No. 96 Front Street Patisserie & Cafe - Cafe in Issaquah - 96 Front St N, USA

Now no. 96 Cafe! It has a beautifully redone interior with notes of marble and pink that feel warm and inviting. When you walk in the door you will be greeted by the amazing smell of the variety of baked goods Kristen makes as well as her warm smile. There's a lovely menu for tea and coffee as well as adult beverages such as delicious hot spiced wine and mimosas. Kristen has been baking since 2008 and her passion and love for it you can really taste I swear! If you're looking for a spot for brunch or amazing baked goods look no further come in and say hello! The salads and sandwiches are so perfectly fresh and crispy and you'll be impressed with the croutons of course.

The cutest little coffee shop. We slid in here while waiting to eat at JaKs and were so delighted. They were without cold brew (spilling incident) and didn’t have any ice (despite freezing temps out) so I tried a Flat White (1st timer)… it was truly quite the experience. The decor is Valentine’s Day themed and beautifully done. They do have an assortment of pastries and food as well.

This place has a new owner and it's becoming more awesome. We tried a few things and loved them all. The Komorebi (what a pretty name) matcha latte is delicious with either oat or almond milk. It's not sweet at all and has an umami flavor as well. The almond croissant my aunt ordered is creamy without the greasy feeling. My matcha croissant is the best because it doesn't come with the sweet matcha flavored white chocolate that places like Nana's green tea sell. Instead it comes with rich matcha cream and thick matcha syrup which are beyond delicious. They're doing afternoon tea soon, starting in December. No more frozen yogurt but more goodies and beautiful decors are coming. They have an interesting floral and fragrant petal salt at the condiment table.

I am so grateful to have found No. 96! I have been searching high and low for THE BEST coffee shop in Issaquah and I have found it here. The second you walk in you can tell this business is different. The personalized home made touch is every where you look. Menu items are changed weekly, based on what fresh foods they can find available. The menus are handwritten, which is a small detail I really enjoyed. Most important the coffee was GOOD! Quality espresso, production not rushed, truly made with care - this is hard to find around here. Also, VEGAN PASTRIES! Unheard of from a shop not dedicated to the vegan diet. I tried the vanilla salted chocolate cake and it was incredible. They also listed a brown sugar cinnamon latte with oatmilk and I highly recommend it. The two people working (owners?) were incredibly kind and made me feel right at home. I am excited to finally have a weekend coffee tradition.

Delicious vegan options keep me coming back!!! Love to see this week’s creativity with the menu using “TUNO”. A wonderful take on the traditional tuna salad sandwich. The däre cheese they carry for their balsamic fig vegan grilled cheese has to be one of the best vegan cheeses I’ve ever tasted in my life! Can’t wait for my next trip out to Issaquah to see what new options they have on their rotating menu! Recommend to all vegans near and far!

Food was great.we didn't have drinks. Staff was friendly,professiona, and efficient. Decor was clean and relaxed vibe. My only complaint was the menu. It was literally all over the place one at the front door, a different one pasted at the far end of the coffee bar. It would have been helpful if they had a central menu you could look at while waiting in line to order or featured on the wall in the line. I would

I cannot rave enough about this place!! Everything is handcrafted with love and intention. Handmade that is apparent in EVERYTHING they make. I had a chai tea that I was SO HAPPY to be offered in an herbal caffeine free option. No syrup. We are talking REAL tea. Highly recommend the Brie fig sandwich. Order any pastry and you will be happy for sure. The service was as amazing as the food and drinks. Can’t wait to go back!

I had such a lovely experience in this shop this morning. I was doing the turkey trot downtown when my newborn son needed a bottle. I noticed 96 was open and stopped in to take care of him. The owners could not have been more kind or accepting of my little one’s cries which added a…new ambiance to their previously quiet store. It was an absolute bummer I didn’t bring my wallet to the race as everything looked so delicious. I will absolutely be coming back.
