Description on Cafe Javasti’s website: We strongly believe in the power of community, an amazing cup of coffee and a delicious bite. Café Javasti was founded with the purpose to bring these three things together.

Comments: Café Javasti is a no frills, solid, neighborhood cafe. When we think of Cafe Javasti we think of crepes. And not only do they serve sweet crepes, which you might expect in a coffee shop, but also savory as well. On our recent trip this past Easter we had one of each. We had the sweet #7 – Cooked apple, cinnamon, sugar and whipped cream. As you can see from the pics below, they are not chintzy with the amount of apples in the crepe.
We also had the savory #11 – Chicken, pesto, mozzarella, tomato, which was also a hearty portion.
We noticed that it appears Café Javasti’s website hasn’t been updated in awhile. Under their News section, the last entry was from June 2015, which probably means that if you are looking at their menu for pricing prior to visiting Café Javasti, it’s probably not current. They also have pastries that I believe are made in house at their bakery, Little Kitchen.
One other thing we noticed were the lack of certain coffee drinks that are pretty common for most Seattle coffee shops. They have espresso, Americano, lattes, mochas. My wife got the white mocha, so no issues there. I’ve kind of morphed from a pure espresso or Americano drinker to a Cortado/Macchiato/Gibraltar/Flat White drinker, but they don’t appear to serve these smaller drinks that are commonplace in Seattle. At least it’s not on their menu, so I’m assuming they don’t.

Eavedropping Convo:Two 40ish yr old women talking.
Woman 1(W1) – Did you here about Ryan?
Woman 2(W2) – Oh my God! Don’t tell me. He got dumped?
W1 – Mm hmm. Like yesterday’s trash.
W2 – Not again?! How long did this one last?
W1 – Six or seven months. He has the worst luck. He can’t hold on to them. He falls so hard for them too. He’s destroyed over it.
W2 – You know the reason…. He’s too nice. Women want to be challenged. They don’t want somebody to walk all over, buy them gifts and say, “Yes, Dear” all the time. We all want somebody who’s nice, but he’s too nice and women get bored. I’ve told him this a billion times, but he just ain’t got it in him to be a little bit of a bad boy. It ain’t in his nature.
W1 –You know what they say. Nice guys finish last. And it’s the damn truth. You should give him a call to cheer him up. He needs it.
