This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee hits you—in the best way. Their coffee is truly exceptional: rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced every single time. If you’re a coffee lover, this place will spoil you forever.

And the Dubai crepe? Wow. It’s a must-try! Light, warm, and filled with the most delicious flavors—sweet, indulgent, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. It pairs perfectly with their coffee and honestly deserves its own fan club.

The service is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and everything they make feels crafted with care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing coffee and a standout Dubai crepe!

Food wasn't good, except the cheesecake

I love that the cafe stays open until 11 pm. It is a life saver for people that need to work late, studying students, or finding something chill to do late at night on a weekend. Their atmosphere so late at night also beats Seattle’s famous seasonal depression.

They have DECAF coffee and my favorite is the decaf cappuccino. For matcha, they use high quality ceremonial grade matcha from Japan and are generous in the strength they put in their lattes. I would say the quality and matcha flavor is on par with Nana’s green tea in Bellevue and it is not a presweetened mix that has sugar mixed into the matcha powder.

Their souffle’ pancakes are my absolute favorite here (and rare to find on the Eastside). I do encourage to order ahead for the soufflés since it is in high demand but most of the time I’ve been able to get one on the spot! I’ve tried every flavor of Souffle pancake and highly recommend the creme brûlée or tiramisu flavor. It is NOT TOO SWEET and very much shareable size.

The nicest thing about this local business is their customer service. Once, while the baristas were very busy, I was accidentally handed the wrong milk kind of latte and before I even drank a sip the barista realized herself and quickly came to apologize, remake the drink, and gave me an onigiri to snack on while I waited. I’ve also noticed that when a customer is seated for studying or chatting, the baristas come to deliver drinks and food to the table so you don’t have to get up! Through supporting this local business, I’ve come to see a lot of the regular staff and the managers. They take their time to chat with customers they’ve only met for the first time and ask how everything is. I love the personal connection, the food, and how any feedback is constantly being incorporated.

The soufflé was the most authentic I’ve had in Seattle — so light and airy! The cream had a hint of yogurt, making it perfectly balanced. Their crème brûlée crêpe is always amazing too — consistent and delicious every time! The drink was a bit sweet but pretty normal here. Super friendly staff and open late — love finding a cozy spot for night owls like me! 😍

I got the banana pudding matcha- it is so good! Matcha is strong, perfect shade of green, & good quality and the banana pudding is amazing. My friend got the latte and cookie which were both really good. Ambiance is very cute and nice to study in. Service was also very nice- they randomly gave me a large when I ordered a medium which was super sweet.

I decided to give The Screaming Parrots a try and I’m so glad I did! Everything on the menu looked so appetizing that it was hard to choose.

I ordered a Dancong oolong latte, a salmon crepe, and a basque mango cheesecake. The drink menu is impressive, they have real tea options like Pu Er, Dancong, osmanthus and Da Pai Hong, not just the usual milk teas. My oolong latte was fragrant and smooth, and the tea flavor really lingered in a nice way. If you like Molly Tea, you should give their tea a try.

The salmon crepe was delicious and a good portion, every bite had plenty of salmon and avocado. The basque cheesecake was also tasty, though I wish the mango and cheese flavors were a little stronger.

The cafe itself is cozy with a relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items next time!

“The screaming parrots” cafe is a nice place to have a light brunch, hang out with friends and relax and it is suitable for everyone. However, today I felt a bit disappointed and confused. I went and ordered a Strawberry Soufflé and a Strawberry Matcha latte.
To begin with, I understand that the main characteristic of a soufflé is that it should be fluffy. Mine was very fluffy and light, but it was undercooked. I really noticed a lot of raw parts.There was a table next to mine where they were eating the same strawberry soufflé, and I could see that theirs was firmer. I approached the waitress, gave her my feedback, and asked her why mine was like that. Although she explained the process of the plate, I was not satisfied with my food and I could not even finish it. I wish they could have done something to improve it or care more about the client’s concern.
Also, I would like to suggest to the café that they serve the food on plates so that it has a better presentation to the audience. Finally, I agree with those who say some foods can be too sweet. It happened to me before with a strawberry pistachio and vanilla latte (even without asking for more sugar).
Overall, I love the variety that you can find here: they have creative dishes, and a lot of interesting combinations. I liked the music. The place is really cozy and perfect to study, yap with your friends or read a book. I highly recommend it, they are doing a great job for a new cafe.
