50 Stores with the best cookies in Seattle

Cookies were good. As a bakery owner, I am picky about cookies. Most cookies in bakeries are underwhelming and use the same base for them. These cookies. Have a crispy outer with a nice soft and chewy inside. My favorite was the birthday cookie as it had a very good cookie base flavor. Staff is friendly which is a plus and willing to answer questions about the different varieties. Good job staff!

Stopped here during my lunch to grab a dozen of their cookies. The flavors I purchased were classic chocolate chip, brown butter snickerdoodle, molasses, and the oatmeal chocolate chip. All were very delicious, with nice crisp edges and a chewy moist center. I've DEFINITELY discovered a new place to enjoy my love of cookies!!

Love this shop! The last time I visited was seven years ago, and everything is still so good. I'm a little sad they only offer salted caramel in a pint, but the cookies and other flavors are also delicious!

Cute spot, smells delicious as soon as you walk in. We had snickerdoodle and a smores open faced ice cream sandwich. Which were delicious, however the ice cream portion seemed small to us. Super friendly staff

Today we had a salted butterscotch and a s'mores cookie. They were both amazing! I have a feeling the butterscotch is overlooked tho and I cannot tell you enough how delicious it was. Definitely come in here and give these cookies a try. Also thank you to the lovely staff member who helped us out! 🌞 Hope we are back in very soon.

I got the blackberry flavor. Because, Blackberry reminds of Seattle. The texture was soft and pleasant but it was overly sweet, and I didn’t really get much blackberry flavor coming through. Overall, it was okay, but I was hoping for a bit more balance.

I haven’t been able to visit an actual Hello Robin location yet, but I recently found her ready to bake peppermint chocolate chip cookies at PCC and oh my goodness, they are delicious. I bake them for about 10 minutes and every cookie turns out chewy and gooey with crispy edges and a soft centre. My family came to visit recently for the holidays and everyone loved them! We ate an entire dozen in about 15 minutes. I bake them straight from the freezer and they are better than most cookie I’ve purchased fresh.. So, if you see these in the store, snag them before they are gone.

Pros - Hot bar / deli / sushi bar are very tasty - Bakery is well stocked - Large selection of baking/home goods Cons - Staff is not shy about racial profiling at all. If you are ANY shade of non-white you will be followed by security, watched at the self-checkout and constantly asked “if you need help” while white guests shop in peace without being disturbed. Worst offender is the old brunette woman that oversees the self checkout - Prices are high when compared to other local stores (Safeway / QFC)

I am an early riser and I found this place for breakfast bar. I am a person who cater and cook for many events, so I have a highly developed taste for food. The breakfast bar was 1 star because some of the food went bad and had a sour taste to it. I reach out the person who is serving and he was fast to act and removed the items. I appreciated this. That is why they are getting 3 stars. The rest of the store was well lit up and had good a mount of varities of food. The pastry also was a bit dry and it seems not fresh. I didn't try their meats but the fruit and vegetables section was well stocked. Over all not a bad place. Just be careful what you are eating.

I have been shopping here for 3+ years. Their vegetables are always fresh and great quality. I also love their fresh flowers and flower pots. Their baked goods are delicious especially mango macrons is a must try. Good variety for various groceries and house goods. Self checkout option is available. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food options for immediate consumption: Salad Bar, Olive Bar, Poke Bar, Soup Bar, Hot Food Bar. Wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables.. meats, seafood! Great bakery items and you can even order a good cafe latte while you shop. Their Queen Anne Roast coffee is delicious. Great sushi options and their cheese counter can’t be beat. I will say it’s bit pricey but if you don’t overdo the quantities and just buy the amount you know you can consume, you will appreciate the QUALITY. They also run specials in all departments that’s fun to lookout for.

I absolutely love this place. It has an amazing assortment of high end, healthy food. I believe it is like whole foods where they do not allow foods that have been banned in other countries (but not ours because our government doesn't care about the population) homemade pies, pastries. There hot deli is excellent. The prime rib sandwich a must. They have an olive bar and deli pastas you can mix with different fresh made entrees. I didn't get a chance to check out the bakery but I'm sure it's equally as fantastic as well as the butcher and seafood area. They have a fine cosmetic and wellness section, fresh flowers. It basically seems to be a more friendly more inclusive and less expensive version of whole foods. Count me in

Received 2-MONTH EXPIRED CHICKEN (expired May 15, delivered July 11) + completely rotten vegetables through Amazon delivery. Order #114-7064647-1389021. Your shopper physically handled packages with MAY expiration dates and sent them anyway. This is a serious food safety violation. Filing FDA complaint. How does 2-month expired chicken leave your store??

The quality of the food in the deli as well as the hot food and salads and the olive bar are amazing. This is definitely worth the grocery store to check out. Yes you're going to spend a little bit extra money but it's totally worth it. I enjoy the customer service, and I really am appreciative of the selection of food that they have in all areas. The variety of cheese is amazing.

