Our Story

The Crumpet Shop is Seattle's original tea and crumpet company.

Our story began in 1976, when Gary Lasater founded what was originally called The United Metropolitan Improved Crumpet Baking & Punctual Delivery Company in Pike Place Market. Customers simply nodded, smiled, and started calling us The Crumpet Shop.

Fast forward to today, and The Crumpet Shop continues to delight patrons with perfected recipes and an inviting atmosphere for enjoying a toasted crumpet and a cup of tea. Now lovingly run by the Golding family, the shop’s legacy of quality, flavor, and tradition lives on.

We can’t wait to see you at Pike Place Market—or at our new location in downtown Edmonds!
