“ After years of wondering what a crumpet was, I finally found out in Seattle, of all places. The Crumpet Shop is pretty famous and has a street entrance on First Ave, so no hills to climb or go down to eat here. I got the smoked salmon cream cheese with fresh cucumbers, and it was light but still filling. Plus, endless tea and coffee refills! My boyfriend got a bowl of groats, which he liked – he did say it was a bit sweeter than he expected, so next time he asked them to skip the brown sugar. I'd totally recommend people stop by here if they're near Pike Place. A lot of other places get all the attention, but this spot deserves it just as much. ”

“ I tried their autumn special crumpet - with apple butter and cream cheese(?). I don’t think there was any cream cheese though. Only later I learned Americans apparently call apple purée apple butter. Crumpet itself was nice, but would I paid for this $9.10. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I intended to use cutlery, but was not possible as the bottom of crumpet is… not burned but very… crunchy. Metal knife was not able to cut through it, so I gave up. I appreciate the service and atmosphere. They take cash, but no change. ”

“ I’ve been to Pike Place market many times, but this was my first time stopping at the crumpet shop. I have definitely been missing out! I ordered the Vermont with a small Matcha latte and it really hit the spot after a long drive from Portland. The staff seemed super cool, too. I can’t wait to come back and try a different crumpet! ”

“ I found this shop 9 years ago and it was beyond amazing. I don't get to Seattle often but when my cousin and I planned a trip for a concert I told her we had to go here. We ended up going both mornings for breakfast because they crumpets are so buttery good. They have so many options, but you can also customize to your liking. The 1st morning I got egg ham and cheese while my cousin got pesto, ricotta and tomato. We spilt them so we could each try them. We DEVOURED them. The pesto tastes so fresh, the ricotta was perfect and brought all the flavors together. We wanted to get more but we decided to come back the next day. The next morning I got ham, cheese and pesto. I got the lemon and ricotta to go. My cousin got the pesto, tomato and ricotta again as well as ricotta and raspberry. The lemon curd wasn't too tart or sweet, it was the perfect texture. The ham and cheese and pesto tastes like an open faced grilled cheese. I wish I lived closer to this shop. The crumpets are made in house and you can watch them make them. ”

“ Crumpets are so very good and yet hard to find in the US. This place is a treasure! Their menu features a huge variety of savory and sweet crumpets. I ordered a Vermont, and it was divine. Along with that, I had their shop tea blend, which was quite good—milder than Earl Grey, and refreshing to start the day. Be aware that there is little seating inside. There may be a line, but they prepare the food fast. ”
