The 50 best spots for macarons in Seattle

Bakery Nouveau is an absolute Seattle and Seattle area bakery! I am so fortunate to live in West Seattle and have a location next to me! The staff is always really nice and they all provide excellent customer service and they are always upbeat from my experience. The space at the West Seattle location is kind of small and the line can get long, so sometimes they have you line up outside. The space feels very much like a cozy traditional bakery/cafe. I enjoy the decor of the space. The food is absolutely delicious! I love their desserts, which are totally premium quality! They also sell sandwiches and bread, but I have only ever had their desserts. They sell coffee as well for a little pick me up! My favorite desserts are the tiramisu and the mocha chocolate cheesecake. Both of those items are incredible. My wife enjoys the pistachio cake that they make. I also enjoy the Paczki that they make. Paczki is a polish donut. They don’t always have it on regular basis, but when they do, it’s amazing! Overall, I highly recommend Bakery Nouveau if your looking to satisfy your dessert craving, or if you’re just looking for some coffee or lunch type of food!

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (6/10) Recently wanted some pastries while in Seattle and heard of this spot! Walking in it was a small quaint cafe with only a few tables, which was fine. We were intending to leave with our product anyway! Large selection of Macarons, danishes, croissants, cookies, and more. We selected a strawberry pistachio cake slice, a chocolate covered Madeline, a honey pecan scones, and a pear Danish. I will say it felt a little rushed getting through the line, but it was 9am and they were busy. It just made it hard to get a good look at everything, if we had more time I think we would have chosen different or more options. We got to the car and opened the strawberry pistachio slice, it was good, however way too sweet for my liking, unfortunately couldn't finish it. The Madeline was good! But a bit more dense than we were use to. The scone was for a friend, they really enjoyed it (it smelled and looked good) and last the pear Danish was for my boyfriend. I stole a bite and that was the star of the show! Amazing Danish. I will return again to try other items in the future.

Such amazing sandwiches, bread, and sweets! I love the breakfast options and my favorite sandwiches are the ham & cheese baguette, California club, and BLT. I love you can get a slice of cake if you’re solo or want to try several options. Three downsides to consider. 1. Bread, breakfast, and sandwiches sell very quickly so try and get there before noon so you don’t miss out. 2. West Seattle store is very small & narrow and the lines often go into the street and it’s a bit chaotic honestly especially if it’s your first visit. Hang in there and try and go with the flow of others and you’ll be okay. However, if crowded social spaces make you anxious, this place may trigger you during busy times. 3. They’re closed Mondays & Tuesdays 😩 So try and stock up breads, etc on Sundays if you’ll have a craving. I also want to mention how amazing ALL their staff are. Always polite and kind and patient while you order. I’ve been a regular here -sometimes weekly- for four years and I’ve always had a positive experience (minus the crowded shop) with the friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you’re craving decadent pastries and cake or need a fancy cake for a special occasion. And the bread - good variety. Perfect for your holiday occasions & holiday orders can be placed online for convenient sidewalk window pick up.

So excited sharing my first experience. Very cute place for hang out if there’s a spot, the croissant is fresh (you could tell when you bite into it) cute macarons (very sweet you’ll needed when you’re on low sugar levels) Amazing service ☺️ will definitely recommend this place.

Friendly and helpful staff and tasty pastries and strong coffee I would say this is a grab and go type of place. The line is pretty long though it moves fast. While there are tables inside, it does get pretty loud Took me some time to find it as I couldn’t see the sign with the name outside Took me a while to find it though as I could

I almost missed it walking by. I love the cakes and croissants at BN. I know for a fact that they use good ingredients. I came in 3 minutes before closing. I haven't been here in years. Now that I live close by, I will be here more often. The service people were welcoming and very friendly. They weren't in a hurry to close. This place is a treasure. It's hard to find a bakery that sells cakes with real Italian or French buttercream.

A gem in West Seattle. Artisan breads, cakes other assorted treats. The cheesecake is always a winner. When you come by be sure to visit the husky deli a few doors down and try their famous ice cream.

A popular local bakery with a variety of donut, pastries, breakfast sandwiches. The food was all good but not great; you might expect something amazing from a bakery, but it seems to fail on that point. Set expectations accordingly and this is a nice quick and cost effective breakfast. Expect a line, dine in seating is shared with Serious Pie until 11am.

Really good breakfast sandwiches but not $14 good. We got the bacon and the veggie sandwiches. The bacon would have been amazing if not for the sauce that is on it. The veggie was good but it was just missing something.

I walked in randomly off the street having done zero research and learned they don’t serve matcha— oops! They recommended Taz nearby, but I still got the smoked butterscotch oat cookie. It was divine! All their baked goods looked amazing, but I popped in 20 minutes before closed so there wasn’t a lot left.

Super cool little bakery connected to Serious Pie. Amazing pastries that change daily. Unbelievable unique Mochi (gluten free) donuts! And one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had! Nice outdoor seating as well!

Everything they offered looked SO good. The bakery side of things is absolutely worth going to. I had gotten a blueberry mochi donut and bacon and egg sandwich. The proportion of the breakfast sandwich was insane, but delicious. The only disappointment was the coffee, it wasn't anything especially great, but not bad. I just expected with their food being so good, the coffee would be the same. There wasn't a ton of interaction with the staff, but everyone seemed nice enough. The atmosphere however was very uninspired, really nothing special happening there, but that shouldn't be a reason not to go. Will absolutely be back when I'm in the area again!

My wife and I just stopped in for a quick breakfast sandwich and we were blown away! The bacon and egg sandwich with Beecher’s cheese, arugula, smoked paprika aioli on a toasted English muffin was THE best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my entire life….and I’ve had some good ones!!! WOW… don’t ever change how you make these!!! Super friendly staff as well!

This place was a great find! I was looking for a delicious breakfast sandwich and that’s exactly what I got. It was super tasty with great, fresh ingredients. I will admit I might have messed it up a little by adding bacon because it did not need it and made it a little too salty. Their baked goods all looked amazing and they had plenty coffee/tea options. Be aware this place shares its space with Serious Pie which is a place on my list to try too. If I’m looking for a good breakfast sandwich and in the area I will definitely check it out again.

Stumbled upon this cute little macaroon shop. Delicious fresh tasting macaroons with seasonal varieties. Annie Personable, funny, respectful and deserves praise for being an awesome hostess. Will definitely come back again

Every time I visit Seattle, Lady Yum is a must. The macaroons and service are always consistently great. This macaroons always fresh, full of flavor and they have great options. The macaroons are also not the smaller type. Prices are little more than other places I have been, but these are better as well. Stop in or visit the airport location if flying out. Place it great .

My family & I were walking by and saw the "$5 special: Glass of bubbly & one macaron" and thought it was a great deal and a nice little place to sit and relax! My little sister is 17 and couldn't have prosecco, but the woman working there offered her the deal and gave her some sparkling cider so she could join us which was very nice! And then we tried it, we loved the prosecco & the macarons were actually some of the best we've ever had!!! The peanut butter & smores were our faves. A lovely place to stop at!

I love this place so much. They have a wonderful macron and champagne combo, a large selection of flavors some unique, and everything is affordable. We got guava cucumber, honey espresso, and chocolate ganache all absolutely wonderful.

My partner and I came across their $5 bubbly + macaron deal and we are so glad that we did! The deal is a steal and the macarons are delicious. The staff was so accommodating to us and person that had mobility issues. I would highly recommend because of the quality of food, service, and value!

The macarons were good but they didn’t have any tables that seated more than 2 people and didn’t even offer water to patrons. That being said, the variety of macaron offerings was amazing. The pear frangipane was excellent. Plus they have very fun wallpaper. I would recommend dining elsewhere

I was visiting Seattle and a lady at the hotel recommended this place. I went with 2 family members and we absolutely LOVED IT. We did the $5 deal of a glass of bubbly champagne and a macaroon and let me tell you, it was so worth it! FREDERICK is the nicest worker I’ve EVER met. His charisma was contagious and he really was the highlight of our Seattle trip. We ended up buying over 20 macaroons that day to take to the hotel after enjoying some there while sitting at their comfy chairs. We had to come the next day and bought over 25 more macaroons to bring back on the flight home just because we loved Frederick so much, he really made us feel welcome 🤗 . The whole experience was so delightful and I would recommend it to everyone, this is a must visit when in Seattle!

Their lemon poppy bar is amazing! Not too sour but full on lemon flavor- super creamy not too sweet. Which is perfect. Flourless brownie I would say is my favorite brownie ever.. it is also creamy in texture, not too sweet, great salt and sweet balance. Coffee is on the acidic side if you enjoy that. I took off a star because you cannot order an extra shot but need to order two extra shots because their espresso machines only do double at a time. Since i do not want a watered down 16 oz, i had to pay for 2 extra shots instead of 1, so the coffee gets expensive if you want a 16oz.

Excellent carrot cake; the scone is really good too; but one of the chocolate croissants we got was under proofed - disappointing! Overall happy with the quality (except the croissants) and I will return for carrot cake (not for croissants).

best bakery in seattle hands down!! such a hidden gem! canele, sandwich, and quiche were out of this world!! so good!

I waved to try this new place and it was really good. We got a sample of just about everythingand i think my favorites were the crossiant pretzel, chocolate crossiant, and the ham & cheese crossiant. I also tried the brown sugar cardamom latte and the black tea blueberry latte. Everything was wonderful and the place was really nice. I will most definitely be going back.

The loveliest local bakery with exceptional coffee from Camber. The currant cream scone is a must-try.

I really wanted to like them. Stopped by a morning to get some goodies and do some research for a future venture. I settled on a chocolate croissant, a rosemary cretzel (croissant/pretzel hybrid), a flour-less brownie and their seasonal fruit croissant. They were all stuffed in a small container that opened the minute I turned around. Unfortunately, only two of the above managed to tickle my fancy. The chocolate croissant was not as flaky as expected, doughier and the brownie was so salty I could only eat two bites at a time. The cretzel's rosemary taste was barely there but it was pleasant to eat. The seasonal fruit croissant saved the day a bit as it was the tastiest of all four. The size of the items is also remarkably smaller than other shops in the immediate area. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, there is inside and outside seating. Frozen items are also available for you to bake at home. Another visit is warranted to compare but I will not be rushing back, unfortunately.

The work crew gave rave reviews to the treats from Coyles... The quiche, the iterations of croissants, the millionaire bars. Delish! Excellent coffee as well... Top it off with a fantastic staff and you've got a perfect baked good visit. If you are looking to bribe people with baked goods... Which I shamelessly admit I do on a weekly basis... These dainties will take you far. Parking is street and can be rough.

The cinnamon cream cheese griffin is my absolute favorite. It’s crunchy, creamy, and messy, and so so good. Great with the pretty cortado that I had. Every pastry I have ever had here is amazing. Just looking at their case, I could eat (at least) one of each. They always have something new, seasonal, and different. The vibe here is so cool- very planty and minimalistic, but not sparse. Anyway, come here to hang out or wait in the line because trust me, it’s worth it!

Beautifully prepared and delicious food. Stopped by this morning to load up on pastries for family that was visiting, got a few tea cakes and donuts some savory treats like the gruyere and shallots croissants and tried some new things with the miso caramel cookie. Everything that we got was flavorful and well-cooked. The lobby is bright and open and I love all of the different plants. When I went the line was wrapped out the door and I was concerned it would take forever but staff had things moving quickly and smoothly without making me feel rushed. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Goodbye Macrina, Goodbye Farine, Hello Temple Pastries ❤️ I love food, I love bakeries. I've never felt like I couldn't reproduce at least a part of a menu, but this place is in its own league. We had a mushroom quiche, and the made to order sausage breakfast sandwich. Absolutely stellar. The quiche, the mushrooms, and the egginess once heated to serve was so good and it wasn't what I ordered but I forced sharing 😂. I actually went back and ordered the cheesy, egg and sausage sandwich. It was so good, my walk back to work all I kept talking about was how it was so good. The sausage breakfast sandwich was executed so well. The egg was perfectly cooked, the sausage was out of this world, and the cheesiness was American cheese that made you feel like a kid again. The bread was crispy, soft and buttery all at the same time. I didn't know that could be possible. And last. The flan cruffin? It was like a Portuguese egg tart made for Americans but with the elegance of the cruffin and some crispy caramelized bottom layer. There was no holding back on the vanilla beans in the custard. As any Viet person would say when something is perfectly executed, "it's not too sweet." Definitely excited about coming back again. And the team, sooooon sweet. I'm glad we are walking distance. There isn't enough miles to walk off all the goodness. 😂

Incredible bakery where everything—from flavors to techniques—is executed with absolute precision. The space is surprisingly large, with plenty of seating downstairs, even more upstairs, and a few outdoor tables as well. As expected, they're known for their pastries and baked goods, but they also offer an extensive menu of coffee, drinks, and a few sandwiches. I started with the breakfast sandwich and a seasonal drink whose name escapes me—it was a mix of matcha and lemonade. The sandwich was very tasty, with the highlight being the fresh-baked milk bread. The drink was interesting, but the grassy-sour combination wasn’t really for me. Naturally, I also tried a variety of baked goods. My favorites: • Parisian hazelnut flan – Like the best custard tart you’ve ever had. Absolutely phenomenal if you get it warm, first thing in the morning. • Banh mi sausage croissant – Really unique and delicious. You might be skeptical of the pickled carrots and daikon, but they blend perfectly with the buttery croissant. • Rye ham & cheddar – A rye croissant isn’t something you see often, but it’s great—more nutty and savory than a standard one. • Kouign amann – I mean, of course. The croissant layers are light and fluffy, and the caramelized syrup is rich and delicious. • Cardamom almond brioche – Simple, with perfect texture and balance of flavors. • Chocolate & cocoa nib cookie – I never thought to put cocoa nibs in a cookie, but it's a perfect way to add extra bitterness without overpowering other flavors. • Strawberry macaron – Probably the best macaron I’ve ever had. The texture is unbelievably light, and it’s bursting with flavor—unlike most macarons around here, which just taste like a bland Oreo. All the macarons are excellent, but the strawberry is my favorite.

