“TLDR; super long and slow lines, really nice pastries.When we got here (9.30am), the line probably had 7-8 groups ahead of us, and it took us about 20 minutes to get to the front. I got the savory croissant which was overall pretty quite nice. Unfortunately it felt a bit oily (not buttery) to me - I let it sit in the paper bag for a couple hours, after which it was perfect since the bag soaked up all the extra oil/butter.“
“We were visiting the island and we googled this bakery place. It sent our expectations. They have the most fresh sandwiches, soups and donuts. The owner was super friendly and all of her staff and gave us recommendations on where to go on the island of best lobster roll. They also had the best coffee that did not elevate your heart beat.. will be coming again soon.“
“The chai was okay, but the pastries we got were so good. The cheesecake has a much thicker crust which I prefer and the flavors tasted like a crisp fall day. We also got the chocolate croissant and a blueberry muffin. All very good, and good value. Plentiful seating indoor and outdoor.“
“what a wonderful unplanned stop this afternoon. enjoyed a small portion of the drinking chocolate, it was decent. The bonbons however, were fantastic. My personal favorite was the peanut butter raspberry, yuzu was a close second, but all were great flavors! Beautiful colors, and special packaging. A great shop for a special gift!“
“Simply the best. Delights from scones , breads to die for to focaccia and pies galore. All artisan. One French woman that frequents the Port Angeles farmers market on Saturdays says it the best bread she’s ever had outside of France. What else can you say!“
“Food: 5/5 best croissant/pastries I've had in Seattle Coffee: 5/5 best cold brew we've had Price: 4/5 Service: 4/5 (only bc there's often a lot of people) BEST pastries and croissants of all bakeries I've been to in Seattle (and I've been to a lot). It's the exact right texture, flakiness, butter, and size - closest to French croissants you can get in Seattle. Great espresso drinks and some of the best cold brew we've had as well in Seattle. Runners up include L'Experience on Mercer Island (though it's a little pricey) and Baked Flours in Beacon Hill. The only downside is sometimes it's crowded (probably bc it's so good) so you might have to just go in and out. But the coffee and pastries are really second to none and we also pick up their in-house made unique preserves on occasion which are wonderful! Their Burien location is much larger with more inventory of jams, coffee, etc you can buy and space to sit down. We just don't make it out there often but it's a great location.“
“I was so happy to stumble upon this store. I bought a 4-pack of truffles and each was a delight to eat! The salted caramel and Mayan truffles were especially amazing. There are also vegan options for folks. Looking forward to visiting again the next time I’m in Ballard!“
“My wife and I are regulars at Oxalis and we both love the food and coffee. However the customer service takes the experience to another level. The employees are amazing! This cafe is well worth the visit! I highly recommend the egg sandwich! Enjoy!“
“I don’t even know how to put into words how amazing the food is here. Oh my god. The baker is so incredibly skilled, she has raw talent to make superbly delicious food. I always opt for the vegan options, but the smell of everything is infectious. Please never ever stop baking!!“
“Recently found Los Encantos and are so impressed with the food...we have already gone back three times. We have tried the Campagna, Russian Rye, Insane bread (which is my favorite) and the Pretzel rolls which are a the best I have ever had. I highly recommend them for any baked goods!“
“Excellent donuts. Fast and friendly service. Great selection. Buy local! Love the chocolate sprinkle.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options, but no gluten free.Kid-friendliness: Display window is the perfect height for kids to pick out their favorites.“
“The first thing you noticed about this place is the smell!! It's donut/pastry heaven and they should bottle this smell into a candle. I ordered the maple bar and it was great! I am kicking myself for not grabbing the bread to enjoy when i got home! I guess I'll need to make another trip to Poulsbo! Sluys is a small shop with no seating, so head across the street to Hot Shot Java and grab a cup of coffee and enjoy your treats with coffee!“
“Superb! Had the Bristol bay sockeye melt! Deli folks smoothly & accurately described the makings. I said let's do it standard. Was NOT Disappointed. Recommend them for salmon melt. They know their product well too. Great little shop held me over for a while, stuck locked out of my truck on way to work. Couldn't get stuck on a cooler location!“
“No amount of stars will convey how amazing Mama's Armenian Kitchen is, nor how genuine and kind the two owners are. I hesitate posting this review, as any small change put into the universe may lessen the perfect balance struck by this cozy bakery. Not only does the food exceed any number of world class bakeries, the owners are poetic and warm reminder to be patient and kind.“
“Looking for morning coffee and saw this basket that has great ratings on Yelp. The ginger coconut scone I got was really great. I love the texture of the coconut and candied ginger. Loved it. We also got the salted pretzel. Enjoyed that this bakery offered unique choices not found at other bakeries. Wish they had coffee, but maybe in the near future.“
