After spending years in the technology industry, and most recently Microsoft, Julien Hervet started a cottage business in his garage following his true passion – wine. His love of the noble grape and his home country of France drove him to build Cépaé as first, an importing and distribution business and now as a tasting room located in the heart of Bellevue, Washington.
Julien’s main desire is to bring wines from lesser known regional producers to the American market while both supporting small wineries and educating the public on the great diversity of options available in the wine world. Enjoy French Wines directly imported from France!

Given the poor service, lack of attention to detail, and the disappointing customer service skills displayed during my visit, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Cépaé to anyone seeking an enjoyable dining experience. It’s a shame that a potentially great dining spot fails so miserably in the most crucial aspects of hospitality. Save your time and money by exploring other options in the area where you’ll receive the service and attention you deserve.

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?

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.

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.

Mediocre at best. What is happening to Bellevue? All of this potential, but not quite meeting the mark. If you want upscale establishments, then have impeccable food, service and ambience.

Great coffee and pastries. The wine bar and Parisian cafe share the space. Saturday night and there is a great band playing French jazz. We will stay to try the Happy Hour menu at 9pm.

What amazing patisserie and wine bar so close to the office. I have to say the wine menu is extensive and inclusive of almost all price points. There’s also room to sit and chat on the patio. I love the ambience here and will be back!

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!

Wonderful ambiance and decent wine. The wine markup is a bit steeper than I’m used to at about 300% for a run of the mill bottle of Bordeaux, but the service and food makes up for it. The new head chef is personable and sociable and when not busy will spend a few minutes talking to each table.

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.
