PNW meets France in this charming bakery & cafe. Choices of authentic and hearty croissants, artisanal breads, soups, quiche, egg sandwich, and many delicious pastries. Great coffee, too. Atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and unpretentious. They know they have the best-tasting breads and treats from Olympia to Seattle. Can be crowded at certain times. On-street parking only.

My wife and I have weekly dates at the Bread Peddler. Every Sunday morning, you will find us standing outside the door waiting for them to open at 7 AM. The pastries are AMAZING - the best in town! The challenge is deciding which one to select, they're all SO good! But not to worry. We'll have one there with freshly brewed coffee, and then take some to go for the week. (You can never have enough pastries, as one of our Bread Peddler friends told us), We have gotten to know the bakery's awesome crew pretty well, and we love every single one of them! Can't say enough good things about the Bread Peddler. Try it for yourself. Guarantee, you'll keep going back. And if you happen to be there on a Sunday morning, you might see us sitting at the table like two old lovebirds on a date savoring our pastries.

These croissants are great! If all you've had is below average croissants. I read other reviews and they're not altogether wrong if their expectation is a big soft doughy roll. My expectation is a non-greasy fresh buttery flavor that doesn't taste like land o lakes, light and airy consistency that melts away in the mouth kinda like cotton candy and a flakiness that has you struggling to contain them. Unfortunately these were kinda greasy, doughy and stale-tough. Meh. Eat them if you want but I'm gonna keep looking.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Olympia, The Bread Peddler is a charming French bakery that perfectly blends coziness with a trendy vibe. Upon entering, the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods envelops you, setting the stage for a delightful culinary experience.

During my visit, I indulged in a selection of their offerings, starting with the almond raspberry cake. This dessert was a true standout, featuring a moist almond base complemented by a burst of tart raspberry, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that left me craving more.

My husband savored a croissant filled with ham, Swiss cheese, and egg. The croissant was flaky and buttery, with the savory filling adding a satisfying richness. Each bite was a delightful combination of textures and tastes, making it a perfect choice for breakfast or brunch.

The mushroom quiche was equally impressive, boasting a creamy filling packed with earthy mushrooms, onions, spinach, and a perfectly baked crust. It was both hearty and comforting, showcasing the bakery's commitment to quality ingredients and skillful preparation.

To accompany his meal, Hubby opted for the salted honey latte, which was nothing short of luscious. The blend of sweet and salty notes, combined with the rich coffee, created a delightful beverage that elevated the entire experience.

Overall, The Bread Peddler is a must-visit for anyone in downtown Olympia. With its delectable fare and inviting atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal or a quick coffee break.

The bread peddler has really gotten better over this last year or 2. They're open more. Their pastries are fabulous, their drinks are good. I feel sad to see the full breakfast no longer being offered, but what they do offer is worth visiting for.

Excellent pastries along with the best coffee I've tasted. Ever.

Their Pistachio Breve is highly recommended.

They are baking my wedding cake! They are absolutely the best bakery in town.

I love this place, and I don't leave a 2 star lightly, but I feel genuinely betrayed after not getting a sandwich this morning. I ordered it, paid for it, fully expected it to be in my bag after we were even joking about it, but no. It was left on the counter and eventually given away, even though my phone number was on the receipt. I will update this review the next time I go, because I believe that sometimes it's just a bad day, but I feel genuinely hurt that you looked into my face, saw me, and still forgot my sandwich. I do want to express they provided me with a refund and a croissant, but that doesn't change the fact I now will have to double check the bags when I didn't need to before.

They no longer serve breakfast, and only have sandwiches and quiche. Just breads and pastries in the morning which are good. Coffee takes a while to serve.