Staff was super friendly! I picked up half a dozen cookies for my wife’s bday, who is an absolute cookie connoisseur and I picked up a few slices of the chocolate chip cookie cake. The cookie cake has potential, but it’s WAY too sweet. So much to the point where it tastes as though you’re eating sugar cubes. I say it has potential because I think it does too much. I think simpler would be better. You can’t really eat more than maybe 1/8 of the slice at once. I don’t think the goal is to finish the slice in one sitting, but you also don’t want to feel sick if you’re a fast eater. I don’t think I’d get the cookie cake slice again. If we did, I’d scrape 3/4 of the frosting off As for the cookies, I thought these were pretty good! We didn’t try any stuffed cookies because I wasn’t a fan of the seasonal flavor options for the stuffed cookies, so we went with the original. If you hear the cookies up for about 15 seconds, they’ll melt in your mouth. All that to say, I think the cookies are way overpriced. While yes, they are good, they certainly aren’t anything special enough to justify the price or go out of your way for. I don’t think I’d come back, unless I’m conveniently in the area.

My husband and I recently a lovely box of cookies in the mail and while the cookies that were shipped looked absolutely amazing the quality was a little disappointing due to the fact that shipping had made them a bit dry. I would recommend the bakery ship cookies is air tight/vacuum sealed packaging instead of a cellophane bag folded over once and closed with a small piece of scotch tape. Just an idea from a home baker.

A cookie shop that also sells ice cream. There is no indoor or outdoor seating. They also sell some sliced cake. The closest public seating would be the central district Square area . There are also random benches on 23rd. One stuffed cookie is the size of 2-3 cookies. You can make your own cookie ice cream sandwiches here. When I went there was no line. For pride month, they had a pride flavor ice cream. The sweetness level here is on par with American dessert (think baskin robbins/ starbucks)

I got to try their strawberry shortcake, July 2025 limited edition cookie and it was so delicious. I really love a thick cookie so will definitely be back. I also liked the birthday cake and lemon cookies as well.

So the cookies are good and the lemon crinkle is my favorite. My only problem is I asked if I could sample one and mind you I wasn't trying to get a free cookie but I was told no. If I'm about to spend $37 on a dozen cookies you would think they would have sample pieces you could try. That's a lot of money to spend when you can't try a sample.

The best cookies in Seattle hands down. They’re gooey, crunchy on the outside, quality ingredients - basically everything you want in a cookie. My favorite are the brown butter triple chocolate chip. And the staff are always nice!

If these aren't the best cookies I can't remember which ones are! Lowrider makes the best. The street front shop smells about as perfect as a bakery can which is about how well the cookies taste. The chocolate chips taste like the best desert you could have asked for. Park in the neighborhood and walk over but wear stretchy pants.

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!

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.

I thought Vegas had the best Gelato. Not correct. It is in Seattle- specifically at Gelatiamo. I had x3 flavors in my own cup (and tried the x3 out of my boyfriend's as well).

Really good gelato which does truly use a unique base for each flavor. This really makes the flavors rich and deep. My favorites are easily the pistachio, rice, and coconut, though their sorbets are all solid too. The waffle cone isn't necessary; the gelato shines on its own.

Best place in Seattle for cold treats! The flavors of the gelato are bold and tasty, and it’s really hard to decide which was my favorite, but their pistachio was the BEST I’ve ever had! They also have tiramisu and fruit cakes which are also lovely 💕 😋

This place is amazing! The staff is super friendly, and the gelato is top-notch. Try the affigato... it's the perfect treat! All this and a plentiful selection of pastries.

Delicious! My server, Luna, recommended a fruit tart to me, and it was amazing! She was very helpful and the pastry was so good! You can tell they’re all made in house, it was very fresh and not to sweet, I will definitely be coming back!

A nice place in Seattle downtown. Selection of desserts $4 each. Not too sweet and decent. Wish they had something warm for the cozy Seattle weather…

Is it gelato or is it a affogato? It’s whatever you decide! I enjoyed getting an Affogato with passionfruit and mango gelato. Definite place to stop by while in Seattle for your coffee and dessert fix.