“Continuing my food tour of the PNW, Saboteur Bakery has been coined the best bakery in the Kingston Area. It is tucked away in a small shop in Bremerton downtown. I was skeptical because I am a little bit of bakery connoisseur. I was not disappointed by the expectations that were set for me. This bakery was popping when I arrived due to heavy foot traffic. The almond croissant was literally warm when I purchased it. The frangipane onto was perfectly crisped and topped with the toasted almonds was balanced with the soft inside filling. The pear brioche danish was just as good because the crackling on the sides also matched with the soft inside to give the pastry texture. Both of the pastries were well worth the drive and I would be willing to go again. The reason that I took one star off is because I was slightly disappointed with the choice of pastries. I had heard that weekly there is a special bakery item that they keep in the fridge (this is only available on the weekends). I was disappointed that there was no way that I could have known in advance to drive there on Saturday instead of Friday. Maybe I am not aware of something that locals are?“
“I want to give a major shout out to Angela, her mom, and the entire team at Cake Studio Panaderia Mexicana off of Viking Way in Poulsbo. They went above and beyond to help me put my Valentine's Day plan into action and create an incredible memorable experience for my wife that I am very grateful for.This year I got a head start on Valentine's Day and set a plan in motion a few weeks back. I reached out to our local Mexican panaderia in Poulsbo, to see if they could help me craft a bouquet of flowers filled with fresh Mexican conchas. If you don't know what a concha is, that's okay. It's a sweet bread that is perfect with coffee. My wife loves them so much she even has earrings of them.Angela at Cake Studios Panaderia, was just as excited as I was to put this idea in motion. The morning of Valentine's Day, I dropped off several bouquets that she and her mom then crafted with freshly made conches tailored to color match from their bakery into this outstanding concha flower arrangement. My wife had no idea what I was bringing back to her and she kept her eyes closed and when she opened them the surprise was fantastic. I'm happy I remembered capture on camera.Thank you Angela and the amazing team at Cake Studio Panaderia Mexicana for making such a delightful Valentine's Day possible.“
“This is our go to neighborhood cafe. The staff is great. The baked goods and coffee are top notch. They also sell and make drinks with Lighthouse Coffee which is my favorite Seattle roaster. If you live or are visiting do yourself a favor and stop in for a cup.“
“Made the most beautiful and delicious baby shark cake for our son's birthday! The amount of detail and care she put into the cake was incredible. She was also super responsive and great to work with! Highly recommend working with her :)“
“A lovely place to stop in the morning and pick up a high quality pastry. Their croissants are some of the best I've ever had. Their bagels have excellent flavors (maybe a little small but you can get 2 and they're not that expensive). I've had their macaroons (im personally not a big fan but the lavender is nice). Would certainly recommend stopping in for a visit!“
“Since moving to Washington, I've heard about the great coffee scene. However, most places in Kitsap Peninsula are drive-thrus. I prefer sitting in a cafe, so finding Urban City Brew Co was a pleasant surprise. Despite having a drive-thru, their coffee is delicious with a unique menu. The excellent customer service made me feel appreciated. They even have a picnic table outside, offering a nice spot to enjoy your coffee with a view. Maybe I've been doing it wrong—coffee outdoors seems to be the way to go.“
“Absolutely love this place! The owner is so kind and friendly, and the prices can’t be beat anywhere. They have a small but competitively priced selection of other grocery items in addition to the discounted bread, cookies, muffins, etc. They even have a rewards stamp card that can earn a stamp per $10 spent, a full punch card getting 5 items off the back wall. A highly convenient place to help stretch my grocery budget. Thanks!“
“I bought a molasses and ginger cookie from Haggens Grocery at Lakeland Hills in Auburn WA. I don’t see them on your list of retailers perhaps you should include them. I like the individual packages and will try the chocolate chip next. Very soft and full of flavor.“
“we drove by tgisblittle town. the bakery is amazing. we got a dark caramel chocolate turtle with seasalt, pecan pie and mini cheesecake. all of them are so tasty!! wish we bought more stuff there!Dietary restrictions: there is gluten free.cakes“
“Went to Sabine Cafe for a quick afternoon bite with my teenager. We chose some appetizers to share off the menu: fried cauliflower, whipped feta with veggies, and the Za’atar fries. The service was friendly and efficient. The food arrived quickly, too.The food is middle eastern influenced. My teen didn’t like the tahini and feta flavors, unfortunately. ? She made the most of it though and ate some of the food… but just didn’t love it.Personally, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and outdoor glassed-in dining area, but also wasn’t blown away by the food we chose. (I noticed they have a breakfast/brunch menu - maybe this would be a better option next time…)“
