We just stumbled across this raving review in the Seattle Weekly of the scones at Cafe Javasti, 8410 Fifth Ave. N.E., and had to share it with the Maple Leaf Life community (even though it’s — egads — four months old!):
Bite into a Javasti scone — the café’s hallmark pastry — and you’ll be ravished by the light, buttery and flaky dough. Standard scone textures lean toward dense, but the Javasti version tastes more cake-like. Still, it doesn’t cross the line. The crust and flakiness remind you that this is still a scone we’re talking about here.
Got any other favorite treats at Javasti worth touting?
ALL their pastry items are GOOD! Crepes are wonderful too!
Oatmeal fruit bars are whats up!
The cinnamon roll scone…….oh my but it is good!
Zucchini chocolate cake. Yum.
I agree with Simon. The quiche’s and the ham cheese-spinach crepe are pretty darn tasty.
Pumpkin bread.
They usually pull a mean shot at Javasti, even decaf. Sometimes a less-experienced barrista will screw one up, but they always happily repull! The cold brew is unique and awesome as well.
The best food items on the menu (when they have them) other than scones are: zucchini chocolate cake, weekend quiche (any variety), and the ham-cheese-spinach crepe.
