Fresh Flours is a Bakery/Coffee shop on Phinney Ave N near 60th street in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood.
He said: A pleasant experience. This is a pretty new establishment and for its small size had a variety of different baked goods. They have a bakery on-site so I can only assume that they made all this stuff themselves. I had a Savory Pithivier which I had never heard of before, nor did I know how to pronounce. I avoided this discomfort by kind of pointing at the item and grunting, and the clerk seemed to understand what I wanted. The item was a pastry pot pie, with cheese, crumbled Italian sausage, mushrooms, and leeks in the middle. The crust was very flaky and buttery (almost making is a little too greasy) much like a croissant. The coffee was good, and served in actual porcelain cups. The decor of the place was what would have been considered very modern at the beginning of this decade, but now just looked like it was trying too hard to catch up to the young and hip Seattleite coffee bar scene. I'm being very picky here, and overall this place gets an A- and its up on my list of good places to get a lazy weekend nibble and a cup of decent coffee. I don't know what the wifi situation was here, but the seating area was cozy enough where wifi probably wouldn't be a benefit.
She said: We have driven by this place so many times and never went in until yesterday. I really like the Phinney Ridge neighborhood so I might be a bit biased already! This place was your standard coffee/bakery restaurant without being a chain. The food was great. I had a quiche, and it was yum-o. Everything is baked on site, which is a major plus in my book. There is free wi-fi (a sign on the door told me this) and nice seating. If I lived close by I would go there all the time. The only "issue" was that there was a long wait. At first I thought it was annoying that there was no menu posted (presumably because the food changes all the time, but they could have a chalk menu and update it daily), but it took the entire time that we were in line to look at all the bakery items and try to read the labels on them. This made the wait go by much more quickly! I enjoyed the coffee as well but the huge mugs made it get cold a little too quickly. A-
