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.
Found hairs in my sandwich and spit in my drink worst place ever. They were mad at some guy behind me and did that stuff to mine really not cool

Never made it in. Most of the posts say free parking. Only if you park a few blocks away. The parking lot next to it is $7 and parking on the street is metered. Parking lot had homeless watching us as we got out of the car and I never felt safe. Left and won’t come back.
Parking: Full of homeless and tweakers looking to break into your car.

Saturday morning rush, coffee was great and extra hot! They warned us the quiche would take about 15 minutes but it was faster. A beautiful cafe and just what we were looking for as a light breakfast option

I came in the afternoon so it was much quieter than I anticipated from previous reviews. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I got a pain au chocolate and some other pastries and am really happy with the quality. I also got a breve and it was lovely! I’m excited to come again and try more!

I cannot believe I have not been here in the 20 plus years I have lived in Olympia! I had the turkey guacamole sandwich and it was mouthwatering good! Definitely coming here again!