The best croissant pastries I've ever had! I've tried many croissant-based pastries, and this is by far the best one I've had across the country. Sadly, I was only visiting, but I went back twice within five days of my visit, which should tell you something. Food: The best things to get here are: gruyere cheese croissant (a must), the mushroom quiche, and the flan. Honestly any croissant-based pastries. Patisserie isn't their strong suit but their raspberry charlotte was quite amazing. Their black sesame desserts are a hit or miss, sometimes they would have a weird herbal-y taste to it. Coffee is a no. We got an espresso latte and a match latte, both were very bland so not worth your $7. Vibe: Very cute with plenty of sitting areas for a bakery. Bathrooms are locked with codes fyi. The line starts to pick up at around 9:30am on the weekend. Do go early since they sell out most of their best pastries in the morning. We went once at 2pm and they only have a third of the pastries case left.

Lovely little neighborhood pastry shop. Very cute inside. They have some interesting pastries and cakes. I got the miso shishito brioche donut and it was really balanced - savory, pillowy, and correct filling to dough ratio. Latte was also very good but temperature could have been a little warmer.

A very cute pastry shop in the neighborhood where you can drink wine and/or coffee solo or with friends. Was recommended to come here by a friend. I got the hazelnut praline flan which has a very crispy croissant shell! I can see the specks of vanilla bean inside, so if you like flan I would recommend this. The gateau basque has a short crust like shell with a vanilla custard cream inside, not too sweet and very good buttery taste. The rye pain au chocolat, I was very curious to see how the rye plays into the flavor, but it’s super flakey and tasty. Enough chocolate taste with every bite, but beware a friend told me to eat it that day otherwise the next day the croissant has a chewy texture probably because of the rye.

Really delicious vegetarian bakery with an amazing rooftop deck. This place has a fantastic atmosphere—lively but never too crowded. The rooftop gets sun all day, and there are plenty of shaded spots if you need a break from the heat. Indoors, there’s also plenty of seating. My only gripe? No Wi-Fi. I tried a ton of items here. If you're short on time, here are the absolute must-gets: • Bakehouse Breakfast Sandwich – Phenomenal. Served on house-made focaccia with a perfectly cooked egg, some greens, and peppers for a little kick. • Mushroom Parmesan Hand Pie – Excellent at room temp, even better warmed up. • Biscuit & Seasonal Jam – This biscuit is so freaking good. I wish I had 100 of them. The jam is also great. (Hot take: they should serve a breakfast sandwich on this biscuit.) • Cinnamon Roll (Vegan) – Incredible. Light frosting, chewy dough. You’d never guess it’s vegan. Also great warmed up. More great options: • Chocolate Tahini Milk Bun – Unique and delicious. The tahini adds nutty depth to the rich chocolate. • Lavender Morning Bun – Flaky croissant dough with a strong lavender punch. Excellent. • Peach & Cream Cheese Danish – Fruity, well-balanced, with a light, fluffy crust. • Three Cheese Onion Croissant – Best served warm. The onions are sweet, the cheese is rich. • Coconut Cake (Vegan) – Moist, decadent, almost like cake batter—in a good way. • Iced Strawberry Matcha – Sweet but not cloying. Probably safe to assume all their drinks are solid. Fun & gimmicky treats: • Mango Twist Soft-Serve in a Croissant Cone – Fun presentation. The mango is tasty and the croissant cone is clever, even if it’s just a croissant cut in half. • Unicorn Horn – It’s just a meringue cookie, but I like it. Not worth repeating: • Roman Pizza – A bit dry and bland. Basically focaccia with tomato sauce and cheese. Skip it and get the breakfast sandwich instead. • Assorted Cookies & Pastries – Earl Grey shortbread, citrus shortbread, citrus crinkle cookie, twice-baked almond croissant, blueberry muffin, lemon ginger scone, chocolate chip cookie, raspberry lemon tea cake, chocolate hazelnut cake, huckleberry & orange financier: All tasty, but none particularly memorable.

The pastries were excellent. The rooftop had a nice and cozy feel, but the view was just of the surrounding neighborhood which was just ok. The lighting and décor were wonderful though, creating a romantic vibe. Personally, I preferred the second floor indoor seating over the patio. Overall, I highly recommend the cafe.

--- food --- Mushroom Parmesan hand pie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - insanely good - flakey, rich - I love mushrooms, but I'd hazard a guess and say people that don't like mushrooms would like this - the mushrooms aren't too mushroomy Tomato savory croissant ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - super juicy tomatoes - wish it had more substance on it but I just adore it, like I love the taste of the juicy tomato rather than the creamy tomoato - maybe more tomato jam or sauce? - I wouldn't order this over a hand pie tho Bakehouse breakfast sandwich ⭐⭐✨ - surprisingly just ok to me, despite reviews mentioning otherwise - it needs a sauce or something - I could tell the bread was good quality though Breakfast burrito ⭐⭐⭐ - definitely needs a hot sauce - we got it to go and didn't notice any by the lid station but we totally could have missed it --- drinks --- Lavander latte ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drip coffee ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

Visited a few times now and I firmly believe that their savory stuff > sweet stuff. Their flaky pastries are also great. I typically get their seasonal coffee drinks which are usually amazing. Recently had one that drank like it didn’t have an espresso shot in it but overall through all my times here, I’ve had a pleasant experience. The upstairs is also a real gem, especially when it’s warm out.

I love this place! Pastries and drinks are always delicious. I got the seasonal strawberry matcha today. Lost a star because there is no WiFi. Was hoping to get work done. Tough to have a cafe with no internet. Also heads up that the payment system defaults to 20% tip.

Cute neighborhood bakery with great rooftop patio! Get here early if you want the best selection but we even with less options we enjoyed everything we ate! The savory options turned out to be our favorites - LOVED the Potato Gorgonzola Roman Pizza and the mushroom hand pie. Great use of seasonal ingredients, looking forward to trying more.

I came here for the vegan cinnamon roll and wow it didn’t disappoint. Perfectly sweet and moist. Also had a oat milk matcha which was tasty as expected. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Space is cramped but check out the upstairs seating—especially on a nice day. Looking forward to returning for more bakery items or brunch.

Sea Wolf is a fantastic spot to grab a quick bite and a good brewed cup of coffee. The vibe here is relaxed yet inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for both solo visits and small groups. While there’s a decent amount of seating, it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, so plan accordingly if you're looking for a quieter experience or table. I was really impressed with the coffee—it’s rich and flavorful, and the cookie I had was definitely the standout treat. The cinnamon roll, on the other hand, was good but not great. It would have been a game-changer if it had been served warm, especially since it was a bit chilled. A little warmth would have made all the difference with the icing. That being said, Sea Wolf is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Whether you're looking to fuel up for a productive work session or simply want to enjoy a book in the sun, their outdoor patio is a great option. Overall, a solid choice for a casual coffee break or a snack while on the go!

Went into Seawolf Bakers, and their matcha completely surprised me — so rich and smooth, definitely a highlight. The cinnamon roll had a ton of raisins, maybe a bit much for my taste, but still tasty enough to finish. The place has a cozy, inviting vibe, and yeah, there’s usually a line, which says something. Known for their a fresh loaf to take home. Totally worth a stop if you’re in the area

Sea Wolf is one of the best, if not the best bakery I’ve been to in the United States! This is not to be missed if visiting Seattle! There is a spiraling line out the door every day, which will take you about 10-15 mins to wait through. They use non-GMO local flour to make all their breads and pastries and it is so incredibly fresh and divinely flavorful. They really know the key to flavor pallets—there is a hint of sea salt that dusts their breads to enhance the profile. Their sweet croissant was my favorite, which had rich tahini, sweetness from strawberries, earthy sesame seeds and honey drizzle. It was the perfect harmony of sweet and savory on a toasted croissant. Their seasonal focaccia was perfect chewy and had crumbled goat cheese with chilis, small sweet notes and pesto lightly spread throughout. It was a perfect texture of chewy and crispy. My favorite combo was the date cake, which is a whole wheat loaf slice with nuts, seeds and dates. I dipped it in their spicy masala chai—which is also some of the best I’ve had! They use whole ground spices and it is so potent in flavor and aromatic. They also have chili and sea salt dusted in the foam to add a savory kick that brings out the masala flavors. It is a must try, especially dipping the date cake into it! Also recommend the savory lye rolls, which are their series of topped pretzel buns and breads. Their croissants are also some of the flakiest I’ve ever had, almost like filo dough. You really can’t go wrong, order a few items! Their staff is so friendly and will answer any questions you have. There is also ample outdoor seating and half a dozen tables inside. I really loved coming here because it is a small business people can feel good about supporting. They source from local farms, use quality ingredients and pay their staff a livable wage. With the open kitchen concept you can also see each baker/staff member cracking eggs, hand cutting fresh strawberries, kneading dough, and prepping trays. They keep this to as authentic and minimally processed as possible and it really reflects in flavor and how you feel after eating. I truly love this bakery and wish there were more that adopted their practices!

Excellent spot. They have a select few options but each one (that we had) was done really well. We had the seasonal focaccia, the sweet croissant, and the savory croissant. We loved them all - (even though this is a personal thing) I did feel like the snap peas on the savory croissant gave it a weird smell. We also grabbed their olive oil sandwich bread which is good! Nice for making avocado toast. Finally, their drinks: the seasonal matcha strawberry was BOMB. The ice coffee was average. Would highly recommend this place. PS They are a ‘no tip’ joint ad their prices reflect that.

The class was super fun and interactive, we got to see every step of the process and the teacher was very knowledgeable and sweet. We got to take home dough, starter and fresh bread (yum!) and instructions on how to continue our journey to becoming a great home sout dough baker! The next day I baked my bread and they came out amazing!

Best croissant I've ever had. the millefeuille texture is excellent. We tried almost everything and got a rye sourdough home. Must visit, cozy nice seating area outside friendly for kids and pets

Strawberry tahini and savory asparagus and chocolate croissant were definitely the best items out of the 8 we got. Will say only slightly annoying thing was ordered a cinnamon roll and it was cold. Asked if we could get it heat up and was told no but we could buy a new one and they could take it out fresh… which was disappointing .

The line was pretty fast. I ordered the jalapeños cheese sausage, the bread was fluffy, the sausage has a snap when I bit into it. It got little kick from the jalapenos, not spicy. My friends recommended salmon pate and beef onions. The price starts around $9.

What is a piroshky? Some were flaky, doughy, rolled, stuffed, but all delicious. The line goes fast, so know what you want when it’s your turn to order. Don’t order just one. They come warmed. Had the spinach cheese and ham - chunks of ham! The beef and cheese. The apricot. The apple cinnamon. Definitely would go back and try a few more.

We ordered the chicken curry and rice pastry along with the chocolate cream hazelnut. The chicken curry pastry had incredible buttery layers and great flavor, but the rice inside made it way too heavy. We think it would have been perfect with just the curry filling. The chocolate cream hazelnut was not served warm and tasted like it had been made earlier in the day and cooled. The pastry itself was similar to a thick doughnut, and the hazelnut filling had a pudding-like texture. Tasty overall but a few things kept it from being amazing.

Food is overall good. Highly recommend the seasonal pumpkin toffee almond dessert! Also got rhubarb - i love rhubarb and honestly i was let down by the lack of rhubard taste/filling and the salmon was cute, made me happy but taste was okay.

I placed an online order in advance, but when I arrived at the store at the scheduled time, they only started preparing the order after I told the staff. That said, the food was quite good overall. I recommend the salmon and meatball flavors.

