Cepae Tasting Room

I was introduced to Cépaé by my friends today. The pastries and tea are simply amazing, but I am more obsessed with the bears in this place. I know they're just stuffed animals, but who can't resist sitting next to a stuffed bear in this cute place? The service is great, staff is very friendly and super patient. I ordered the blueberry pastry and it was delicious. There wasn't a lot left considering it was an hour before closing so I may stop by again in the future.

Went here for breakfast, the eggs benedict is so delicious! So many options for the toppinfs, it was so yummy and cooked just perfectly! The side salad is amazing and the potatoes are so lovely! The staff is really kind, and the atmosphere is great! This place is amazing! You guys need to check this out!

This used to be one of our favorite spots in Bellevue, but sadly the new dinner menu is truly abysmal. I ordered the lamb which was not modestly priced, expecting rack of lamb chops, and received a shoulder blade chop which was unbecoming of the price and truly difficult to eat. We ordered a cheese plate and were served whole forms of cheese unprepared, just chunks of hard cheese with the inedible rinds attached. Truly amateurish and overpriced. The second star is for the wine selection which remains solid, and the obvious concern for our satisfaction demonstrated by the obviously anxious and concerned manager. IMHO, I'd shut down dinner for a few weeks to re-staff and redevelop the menu. The former menu was excellent, especially the rabbit gnocchi. Sad to see another good Bellevue restaurant so greatly diminished in quality while demanding unwarrantedly high prices. Bellevue tax at its finest. Extremely disappointing. Two thumbs down.

My wife and I's visit to Cepae was a terrific experience! We decided to sit at the bar during happy hour. My wife tried a flight of 3 different white wines and I decided to try a flight of 3 different red wines plus adding in their happy hour wine on their menu. You can pretty much try any wine they have available for a very affordable price, especially being in Downtown Bellevue! Most of the wines you're able to "taste" for between $2.00 and $3.00 from what I could remember. Their happy hour menu was quite tasty as well as we chose to get a little tasting place of cheeses, meats, and other hors d'oeuvres...bread with butter was yummy too! The service is top notch, their sommelier, who served us was very knowledgeable and made our experience even better. On a nice day, you're able to sit outside. They even serve coffee from Victrola Coffee Roasters, sell French pastries and other products, and you can purchase unique wines that you're unable to find in most of the big box retailers since they have a direct relationship with the manufacturers. We will definitely go back to Cepae and try some other wines. This place trumps the other wine spots imho... Enjoy!

One of the coolest new places around!! Cépaé International Tasting Room is a tip of the hat to Woodinville’s beautiful wineries; they offer a selection (growing weekly it seems) of some of the greatest wine producers the world has. Their unique concept offers EVERY wine by ‘tasting’ size (0.5oz) and ‘glass’ size (5oz); ranging from a few dollars for a taste to 99$ for a glass of Echezeaux Grand Cru or Chateau Calon Segur ‘10. In addition they offer all the bottles by retail at amazing prices. Attached to the ‘tasting room’ is the amazing La Parisienne Bakery. They have an amazing menu that lines up to wine pairings but also showcases an authentic French menu that anyone can learn and enjoy. I’d recommend to anyone that loves the different cultures of the world; but even more so to those that are learning about wine, Cépaé will let you try tons of new world and old world wines. Let them know your industry!!

Really wanted to like this place, but the service an minimal menu items available made it extremely hard. We went for brunch and many of the food items on the menu were not available. Also, all of the champagne and Rose was sold out so no mimosas as well. Many times if this happens restaurants will offer an alternative, but not in this case. The food we were able to order was ok, but definitely not something I would come back for.