I decided to try the cookies instead of focusing on what the name of the place suggests—Cinnamon Work. Maybe I'll give the cinnamon rolls a shot next time, though I’ve seen mixed reviews. You never know until you try it yourself. For my first experience, I ordered the chocolate chip cookie. It was a massive cookie, and the dough had a great flavor. Overall, I thought it was good—definitely not disappointing. However, when I went back for more cookies before leaving town,I didn't enjoy round 2. For example, the chocolate chip pecan cookie was a letdown. The dough had zero flavor—it was pretty tasteless. I wouldn’t recommend it, which is surprising considering how much I liked the plain chocolate chip cookie. I also tried the "monster" cookie, which was fine, but not better than the original chocolate chip cookie. It was decent, but I’d say it was still better than the pecan chocolate chip. On my second visit, I noticed something strange too: the chocolate chip cookie was a bit thicker than the one I had during my first visit (pictured in this review). This made me question the consistency of their cookies. Thankfully, the flavor was still there, and surprisingly, the cookie didn’t harden as quickly as I expected, even after traveling with it for a while. One more thing to note—the ordering process could be smoother. It's a walk-up counter, but people tend to cut in line without asking if you are waiting and the staff doesn’t always pay attention to who's next. Allowing others jumped ahead — while you’ve been waiting on the orders ahead of you. . It’s a small thing, but definitely worth mentioning.

This cookie is huge, enough for 2-3 people. It's nice and warm. I found it pretty good plus I like cookies. I feel like it could use just a tiny bit cleaning.

We were drawn in by the aroma of cinnamon rolls, and found out they had this Infaltion buster deal, which comes with a cup of black drip coffee, and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll tasted alright though.

Cinnamon Works is part of Pikes Place Market, which is a vibe. The gluten free cookies were enormous! Everything we tried - snickerdoodle, cinnamon raisin and chocolate chip cookies were delicious. The system of ordering and paying is a little inefficient though it's well worth the visit.

Stopped here to grab a Snickerdoodle cookie. The service was quick, the worker was friendly, and the amount of food for the price was incredible. If you’re in the market, stop by.

Quant Pike Place institution with huge portions! They pretty much just serve cinnamon rolls, cookies, and muffins, plus some hot drinks like coffee and tea. Nothing here will blow your socks off, but it's all plenty tasty and satisfying. The cookies are my favorite, especially the peanut butter, monster, and chocolate chip. The sticky bun is also pretty good. They have an option to get your cookie topped with icing, sprinkles, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and a host of other goodies, which is fun! And of course, lots of options which are vegan, gluten-free, or both!

Dude. If you go to Pike Place, go to Cinnamon Works first, so you get a gluten free monster cookie before they run out. And while you're there, get everything else they have that's gluten free. And a hot chocolate. Even if it takes a couple days to finish it, it's still so good. I want one so bad right now I'm about to drive downtown.

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.

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 😋

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.

We were gifted a gift card for this place because last year I was gifted cookies from here they were made for the 49ers and they were delicious. It was really hard to choose which four to get so we ended up getting eight well actually nine we were given one for free. I only captured the pictures of these here in the shop and then additional ones at home. Oh my gosh I can’t decide which one is my favorite place is immaculate. Cookies are delicious and well worth the wait if there is one.

I catered these cookies for my wedding. Guests loved them so much. Their vegan and gluten free cookies are truly amazing and made folks with dietary restrictions so so happy. Excellent cookies, excellent service, and affordable prices.

Cute little dessert space. I will definitely be back. Many cookies to choose from. I enjoyed the Ube & Cream cookie. I saw soft-serve as I was leaving and will try this and more cookies next time. The price is great and the services was amazing.

Amazing cookies! Love the maple bacon! It is a must try! Beware you might fall in love with it! 🥰🍪

By far the best cookies in Seattle some of the best I’ve ever had. Service is always friendly, the seating area is always very clean. The owner is very nice and kind, she did a collab with my wife’s small business once and was extremely gracious. Simply the best

This place was very cute! My mother was very excited to try these cookies as well as my partner. These cookies are very delicious and will definitely be visiting again to take proper photos of myself eating these cookies there! 5 out of 5!

Uh an absolutely fabulous and fantastic cookie! They are not a small cookie but it was sooooo good and had to eat a whole one! They all were delicious but my favorite was the Taylor! The frosting was perfect! I did warm up the Madison (chocolate chip) and had it with ice cream, so that was a close second! Service was very friendly and they follow strict COVID guidelines, so be prepared to wait outside, but it’s worth it!

Absolutely delicious Cubano sandwich. Highly highly recommend. Cool spot connected to a restaurant where they allow you to dine at the bar. Kind employee. But the sandwich was so so so good.

The young man who served us today was so welcoming and polite, great service. 10/10 for service, this business is lucky to have him. The sandwich and fries were delicious. Indoor and a little outdoor seating. Bathrooms were clean. Will be back for sure.

I’ve been coming here for a couple years now, as the old location used to be across from my workplace. Fortunately, their new location is just a 5 minute walk away! My favorite thing here is the brisket sandwich. I love how juicy it is with the sauce, peppers, and marinated brisket. It’s just so yummy! There used to be a cashier that was the absolute sweetest to me, who always included a salted chocolate chip cookie with my order. Even now, without that particular person, I can tell their customer service is excellent & attentive. If you need a quick lunch during your work break, they’re super quick with the sandwiches, too! There’s something special about a good sandwich — so simple, few ingredients / toppings, and yet, so filling & delicious. Will continue to come back, again & again. Appreciate y’all at Slab! 🥪

It’s a great place for sandwiches with seating inside the beautiful Lark restaurant. We went on a cold Saturday around 1230 and we’re easily able to grab a seat. The fried chicken sandwich is delicious as is the burrata salad. Kids and adults enjoyed it. It was fun to sit at the window and stay warm while enjoying good food.