“Larson's for the win!! My goodness the assortment here from cookies to cakes to breads, they have everything for your sweet tooth. I needed a cake on a Monday and it's not very easy to find very many bakeries that are open on Mondays let alone after 5pm when people are getting home from work. I ordered a red velvet cake and got a big one, which worked out well for me, because that meant we got to eat this delicious cake for multiple days. Even two days after purchase, it was moist and delicious like you could eat it with the back of a fork. They personalize the cake to my husband's birthday.“
“I can't speak for the flavor but these are some of the most gorgeous cupcakes! I love that the frosting is not overwhelming like on most cupcakes. The woman working behind the counter was friendly and very helpful! 10/10 would come back again!“
“As someone with celiac disease and severe dairy, egg, and soy allergies - this place is an absolute miracle. Like it made me emotional to find because I haven’t been able to safely consume a treat like this in years. I am a deeply sensitive celiac and received NO reactions to their donuts. I’m so excited to have found an allergy friendly donut place.Keep it up, people like you keep us allergy folks afloat!“
“La Copa has the best coffee in the area. Their staff understands the science and art of pulling espresso shots and their machine is calibrated properly so your drink is well made. They have a nice variety of food options made on premises and everything is delicious. Our favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge and yummy), the coffee cakes (flavors rotate), GF banana bread w/ chips, the danishes, the marzuka bars, the cookies, and the turkey pesto panini. The owners and staff are hard-working and kind. They care about their locals and the newbies. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You deserve it!“
“Cake was amazing!! Service was great as well (: Chocolate cake tasted like Oreo and the vanilla cake tasted like twinkies! There was two cakes one with chocolate and the other with vanilla since they couldn't do a marble cake sadly . But overall cakes were great!!“
“Super great baked goodies here, but the shop itself is almost never open, since I guess they're primarily just a caterer. Everything I've ever got here has always been a huge hit at our house.Man, that time I brought home cinnamon rolls from here, I was practically getting begged to pick up more cinnamon rolls nearly daily for the month after that.That said, I'm in the mall a couple times a week and I think I've only seen this place open for walk-ins maybe five times ever out of the probably hundred times I've been to the mall. It's not really the fault of the people that run the shop, they're just really busy with catering jobs, and it's kind of a downside of the mall being run by more indie shops that don't really make enough to justify having strict hours.“
“I have never had a better chocolate covered cruller ever. Most doughnut places dont even make these, so when I saw it….Had to get one. Soft pillowy inside with a light crisp outside. The chocolate icing was delightful. They really understand how to make dough for sure. If you really want a special treat, go get yourself one of these. They have days where they don’t make raised doughnuts so make sure you call ahead if you’re looking for these.“
“I had the most delicious items here recently. I over indulged and it was more than a cheat day but it was worth the million and ten calories. My family and I shared a number of things one early morning. We shared: sausage and egg croissant, blood orange ricotta croissant, salted caramel macaron, a matcha strawberry croissant, toffee croissant and a ham and cheese croissant. This and 3 drinks, about $50 or so. It was worth every penny and then some. I had to go back in an buy a few of their croissant x space needle stickers to commemorate our visit. I'd love to bring my Mom here. She'd love the tiny town feel and the warmth of the sun against her cheek as we'd dine al fresco with my little one. I don't know how to accurately describe to you what I tasted. The ricotta and blood orange combo sounded so nicely and delicately balanced to me, and it was. The ricotta was plentiful and the blood orange wasn't overly sweet or sour. It was just the right amount of "pow." I wouldn't have minded it more tart either but it was so good. The croissant was a bit dark but that just told me that the butter was plentiful and it was baked so beautifully, removed just in time. I think the ricotta x blood orange croissant impressed me and so I didn't think that there would have been anything else amongst all that we ordered that could have topped it but I was wrong. The matcha x strawberry croissant was fantastic. The amount of strawberry that was in there and the matcha creme. I wish I could find something like that here, in Los Angeles. if there is something like that, that exists in southern CA, I hope I can find it. Or, I hope someone will let me know where I can find such a masterpiece. I love that they are constantly putting out new pieces but also that once they run out of something, they are out. It isn't like they are defrosting anything in the back. I wish this bakery were near me but it's probably best that it isn't. I would have spent a huge fortune here already. I cannot wait to come back. Parking: free street parking, no lot that I saw No inside seating but plenty of tables along the sidewalk Payment: I used cash“
