The Crumpet Shop

I went to the Crumpet shop with 2 friends on Saturday morning. VERY busy, but worth the wait (which wasn’t too long). There are too many delicious choices for crumpet toppings, I went with the raspberry jam and butter along with a cup of piping hot oatmeal. The crumpets are perfect and couldn’t be tastier

The maple creme is the best drink ever. Mmm.

Great sandwiches for lunch! I used to get their Washington Chicken Sandwich once every few weeks while working near the market.

was in the late seventies early eighties. I had always wanted to try a crumpet. Loved the way the butter & raspberry preserves pooled in the deep holes left by the air bubbles. Like a really thick pancake just before you flip it!
They’re so fresh, unlike the readily available crumpets sitting on the grocery store shelves.

I went with CIScott on December 29 on a brisk but sunny Seattle day. Crowded but delightful, with a slew of bread, tea, and the _de rigueur_coffee choices. I was offered some lentil soup, and took it—very lovely.

I don’t know why it took me so long to get to this place. The storefront is tiny and unassuming, but so much warmth and goodness for the tummy inside. Thanks to Ciscott for buddying up with me for the visit.
