The Screaming Parrots Cafe: Desserts + Tea + Bites

I love that the cafe stays open until 11 pm. It is a life saver for people that need to work late, studying students, or finding something chill to do late at night on a weekend. Their atmosphere so late at night also beats Seattle’s famous seasonal depression. They have DECAF coffee and my favorite is the decaf cappuccino. For matcha, they use high quality ceremonial grade matcha from Japan and are generous in the strength they put in their lattes. I would say the quality and matcha flavor is on par with Nana’s green tea in Bellevue and it is not a presweetened mix that has sugar mixed into the matcha powder. Their souffle’ pancakes are my absolute favorite here (and rare to find on the Eastside). I do encourage to order ahead for the soufflés since it is in high demand but most of the

I decided to give The Screaming Parrots a try and I’m so glad I did! Everything on the menu looked so appetizing that it was hard to choose. I ordered a Dancong oolong latte, a salmon crepe, and a basque mango cheesecake. The drink menu is impressive, they have real tea options like Pu Er, Dancong, osmanthus and Da Pai Hong, not just the usual milk teas. My oolong latte was fragrant and smooth, and the tea flavor really lingered in a nice way. If you like Molly Tea, you should give their tea a try. The salmon crepe was delicious and a good portion, every bite had plenty of salmon and avocado. The basque cheesecake was also tasty, though I wish the mango and cheese flavors were a little stronger. The cafe itself is cozy with a relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more item

Delicious drinks and food, cute and cozy cafe - great for a weekend date! Came here on a weekend morning with my husband and baby. We parked in the lot nearby. We brought our baby along and it was stroller accessible. Service was very friendly! And the cafe was cute and clean! Really love the decor and aesthetic. For drinks we got the banana pudding hojicha and strawberry matcha. Both were soo tasty and well balanced. We also tried the creme brûlée soufflé and the butter mushroom crepe. The soufflé was one of the best we’ve had! And the crepe really hit the spot! Love this cafe and definitely recommend it! We’ll be back for more drinks, soufflé and to try their other items!

The fluffy pancake remind me of Rikkuro’s Cheese cake. It is light and not too sweet. The matcha is also not too sweet but the quality is not that great, tastes like Japanese supermarket grade. The cafe is small but very cosy.

Update: Its really awesome this cafe values improvement. Thanks for taking the feedback and working on it! Tried the crepe this time and it was really good! Great food and drinks, but inconsistent. For instance the souffles sometimes are fluffy, large, and given 2 so are worth the high price. Other times they are flat and small and only served 1 pancake and feels like a complete rip off. Souffle pancakes are not easy to make correctly, and I am hoping to see this improve as this cafe matures. 🤞 I like this cafe, just needs to work on consistency and quality.
