Neil Robertson’s bakery Crumble & Flake has found its Capitol Hill home. In a search he announced via CHS in October, the pastry chef says he has settled on a space for his croissants and macarons:
The truth can now be told – the lease on the future home of Crumble & Flake Patisserie is final!
Address: 1500 E Olive Way, Seattle WA 98122
Currently the space is a hair salon (for the past 20+ years). Right next door to the in-progress Rachel’s Ginger Beer and Montana. Just around the corner from La Bête.
As predicted, the shop is tiny – just shy of 500 square feet. I’ll be working with Henry H. Lo, architect at Stillwell Hanson Architects –http://www.stillwellhansonarchitects.com/ – on designs for the build-out, and I hope to be open sometime in April (though we all know how these things go).
Plans are to offer a selection of breakfast pastries both sweet and savory such as croissants, kouign amann, and scones, alongside dessert pastries like filled-to-order cream puffs, macarons, cookies and brownies. Expect a few surprising flavors and seasonal ingredients was well as classic favorites. Coffee will be provided by True North Coffee Roasters – http://www.drinktruenorth.com/
My office will be moving from Ballard to Queen Anne in March, and as I live on First Hill, this new shop will be on my way to the bus. Very excited to see this happening!
and just a block away from me. now if we could just lose the cash-a-check place…
Dang it! I just moved from that building.
I hope he’ll offer more than just sweet and savory treats of the varieties available all over the hill at coffee shops already (the turnovers, and pocket pies, and filled pastries of other sorts). I’d love to see a place that offers an egg on a flaky buttery croissant, made to order.
Check out Joe Bar, on Roy. They do fresh eggs on a croissant.
Go one block up! Arabica makes a killer egg on croissant.
The other cafes are great too, but somehow I am looking forward to this.
Welcome to my neighborhood! I will definitely be a customer.