These are some of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. They grill the inside of the bread so it's crispy and a little burnt, leaving the outside bread soft and somewhat chewy but not dense. Honestly best sandwiches ever. We tried them all even the burrata sandwich which can be very boring was delicious. Yummy balsamic vinegar, scrumptious mozzarella fresh basil. Just yummy! The Cubano is fantastic! The pork is roasted, soft, not try at all, with the pickles...yum! The service is great. Recommendations are perfect. The atmosphere is very simple nothing special but the fantastic food makes up for that.

Best sandwiches, 12hr brisket coupled with Sicilian blood orange lemonade are my favs!

WARNING: AFTER READING THIS REVIEW YOU WILL WANT SLAB TO CATER EVERY FUTURE EVENT! Updating to include about my AMAZING catering experience with Slab for my graduation party! As a big fan of their sandwiches, I was delighted to hear that they offered sandwich platters. I worked with Allison from start to finish and having nothing but kind words to share about Slab's customer service. I ordered sandwiches for 50 people and the portions are so great that we had several leftovers (aka hangover cure ). Each sandwich was cut in half and wrapped on the platter. They took such special care to label each sandwich type and even separated the vegetarian options which made it so easy for my friends. All of the guests were raving about the sandwiches throughout the party! They accommodated my party time even though it was outside regular business hours and every member of the staff congratulated me when I picked them up Thanks for making my day so special! All of the sandwiches are made of leftover meat from Lark. The bread is crispy and the meat is juicy- a hard balance to perfect. My partner got it for lunch yesterday & insisted we get it again today for me to try. We split the Cubano sandwich & the Brisket sandwich. Our order was ready within 15 minutes of the phone call! I also saw on their website they offer platters. This would be the perfect place to cater a party that pleases all! We will definitely be back.

1 cookie is $3, 6 pack is $17. Well worth it. I got the Coconut Chocolate Caramel cookie and they are absolutely cracked, gooey, and perfect. Service was quick and the cookies were warm upon ordering.

I ordered the birthday cake and PB cookies. They were pretty good. I do feel like the birthday cake had a slight aftertaste. I wanted to try the Ube marshmallow cookie, but I as too nervous after reading reviews of how other cookies were dry or with no taste.

Great cookies, and all of their suggestions were amazing. Paired the chocolate chip with some hot chocolate and I was on cloud nine. Didn't catch your name, but hope you had a great night!

Its a tiny little kiosk on the lower level of the mall, but worth searching for! Cookies were fresh and nothing short of amazing, we went for one and left with 8 because of the selections. Ice coffee and Italian sodas were both full of flavor. Definitely a good spot if you got a sweet tooth or dont want the regulator coffee chain

Great surprise when looking for a sweet bite in the area. Came in for a cookie and ended up with a couple (sweet & salty, and lemon poppyseed). I will be back while I am visiting the area. $2.75 each cookie but discounted price in bulk. Service was phenomenal as well. I recommend this place. Note: They are actually located inside the shopping mall, in the basement, next to the elevators.

I’m a cookie connoisseur. I stay in touch with all the local bakers and try new places as I get the chance. I’m going to start rating places on the people, cookie taste/ texture and variety. 1- People: service was perfect. I was greeted, given recommendations and honest opinions on preference. 5/5 2- Taste/ texture: I have to admit, I like cookies with a variety of textures. For instance, their peanut butter (4.6/5 and highly recommended) has a soft interior, crunch on the perimeter with that signature sandy/ sugary coating. It tasted amazing and was close to perfect ( a little stronger on the peanut flavor and it’s flawless). The cookies and cream had great flavor but the texture was one note and denser than I prefer. The lemon poppyseed had all the textures going but was light on the lemon. I just crushed one so I’m not saying it’s not worth trying. I’d actually rank it #2 under the peanut butter. The birthday cake was good too, just eat it the day you get it. I’d pass on the snickerdoodle, m&m and the toffee one. They simply lacked flavor and were off texturally. 2.5/5 3- Variety: I’m starting to sense a theme around Seattle. These shops seem to be copying Menüs of competitors and putting their spin on it. That to me is risky unless you feel you have a superior cookie. I won’t name names but the peanut butter is the only one that was different and the one I’d say go get 6 of them. Get a lemon too. Nothing out of the box or really unique. 2/5

Can never go wrong with the ginger cookie, simply my fav... of course, friendliness and passion for service, are world-class! Midnight 🍪 Staff thanks!

