The Crumpet Shop
1503 1st Ave, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Pike Place Market, this quirky neighborhood gem specializes in British crumpets—those wonderfully spongy griddle cakes that are nearly impossible to find in the US—with an impressive variety of both sweet toppings like Nutella and savory options like the Vermont. Beyond the crumpets themselves, it's the unhurried, cozy atmosphere that keeps people coming back, whether you're settling in with unlimited tea refills and a pastry or meeting a friend for an extended coffee break. With a genuinely warm local Seattle vibe and consistently excellent execution, it punches well above its small-shop size.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

First crumpet in my life and it doesn’t disappoint! Yumm! Grab the unlimited tea refills too and pause to enjoy the experience. I ate the basic butter and honey crumpet. And had 2 refills of tea as it was delicious and I was thirsty, haha. I’ll be back!
A peculiar store with local Seattle vibe. Ordered the Vermont crumpet. The crumpet is quite salty and on the harder side and the topping is sweet. Not my favorite type of carb, but definitely still worth trying.
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.…
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,…