Piroshky Piroshky in Pike Place Market is a must-visit for anyone who loves freshly baked pastries with bold flavors. From the moment you approach the shop, the warm aroma of baked dough and savory fillings pulls you in. The line might be long, but it moves quickly, and the anticipation only makes the experience more exciting. I tried their famous beef and cheese piroshky, and it was absolutely delicious – perfectly golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with a rich, flavorful filling. The smoked salmon piroshky was another highlight, offering a beautiful balance of savory and slightly creamy textures. Each bite felt comforting and indulgent, the kind of taste that lingers long after you leave. The staff was friendly and efficient, even with the constant crowd of eager customers. The bakery’s small, bustling space adds to its charm, giving a sense of authenticity and tradition. Prices are fair for the quality and size of the pastries, and it’s easy to grab a few to enjoy while walking around the Market. Overall, Piroshky Piroshky lived up to its reputation. It’s the kind of place that stays on your mind long after your visit, and I can’t wait to go back for another round of their incredible pastries!

I must have walked along the Pike place many a times but never indulged at Piroshky Piroshky. Tiny little patisserie shop, highly recommend to visit early morning to avoid the lengthy queue (especially on the weekends) Finally I did and would to love to visit again! I had the Herb cheesy bread, Raspberry swirl and Almond something. My favourite were the first two. Once you enter the shop start preparing your to-go in mind since there's no seating. Few umbrella benches placed outside along the pedestrian pathway that fill up fast.

The long lines for Le Panier made so much sense once I got my latte’s, the raspberry croissant, and the macaroons! The raspberry croissant was such a standout—flaky, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet. Pairing it with a latte and those delicate macaroons? Total win. And yes, the warm service really adds to the charm and coziness of thjs place!

Waited in line for about 40 minutes or so on a Sunday morning but the pasties were delicious. The pistachio eclair was the best I’ve ever had. The almond and chocolate croissants were flaky and good. The tomato pastry was amazing and the mushroom one was also a tasty bite! The Palmer was also good. We ordered a few things to try. Overall, it’s delicious! You decide if the wait is worth it. 😊 For us, it was because we wanted to give it a try!

Wasn't super impressed. As someone who was visiting from oklahoma I expected more from Seattle food and coffee. Out of all the sweets we gor the eclair pistachio was the best. The brioche raspberry had almost no filling. All bread. The latte was more bitter then I would normally like even with a bunch of syrup. Probably wouldn't come back again

Beautiful food and atmosphere. I truly wish I would have grabbed more but I will know for my second visit there! 🥰

Great pastries are located here. The wait can reach around the building so be sure and get there early. Seating is available inside and you can enjoy your pastries while Pike street market operates.

One of the best chocolate croissant I have had! So so good! Yes there ends up being a long line at times but it's so worth the wait. I did not get a chance to try some of the other options but I cant wait to visit again.

The intoxicatingly smells of the fresh bread and croissant wafting from this shop will draw you in immediately. The baked goods are on par with what you get in Europe. This is worth all the wait and hype. The service is friendly and fast. Seating is hard to find because it’s always busy but still totally worth your while.

Stumbled across them on our walk from our hotel to the space needle. Man, I am glad we did too. With so many choices of delicious doughnuts, it was hard to choose just one. I went with the maple frosted pumpkin and could have ate 10 more before leaving. I also tried their Vietnamese style cold brew and it was delicious. I recommend getting a dozen to go!

The doughnuts are sub par at best. We got the pumpkin cinnamon sugar, glazed pumpkin, chocolate sandcastle, cookies and cream, Bavarian cream and the purshing. The only one that was any good was the galzed pumpkin, it was very pumpkin spice and not actual pumpkin unfortunately. The cinnamon sugar was a doughy cinnamon sugar donut. The sandcastle was absolutely disgusting. The cookies and cream was ok but dry, need to have a milk with it. The Bavarian was ok but nothing special and the purshing was basically a grocery store cinnamon roll. So many better quality and prices doughnuts out there.

I love this space for the bookshelf walls and large windows with natural sunlight. It’s perfect for sitting down with a hot drink and reading a book. I loved the Seattle fog drink and the cinnamon sugar old fashioned, but the seasonal blueberry fritter was extremely dry and stale, practically inedible. It tasted like it was a few days old and that was unacceptable for such a reputable establishment like Top Pot. I would come again to try other menu items but that fritter left a really bad impression if I’m honest.

The donuts are beautiful. The Double Trouble, chocolate cake donut was the reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2. It had a nice balance of chocolate and sugar without going overboard on the sweetness. The apple fritter and the plain old-fashioned both had a "day old" taste. The glazed old-fashioned tasted much fresher (probably because of the glaze), but it was more "cakey" than expected for an old-fashioned donut.

I felt so happy to find a new cozy spot in Seattle! The staff were all so friendly and warm. Honestly, the doughnuts and latte were just okay, but I absolutely loved the atmosphere — large windows, bookshelves, and plenty of seating. You can even watch the monorail passing by through the window. I spent hours reading books and writing some notes here. Definitely visit again. 🤍

Vietnamese Cold Brew was quite sweet as expected, so I liked the flavor, but the amount of ice was more than I hoped = lesser amount of actual coffee than I hoped. Donuts were delicious, but the texture of the donuts here resembled that of carrot cake? or pound cake? rather than chewy texture, so it wasn’t my fav kind of donut.

Had a great experience this morning at Top Pot. I ducked in to grab a dozen donuts for my coworkers. Super friendly service; the guy at the counter helped me pick the perfect dozen. I continued my walk to work (in a downpour), and felt a tap on the shoulder two blocks from the shop. It was the counter guy; someone had left a card case on the counter, and he ran after me thinking it was mine. It wasn’t, but the fact that he went above & beyond made a huge impression; not too many workers in Seattle would do that. TL;DR: Top Pot makes good donuts and hires good people.

Nice cozy bakery cafe in the neighbourhood. They have a variety of breakfast options like pastries and sandwiches. The sandwiches are pre-made and they just warm them up. Vegetarian sandwich options are limited. The ambient is good and the staff are friendly.

Solid bakery fit a great morning start. Coffee was refreshing as well. We ate here before embarking on our cruise travels to Alaska…it was a short walk from the pier. The people seemed especially hospitable and we enjoyed our quick breakfast.

Friendly staff and quick service. I got a latte, which was excellent with beautiful presentation. I also got a Bialy Breakfast Sandwich, which was good, but could have used more goat cheese and filling in general relative to bread. Would go again, but I might choose a pastry next time.

The food is decent. No bacon tho on the bacon egg and cheese bagel. That was a bummer. They cant do substitutions because the sandwiches are pre-made. I also with there was a sauce on the bagel. My wife got the cate sandwhich. She said it was pretty good. We also got the pecan roll and the orange hazelnut pinwheel which were both good. Cute little shop for a coffee and a quick bite.

Super cozy little cafe serving up some delicious baked goods and sandwiches. I had a quiche and a fresh baked pastry. The quiche tasted fresh and delicious and I would definitely have it again. The baked good I had was also fresh and fantastic

Way too sweet & dirty inside. Flies on the pastries and circling the seating area. Matcha latte tasted like Trader Joe’s instant mix. Star for friendly service.

I really wanted to love this spot but unfortunately the food didn’t hit the marks for me. This is my second Google review ever but I feel called to share my experience. Everything about the place is charming I love the cute neighborhood location very PNW. However, this was our first time getting the breakfast sandwiches and it left us severely disappointed. We ordered the Baily sandos and they came luke warm, with close to raw onions (that were supposed to be sweet and roasted), they were poorly put together, and had cold overly cooked eggs. I think if you’re going to spend $11.75 on an egg sandwich at least the eggs should be cooked properly. It felt like the sandwich was just slapped together with little care. I work in the food industry and understand the pressure of a busy morning with high tickets…. BUT, I also know that taking a few extra seconds to make sure the food you’re serving is as best as it can be can go a long way. I probably will not return as I don’t feel it is worth the price. I think if some adjustments were made the product would be 100x better.

We stopped in Three Girls Bakery for a quick lunch bite across from the Pike Fish Market. Service was good, especially from the girl/lady behind the seated counter area who prepared the meatloaf sandwich. Fortunately, we asked her to split it and she plated half on 2 plates for us. See the attached picture to see how huge a half sandwich is! The meatloaf itself was a bit dry and more like a medium well hamburger patty than a moist meatloaf with seasoning inside. HOWEVER, that seasonings put on top/ below the meat slice were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend you try it, or one of the other sandwiches!!!! Atmosphere is what you expect for a walk up with a few seats at a counter, in a busy market area. YUM

Classic Bakes for a Quick Bite! Plenty of delicious options baked fresh daily. It’s to-go only, perfect for strolling through Pike Place Market or enjoying during a break while people-watching. Located just off the first right turn from the main entrance on First Avenue. Reasonably priced for the area: -Classic Palmier Cinnamon $3: A bit sweet for me, but I appreciated the flaky, buttery layers. -Raspberry Nest Coconut Cookie $4: Loved that the coconut wasn’t overly sweet, but couldn’t really taste any raspberry jam. A solid stop for classic baked goods made fresh.

We got the honey cinnamon croissant, a snicker doodle, a oatmeal chocolate chip, a pumpkin scone and a pumpkin cinnamon roll. The honey cinnamon croissant is what caught our attention, unfortunately it tasted like it was a baked apple, not bad just not what qe wanted or expected. Our favorite item was the pumpkin scone. Both cookies were tatsty just slightly small. The cinnamon roll was good but did not come with any frosting.

Went for breakfast had the breakfast sandwitch which is a croissant stuffed with egg, cheese and ham. All though expensive at $15.60 dollars with sales tax. It tasted great and filled me up. The place is also open from 7 a.m. which great as a lot of places are closed till later.

Good stuff here. Between my spouse and I we had a ham and Swiss croissant, and bacon and egg croissant, a chocolate croissant, and a blueberry and lemon muffin. All of them were good and the prices were reasonable for what we got. The cashier was friendly and moved the short line along quickly. Finding the shop was a bit of a process but that was more of an us problem haha. Worth a visit, and revisit honestly.

Their window displays with shelves of diverse pastries and breads is a glorious sight among the many wonders in Pike Place. I ordered the honey walnut rugelach and a chocolate croissant. Both had flaky, buttery layers, but that croissant was something seriously special. It was loaded with quality chocolate. I would love to visit again and try more things!

Ate breakfast here about 8:30 am on a Friday morning. I had a lox & cream cheese bagel and coffee and it was fantastic. Took about 15 minutes to prepare, but the wait was understandable. I got my food to go and ate at some of the common tables in the market.

Incredible chocolate! The hot "drinking" chocolate is divine. Their salted caramels are world famous. The decor is very fancy at this location, and staff were very helpful.

Expensive and fancy little chocolate shop. The free sample as you come in is a nice touch. We didn’t enter planning to buy much, but the staff was so kind that we ended up purchasing one of the lacquer keepsake boxes and filling it with truffles. It was our anniversary, so it only seemed necessary. The dark hazelnut diamonds were by far my favorite, and reminded me of gianduja from Europe. Husband loved the raspberry truffle. We also purchased the grey sea salt dark chocolate thins, which are delicious. This is a fun stop for fine chocolate lovers or for a special occasion.

First time visiting Fran’s and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were all friendly, but Woods truly stood out with her amazing customer service. She was so accommodating for my first visit and recommended the warm matcha latte with caramel, which was absolutely delicious on a chilly day. I also picked up some caramel chocolates—so good! Totally worth the trip. Thank you, Woods, for the wonderful experience and warm welcome. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by!

Love love love. Fran's chocolates are over the top decadant. We were greeted by smiling faces, and a sample of the dark chocolate salted caramel. I was drawn to the bonbons behind thr case - they were so beautiful...were recommended the mixed box of bonbons. Flavors were pistachio, matcha and sesame. Each bonbon had defined flavors my favorite out of the three was sesame. We also took an iced mocha - it was perfectly rich but not overly sweet. The staff were so accommodating. Also everything is packaged so well!

I loved my first visit to Fran's so much that I returned a few days later and tried even more. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I love the coconut almond gold bar and the raspberry truffle. I liked the oolong truffle more than I anticipated (it has layers of taste from start to finish and the tea taste is not overpowering). I had to try the unique sesame bonbon and would get it again. I found the first bite surprising, but the second was the perfect mix of savory and sweet. I anticipate going back when I'm in the area!

Amazing chocolate! Walking through the chocolate boutique was such a pleasant experience. The staff was so friendly and willing to describe their chocolates and the different flavor profiles. I found their chocolates so interesting. My favorite one is the chocolate sesame.

These ladies were so sweet and helpful. The black sesame bonbon I couldn’t get enough of. They were so kind and welcoming to my 3 year old and he got to have chocolate samples too :) I’ve always been a fan and can’t wait to go back. Look at this pretty box

This cute little stall comes out of no where when you move around in pike place market. The cheesecakes are tasty and you can try lot of varieties as you will not be full with one. The cheesecakes are themselves very tiny and delicious but also pack great flavor. Ask for the hot chocolate shots. They are too good. The woman who served us was very friendly and helped us understand the flavors. We had samples of caramel cheesecake when we were at the location so got to taste additional flavor with the one we got.