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.

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.

Neat dive bar with sweet pie treats. Not a place I'd go to very frequently, but quite cool for a special pie focussed occasion.

Visiting from Dallas. The service was great. Does were fresh and hot! It is a small location but they have a to go windows for your pies.

What happened to the pies? I’ve been coming to the pie bar for about 10 years whenever I visited Seattle and at one point they used to have some of the best pies in the US. The coconut cream pie was the best and the fruit pies were fantastic. This time the pies were TERRIBLE!!! The coconut cream was waxy and overly sweet. It used to have toasted, shaved coconut bits and this time it was cheap processed strings. The chocolate cream pie tastes worse than day old cafeteria pie. The crumble on the fruit pies was underbaked and gloopy. I am so sad as I write this review but if you are like me want to go back because of fond memories, save yourself the money and calories and find a new pie place.

We waited over 15 minutes for our order to be taken but the lady working at the to-go window wouldn't stop to take our order. She wasn't too busy to socialize with the girl group hogging the window though! She definitely noticed us waiting behind them but I guess talking with your friends is more important than working. We walked off and went to Voodoo donuts instead. Avoid this place unless you want your time wasted.

Novel idea for a bar! The owner is chill and has a neat story about how he came up with the idea from memories of making pies in his childhood with apples from a tree. The Desserted Island pie is a tasty treat packed with different fruit, and the local cider had a crisp taste. Fun place to try sometime for dessert or after the bars.

$11 for this small piece of slop with no crust on the bottom that's been sitting in fridge all day. Pie Bar used to be better than this.

I guess I had low expectations and the place did not even match those. Look at the pie. 🥧 It was not worth the visit or money. I opted for the steak pot pie. Steak it was not, just ground beef. It was dry and the vegetables looked straight out from the frozen vegetables section. The dessert (coconut cream pie) unfortunately was one note, without much of a coconut taste. I will try another location and see if there's a difference.

These pizza slices are great when you’re exploring Pike Place Market! Tasty, reasonably priced, and generous in size—the perfect snack or light lunch. The crust is crisp, the cheese is melty, and the toppings have good taste. Great spot for a quick bite while wandering the market. Quality, flavor, and portion size all deliver. We’ll definitely be back next visit! #SeattleEats #PikePlaceMarket #SeattleFoodie #SeattlePizza #MarketSnacks #PikePlaceEats #SeattleBites #FoodieSeattle #VisitSeattle #YVRFoodScene

A fantastic grocery store with an impressive offering of imported goods. We stopped in to get some cheese and meat so that we could have a little picnic snack on the waterfront before heading to the nearby aquarium. Tyler at the cheese counter was so helpful and let us try a few things before deciding on which cheese and meats to buy. We grabbed a packed of crackers and were even offered ice at checkout to keep our items cool on the hot day. The rest of the shop had lots of imported ingredients from chocolate, to salts, sauces, oils, and spices. As well as a cafe in the back or front of the shop, depending on how you enter. There was also a take and make at home fridge filled with pasta and pizzas that looked delicious. I would have loved to ship a whole bunch of goods home but I know I’ll be back again for my next Seattle adventure. Big shout out again to Tyler at the cheese counter, he just made our day!

Really good Italian sandwiches! We got the Milano and Parma. The Parma was our favorite of the two. We also got a hot chocolate and a chai. The chai was more spicy than the average, which was delicious! The hot chocolate was not too sweet, also very good.

We hit the deli counter and grabbed sliced Fra' Mani Soppressata, and portions of marinated Gigandes and Castelvetrano olives for a midday snack. Everything was fresh and delicious. They do offer charcuterie cones made-to-order, but we opted for our weighted choices. After snacking, we grabbed a cuppa at the cafe, which was perfect. Facility has loads of imported specialty items, including gluten free options. The staff were also lovely. We will return!

This is a fantastic food and wine store with an emphasis on Italian and French products. I was there for the cheese, and they had a great selection, foreign and domestic. They also have lots of pastas, chocolates, and other foods. This is really a treasure trove of a store. I probably would have gone bonkers here if I hadn’t had to worry about fitting stuff into a suitcase.

I stopped in to browse and ended up upstairs enjoying a delicious and well made Campari Spritz. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. After my drink I explored a little more and found lots of snacks and cheeses to take back home. I love the European vibe of this little market.

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!

The donuts here are incredibly fluffy, and the filling is subtly sweet—just right. At $5 each (plus tip), it’s a bit pricey for regular visits, but definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. I’d highly recommend the chocolate marshmallow and the maple varieties!

Love donuts but this wasn't it for me. The vanilla filling tasted like eggs. The chocolate was ok but not the best. Texture and flavor on the donut were also mediocre. Maybe they weren't very fresh although this was late morning.

