Deliocious baked goods, coffee and burgers. This is a great breakfast and lunch spot!

I'm such a fan of this place!!! It is so cute and I love the flavor of the pastries because they are so unique. They taste super yummy and are full of interesting spices. It's also located in a super pretty area with lots of water and green around so I just loved it.

overall (3.5/5): I would come back again to try some of the other pastries, but the ones I got were just okay. food (3.5/5): I got the cardamom twist and the black sesame bun. the cardamom twist was denser than I expected, but it was flavorful and spiced well. the black sesame bun was a bit sour? I think it came from either the sesame on top or the glaze because eating just the inside was fine. the sesame flavor was not that strong compared to the sourness, so it was a bit off-putting. service (3.5/5): I went at 9:30 AM, and the line was already quite long. I ended up waiting for about 40 minutes. ambiance (4/5): there is outside seating, and the sun that day shined beautifully on the food! might be cold though if you come in the winter.

Saint Bread continues to remain at the top of my favorite bakery list. I had their rhubarb danish spring 2023, and when I saw it posted on their Instagram this spring I knew I'd be making a trip sooner than later. My boyfriend and I strategically planned our Sunday long run to end at Saint Bread, best decision! We arrived around 9am, waited in line for about half an hour. By the time we left the line had tripled in size, so arrive early!! We ordered the pineapple coconut school bun, pain Au chocolat, and of course the rhubarb danish. They were all fabulous, the croissants were buttery and flaky, and the bun had a lovely hint of cardamom. We also ordered a matcha latte and a London fog, respectively, which complemented the pastries very well. Overall, a lovely Sunday excursion, topped by seating on their new western patio looking over lake union and basking in the sun.

The ham and cheese sandwich was mid. The hojicha latte was very hojicha, but I wish they had the option of having sweetener added. The egg sandwich with an added sausage was very good, but $4 for a sausage is crazy!! The ginger cookie was very good and chewy :)

Packed with people even on a weekday morning. Definitely come here when it opens/maybe even before it opens if you want your goods. It was worth it for us! They have plenty of seating. The cinnamon-okinawan sugar toast was yummy and went well with my warm hojicha latte. We were also intrigued by the okonomiyaki style tortilla. Was delicious but rather than a tortilla I would describe it as a fluffy frittata. The portions are somewhat small but still filling- a great place to grab breakfast! Would definitely frequent if I were a local. Take all my money!

I would like to give this place 3.5 stars. There was a pretty long line for lunch but it loved relatively fast. I ordered the egg salad sandwich and the okonomiyaki Style tortilla, chocolate chip cookie and croissant. The baked goods were the best part. The sandwich was interesting but wasn't the freshest but I like the idea of it. The tortilla was a little disappointing. Not what I was expecting, but worth trying.

Stood in line to get me some of their coveted bread. I ended up buying a lot of items from the menu but none were standout to me. It was drizzling and we waited in line for about 30 minutes. By the time we got the counter the melonpan had run out (I guess that is typical). My car also got swiped outside which was a bummer. The restaurant itself is very clean, spacious, barn style and they have plenty of outdoor seating (no indoor seating). Would recommend coming here if you want their coveted pastries but make sure to come early because they run out of items on a daily basis.

Warm, melty, salty chocolate chip cookies straight outta the oven. All the yeses. With a side of sparkling rosé just for fun. We love St. Bread on a sunny day - that breeze off the lake just makes every baked good better.

After having stood in line for an hour on a foggy, cold perhaps typical Seattle Saturday morning, I have to say, we all walked away underwhelmed and left wondering what all the hype was about. In our party, we got 2 of the ham and cheese sandwiches, 2 orders of fries, a burger, a broccoli salad dish and a salmon rice bowl. The sandwiches were premade, sliced in half and put in these these triangular plastic containers like you'd find in 7-11's refrigerated section. Quite unimpressive. Makes you wonder why you stood in line for an hour. The burger was nothing out of the ordinary. The broccoli salad was meh, I guess the rice bowl was alright but nothing to write home about. All in all, not worth the wait....wish it was better.
First time reviewing Saint Bread, but this business has been a staple for me! They are a perfect location if you're looking for a fun selection of delicious pastries and a coffee. On weekends the line can get long, but it's always worth it. It's par for the course. I went on a Thursday morning and walked right in, but as I sat on the patio enjoying my treats, I saw the line had begun. They have covered outdoor seating that has bench tables as well as a few overhead heaters. They always have a great revolving selection of pastries while also sticking to some staples. I like the yuzu polenta cake. It's nice and hearty with good texture with just the right amount of sweetness! They serve Proud Mary coffee which makes for a fantastic cup. You really cannot go wrong with what you order here! You'll want to come back for more :)

Remarkably tasty bakery set in the U-District close to the water. The offerings include excellent pastries and breads of various sorts, as well as a number of breakfast/brunch offerings. I was very fond of my cheeseburger served on a flavorful brioche bun and dobutsu-style fries (a play on In 'n Out's animal fries). They also have a number of specialty pastries that change on a regular basis. This recent Easter weekend, for example, they served hot cross buns. The weekends can command impressive lines, but they are worth the wait. Surprisingly, too, given both the location and the nature of the fare, the prices are also extremely reasonable. My only very mild complaint is their coffee. It is good, but it might have a bit more character. Overall, I can't think of a nicer spot in Seattle to enjoy a brunch on a pleasant Spring day.

Incredible foot with friendly service.Be prepared for a long line. It is worth the wait.We ordered avocado toast and two bread fried egg sandwich with bacon. Both items were awesome. For the road, we purchased a chocolate croissant. It was the BEST thing we have eaten in a long while!!!! Flakey and tasty.Highly recommend SAINT BREAD

Came saturday afternoon and from waiting in line to ordering to receiving our food was about an hour in total. Unfortunately by the time we got there, all the pastries except the cookies were sold out! At least the chocolate chip cookie was solid .. Smoked ham and cheese was pretty good with the wasabi mayo. Saint cheeseburger was actually a bit underwhelming! Thought there'd be more to it. Their lattes are good, I like the espresso. They're pretty light on the syrups though as I couldn't really taste the miso caramel in my latte (although I do appreciate it more over an overly sweetened drink) Cant say for sure if it's worth the hype since a lot of the pastries theyre known for were out so I guess I'll just have to try coming again

Ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage. The bread was burnt so the burnt flavor was overshadowing the sausage. The sausage was an extra 4$ plus the 9$ for the sandwich. I wouldn't recommend it it's the sausage. McDonald's was better.