Got 2 pack with Carmel Cheesecake and Sweet Potato Cheesecake for $13.90. Great for convenience, but flavor was okay. I didn't even finish the Cheesecakes.

Like the idea and the staff were nice but the new York style cheesecake had way too much lemon in it. It tasted like lemon cheesecake not plain. Texture was creamy though and the crust was good just way too much lemon for my taste buds. Little expensive for what you got but would be cute to bring as a party gift.

Absolutely worth it. We love diy, we tried the peanut butter chocolate one and shared it. Unless you have a big sweet tooth I suggest sharing as they are very rich. I would come back here in a heart beat! Perfect to walk around with and enjoy a nice view! The ladies were so nice, and even gave us a sample! So friendly, and great service!

Blink and you will miss it, but trust me, you have to try this place. The mini individual cheesecakes are insanely tasty. Good luck choosing a flavor. I went with the mochaccino. It was amazing. The price is a little high, but one bite, and you’ll be glad you splurged.

I like their sampler that allows you to try their 4 most popular flavors at once. I find their cheesecake is just ok. The chocolate one doesn’t have a very strong chocolate flavor so I was a bit disappointed.

Try the samplers first! If you need their best flavors, morning is the time to visit. You won't find all flavors especially the good ones in the second half of the day. One serving is good for two people since its so rich and dense. They have some good options like pack of 4, 7, 9 to buy in bulk.

Tried La Parisienne French Bakery and had a pretty good experience overall! We ordered both the chocolate mocha and the regular mocha—both were excellent, rich, and perfectly balanced. Their pastries were delicious too, with a beautifully crisp crust that stood out. The vibe of the place is relaxed and cool, making it a great spot to hang out for a while. They also have an extensive variety of food options for a bakery, which was impressive. We did take a tiramisu to go, but unfortunately, it had gone bad by the time we got home, which was disappointing. That aside, it was a good visit, and I’d be open to trying it again.

Feels like we’re in Paris! The lady who helped us was so very friendly and helpful. We had a great experience and enjoyed our food so very much! The granola was unique, unlike anything I’d ever had with some small pieces of meringue in it. Very delicious! The eggs were super fresh.

Truly Excellent French-Style Bakery and Coffee This is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality baked goods. The selection of bread and pastries here is superb. Having visited local bakeries in Paris last year, I can confidently say the quality and flavor profile here are nearly identical. Everything I tried was exceptionally well-made. Both the bread and the pastries are of seriously high quality. As a bonus, the coffee flavor is also very good—a balanced and flavorful pairing for the baked items. This place is highly recommended if you're looking for an authentic and high-end bakery experience.

A bit loud for me, but the food was solid, and the coffee was pretty ok. My latte was a little bitter, but if you’re not a coffee snob like I apparently am, it’s great! Their deserts looked particularly delicious! The stag was very kind as well.

I happen upon this fantastic little bakery while biking around Seattle visiting after many years. What a delightful experience. I felt like I was in Paris. A glass of sparkling wine, a small pastry and two macaron. PARFAIT! The pastries were wonderful and the service was attentive and very friendly.

Elegant ambience. The almond croissant was stunning. Mt raininer was too good - extremely tasty with right sweet, sourness and texture.

This storefront bakery is quite pleasant when you first walk in. The fresh smell of a bakery first hits the senses and your mouth begins to water. I was the only person in line at the counter just looking over what I wanted to order while the girl behind the counter finished helping the person in front of me. Then just as she finished, another person walked in behind me whom I guess she knew because she welcomed him very friendly. He then told her what he wanted and she quickly got it for him without even saying anything to me. This of course took me aback because first off he knew I was before him, and second she knew I was before him. Oh well, moving on. I got my order and all the bakes looked delicious. I ordered multiple things to give it a fair chance at taste. I'll start with the creme patissiere, it was flavorless. I didn't taste it at all in the pain au raisin, which I'm sure is supposed to be there. The hazelnut pastry didn't have much hazelnut flavor. And lastly the macarons almost broke my tooth biting into one of them, they're supposed to be soft and chewy. On a good note, the almond pastry was delicious. If it weren't for the fact that this place is really overpriced then I would go back for this one thing. The plain croissant was also good, but I hope it would be for a French bakery. Anyhow, I hope your experience is better than mine.

5 Stars – A nostalgic treat! This place is absolutely adorable with a fun retro vibe! We ordered the toasted marshmallow sundae and it was SO good — rich chocolate sauce, creamy vanilla ice cream, and perfectly torched marshmallows on top. Sweet, gooey, and indulgent in the best way! Great spot to treat yourself after exploring Pike Place. Will definitely come back to try their floats next time!

We were looking for some ice cream and landed upon Shug's. A small, cute place that had plenty of flavors and sundae's to choose from. I ordered the Big Eddie and it hit the spot. The service was quick and very friendly. The only thing I would say is that the place was very stuffy. I don't know if the AC was not working or if it's just the way the place is, but it was stuffy inside. I would definitely come back here to try some of their other flavors.

If you’re at Pike Place Market in Seattle, this is the perfect time of year to treat yourself to some delicious ice cream! The place offers a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and the staff is super friendly and helpful—they’re happy to offer suggestions if you’re unsure what to pick. It’s a cute little spot that’s totally worth a stop. No harm in indulging—this ice cream is definitely worth trying!

Shug's is an ice cream parlor on the top of Pike Place Market. It's easy to get to but parking on this area can be a real pain so be prepared to walk. Inside, they have a lot of tabletop seating to fit probably 2 dozen people. Their menu is a good size, with ice cream and soda combinations. Pricing is a bit high but that's normal for this area, although portion sizes are decent. The staff here are so friendly and fun to be around. The ice cream is great, nothing too over the top. The s'mores sundae is delicious. Overall it's a great spot for a snack or a date spot.

Fun vibe, friendly service, and tasty ice cream. It was a bit pricey, but sundaes are a better deal than the typical scoops. I really enjoyed the mint chocolate chip, and I liked a couple of chocolate flavors that I tried. Only downsides were the long line, limited seating, and hot temps inside.

Sooo good!! I saw people getting sundaes and they looked amazing, such a wide variety of options on the menu. I had already eaten recently, so i just got a scoop of vanilla with the toasted marshmallows, and even thought it was a basic flavor, it was crazy rich and creamy. Left me wanting to try more!!

Honestly some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Super creamy, not too crazy sweet, and just flavored very nicely. I had the Earl Grey flavor and my wife had the Coffee flavor, and both were excellent on a hot summer day. Fairly priced for how high the quality is. The wait time was longer than preferred, but the area is super busy so I understand.

Twice baked almond croissant: good, definitely would be better if it’s heated up and flakier. Apricot brioche: not a fan, idk taste kinda weird. Like it has a bit of savoriness but then I’d expect it to be more of a sweet pastry given the apricot and cream cheese center. There’s no seating area, but there’s a small park across with benches

Cute bakery…would love it if they had some more vegan options. The zebra loaf and strawberry-rhubarb tart were delicious. Everything else not so much…the chai did not taste good…way too many spices, and neither did the macaroons. We tried the passion fruit, vanilla, pumpkin, and chocolate. The flavor was off and the texture was soft instead of crisp.

PRICEY!!! Rang up $30+ for three items ouch. The twice baked chocolate croissant was a lot stiffer & harder than a croissant of this style usually is. Personally thought it was lacking chocolate throughout. Also got pesto chicken pizza (not shown), it was fun to try but not worth ordering again. The brisket croissant was the star of the show. Super light and fluffy, especially compared to the twice baked. However, wouldn’t say the $15 price tag matches the portion size. The staff were incredibly friendly, possibly the most positive experience in the city.

So I’ve been coming here for years and have noticed a decline in quality and service. In these times, I’d rather save $25 and make breakfast at home. Today we got the ham and cheese croissant and the junction croissant. The ham and cheese croissant was flimsy and underbaked. There were no layers like you’d expect when eating a croissant. Regarding service, I understand morning rushes are hectic and am not expecting staff to be all smiles. But two years ago, staff would put the junction sandwich in two bags because it didn’t fit in the box. Today they shoved it in the box, and the scrambled eggs fell out of the sandwich onto the bottom of box (the eggs were wet). This is on top of their uncoordinated flow of helping customers with their orders, and general vibe apathy and callousness.

The croissants here are consistently incredible. I usually come for the sweet pastries, but my recent obsession has been their savory sandwiches!

I've been going here for years and can't believe that I haven't written a review. Hands down, they have my favorite croissant of all time. I ate one every morning on a trip to Paris at different patisseries, and none of those were as good as Bakery Nouveau. Please never change your croissants and you'll always have a loyal customer.

I visited Bakery Nouveau in Seattle early one morning, and wow, it was already buzzing with people grabbing their pastries! The energy was infectious, and I could see why it’s so popular. I ordered the Twice Baked Almond Croissant and the Twice Baked Chocolate Croissant, and they were absolutely divine—flaky, rich, and bursting with flavor. These croissants are hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had! Bakery Nouveau is a must-visit spot in Seattle. I wish I’d had time to try more of their pastries, but I’m already looking forward to my next trip back to dive into their menu again. Don’t miss this gem!

A tiny cute bakery. There are small round tables inside, outside has benchs, a few tables and stools. Parking may little tricky since they locates on a big road. Small celections but they keep baking so that they restock their products pretty often. We were there on Sunday around 10 am. Busy and already a line of people. We got 2 quiche, 2 pastries and a cup of chai. Cardamom pretzel was amazing. Quiches were ok. We would like to try their other pastries for next time.

Pretty cozy neighborhood bakery with a great variety of pastries and brews Herkimer coffee. There is often a short line outside the shop shortly but it moves fast, the staff is friendly and does a good job taking care of folks. I started with their butter croissants, it's flaky and tastes pretty good. I then tried some other stuff like the chocolate pistachio babka and savory croissant. Always happy with what I got. The service was friendly and prices were fair. I would come back again when I come to this neighborhood.

Worth the wait! They have a large selection of unique, delicious pastries that are well priced. I had the pistachio croissant and it was fantastic! There’s indoor and outdoor seating and the food is packaged nicely for take-away, as well. You can buy whole bean coffee in addition to your typical coffee drinks. A must visit and conveniently located near the farmer’s market!

I came here on a cloudy Sunday and ordered a Pain au Chocolat after a few minutes of waiting. I like the slight bitterness of the chocolate with the crispy layers of the croissant. Worth waiting in a line for this.

"Oh snap!" is all I can say. Had a croissant with bacon and it's a good thing I was sitting down. Buttery? Check! Flaky? Check! Light and fluffy? Check! Check! My day was done after eating this bit of heaven. Do yourself a favor if in Ballard and get a bunch of these to share with friends.

A little bit disappointed after reading all the rave reviews. As of now, they will only accept orders via the online system, which is fine and all. However, it takes about 25 minutes for the order to be ready after placing it online. I arrived at the store unknowingly and placed the order online; I had to wait 25 minutes before the order was ready even though there were no lines at the store and there were two other smaller orders being prepped while I was there. All I ordered was one croissant, two slices of lemon bread, and one muffin - which were all already present at the glass display. I'm not sure why it took 25 minutes with 3 employees at the front. Moreover, a lot of the pastries were sold out by 12 PM. The process was so inefficient that I saw other customers leave after seeing that they had to wait so long. Furthermore, only the croissant was decent. The other pastries I ordered were not memorable and the taste was subpar (lemon bread and blueberry/lemon muffin thing) - quite bland, to be honest. For the inconvenient wait time and inefficient ordering system, you can have better pastries elsewhere within a couple steps away.

Googled coffeshop and Besalu popped up.. I mentioned they had great reviews and this was my first time in. I ordered a beautiful machinations and the Barista gave me a chocolate croissant on the house! I highly recommend this place . Great customer service and coffee and awesome customer service!

Super cute spot. Came here before hitting the Asian art museum. Coffee was so good... perfect micro foam! Toast was amazing! It was pretty small inside but there is outside seating as well. Definitely worth a visit. Cookies are super good too!

My favorite cafe in Seattle so far! You can take a nice walk around Volunteer Park and stop by this cafe for a treat or beverage afterward! I recommend the crumble cake (100/10)! This time I got the bagel breakfast sandwich, which is delicious as well! Highly recommend!

A nice little coffee shop/cafe in the neighborhood north of downtown Seattle. The two drinks we ordered were both tasty, and we also enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie with cherries along with the yummy carrot cake. This place has limited seating inside and unfortunately all tables were being used by people no longer eating or drinking but working on their laptops. Unfortunately this is allowed and means no seating for new paying customers.

Found this gem while completing a neighborhood stroll. Such a quaint place. In the middle of a residential area, tree lined streets. Street parking. Limited tables. Coffee, pastry’s, etc. pet and kid friendly. Lines might be long and tables go fast.