It has nearly been a decade since my spouse and I have been here and we were nervous about coming back since we enjoyed it so much the first time we came here. Overall our experience was similar as the first time. The dough of the doughnuts was very soft with a nice chew, and the flavors of my lemon tiramisu and Nutella doughnuts were both great. My spouse didn’t enjoy her vanilla cream as much though as she shared that it didn’t taste all that much like vanilla and was too bland. I had a similar experience with my lemon tiramisu which just tasted like lemon, but was still quite good.

We had heard a lot about the donuts from here in public forums. So we arrived here one day. What we ordered - A variety of donuts - chocolate, lemon curd, vanilla and raspberry. Drip coffee and cappuccino. All the donuts were cold and dry. Only good thing I liked was the vanilla custard filling. The price is a deterrent too. The coffee was truly forgettable.

Nope. Not good. The fillings were great, and the donut texture was good, but they tasted like old oil. Like overpowering old oil. They are each $6 as well, which is way too much.

I actually rarely get donuts here but finally tried a cronut. It was really tasty. Doughy but not too sweet with a crispy outside. I usually come here for their fun fridge of random drinks. This kombucha was amazing.

I love that this place is trying to be sustainable ( glass cups and metal straws). Wifi was fast enough for the two zoom calls I had. There were at least 3 other people using the internet at the time. A good amout of wall outlets. 3 star rating cause the donut just didn't do it. It reminded me of safeway and dunkins. I like my brioche donuts more airy. It wasn't fluffy. The mocha was also just ok. The chocolate syrup was a bit overpowering. Bathroom was quite clean. Didn't see a changing table in the one I went in.

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.

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 😮‍💨

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 .

Hidden gem. Must go and try their pastries. Selection can be a tad limited but everything tried was 5/5. The roll was doughy and a splurge of cinnamon taste. The pie had a great crunchy base with a chocolate layer that went great with the passion fruit topping. Will definitely have again if I see it.

Lovely little cafe tucked away in a relatively quiet street. I ordered the black sesame salted caramel latte (with salted whipped cream), cardomom knot, and breakfast sandwich. All were so good! Especially the latte. Would come back just for that. Lots of seating both outdoors and indoors, with a water bowl outside for the pups. I came on a Thursday morning and there was plenty of seating, but can’t speak to how busy it might be on a weekend.

Bake Shop is in a lovely neighborhood, and we visited on a sunny Saturday morning when the café was filled with natural light. There’s also outdoor seating, but the place was busy with a long line, so ordering took a while. The café feels authentic, with most of the food made fresh. I ordered a mocha and a veggie sandwich—the sandwich took about 30 minutes but was absolutely worth the wait. The coffee was okay, nothing special, so I’d come here more for the food than the drinks. The coffee cost felt reasonable, but the food was on the expensive side—our coffee and veggie sandwich came to around $30 with tip, which I think is a bit much. Paid street parking is available nearby.

I’ve never reviewed anywhere on Google before, but I have been a such a long time fan of Bake shop and I’ve been so disappointed recently that I felt like saying something. First off, their bakery items are spectacular and the coffee is so fantastic, so I definitely recommend those. However the food is SO bad recently. It seems like they went from making each sandwich/toast fresh per order to just making everything ahead of time and pulling it out of the fridge. The quality of the meals has gone down so much. The most recent time I went I got the veggie toast; there were almost no veggies (it used to be piled so high you couldn’t see the bread and was FABULOUS), it was COLD, and there was a fully uncooked clove of garlic sitting on it (see pictures)! The last several times I’ve ordered any of the sandwiches/toasts, they’ve been completely cold and honestly, just taste worse, to the point where I haven’t finished them. It also seems like they don’t come with the side salads or chips anymore but cost the same, which is so small but again just makes everything seem more disappointing. I had hoped it was a one-off issue, but this most recent time was the third experience like this. Overall the meal quality is so low now and it’s disappointing, since I have loved this place for years. But the baked goods, coffee, and FOH servers are all still so wonderful and lovely, so I can still recommend those! Just don’t go here for a meal. I hope they can make a comeback!

I am frustratingly trying to find somewhere in Seattle that has good breakfast food for a good price without a line out the door. I have yet to find it and Bake Shop is like all the other cafes in Seattle. $15.50 for a small breakfast sandwich and a 40 minute wait for a to-go order with a line nearly out the door. I’ll admit it was a good sandwich but in my opinion not worth the time invested.

