Hidden gem in Gilman Village ESPECIALLY if all you want is coffee and a breakfast snack. I am sure other times and items are good as well, but this review is limited to my breakfast experience yesterday.
Walked to Issaquah Coffee first and they had one of their epic wait 20 minutes lines going. So popped over here and was served coffee immediately and a short wait for my sandwich since it was made to order.
Coffee was great and sandwich was delicious.

Amazing place, absolutely recommend. Great service and incredible pastries. The Kougin Amanns is like a croissant with caramelized cover!! Wow so so good. Double chocolate cookie was awesome and also puffs and pistachio croissant. You need to try it

The butter croissant was fine but fairly average.
The cream puff, however, was excellent — light cream, not overly sweet, and very well balanced. Easily the standout pastry for me.
Coffee-wise, they only offer drip coffee, with no espresso-based options. The coffee itself was okay, but the lack of variety was a bit disappointing.
Overall, the pastries were hit-or-miss, with the cream puff being the highlight.

Fantastic French bakery! Definitely worth a stop if you’re passing through Issaquah.
To start with, the pastry case is loaded with traditional French pastries, but often blended with unique flavors. You absolutely must get a cream puff (the raspberry, or anything fruity, is my favorite). But beware: these aren’t your nanas cream puffs. These are hefty, the size of a baseball, with a lovely crunchy topping and plenty of cream. I’d also recommend at least one kind of croissant (I like the savory ham one) and a kouign amann—both super flaky and delicious, especially warmed up. Lastly, the blackberry almond financier is an unexpected favorite. It tastes like the best muffin you’ve ever had. Definitely grab one of those.
In addition to the pastries, they have a cafe serving hot and cold drinks. I tried the house-made hibiscus lemonade and I’d highly recommend it if you like a sweet drink.
They also offer an extensive menu of entrees. The reuben (supposedly legendary) is indeed delicious—it’s not particularly unique, just a classic executed really well. The fried egg sandwich is also really tasty. The quiche is delicious, but I gotta be honest: it’s mostly cheese, so it’s pretty dense and heavy. If you’re into that, it’s delicious, but if you’re looking for a more traditional, light quiche, you might wanna skip this one. The French toast is fine but nothing special, similar to what you’d find at any diner.
Crumble & Flake is worth going out of your way for! Truly excellent food!

Very cute place with alot of outdoor seating. The chocolate croissant and black sesame Kroign Amann were absolutely delicious, flavors and textures were perfect. We were however very disappointed in the peach blueberry and sour cherry almond tarts. They were basically tasteless, extremely dry, and the crust was bland; more like a scone than a tart. Maybe they weren’t fresh or they simply weren’t to our liking. Will go back for other things but staying away from the fruit tarts. Service was friendly and outdoor patio was very relaxing.

We did not to want to eat yet another hotel breakfast. We Googled and found this place. Oh my, what a treat! I ordered the fried egg sandwich and my husband ordered a cubano. Each sandwich came with a bag of Tim’s Cascade chips and 4 of the tiniest, yet tastiest pickles I’ve had. (Btw, I’m a pickle snob.) We also ordered one tart each to enjoy later. We took our food to go because we had seen a park nearby and had decided to have an impromptu picnic there. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and inviting and had the weather not been agreeable, we would’ve stayed to eat there. Back to the food – the sandwiches were so good! Nothing overpowering and just enough that each ingredient complimented the others. We haven’t eaten our tarts yet and I will edit my review if needed…but I doubt I will need to. Whether you are looking for something sweet or savory, snack size, or meal size. They have it and it is worth the stop.

I was curious to try this place because of the name. It definitely has its victorian charm, there were at least a couple of pastry options you’d not find in other places and I liked that the pistachio filled gateau was not too sweet. I wish the food options were not regular sandwiches, I was expecting a little more exciting options for food. There is no espresso machine so you get regular coffee, which is not a big deal for me personally

I visited Crumble & Flake with my wife on a cold but sunny Saturday morning. The café is located in Gillman Village and offers both outdoor seating—which is quite pleasant on a nice day—and indoor seating.
Unfortunately, the indoor experience was underwhelming. The décor inside feels a bit too dark and subdued, almost heavy, and that atmosphere seems to carry over into the service. From the cashier to the staff working behind the counter, most people had poker faces and didn’t make much effort to greet or engage with customers. Staff appeared more focused on talking among themselves than welcoming guests, which made it feel like they were doing customers a favor by being there rather than genuinely wanting to serve. At one point, one person was sitting in the kitchen area while others walked around casually—overall, it didn’t give a professional or hospitable vibe.
That said—and this is important—the pastries themselves were excellent.
I tried a cream puff, and it was outstanding: the crust was fresh and crunchy, and the cream inside had a perfect balance of sweetness and vanilla, light and not heavy at all. We also tried the pistachio lemon tart, which was equally impressive. The dough was fresh and crisp, and the flavor combination was spot on. The pastry chef clearly knows what they’re doing—both the creativity and execution are truly professional.
It’s a shame that such high-quality pastry is being overshadowed by poor service and a low-energy atmosphere. If the same care, pride, and attention that goes into the pastries were applied to customer service, this place could be truly amazing.
It’s especially noticeable when compared to the bakery directly across the way, where the owner works alongside the team. There, the vibe is completely different: staff are happy, attentive, welcoming, and engaged. The atmosphere is bright, and the tables are consistently full.
Crumble & Flake has the talent in the kitchen to be exceptional. I genuinely hope the leadership takes this feedback seriously, because the pastries deserve a better front-of-house experience.

We had a Chocolate Croissant and a Chocolate Pistachio Croissant at Crumble & Flake Patisserie. We just walked next to the Patisserie on the street and smelled the baked goods. It was so good, we had to go in and buy something. As a German I think it is a little bit pricy but it tasted really good and was worth it. Small place, tasty goods, we can recommend it! Enjoy food from there!

No vegan food options… and no coffee at all???? So I didn’t ingest anything from here. My partner says his muffin thing was ok. I am really just reviewing because I took some pictures, because the pastry options did look interesting.