I like this cafe mostly bc it’s the closet cafe to the park. The food is Ok; not amazing but at least it’s not too heavy and the beet hummus had a nice garlicky flavor. The portions are on the small side. Seating is limited so prepare to wait for 15-30 min. for a table. They haven’t implemented a time limit on tables which they should given how popular it is on weekends during the summer. Overall, this is a decent cafe if you’re looking to grab a small healthy bite before heading to the park.

The breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious — it really lived up to its reputation. I especially loved the crispy bits of bacon mixed in; they added such a nice crunch. The egg was soft and moist, and of course, the bread was great too. For dessert, I ordered a banana muffin, a mini crumble pie, and a chocolate cake — all of them were amazing, but the chocolate cake stood out the most. It was rich and fudgy without being too heavy, and it paired perfectly with the cappuccino I ordered. The cappuccino was smooth and nutty, and my friend keeps saying we should go back again just for that chocolate cake!

We lucked out finding this place after visiting the Asian Art Museum in a charming area of the Capitol Hill section of Seattle. The cafe is small and homey with welcoming staff. Although the menu is limited (breakfast/lunch), the food is inventive, homemade and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the avocado toast with Za'star, mushroom soup and potato topped bread. This is a must come back to place for us!

i have eaten dozens of intrigue chocolate bars and given dozens as gifts. its a perfect little surprise to offer a friend- i tie a ribbon around it and boom- sweet gift for any occasion.

Had a long lay over in Seattle and found this shop wondering around. The owner was very friendly and help me pick out some dark chocolates which turned out to all be amazing. The Sobolo was delicious and had a very unique flavor that I recommend anyone to try out.

Huge chocolate person. Hands down some of the best chocolate I’ve ever had. The service is great and the staff is very knowledgeable about their chocolate and can recommend the best chocolates for your tastes or ideas. Lots of amazing chocolate from all over the world to try in convenient tasting bars and much more. Truly makes an amazing gift or to satisfy that chocolate craving.

Awesome place to try exotic chocolate chocolate flavors that come and go with the seasons, including herbal and savory flavors. They have over 300 flavors throughout the year and allow you to taste test them before you buy, which is super fun. And delicious, so hard to pick a favorite!

As a Chocoholic, am always in search of the best locally owned and operated Chocolate place and INTRIGUE got me good. Meeting the owner Aaron and sampling most of his offerings was and is a fabulous Pallatially Orgasmic experience..wait till I taste the hot chocolate brew... If you are a Chocoholic, a chocolate lover, or Intrigued (double entendre) , do yourself a favor and get to Intrigue Chicolate either by King Station or up in Capitol Hill... Chocolate Heaven.. The also ship across the US..

This is a great place that has high quality chocolate truffles with interesting flavor combinations. They also have great hot cocoa and other chocolate related items. They also have a cool photo wall as you walk in and you can take a photo for free but a 3 dollar donation is encouraged.

Delightful service. Chocolate is delicate and flavorful. They have a free art tile wall!!!

I was thrilled to discuss my daughter's wedding cake plans with Simply Desserts. As regulars from Ballard, our absolute favorite was the white chocolate strawberry, which we often ordered for birthdays and special occasions. Naturally, it was a key part of our wedding planning. We decided to order a customized 9-in for the engagement party in July. As instructed on the website and the outgoing voicemail, I promptly called to place an order for the cake. When I did not receive a response, I called again and left a voice message with my specific request and phone number, mentioning that I had already called once. That was two weeks ago, and I have still not received a reply. Since this cake is totally worth the trouble, I traveled 40 minutes to order the cake, but they decided to close for the weekend without notice on their website, and despite only being open to customers two days a week. More than frustrating. After some research, it appears that the lovely little bakery that was Simply Desserts has been acquired by armatures who lack business management skills and apparently experience in crafting exceptional cakes. They’ve reportedly ruined it with new, crappy recipes. The reviews are 100% negative with no more than 2 stars. Heartbreaking to see this happen to a once lovely little bakery, and to know we won’t be enjoying that iconic cake at the wedding. But thank goodness we dodged that bullet!

I've been a die hard To-Go customer for a few years now but after the new renovation I just had to stay and try their afternoon tea! The infusion of Filipino flavors made this high tea so special. You can tell the team here baked with their heart and puts their culture on ornate vintage tea plates with love. 1000% will be back!

When we moved to Fremont, we were delighted to have this dessert spot nearby. Back then the cakes were delicious and felt like we got more than enough in a slice. We went to pick up some slices today and only when we got home we noticed how small the slices have become. Even though we still do find the cakes delicious, it's hard to justify the cost when the prices keep going up and the sizes go down

One of my favorite spots for dessert in Seattle. They sell cake by the slice and it's rich, dense, and delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite, but the birthday cake is one of my go-tos. They're cash-only, so be ready for that. They also do whole custom cakes if you order ahead. But everything is really pricey here! Thankfully the slices are big enough to split with a friend.

wow. this place has amazing cake. I appreciate the very unique flavors this place has to offer, the ube and london fog flavors pair so well. and both cakes are perfectly moist and sweet. this place is such a great addition to the neighborhood, and i will be back to try more flavors! i recommend coming here over the brownie place up the street that serves raw cookies and bricks for brownies.

Decided to get a custom cake done for our two year old. The owners were extremely nice and had great communication leading up to us picking it up. Cake tasted amazing. I’m not a cake guy but I liked how dense it was. Not fluffy and messy like some others. We’ll be coming back next year :)

This place went above and beyond for my custom cake order! I ordered 3 different flavors on top of it being tres leches and they exceeded my expectations! I recommend this place 100%, it was so hard finding a place that did custom cake orders in sea on top of the flavors I was asking and they made it happen for me.

Ive never had a bad treat from here, but a few of their shining goods: PB cookies, focaccia, and ham & cheese croissant. This is the best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had! It’s so easy to make a bad peanut butter cookie, which is why, imho, they’re so under-appreciated. However, CC Bakery knows the secret to an excellent PB cookie! Chewy, not hard; high in PB flavor—not covered in sugar or distracted by chocolate chips. The ham & cheese croissant is large and they don’t skimp on the fillings! The hours here are weird and there isn’t a lot of indoor seating, but the food is worth it!

I had a walk-in visit one day and got a traditional croissant. In fact, I got two because they sell everything in boxes of two (which definitely pisses me off). The croissants look more American than French, you know, like an apple pie or a mushroom turnover, but they taste surprisingly not bad at all, and the cross section reveals some really crafty lamination. Columbia City Bakery currently only opens two days a week from 10a to 3p, so it's not easy to get something casually from them. Maybe I'll come back when their operations come back to normal.

Delicious local bakery in the Columbia City neighborhood. I bought chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies this visit. The chocolate chip cookies are baked with walnuts and toffee. Delicious! They have lots of other tasty options including scones, croissants, sandwiches, and coffee. PS If you found this review helpful, please "heart" it. Thank you!

I really like the pastry. Croissant is very well laminated. My problem is the operations hours (evaluated as service here). I’d expect - mainly on working days - that a bakery would be open before 8am. It’s frustrating and inaccessible for people who work regular working hours.

Columbia City Bakery is by far the best bakery in the area. I ordered cinnamon twist, lemon bar, and lavender lemon cake. They all were phenomenal. The lemon wasn't too over powering. I can't wait to come here again. Must go if you haven't already. Columbia City Bakery has limiting seating but there is a park close by so you can head over there. Also they sell out pretty fast so get there early.

Passed by this place on a Saturday. There was a good queue of people outside waiting to place their orders. It took about 10 minutes or so to get the order in and about another 5 or so minutes to get the order. Looked like there was a good selection of items. Ordered a curry potato and cauliflower hand pie. It was very warm on the outside and a little cool on the inside. The dough was very flaky and a little oily. It was very filled which was nice. I wish I had a little bit of salt to bring out more of the curry flavor. Also ordered a couple of blondies. Liked it because it was a nice big cookie shaped like a brownie. Would be good with some vanilla sauce.

I am new to this neighborhood and I'm proud and glad this is our bakery! I just got a whole wheat sourdough and a pistachio snail pastry that is mind-blowing good I'm glad that the pastry wasn't that big else it would be sinful! People commented that they were forced to buy two of the same items and I was concerned at first for someone with a small household but I'm glad that this wasn't the case I was there today :) Staff was so polite and helpful and gave me a recommendation for a loaf with my requirements. Let's support small local businesses! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Feel completely robbed. I bought three chocolate croissants, and as I was about to pay, a young lady told me the third one was offered because it was slightly damaged. I appreciated the gesture and thought it was a nice commercial move. But in the end, I was charged around $20 and realized I had actually paid for the damaged one. Even worse, when I opened the box, none of the croissants were fluffy; they were very hard, almost as if they were failed batches. I feel totally ripped off paying for that. It’s not professional, nor respectful toward customers. I definitely do not recommend this store.

Small but mighty. Great coffee. The cherry hand pie at this location was way too crumbly, falling apart in my hands as I bit it ..I would guess from too much shortening or lard. The nectarine upside down cake was better. I would rank the new MI location over this one on every level but as far as Queen Anne goes...a solid bakery stop.

I have been here a couple of times and I like this place. I liked their blueberry scope and the croissants and recommend them. We also tried the bagel with creme cheese and salmon which was good as well. My wife tried the sausage and kale strata which was nice as well. I liked the bagel and salmon better.

I love this place! Local bakery with space to sit and enjoy company with treats in hand. I recommend their bagels and breakfast sandwiches 100% Also perfect for lunch or just grabbing desserts.

Best avocado toast I've had in my life! I've been dozens of times to their several locations, and the pastries and food are always top notch. But today they outdid themselves. The avocado was creamy and unadulterated, the bread was the perfect crunchy grainy texture, and the lemon vinaigrette was the perfect zesty counterpoint to all the other flavors. Service was great as usual. And it's always a pleasant place to sit, at every location, flooded with light.

We tried the blueberry scone and almond pinwheel, they were more like bread, very little sugar, nothing special

Macrina is my go-to when I want a sure thing for pastries and bread. Classics like the croissants sell out, so mornings are your friend. Coffee is solid, and locations feel bright and welcoming—easy for quick catch-ups. If you’re headed east, the Mercer Island café is a convenient stop right off I-90. Everything travels well; I often grab a loaf to elevate a simple dinner at home.

TLDR; bakery with a range of offerings and quality products We came in for a small bite on a rainy day and were overall quite happy with our experience here. Between the two of us we ordered an iced mocha (way too sweet, do not recommend), a cappuccino and some food - almond fold, chocolate thumbprint, lingonberry tart and the onion cheese puff. The puff is the real winner here - it’s so incredibly flavorful that I’ll definitely come back for more. Docked a start because I wish the shortbread cookies were a little less sweet. Coffee was ok - I’ve definitely had better.

I highly recommend visiting this place at least once if you want to eat just normal cookies like chocolate chip or peanut butter as well as if you would like to taste something very specific like marzipan pastries, semlor or  white chocolate mousse with strawberry coulis. Thank you for bringing the rich traditions of Scandinavian baking to Seattle! You definitely made Seattle more special, unique and international! Also, always nice and friendly service!

This is a very nice bakery that's an 11min drive from Green Lake. They have an awesome selection of breads, cakes and pastries to choose from. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is nice. They've also got stickers if you like to collect those for places you've been. And there is decent parking in the area along the streets. Highly recommend.

I love Byen Bakeri. My usual birthday ritual is to buy many slices of cake to take home and also a lil somethin to eat right then and there. They even sell bday candles right there at the counter. Walk across the street down by the office buildings and find the perfect bench by the Fremont Cut to watch the boats go by. Sometimes you can even catch sight of the Fremont Bridge rising up! For this birthday I got a slice of Princess cake (an absolute MUST), carrot cake, raspberry cake, and of course chocolate ganache cake. All delicious! Thank you Byen Bakeri!

I visited a couple of times after trying the tarts at a dinner party. The tarts were excellent (especially if you are a fan of marzipan). First visit the service was so-so. Not great, not bad - indifferent is the word. Second time was not a good experience at all. Extremely discourteous and juvenile. I don’t remember ordering a double eye-roll from both people working behind the counter. Poor customer service does seem to be a trend here - I for one will not return.

A friend wanted to share this bakery with me. Oh my goodness. So many wonderful things to choose from. I ordered a nonfat latte flavored with cardamom. Delicious! For food I ordered a ham and cheese puff, which was basically a roll filled with, you guessed it, ham and cheese. I also ordered a sweet pecan roll to have something sweet. The coffee was made to order and perfect. The ham and cheese was fresh, but maybe next time I’ll stick with sweet things. The sticky pecan roll had just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. Can’t wait to go back and try more sweet goods.

