what she could do. I thought that paying for the urgent care bill of $50 was fair. She agreed. I sent her the invoice, but she wanted more information so there could be an investigation! WHAT! My daughter got sick from THEIR UNLABELED LEMON COOKIES and now shes making me feel like Ive done something wrong. Shes very lucky the reaction wasnt worse! Dont go here people! They dont care about our community or people!

I left a cash tip in the jar but the barista didnt notice and called me out on not leaving a tip on the square machine. Totally ruined my experience of what could have been a 5 star visit.
