A Latte with Roz: Visiting the Frasier Set and the Signed Saucer I’ll Never Forget

☕ Quick Sip Summary

  • We visited the original Frasier set at Julien’s Auctions
  • Sat in the Café Nervosa chairs—and on the couch—with my husband and baby Fras
  • Got a signed espresso cup from Roz (Peri Gilpin!)
  • Enjoyed Seattle-roasted coffee from Caffe Vita
  • Captured all the cozy coffee + pop culture nostalgia over on Baked, Brewed, Beautiful

It’s not every day you get to sit on Frasier Crane’s actual couch. But earlier this week, that’s exactly what I did—alongside my husband Christopher and our baby Courtland, who (in true fashion icon form) came dressed as a tiny Fras, complete with a white cardigan. I channeled Daphne. And together, we stepped into TV history at Julien’s Auctions, where the original Frasier set was on display.


Yes, including the Café Nervosa chairs. And yes, there were latte cups.

The Set, the Couch, and the Nostalgia Hit

Walking into that recreated apartment was like stepping into memory. The clean lines of the furniture. The slightly-too-perfect bookcase. The Nervosa table, exactly as you remember it.

But the moment that really got me? Sitting down on the couch (by the way it was and much smaller in person). It was surreal. And somehow even better with Courtland on my lap, babbling happily like he’d always belonged there.

A Coffee Nerd’s Dream

As the creator of Baked, Brewed, Beautiful, I spend a lot of time thinking about how coffee fits into culture—and Frasier Crane was decades ahead of his time when it comes to café rituals. He and Niles practically lived at Café Nervosa. You could say they walked so today’s coffee snobs could run.

Would Fras approve of my oat milk latte? Probably not. But would he respect the pour-over method and a good single origin Ethiopian roast? Absolutely.

Nearby, Seattle’s own Caffe Vita was serving up the real thing—freshly brewed drip coffee from large urns, poured into tiny white espresso cups that matched the Nervosa aesthetic perfectly. The coffee was bold, balanced, and delicious—a fitting tribute to Seattle’s legacy of great local roasters, and a subtle nod to the role coffee plays in Fras’ world.

Roz, Espresso, and the Sweetest Surprise

Here’s where it all goes fully fan-girl fantasy: While we were being interviewed at the event, one of the auction organizers generously gifted me an espresso cup and saucer—signed by none other than Peri Gilpin, aka Roz Doyle. I was in total shock.

They told me they’d even send a photo to Peri so she could see the fan who received it.

I don’t think my heart will ever recover.

The Little Details

Beyond the big set pieces, some of my favorite moments came from the tiny artifacts tucked into glass displays—vintage coffee grinders, Nervosa cups, sherry glasses, and quirky props from the show’s long run. These little pieces made it feel all the more real. Like Fras could’ve walked in at any moment and adjusted a throw pillow.

I’m still waiting on a few more photos from Julien’s (which I’ll add here soon!), but in the meantime, enjoy these highlights—and all the cozy caffeinated nostalgia they bring.

From Nostalgia to Now

This visit was more than a stroll through pop culture history. It reminded me why I started Baked, Brewed, Beautiful in the first place—to celebrate the little rituals that make life feel special. The daily latte. The favorite corner of a room. The stories that come with both.

And if you’re wondering, no—I didn’t sip directly in the Nervosa chairs, but I did sit there, latte cups on the table, soaking it all in.

Thanks to Julien’s Auctions for the unforgettable experience—and to Peri Gilpin for unknowingly making this fan’s dream come true.

If you’re anything like Fras (or me), you know that coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a ritual.

Want to bring a little Nervosa magic into your own kitchen? I put together a free espresso-making guide to help you brew confidently at home—no judgment if you add oat milk.

Iced Oat Milk Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Pumpkin spice mixture:
½ cup oat milk (barista blend if possible)
⅓ cup brown sugar (white is okay too)
2 tsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp vanilla extract
Latte
2 shots of espresso
1 cup oat milk 
1 tbsp pumpkin spice mixture
½ cup whipped cream (optional)
2 ice cubes (if enjoying cold)

Pumpkin spice mixture:
1. In a small sauce pan, add oat milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to medium heat and whisk ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
2. Once the mixture starts to steam and the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla. Strain through a fine mesh filter into a glass jar for easy storage.
Latte:
3. Pull your espresso shots, and pour inside your desired coffee mug. Add the strained pumpkin spice mixture to the espresso and stir well.
4. If enjoying warm (skip to next step if enjoying iced), steam your milk using a steam wand, milk frother, or mason jar (see post above to make foam without a frother) until foamy. Pour velvety milk on top of the espresso mixture.
5. For iced pumpkin spice lattes, add 2 to 3 ice cubes or cold brew coffee cubes to your mixture.
6. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and dust with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

There’s something quiet and grounding about sipp There’s something quiet and grounding about sipping coffee in the open air.

This week on the blog, we’re sharing a thoughtful guest post all about coffee and the outdoors—from trailside brews to simple backyard mornings. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes the best coffee moments happen far from the kitchen.

Take a moment to read, reflect, and maybe plan your next outdoor sip.

Where do you love to enjoy your coffee when the sky’s the ceiling?

Daphne walked into Café Nervosa… with a latte o Daphne walked into Café Nervosa… with a latte obsession, a white-cardiganed baby Fras, and dreams of sitting on that couch. ☕🛋️

We visited the actual Frasier set at Julien’s Auctions—and yes, it was everything.