Delicious Scandinavian bakery in Seattle! The selection is vast and tasty, from cakes and pastries to sandwiches and open-faced bread. The Radical chocolate chip cookies were a hit with a kid! The staff is friendly and there is a restroom available for the customers. However, the ambiance is lacking. To truly capture the hygge vibe, please consider adding more cozy touches, like plush seating and warm lighting, live plants and nice cutlery/plates. With a few design tweaks and some elbow grease, this place could be truly special!

I’m so glad we stopped here while we were in the international district. We only got two malasadas, as we had lunch right before. If we are nearby again, I will definitely stop by so I can try some of their savory pastries. Both of them were so good, my favorite was the ube, but we also got a strawberry which was delicious too! As the other reviews mention, it is window service only so you cannot go inside.

Its not like modern bakerys You just order at the door and your good. But you can definitely taste that they perfected everything they have. Yes I have tried it all. The curry and ube and the crunch creme are my fave and recently the one with actual strawberry on top.

I special ordered a cheesecake and cat macarons for a 16th birthday party I threw for my cat, Lucifer. Everything was perfectly done and so delicious! The cat macarons had different expressions on them, which my guests adored. The order was also completed on time and I picked it up without any issue. Thank you so much! I will definitely order from here again for future events.

Great place to get Japanese milk bread (shokupan) - $4 for half a loaf. Excited to come back to try the curry buns. No indoor seating at this location.

Cute bakery with a wide selection of pastries. The azuki malasada was delicious and not too sweet.

FYI: I came to Fuji because an employee of another bakery recommended this one. Just saying... Food: I had a plain croissant, a doughnut, and a pear, custard, and pastry delight thing. The donuts are sold in orders of 4, not individually. All were rich, and not oily or fatty, not overly sweet either. The pastries were delicious. Service: The young man forgot to include a raspberry/lemon curd pastry i ordered as well, and was charged for. The only reason I gave a 3 on service. The customer looks at available pastries from outside the store through a window. The employee then packs your order and you pay at the window. Its not self service. Getting your order packed is a service they provide. So... But easy remedy, next time I'll check the bag before leaving, not in the Uber, on the way home. Atmosphere is great. Beautiful Chinatown. There's an awesome plaza/park across the street. Asian staples like lanterns adorning the overhead, ping pong tables always full, benches with game boards in laid, and communal/social interaction. Love it. You can easily walk across the street and enjoy those pastries there. And this gem is right next door to A+ Hong Kong restaurant (also a gem).

My sister in law chose this place for a quick morning snack. It was all new to us and we were from out of town, Vancouver, Canada. Located in the international district, at first glance the store doesn’t look like much and the door is blocked up with a wooden board. You can’t go inside. It’s a takeout place only. I think I can understand its concept. This part of town looks a bit rough around the edges. But we could care less. We are here to judge the food instead. We were also told by local patrons that it’s normal for a line up this early any day of the week. We ordered a few items to start off. My personal favourite so far is the Japanese curry beef bun. Loved the layers of texture. Crunch on the outside, followed by a pillow layer of the bun on the inside, and the center filling which is the star of the show. Man these can be deadly. I could eat 6 of them. You can also ask for them to be warmed if you didn’t know. Primarily if it’s your first time here, they are known for their malasada. Definitely get one of these. As for price… well… It’s on the high side. If your Canadian like me add another 40% to your items, that’s what your paying. But that’s not my complaint. My only complaint is that they posted a sign for their drinks with prices… but they don’t post prices for their pastries? What’s up with that?

I enjoy visiting bakeries all over the world. Nielsen’s is a bakery not to miss when in Seattle, a staple in the community since 1965. The interior may not have changed much and shows its maturity, adding to its appeal. The traditional Danish pastries are fantastic and so is the coffee. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy this cozy, family bakery. The service was excellent and friendly. I’m glad I had an opportunity to visit!

Love this place. I enjoy the unique pastries, the low key danish vibe, and their focus on “doing the right thing”. Particularly a big fan of their whole wheat pastries- I wish that were common. Their “potato” is really good. The perfect level of sweetness and creaminess to make it melt in your mouth. There’s a small kids space too.

I absolutely love Danish pastries! The potato dessert is a must-try and quite popular. The cafe is small and cozy, with a wonderful vibe. They aren't open in the evenings, so mornings are the best time to enjoy. Parking is difficult to find.

Great lower Queen Anne bakery and coffee shop specializing in Danish pastries. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The environment is cozy. The coffee and pastries are delicious. There's a kid's nook in the corner that keeps little ones occupied. Fantastic coffee shop for the entire family.

Oh my goodness!!! I drive 30 miles to have the potato and snitter! All my friends want me to drive them there after I share pastries with them! We love their pastries, the staff are amazing and the vibe of the bakery is “welcome to all!” We LOVE this place. Been going here they were in downtown Seattle but I like the Lowe Queen Anne location better! Everything is worth the calories so if they are out of Snitters…it means you got there too late and you should try something else💖 Support our local businesses!!!

Small cafe in lower queen anne uptown area. Yummy danish pastry and good selection of coffee. Huge selection of other pastries too. Nice place to chill - I came here on a weekend thankfully wasnt very crowded.. they have a few books and games for you to read/play while you're in! Definitely a good neighborhood gem and a must go if you’re looking for authentic pastries and support local business. This was the first cafe I chilled when checking out the city of Seattle’s neighborhoods!

Great place for coffee and and the “Egg Mc Nielson” is really good!!! The attention and service is out of this world.

Ok here’s the thing, its for me easily the best dessert in Seattle, no doubt. But some of the staff at this location were kinda snappy (though Ive been to the Ballard location and they were insanely friendly) and the other huge thing that turns me away from giving 5 stars is the price! I get Seattle is expensive but wow! Around $16 for one small cake and scoop of ice cream? Either way, it’s insanely delicious and maybe the price is a good thing, keeps me from eating it every night.

Great desserts, a bit pricy but really hits the spot for a late night sweet treat. Very creative flavors including monthly/seasonal specials. Spicy mocha I give 3/5 (wasn’t that spicy/unique) but the Jaipur Chai molten cake w ice cream was a 5/5 and the main reason we came. Crème brûlée 4/5

One of the must-visit dessert spots in Seattle! The dark chocolate molten cake was absolutely delicious, and the brownie molten cake with vanilla ice cream was out of this world. The ambiance added to the experience, making it a great place to visit

To start they had what looked to be six employees working but only two of them were actually doing what they are being paid to do. This resulted in us getting the wrong order. We didn’t want to bother the two working employees so we just ate it and it was nasty, maybe we just aren’t used to gluten free stuff but we didn’t not like it and not only that it was under cooked. None of the six employees emptied the place for dirty plates so that was over flowing but yet we were only one of three customers in there so who knows how long those dirty plates were there. I would skip this expensive place and go to Chilis to get a lava cake and better service for half the price.

The s’more cake was made perfectly.The marshmallow on top was gooey, chewy, and creamy.Plus it was crunchy. The chocolate layer cake was immensely soft and the best one I have ever eaten!

Cold weather and ice cream make for a perfect pairing. I stopped by Hot Cakes on a bustling Saturday night to pick up an order. Known for their indulgent chocolate cakes, I decided to try something different for takeout: the Blondie Sundae and the Sticky Toffee Pumpkin Pie. The Pumpkin Pie was a delightful choice—not overly sweet and perfectly complemented by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The Blondie Sundae, on the other hand, had a cookie-like base that leaned on the sweeter side, but the salted caramel topping brought it all together beautifully. The ambience inside looked inviting, and I’m already planning to return for a dine-in experience soon. As for the pickup, it was impressively fast—ready in under 5 minutes. The service here is top-notch!

Hot Cakes is a cozy spot with undeniably good desserts and coffee. Their molten chocolate cakes are rich, gooey, and indulgent, and the coffee pairs perfectly with the sweetness of their treats. The quality is solid, and the presentation is great. That being said, I don’t quite understand the hype. While the desserts are nice, they don’t feel groundbreaking, and the place can get quite crowded, which sometimes makes the experience less enjoyable. It’s still a great place to visit if you’re in the mood for something sweet and comforting.

Tried the seasonal German Chocolate Cake flavor—absolutely delicious! The rich melted chocolate ice cream is swirled with thick ribbons of homemade vanilla bean caramel, toasted coconut, and chunks of moist devil’s food cake. A decadent treat that perfectly balances sweetness and texture. The University Village location offers a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot to indulge in unique, locally sourced flavors. Molly Moon’s commitment to quality ingredients and inventive combinations truly shines through in their seasonal offerings.

For ice cream date with my partner we decided to check out Molly Moon’s, and it was the young person at 1:30pm on 9/22 that delivered my ice cream with the highest quality customer service I’ve ever received. They took our order with a smile and it was done within the minute. The line went by in a flash and the brownie sundae was delicious, the honey lavender actually tastes like lavender, and the brownie was very warm. I can only wish our server the best in the world and we Will be back to try more flavors

I absolutely LOVE their ice cream here!! They have a good mix of the classics and seasonal flavors. There’s also a good variety of toppings, cones, and different types of sundaes. Flavors are delicious and I love how creamy it is! They have something for everyone…there have vegan and gluten-free items and they are also allergy-aware. And for the lactose intolerant, they have lactaid available for those unexpected craving for ice cream! If you see a line outside, don’t worry, it goes by fast! However, it can be a little intimidating if you’ve never seen the menu and/or you aren’t familiar with their flavors

Molly Moon’s Blueberry Pie and Honey Lavender flavors are next-level—sweet, creamy, and full of rich, unexpected depth. The combo of tangy berry swirl with floral honey-lavender makes for an unforgettable, five-star treat.

I tried cookie dough ice cream in a waffle. Ice cream was cinnamon flavored, not too sweet. Waffle was nice and crispy. I took hot fudge, whipped cream and cherry as toppings. Overall the quality, flavors and quantity is 10/10.

Ordered 2 scoops of "Cookie Dough" flavor, there were 2 (two) total pieces of cookie dough chunks in there. Also, this was $11.50 for 2 scoops of ice cream in a waffle bowl, not the whole cone. Molly is lucky my boyfriend is spineless and didn't let me complain about his money being wasted on crap ice cream

Flavorful, smooth flavors of regular and seasonal ice cream. Very little seating but you can walk around u-village to find a table or bench.

I was so excited to try out this place for my weekend dinner. They have a variety of items ranging from cakes, pastries and coffee along with full lunch/dinner menu celebrating Salvadorean culture. They also have a small selection of grocery items too. We ordered pupusas - pollo, pork and vegetarian ones with spinach and zucchini. They ran out of purple corn flour for our vegetarian ones and had to be done with yellow corn. I was a little surprised we were not offered any refunds even though it was just 1.50$. The staff were polite but visibly overwhelmed. The take out order took around 20mins. The pupusas were okay but the amount of filling wasn’t much, although the filling was tasty. The cabbage salad had a weird bitter taste which I ended up throwing all of it. The red sauce was delicious and mildly spiced. I also got alfajores which was really bad and tasted just of oil/butter. I was left extremely disappointed with my visit.

This place is the absolute best! I came here for the first time almost 15years ago and it’s even better now. I think it’s probably one of the best bakeries in Seattle. Total hidden gem in our beautiful city. Come here and get a treat or a meal you won’t be disappointed ❤️

This place has tons of bakery items, cakes, breakfast, and lunch options. We tried the plato guanaco (Salvadorean platter) and the carne guisada. Both were delicious. The plato guanaco was a great option to try many different things because it came with a pupusa and a tamale. The carne guisada was like a pot roast with very tender meat. I’d definitely come back. The only thing I didn’t really like was the pickled cabbage that came on the side of both dishes. The service was pretty good, but definitely not fast food. The restaurant was clean but the interior was old and kind of ugly. Wouldn’t stop me from eating there though!

Worth the trip if you do not live on this side of town. I have yet to be disappointed and have sampled their food and bakery items many times. The staff is friendly and kind, and the food is always delicious and fresh. I also really appreciate they have free, fresh, and cold water right inside the front door for anyone who needs it.

My family is Salvadoran and it's hard to find truly Salvadoran shops, restaurants and bakeries and I'm happy to share that you can find all here. AND the food was authentic, with rich flavors, fresh and DELICIOUS! My mom will approve! They have a freezer full of hard to find Salvadoran treats, a refrigerator full of creams, cheeses and drinks, snacks and authentic seasonings. The baked goods were tasty, and not overly sweet, offering traditional pastries, cookies, cakes and desserts. Their pan Frances was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They had tres leches, too, which I'm not a fan of because it tends to be too sweet, messy, and soaked to fall apart but I tried my son's and surprisingly it was none of that. We ordered pupusas (de queso and queso and beans) and they were palm size with a good filling size. Their curtido and sauce was ok. I ordered the platanos fritos plate (frijoles, crema, pan francés, chorizo Salvadoran) and it was a full-size platano cut in half, the beans were creamy and and flavorful. The order was enough for me to take home. We ate and brought home a lot for later. The staff was super helpful and friendly willing to take special requests. We will definitely be returning!

