In Short
For more than two decades this neat shop in Pike Place Market has been baking crumpets and topping them with plain butter or your choice of sweet or savory toppings, ranging from honey, Nutella and marmalade to smoked salmon, pesto eggs and ham. Properly British, the shop serves scones and whole-leaf teas, too. In summer, iced tea, with or without fruit juice, attracts thirsty shoppers. The shop also offers homemade soup and sandwiches.

Since a kid, I've always liked going to the Crumpet Shop for a warm, fresh crumpet. They have many toppings ranging from all kinds of jam to meats and more. You can also find a variety of teas that are quite tasty as well.

I'm sorry the diner listed below had such a bad experience. Looking at the date mentioned, I realized Seattle was in the midst of a "heat wave" which wouldn't seem hot to someone from outside the area. When the temps there are in the low 90's, unairconditioned spaces can seem unbearable. The Crumpet Shop has, and usually needs little or no air conditioning. It is tiny and the bakers work in a glassed area that holds the heat from the ovens so on a normal day it would be quite warm for them. Sorry you had such a bad experience. The crumpets are really wonderful and I'm sure if you went back on a more normal day, you would find the atmosphere exactly as others have described. I have always looked forward to lunch there instead of inside the noisy market when I visit.

I love this cozy nook of a shop. Their crumpets are mouth-watering good. I love a crumpet with green eggs (pesto eggs) and ham with tomato and cucumber. I also love their maple spread with ricotta and walnuts (yummy....mouth watering right now). Their tea is the best-- all loose leaf and full-flavored. They have some very high-end teas, as well, including very expensive green teas and jasmine teas from China. Owners are very personable. This is mostly run by their son, now. It's always nice to hang around for a while.