Best black sesame coffee, sourdough chocolate babka and veggie breakfast sandwich with mushroom were really good! We got the miso chocolate chip cookie to-go and that was delicious as well!!! Absolutely recommend this place!!!

this cafe has a cozy vibe and a unique menu with an Asian twist. I tried the sesame matcha and miso cookie, both were delicious. It’s not those typical loud cafes so it’s great for studying or chatting with friends, although I think having a car would make it easier to go again but would highly recommend

The food here is insanely good, I wouldn't have expected it honestly. I got a chicken caesar wrap thinking how good can a caesar wrap really be..... But I learned they can in fact be amazing !? Their fries were also so tasty and they gave me so many. Unfortunately I feel like their baked items are really not that good. I got their donut and the cream had a weird texture. I actually didn't finish it, took the rest home, and never bothered eating the leftovers because it just seemed unappetizing. Would come again for food and vibes, but pass on baked goods next time.

I got to visit here today with a group of friends and it was a lot of fun. Went ahead and got the biscuits and gravy plate along with a warm London fog. You get a lot of food for the price, but just a heads up if you add the fried chicken to the gravy plate it’s gonna go from $13 to $18, so keep an eye on that register when they punch it in for you. There are also were no prices (that I could spot) listed for any of the baked goods in the counter. The lack of clarity here is why I’m gonna go ahead and do a 4/5 stars because that’s… important lol. They have paper menus up for grabs at the entry so you can browse while you wait in line, which was lovely. I have a rollator (walker with wheels, brakes, and a seat) and the staff was very sweet and helped me carry my food and drink to the outside table where my friends and I were eating. They did allow us to rearrange four of the six tables and many chairs to accommodate our group which was very kind as well! In terms of accessibility, there were two disabled parking spots nearby, both of which had an unloading zone on the righthand side. All the parking spaces are compact size. The interior of the shop is NOT wheelchair accessible in my opinion- it’s just too narrow, especially the standing area in the direct entry. Definitely not for a motorized wheelchair. Crutches and canes would be perfectly fine.

I came here with friends for a brunch. They don’t have a huge menu for brunch but their breakfast sandwiches are great. They make them on brioche buns and they’re so flavorful. The drinks are super creative and fun. I had strawberry cheesecake cold foam cold brew.

Saw this spot on the socials and just knew we had to try the ruffle rice crispy but unfortunately it did disappoint. Not enough salt, not crunchy and just lacked the vibe. We also tried the vanilla crème donut which too unfortunately had little flavor. But the chocolate crinkle cookie was okay! My husband ordered the cereal milk latte with the fruity pebbles milk, he liked it but as expected as sweet. The chai tea latte unfortunately lacked flavor as well and was more a hot cup of water than ran by a chai tea bag :( if this is local to you, stop by and see but I won’t be driving out of the way for it again. Happy munching!

Under the gaze of Dolly & Tony, Little Jaye serves up some of the most delicious sandwiches and pastries in the city. Whether it's the savory breakfast sandwiches, the overstuffed donuts, the sprinkle cookies, or the myriad other delicacies under the glass, I am constantly blown away when I visit. Show up patient and hungry - I'm definitely not alone loving them as proven by the line. But don't worry! They move fast, and the wait is always worth it!

Service was great, fast, and staff was cool. The outdoor seating was cute and the indoor tables had a cool cozy industrial vibe. Unfortunately I just wasn’t a fan of the food. I went home to finish cooking the egg, I’m sure they would’ve made it none runny if I asked but it was busy so I didn’t want to add inconvenience. I was overall not really into the Smashwich. I was excited because what could go wrong with a brioche bun butter crisped, with exciting mayo, egg, sausage, and hash brown? But to my disappointment it was too bready and bland. The doughnut was okay, probably for people who don’t want something super sweet and the vanilla crème was underwhelming in my opinion. The doughnut itself was a sugar covered dough which I thought was decent. The cortado was espresso with equal parts steamed milk, simply good. I most likely won’t return but I think I personally just wasn’t the targeted guest. Also good to note, no lunch items are served here on the weekends.

A great place to sit outside and and enjoy one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever tasted ( the smashwich). Its a small selection of tems, but each thing is made to perfection. The spiced Chai is nice and strong with good flavor. The area is not a lot to look, so not a scenic stop, but that only serves to make this place feel like a hidden gem for the locals.

Food: definitely on the dessert side. They do sell savory breakfast sandwiches but never been in on time to order since they close the kitchen down around 2pm. Got the olive oil cake (whipped cream and lemon curd) and the citrus danish with cream cheese. It was bright but likely too sweet for the morning/after for me. Atmosphere: open kitchen, small, cramped, limited seating but plenty of outside space. I’m sure beautiful when sunny and warm. Service: quick, direct, neutral. Would come again knowing it’s for a sweet tooth craving and seeing what’s rotating in the display case.

Highly, highly recommend! These aren’t the typical pastries you find everywhere, but they’re also not the kind of over-the-top fusion pastries that just don’t taste good. Loved the rhubarb bread! It was at the perfect spot for sweetness and fruity tardiness. The only one we didn’t love was the kimchi cheese pastry. The combination of cilantro and cheese clashed with the kimchi, creating a strong flavor conflict. Instead of bringing out freshness or acidity, the kimchi got overpowered by the cream, which ended up coating the entire palate. We were surprised by the line on a weekend morning, but it was worth the wait. The store is small, but there’s some outdoor seating that’s perfect for warm weather.