Bakery / restaraunt that i can think of. Gets crowded in the front bakery, but the dining area didn't feel any more available. I waited in line slightly confused for about 10 minutes. Of course after a minute or 2 I asked a server how the ordering system worked. While I waited to order I had time to snap photos and stare in amaze at all their beautifully displayed pastries. Fast forward. The food was amazing. So was the patry I ordered. The napoleon. Lowkey too much cream, but luckily it was very light. I'd most def try their other dessert offerings. As far as I could tell my food was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. Can't wait to come back. The interior was very bright and clean. The servers were all very busy and nice. The type of place you could eat at often. Great for a simple date or even to bring a family or large party. I would not come here for a fancy date. Based on what I could tell they offer breakfast and lunch all day. Their selection was more than acceptable. Best of all, parking was simple.

I ordered Revolelta. It is bean, meat, and cheese. It is on the salty side. Salty is the main favor. My favorite pupusa is still in Portland, OR. The closest was pupusa in Burien. I ordered one of their bakery, Guayaba, it was ok. The filling tasted very artificial. Pupusa was $5 and the bake good was $1.95. There is 3% charge for all credit card transactions. You ordered at counter and they will bring food to your table if you are dinning in. The service was good.

A small dessert and coffee shop with very delicious cakes, cheese cakes and coffee offerings. The cheesecakes are fairly sweet - more designed for the American taste, but still very delicious. They have quite a large parking lot, so don’t hesitate to drive here and spend some time enjoying a tasty treat with a good cup of coffee.

They have different types of original cheese cakes such as green tea cheese cake, Sakura or houji-cha cheese cake, as well as Coconut Dacquoise roll. Soft, equisite, and delicious pastries melt in your mouth with each bite. The price is high, and the interior isn't anything special. It's worth to taste their pastries at least once if you never tried them before, but I wouldn't come back.

Got the Mongo Honey Cheesecake and the Soufflé Cheesecake to go. It’s a cute fuzzy cafe with a very warm atmosphere. The cheesecakes were terrific, the right amount of sweet for those who like to avoid extra sugar. Will like to visit again to try more.

Okay - I love this place!! I went by at 4 pm on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet and no one else was there - and their offerings were limited - just a few of different options available. I tried their Soufflé cheesecake - it was amazing!! 😋🤩 This is my first time trying it and I’m a convert! It was delicious!! I am not a fan of the traditional cheesecakes as they’re too sweet for my taste. However these were perfect!! Just the right balance of sweet and smooth without being cloying or heavy!! Anyway, my point being - try their soufflé cheesecake - it is really yummy! I also tried the iced Hojicha Latte with Oat milk - again, I was blown away - I really loved the beverage! It was cool and soothing on a hot day and paired really well with the cheesecake!

A great little place in Wallingford they have great desserts with Japanese flair, they have rotating menu but what they have is amazing

Ordered a piece of N. Y. Houji cha cheesecake and enjoyed solid rich and creamy flavor. Small dessert shop with indoor and outdoor seats (parking available also!).

Be sure to place an order because the cakes sell out fast. This Japanese style cakes are delicate, fluffy and not too sweet. Will be back again to try other flavors. Also, they have reserved parking for Hiroki.

Mind blowing baked goods (danish was to die for), good sandwiches (we had a Fried Egg sandwich with extra sausage and mushrooms, and it was good but not great - lacked flavor and sauce, buns were awesome though). Coffee (latte on almond milk) was good (they use Proud Mary beans) - 8/10, matcha was good too 7/10. Lots of seating available. Line is a bit long but moves fast.

We’ve been wanting to come for a while, so impressed with the quality, vibe, and service considering the place. It’s in an old, I assume, boat house. Two outdoor areas to eat, one with water view. Looks like behind they have an event space too. I had their signature brown sugar toast and a pastry. Both delicious. Highly recommend but get there early, it does sell out and the lines can be long. Pet and kid friendly .

So yummy! I had their avocado toast with a fried egg added, a cardamom bun and black coffee. The bread for the avocado toast was very thick and a very nice grainy, nutty flavor to it. The lemon and za’atar seasoning on the avocado added the perfect flavor to it. The cardamom bun was so yummy, this is great if you want something a little sweet but not too sweet. The coffee was perfect- I typically only add cream and sugar to coffee if the flavor is mediocre, but this coffee was already so good that I didn’t need to add anything to it. I definitely want to come back and try more things on their menu.

A nice spot to relax after walking from UW. I ordered the cheeseburger with a fried egg. The meat was juicy and every bite was satisfying. The staff were friendly and the service was great. Semi-outdoor seating adds to the chill vibe.

This place practically has a cult following. The only time there isn’t a line out the door is when they are closed! The menu is globally inspired- definitely with an Asian lean. I had the breakfast sandwich on melon pan with bacon. The extras kind of add up, but… it was delicious. I’m glad to see they have expanded their gluten free offerings. When I went there years ago, there wasn’t much my gf mother could have.

So good!!! Amazing bakery and great location with outdoor seating. Expect long lines on the weekends but so worth it, their coffee is Proud Mary, an amazing roaster from Portland. Recommend the avocado toast and melonpans

Came in on a Saturday and although there were a few groups ahead of me, it only took a few minutes to get my order in. Even though it was busy, Kimberly was really helpful/friendly when I asked for recommendations. I ordered several things and all were 10/10. My favorite was the Danish Dream Cake. Took it back to my office and ate it embarrassingly fast 😮‍💨

LOVE LOVE LOVE this bakery!!! Croissants are flaky, donuts and malasadas are fluffy; they have both sweet and savory options. Such a good mix and fusion of Japanese and French pastries. I discovered my love for canales at this bakery…it’s almost like a hand-held crème brûlée; with a slight crunch to the outside with gooey eggy deliciousness inside! Yummmmmm!! And love their ube malasadas here❤️

Parking was tough — only street parking, and their lot was full with employees. I wouldn’t come here alone since parking was too stressful. Pastries and cakes were good! But if you don’t like heavy cream, the cake might not be for you. I expected a lighter Japanese-style cream, but it felt more American. Canelé was amazing — super crunchy outside and soft inside. No indoor seating, but I went to the nearby Whole Foods and it was perfect to enjoy with coffee.

Lots of tasty goodness for sale. I was lucky to take the last spot in the parking lot but there are a few street parking options right outside. The downside for me was that they didn’t have any room inside to sit and I just wish the table they did have was just available for sitting. There are a few yellow tables outside though. All the pastries look delicious and I’d love to try them all

Creamy, fluffy, chewy, yummy, incredible! Crunchy cream malasada, egg salad sando, ham & cheese croissant, jumbo cream puff, and hojicha latte were the standout stars. Ham & cheese sando comes cold but I toasted it at home and that was great, I love the mustard. If you love pastry cream, this is your home. Will be back to try special occasion cakes and curry beef bun which was sold out!

This bakery has just BLOWN ME AWAY!! Everything was incredible. We shared the beef doughnut with crispy coating, a ham & cheese croissant slice, a cream cheese danish pastry, and a passion fruit malasada (doughnut). The location is a little tricky to get to with the pedestrian bridges out of action due to construction work near the Elliot Bay Trail, but this place is worth the trip.

Nice to-go spot for baked goods — plenty of sweet and savoury options! Our favourites were the beef curry bun and pear danish (5/5). The ham and cheese croissant was good, but a little over baked, very little filling, and would’ve been better warm but the staff didn’t offer to heat it up (3/5). The malasadas are also good, but you have to be prepared for a lot of sugar and mess (5/5). Usually a line up, but it moves pretty quickly. Limited seating in the cafe and in the middle of an industrial area.

LOVED it. There was a small line when I went. Price was really good for Seattle IMO. I tried the strawberry malasada, but I thought it was just okay. But the star for me was the beef curry. I could eat three of them in one sitting, they are SO GOOD. Interested in trying new things next time.

Perfect location for brunch on a Sunday! My colleague and I stopped here as we had heard good reviews about this Filipino cafe! It did not disappoint! I tried their Ube Ice Latte, and it was the perfect blend of sweetness and expresso! I would highly recommend this drink! For brunch, I ordered the Pork Menudo (which is a tomato based pork dish with a side of rice). It was my first time trying it, and it was decent. The tomato taste was strong, which was not something I was used to. My colleague ordered the Longsilog, which was different from the normal sausage Longsilog he was used to. Service was amazing, and they were quick. The waitress accidentally spilled a bit of my latte but cleaned it up right away. I'd recommend anyone trying out this cafe if they want to try a Filipino cafe!

This place is awesome. I rolled in a little after opening on a Thursday and it was pretty quiet. I ordered at the kiosk, grabbed a number, and sat at a table with a convenient outlet for my laptop charger. I easily connected to their free Wi-Fi (which is apparently not available on weekends — be warned). I started with a chicken arroz caldo with crispy chicken skin and a poached egg plus a pandan Italian soda. The arroz caldo is fantastic! Warm, hearty, and texturally interesting, it's comfort in a bowl. The add-ons are non-negotiable, in my opinion. The pandan Italian soda is also tasty and unique, though a coffee lover would probably just prefer a pandan latte. I enjoyed my food and sipped on my drink for a couple hours while I got some work done. The cafe picked up a little as the morning went on but it stayed relatively quiet and pleasant. Around lunchtime, I ordered a longsilog (basically a breakfast plate with Filipino pork sausage patties). I also added a mung bean patty to give it a try. When it arrived, I topped it off with some chili crisp and went to town. Wow! Explosion of flavor. The pork sausage is unbelievably juicy and tender. It's perfect with some runny egg yolk and a bit of rice. The greens and pickled veggies add a nice crunch and kick of acidity. The mung bean patty is a little less exciting — a bit dry and without a ton of flavor. But if you're not a meat eater, it's a decent alternative! I finished my meal and then ordered an assortment of pastries to go. They have a huge variety of unique flavor combinations! Several of them are classic Filipino sweets that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere in Seattle, so it was really cool to try them. The cheesecake is one of their specialities, so I got several varieties to try. Pro tip: you should really enjoy these cold. Once they warm up to room temperature, their flavors dull significantly. My favorites are the Vietnamese coffee and white chocolate guava, but the ube is also rich and unique. A few other standouts for me are the turon cream puff, the black sesame roll, the mango peach empanada, the bibingka corn muffin, and the beef mechado pocket. If you're a fan of less sweet desserts, you'll probably really enjoy the ube pianono cake slice, the cassava cake, and the biko. Overall, I can't recommend this place highly enough. The hot dine-in foods, hot or iced drinks, savory pastries, and sweet desserts are all flawlessly prepared in their own ways.

Super cute Filipino coffee shop with unique drinks (iced matcha with lilikoi), ube latte. Their mini cheesecakes were delicious with fun flavors like POG and white chocolate guava. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the lilikoi matcha…the flavors just weren’t my favorite. But everything else was good. They have a cute store with various Filipino goodies like chocolate, children’s books and soap.

I love this cafe! It’s very cute inside and the food, dessert and drinks were very good! The ube drink has enough sweetness and ube flavour as most I’ve had from other cafes lack ube flavour. We came back three times during our trip! I also appreciate that they had the syrups for sale which are great for those who live far away. By some chance I visit Seattle again, I would definitely come back.

While visiting Chinatown, we came across this wonderful Cafe that served Filipino cuisine. There was a line, but it moved along pretty quickly. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their food. We ordered several items so that we could sample each other's dishes as well as a few of their signature drinks. They do have a dine in area, but also noticed that you can get your food to go. Highly recommended, go check them out! Salamat!

Quick stop before taking Amtrak out of town. I was impressed by the tranquil, unhurried, yet friendly, efficient service. This place has a wide variety of items with a separate food area from drinks. There is also a cultural selection of gift items, photos of the history. Seating inside was comfortable and arranged for small groups. There was far too much on the menu to sample in one trip. Please consider this for a peaceful cultural break. Delicious!

I loved the vibe of this cafe. Lakan, the sous chef is so welcoming and kind. The waitress was too, very smiling. I've tried my first Biko there and I loved it. They make ube and Pandan latte too. My two favorite flavours 😋

This was my mom's and I’s last cafe hop in Seattle before leaving, and it was worth it! We arrived right when it opened due to our flight. I unfortunately did not get anything; however, my mom ordered a hot decaf Americano and it was love at first sight. She said it was VERY good, and she was sad we didn’t come sooner because its very close to the place we stayed at. It was so good that we decided to buy four coffee bags! (we turned around the second we left😅👀). I recommend it–its very close to the transit station. Overall, the experience was cosy and vibey–please try it out if you are in the area‼️

Whenever we’re in Seattle, Fresh Flours is always our go-to café—and for all the right reasons. The moment you step in, you’re greeted with the aroma of freshly baked pastries paired with expertly crafted espresso and non-espresso drinks. Everything tastes intentional and well thought out, which is why it has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the city. My personal favorite is the café latte with lavender—smooth, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It pairs beautifully with just about any of their pastries, whether it’s a classic pain au chocolat, a buttery biscuit, or something seasonal from their rotating menu. The pastry selection alone is worth the visit! The staff here are always professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks they serve—it’s clear they take pride in what they do. Seating options are also convenient: you can choose to relax inside or, on a beautiful day, enjoy the fresh air at their outdoor tables. The café is PWD- and toddler-friendly, making it a great option for families. Parking is free along the street, though it can be a bit tricky to find a spot right in front; sometimes you may need to park 2–3 blocks away. But honestly, the short walk is well worth it once you sit down with your coffee and pastry in hand. Overall, Fresh Flours offers something refreshingly different from your usual Starbucks run. To my fellow Google Local Guides—if you’re looking for a café with great character, excellent service, and outstanding flavors, this is a must-visit in Seattle.

