Cafe Hagen - Dexter 700 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109

"The ambience is modern and masculine with elements of warmth in the brown leather seats and many plants on the walls. A chill vibe and they were even playing some of my favorite indie music. The baristas were friendly, professional, and they even delivered my order to my table rather than just calling it out. I tried the breakfast bun with egg, havarti, and arugula. The cheese is a prominent flavor but not overwhelming and bun was light and airy. I love anything with arugula but I would have liked to taste the egg more. I had an 8oz decaf cappuccino with whole milk; the mouth feel was smooth and silky and they did better latte art than I can do. They had a large and unique pastry selection; I tried the kouign amann and though I can’t pronounce it, it was simply scrumptious. Similar to a croissant but with denser, sweeter layers of lighter and more moist pastry with some crispy edges of caramelized sugar. I love to pull things apart with my fingers and this is a perfect pastry for that, though my fingers did end up deliciously sticky. And it was big enough that I saved some for later. I would come back and I’m looking forward to trying more of their pastries."

"Very pleasant atmosphere, most humble staff. Many dessert options for sweet tooth people."

"Great new Cafe Hagen location in the SLU/Westlake neighborhood. This location is definitely a bit smaller than some of their other locations but there is plenty of seating (15-20 chairs) and great lighting. I will say that there aren't a lot of outlets, so charging your laptop can be hard. WiFi lasts 1 hour before it disconnects you."

"This new coffee shop just opened on 10/31/23. Coffee and pastries are delicious. Service is super friendly and the atmosphere was low key with nice lighting and music at a lower volume. I’m excited to have this new coffee shop in the area."

"Perfect addition to the Westlake neighborhood with breakfast and lunch options, and essential Scandinavian treats. Coffee is strong and not fussy! Will definitely be returning!"
