About George Coffee & Pastries

George Coffee & Pastries is a highly praised cafe in Seattle known for its exceptional croissants. Customers describe the croissants as legendary, with some claiming they are the best they’ve ever tasted, comparable to those at famous locations like Waterloo station in London. The cafe has a cute, hip atmosphere that gets crowded, especially on weekend mornings with students. The space was once a seafood and meat purveyor but now offers delicious pastries, good coffee, and serviceable wifi. Visitors often find the staff helpful and patient, and many are deeply moved by the quality of the croissants, particularly the almond croissant, which they say can lift their spirits even in difficult times.

The Ala George is one of the best ham and cheese croissants in the city, and the croissant pretzels that come out in the afternoon are absolutely insane—top-tier food mashup. The cafe is cozy and warm, with a small seating area that can get hot, but sitting outside is a good option if the transient folks do not bother you. Despite being small, the staff is very kind and accommodating, even when busy. The cafe is conveniently located near plenty of bus options and the U District Light Rail Station, making it easy to visit. Customers appreciate the high quality of pastries and the friendly service, making it a favorite spot for many.

Share your opinion about George Coffee & Pastries

Stupidly delicious and croissants with dependable flakiness (special shout-out to raspberry and pistachio), not sure what sort of witchcraft happens in the kitchen but I'm happily part of the cult.

Oh the coffee is stellar too
I came here several times over the span of a couple months and never had a bad cup of coffee. I also tried one of their pizza pastries, and it was excellent.

The baristas are always super friendly. The shop also constantly has a lot of people in it, which makes for a great cozy neighborhood vibe.

My only complaint is that the prices are quite steep ($7-$8 for a pastry) and my coffee was usually $9-$10 with tax and tip.
Amazing pastries that are made in house (love the coffee cake) and a solid drip! Space is small/cozy though and more a place for yourself and or one friend than your family to hang.