Been here twice now and the coffee and pastries are great. The staff however aren’t very welcoming. The first time I went, the lady couldn’t even look me in the eye for some reason. The second time, the staff member was chatting away with her coworker as I was trying to order.

Nice outdoor seating. Good service. Great variety of freshly baked pastries. The Bacon Quiche is delicious! They offer Stumptown coffee. The croissants are very soft and semi-flaky. Must try the peach danish, perfectly balanced and not too sweet.

If I lived in Seattle I'd have a serious addition to this place. The pastry is SO fluffy, fresh... It's just perfect. Try the ham and cheese croissant, it is the perfect breakfast to go with a coffee or latte

Onion and swiss croissant is like a portable french onion soup! They also warm it up for you, so so goood! They brew Onda so the coffees are also excellent!

They have nice options for pastries and snacks. Loved their Nutella croissant! The atmosphere is really nice especially for perfect summer days. There are outdoor and indoor seatings. The coffee is nice too. It's one of our go to cafe's in the beacon hill neighborhood.

My gf ordered a vegan cake and I picked it up. The shop was closed but they were satisfying to go orders. You could tell the owner put her heart and soil into the place. She was so sweet and gave me instructions on how to best preserve the cake before a birthday dinner. The cake was as delicious as it was visually stunning. I plan on going back to stuff my face sometime soon!

Curious about “Berber walnut caramel” and it turned out so good! The caramel sauce inside the cookie was somehow savory with a slight hint of cumin, and pleasantly sweet-salty, which could be so addictive. I think it’s worth to stop by picking up this unique cookie.

Shikorina is a true treasure! The cookies are unbelievably delicious — perfectly baked, rich, and full of flavor. You can tell so much love goes into every batch. And the owner is an absolute sweetheart! Her kindness, passion, and welcoming energy make every visit special. It’s rare to find a place where the treats are this good and the heart behind the business shines so brightly. Highly recommend stopping by — your taste buds will thank you!

We got the berry toaster pastry, the apple version as well, chocolate chunk, blueberry 🫐 muffin, vegan banana bread and the Indian spiced stuffed cookie. Everything is delicious 😋 our blue-hair server was friendly and recommended their favorites! Plus as a fellow baker I appreciate the quality!

What an incredible little bakery! I ordered 12 birthday cupcakes and pop-tarts. Both were so tasty. The blueberry tarts with strawberry frosting were delicious! But I really wish I would have taken a photo of the cupcakes because they were beautiful with pastel birthday sprinkles. I will definitely be back 🙌🏻

Amazing. I got 2 cookies, a brownie, and a vegan pop tart to share with family. The flavors were incredible and unlike any pastries I've had. The texture of everything was spot on. I was really impressed by the pop tart. It perfectly nailed the flavor of a classic brown sugar cinnamon pop tart while also improving on it because the pastry is so light and flaky, it was amazing. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in Cap Hill.

Bought a $75 cake with butter cream frosting that was strangely tasting like straight butter, not sweet as you’d expect. Did they miss adding sugar? Chocolate cake was very good, salted caramel also was very good, but overall together it just did not work. This was a miss.

Love this place, very community friendly, always have new seasonal variety and decorations. Highly recommend to visit during the weekend when they have chocolate making demonstrations!

Local chocolate is really low key. That is to say that Seattle has a number of really great chocolatiers but they don't get the hype and name recognition like Ghiradelli or Hershey's (not that Hershey's is in any way comparable). Theo's is not destination exparience it used to be ever since the production got outsourced. I know they tried and I love that they did and sad that it didnt work out. We locals are the ones who lose the most. However the store is still worth a visit and we try to stop in when nearby. I recommend you do too.

Loved the chocolate tour! Tour guide Peter was super knowledgeable and hygenic. Used hand sani before serving/touching cacao beans, handing out chocolate with tongs and gloves. Highly recommend! You also get 20% off chocolate on day of tour. You get to try samples of generous size.

I took my three kids on the chocolate tour (elementary, middle school, and high school aged), and they loved it! You start with a short presentation on harvesting and basic preparation of the cocoa beans, from field to shipping, and then move into another glassed in room when you can watch the production and we were walked through beans to bars. The presentation included lots of samples (dark chocolate, light chocolate, truffles, and toffee), plus 20% off in the retail shop. We all enjoyed it! Street parking is available, and we were able to find a spot pretty close by.

This place Theo chocolate factory in Seattle has nice little tours. They show how and where they source their cocoa, how it is processed after it reaches the factory, and what flavors are used for the different chocolates they sell. They hand out samples to taste in decreasing order of percentage of cocoa. Nice experience overall.

Theo Chocolate Factory tour is informative with few chocolate bites to taste. However, the only complaint I have is that its not a tour. You just stand in a room with glass walls and you just see the machinery around you. There is a presentation in the TV that the guide will run through while you stand in the riom. Thats it.

We had an excellent tour of the factory, which is sadly closing at the end of Aug 2023. But their store and the kitchen aren't going anywhere. Theo makes some great chocolate, and I'm glad we got to tour the factory while we still could.

This is a very pretty boutique macaron shop. I enjoyed the macaron ice cream sandwich...a changé of pace from the usual. I tried the Vietnamese Coffee option and it was good, as was the espresso they offer as well. Parking can be tough.

I remember walking by the storefront during their soft opening. The owner and staff were nice and humbly asking for feedback. We were given a few free samples of a new flavor they were going to release. We gave our criticism and next time around I felt they took our input into consideration. Me and my partner would pop in once in a blue moon when we were living in downtown Renton. Even less frequent now since we've moved away. When we are in the area, we make it a point to pop in and see what new flavors and offerings they have. Fast forward to today. I'm glad to know they are still here. They have great macarons with distinct flavors. If I were to eat one with my eyes closed. I could confidently say I know what the flavor is. They serve ice cream and a slew of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffees. Today I purchased their Vietnamese coffee. It's strong caffeine wise. has a balanced sweetness to it with a creamy consistency. It's what I would expect in a Vietnamese coffee. Also, This place is aesthetically cozy and the staff are patient and nice. One perk that I want to highlight is their self serve sample teas located on the counter. It sits on a warmer so it's always a good hot temperature. I recommend coming to check out their offerings.

A lovely spot for a sweet treat! The French cookies are absolutely delightful—perfectly sweet, clean in flavor, and comforting with every bite. The atmosphere is light and airy, with breezy seating that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a warm, personal touch to the whole experience. A hidden gem worth visiting again.

What a “sweet” little shop in the heart of Renton. They have a wonderful menu of teas and their macaron selection is to die for! We had lunch and Vietnamese coffee too. If I lived locally I’d bring my laptop and spend my afternoons doing work here and having a sweet treat.

Macadons is hands down the best macaron spot in the Puget Sound. Their macarons are incredibly fresh, with bold, vibrant flavors that put other bakeries to shame—every bite is rich, chewy perfection. The spacious interior makes it a great place to relax or catch up with friends, and the playful dragon sculpture on the roof adds a unique, welcoming charm. A must-visit for any dessert lover!

This macron shop is super cute and the flavors are really extensive. They care for this place a lot because the interior is beautiful and has good vibes. If you’re in the downtown renton area I totally recommend!

Macadons is such a nice local spot to visit if you want a nice snack. It's so quaint and cozy. The staff are always super sweet and the cafe offers a wide variety of macaroon flavors.

This is a rather small location, but the fact that there even is a Panadería in Washington at all makes it for a magical spot. While one of my breads was a little over baked, overall, I'd rather that than finding more donut shops. Pan dulce is amazing.

Been going here for years. Best panadería around hands down, never disappoints. Used to be cash only, so glad they accept cards. Friendly family-ran business. I highly recommend

GO FOR THE SMELLS AND LARGE PASTRIES. This is the best smelling bakery I've been in. And, unlike other bakeries they bakery throughout the day. I walked in af 2PM and they rolled out fresh baked goods warm outa the oven. Pastries are LARGE.

I've been to several panaderias in the area and this was definitely the worst. They had a wide selection of pan dulce and we specifically went for a certain pan dulce. I asked the lady at the cash register what they called that specific bread and she didn't even know. I understand if it were a store that sold other items, but they just sell baked goods, couldn't even walk a few steps to the back of the store to ask the baker the name, even though we were the only customers there. We ate the bread and it had no flavor and was hard, like if it were from days ago. Customer service and bread were not great!

I'm not in South Park very often, but when I was in the area on a Friday night, I decided to pay a visit to Pasteleria y Panaderia La Ideal. Notice that I mentioned that it was night when I visited. This is one of the few bakeries that I have visited that is open until 10pm. They were still putting out fresh pastries at 8pm when I visited. They have a pretty large selection of pastries to choose from. They have cakes, tres leches, cookies, breads, buns, flan, etc. I ended up getting a churro, the molasa(?) which is basically Irish soda bread, a slice of cake with pink frosting and sprinkles, and a savory bread with no filling. The molasa was hot and fresh out of the oven so it was lightly sweet and soft. The slice of cake was delicious as well. The churro was my favorite because it was crisp and also had dulce de leche in it. Actually the bakery was so great that I went out of my way to return the next day. They had more to choose from and I got two more churros, another molasa, a flaky pastry filled with pineapple filling, and a chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling. I'm really glad I visited and will keep it in mind when I want dessert.

Girl hung up on me twice because i dont speak spanish and im on a birthday cake time crunch. Edit: i tried calling back with someone who did speak spanish and THEY BLOCKED MY NUMBER??????? okay so no shade, when i go down there and throw 6 molotovs thru yall bakery, id be the bad guy right?

Update: we love this place so much we used their conchas as our wedding cake 😊😊 This place is everything that is good and pure about Seattle. Combine a stop-in to the panaderia with a visit to the fruteria next door for a delightful afternoon. <3

Lots of options! I enjoyed the pain au chocolat for its chocolate and flakiness, but it wasn’t buttery. More oily. Same for the brioche bread, I had to add a lot of butter to my toast to get the brioche taste. The hot chocolate was good. Don’t expect French pastries. However, overall, I did enjoy it.

Amazing Ballard bakery! Favorites were the plain butter croissant, sour cream coffee cake, and cheddar scone.

Rossellini's, please read! At some point you stop putting as much caramel in the coffee when requesting caramel fully changing the taste of your delicious coffee! Also, the ice ratio has gotten out of control. Because you guys use the giant ice cubes, I recently got an iced coffee and it was so filled to the brim with ice that I couldn’t even stir the caramel in my coffee. When I got home and strained out the ice I was left with 1/3 cup of coffee with milk. Please go back to your regular standards that were there Months ago. I miss my coffee. Overall point less ice more caramel please!!! Keep your pastries the same they’re delicious

High quality pastries and high quality service. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings and the food knocks it out of the park every time. This is the only place I have brunch on Saturday. Particular standouts are the ham and cheese croissant, strawberry hibiscus soda, passion fruit gelee cheesecake and hazelnut crunch bar (I don’t even like hazelnuts and this is the best dessert I’ve ever had?) You should go here and experience the deliciousness.

TLDR; decent enough pastries, not the best IMO though, lines are long We came in on the weekend 20 mins after they opened and the line was already out through the door and moving very slowly. The barista eventually started taking drink orders from the line. It took us 20ish minutes before we were able to get in through the door - we got two mochas, the chocolate almond croissant, a blueberry scone and a spinach and feta pastry. The croissant and pastry were super crispy but felt a bit too oil for my palette unfortunately. The scone was just ok. So was the coffee. I don’t know if I’ll stand in line for their pastries but I might come back to try their desserts.

Soooo good 👍🏻 and our server Noel was so Nice we definitely will go over there again

Keira literally saved the day for me. I accidentally Use the wrong directional in my GPS, So instead of heading to the bakery, I ended up over in Maple leaf someplace. It was near closing time and I raced all the way over there. They were closed for five minutes at least. She was still at the counter and I asked her is there some way I can get a birthday cake. She was so helpful found the perfect cake. It's so rare to run into a business. That's willing to go the extra mile even after closing time.
