Freya - Seattle

I absolutely love this place, especially in the morning. Each time I visit (this is my third time), it feels like I've discovered a hidden gem. The cardamom twist is fantastic, along with their other freshly baked goods. The coffee is made quickly, so take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. This charming spot is definitely worth a visit!

This is a lovely and tidy café situated right at the main entrance of the Nordic Heritage Museum. I highly recommend trying the smoked salmon toast—it's simply delicious! The staff were very friendly as well. The café is a bit on the small side, so if you visit on the weekend, you might have difficulty finding a place to sit. Otherwise, I give it a solid 10 out of 10. I can't wait to return soon!

I came in to chaperon my mothers friend who's visiting from out of town. Instagram heaven if that's what you love. Like all museums and theme parks if you want a great experience #lifehack go during non peak hours. Monday through Thursday. The staff however was the best and made the experience so much nicer.

This charming little café serves the best coffee! The barista was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it as a must-visit stop during your trip to Seattle.

I appreciate that along with the remodel of the Nordic Museum they put importance on including a quality café to bolster the museum experience. Unfortunately, while Nordic immigrants have a deep history in Seattle, places that serve Nordic foods are few and far between. Freya is a nice addition to Nordic food in the area. They have a small selection of dishes but they are good representation of some of the foods popular in the Nordic countries. I ordered one of the Danish dogs which is their take on a Danish hot dog. I’ve been to Copenhagen and Danish hot dogs are delicious especially with the remoulade and fried onions. Freya Café’s version I believe uses PNW ingredients and combines it nicely with the Danish concept. The Uli’s sausage was tasty and the curry mayo sauce added mellow spice. The pretzel bun rounded out the flavors nicely as well. As a side note, the older gentleman who brought the food out seemed very kind and personable as well. Freya Café is definitely a place I would just visit even if I wasn't going to the museum.