“The food was incredible. I had a BLT Chicken Sandwich. The fries were crispy and delicious, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the bacon was crisp but still easy to bite. Tomatoes added flavor but didn't water down the sandwich (an issue afflictibg many lesser BLTs).Highly recommend if you are in the area.“
“Yummy molten chocolate cakes. We got the strawberry one, and the jam added necessary tartness. Loved the mix of hot and cold with the ice cream on the side too. It's definitely rich enough that two people can share one dessert! I just wish there were more non-chocolatey desserts for people who don't like super rich chocolate. They had two seasonal ones on rotation, but I wasn't really keen on either of them (some kind of cookie ice cream sandwich and a monkey bread I think).“
“Golly… these folks are doing the Lord’s work. Had the steak & mushroom pie.Crust: perfectly crusty and flaky…while still holding together.Filling: gosh it was good.Gravy: made me offer thanksgiving to the Lord of all pleasures and goodness.“
“I recently visited this charming coffee shop and was thoroughly impressed! Not only does it offer a cozy atmosphere perfect for unwinding or catching up with friends, but the view from its windows is absolutely stunning. The bakery selection is top-notch, with a delightful array of pastries and treats that perfectly complement their delicious coffee offerings. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in more of their delectable goodies while enjoying that beautiful view!“
“Delicious pies! Ordered two on the spot. Bike-accessible area with bike racks just outside the shop. Cheerful and helpful cashier who made friendly conversation with me and the kitchen crew so it felt like a warm atmosphere all around. After ordering you pies, grab an ice cream cone to eat as you’re walking out.“
“The staff at this location are so kind, helpful and talented at their work that I refuse to go anywhere else in the city for coffee. All the baristas make me feel extremely welcome, comfortable and are great at putting big smiles on my face before I am even caffeinated!12/5 recommend Uptown Espresso if you're looking for a cosy and delicious local coffee joint. The dirty chai lattees are my greatest weakness and I encourage you to try one :)Big thank you for all you do for our Mag community and beyond, Uptown Espresso team!“
“If your looking for great tasting coffee and a quiet, easygoing, laid-back atmosphere, this is your coffee shop. It has tables for intimate couples and larger tables to accommodate small groups. The baristas who have served me have been very nice. I live in the CD and love to meet friends who live in West Seattle at Uptown Espresso. My go-to beverage is a Chocolate Americano. It was delicious! I asked the baristas what type of chocolate they use and it's a dark chocolate from France. Can't recall the name, but it add richness and depth to the taste of their already delicious coffee. ☕“
“Yummy! We had the clubhouse and split it. Yam fries were perfect and had a yummy dill mayo.I think I heard three sets of music playing which was distracting and not very peaceful however we were in a bit of a time crunch so we ate and left as soon as we were done ✅“
“I have been buying their pastries from a few of the farmers markets around town for over two years and I have never been disappointed. It is European style desserts so they aren’t overly sugary and thick, which I personally prefer since you are able to taste the flavors rather than just the sugar. No matter what you get, it will always feel light and fluffy and not too dense!My go-to has been their pear tart! It has such a good texture and spice in it and their cakes are also good! Definitely recommend this place or their stalls at the Farmer’s Markets in Ballard or Cap Hill!!“
“This is a spectacular bakery that serves both sweet and savory pastries that will knock your socks off. There's no picture attached to this review because once I started my first bite I wasn't emotionally available to put it down. We ordered a raspberry danish type of pastry, and another with a flakier crust and caramelized onion with mushroom filling. The crusts were flavorful and wonderfully textured as well. I'm baffled that this place doesn't have lines out the door. Although we took our order to go, I'm certainly going to come back and enjoy the sitting area. It had a warm, vintage sensation that made me want to get comfortable, settle in with my London Fog, and read while looking out the spacious windows. Really it reminded me of the feeling I used to get when visiting my grandmothers house - it may seem a little fancy at first blush, but overall it is a cozy and welcoming space. The sweet woman who runs the place was so kind and made my drink extra hot to survive the walk home in the cold wind outside. I'm also 90% sure she's making these pastries by hand. She sent us on our way with a "stay safe" and a small smile. Wonderful experience!“
“If you're in Bainbridge Island, make sure to see if this farm stand is open and pick up a loaf of sourdough! Regular sourdough loaves run about $8 and specialty loaves run around $10. Bring cash or check (there's a money box you can drop off in), or she also accepts Venmo (just beware there might not be cell service). You can also pre-order or sign up for a plan at her website.“