Stumbled across Ben's Bread Co. while running some errands. The bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich was fantastic (the sourdough English muffin is perfect), and I loaded up a box of pastries too which were also great. Looking forward to coming back to sample more items (like the blue corn cookie) and the coffee!

They make pizza one day a week, and it’s definitely worth going for. The ingredients used on the pizza are top quality and delicious. The dough is flavorful and perfectly baked. It holds the generous, incredibly tasty toppings beautifully—so much so that you can eat it with one hand without the slice folding. The place is located in a covered passage. Those who arrive early get to sit down and enjoy their pizza. Right next to it, there’s an excellent wine shop that sells and serves natural wines. Both the prices and the wines themselves are great. If you’d like to enjoy your pizza with wine, you need to sit at the wine shop’s tables when ordering the pizza—only then can they serve you wine. We had a wonderful evening in this passage where high-quality places come together. Highly recommended to everyone.

When I got here, I was a little bit surprised that there was no line, as I kind of expected one. It was on a weekend, but slightly after the normal lunch hour. Since I've heard a lot of things, I decided to try a bunch of things. I got the fancy breakfast sandwich, english muffin with sourdough, cinnamon twist, and a salted caramel cookie Starting with the breakfast sandwich, it was good, but I was expecting better. The brioche buns were quite nice on the outsides - they were toasted very well and super soft. Also, the souffled egg tasted great. However, the rest of the stuff was just kind of average. The cheese was essentially nonexistent - if I didn't know the description of the item beforehand I would've assumed that it was just a sausage & egg sandwich with no cheese involved. Also, the sausage just tasted like your average breakfast sandwich sausage you can find at like McDonald's The english muffin was a bit better, but not that much so. Obviously, salted butter makes everything taste better, so that was nice. The outside was pretty crispy as well, but I did find the muffin to be quite chewy - to the point where it was annoying to eat. The jam also wasn't amazing either - I ended up not using the majority of it. The inside was really fluffy and nice though. Moving onto the desserts, my favorite of these was the salted caramel cookie, as it was well salted, had a good crunch to it, and was well-baked. The inside was not really gooey at all, but the chocolate was still nicely melted. On the contrary, the cinnamon twist was actively bad. It felt stale, cold, and eating it gave me basically no enjoyment at all The total for these 4 items came out to around 30 dollars, which is kind of a lot. I think each of these items are either slightly or a good amount overpriced, with the donut probably being the worst of these, with the english muffin being the most reasonable Overall, I see hints of the high quality I've heard about, but it's not enough to make me come back here. 7/10

we talk about the chorizo hash and fancy breakfast sandwich all.the.time!! it was one of the most memorable meals we've had in seattle, and we always tell all of our friends and family about it when they're in town or looking for a place to grab brunch! everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. we snagged a table outside and enjoyed our food and drinks. we've been back multiple times since and are always impressed with their pastry selection! our favs are the savory brioche pastries they rotate out seasonally, and we always have to grab a bag of english muffins! they freeze perfectly if we can't eat them right away, and they always taste super fresh when we do get around to them! we will always show them off and hype them up because their food, their space, and their company mission are all the things we need more of in this world <3

Super neat concept and experience overall. We did our first monthly pick up and are pleased with the options and variety so far. The actual space inside is well decorated and filled with delicious looking baked goods (although space for seating seemed a bit small.) Looking forward to future monthly pick ups!

If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend you stop by Bell's Cookies Co. They gave perfected their recipe and offer you a solid selection of cookies that aren't too sweet and just as tasty. My personal favorite was the Lemon 🍋 Blueberry 🫐, it was soft and perfectly baked. Come find your personal favorite.

Colombian Cookies with no preservatives made and served fresh! The staff is an absolute delight to talk to and they are very friendly and kind. I hade two types of cookies: chocolate chip and peanut butter, those are two you cannot pass up.

I’ll definitely recommend this sweet shop if you’re in the Green Lake area. We tried the s’mores cookie and it was amazing! Gooey, rich, and perfectly baked! They even gifted us a peanut butter cookie, and wow… it had creamy peanut butter inside that any peanut butter lover would be obsessed with. 😍 We also enjoyed Nutty Squirrel gelato and paired it with the snickerdoodle granola. A match made in heaven. 😋 They were sold out of the salted caramel flavor but I can imagine these two would also be a perfect match. Great treats all around and can’t wait to come back!

Wow! A friend of mine sent me a box of these wonderful cookies for my birthday! They are melt in your mouth good. If I could give this company 10 stars I would. What a fun gift to give someone I will share (maybe) and savor each bite!

If you’re looking for amazing cookies and even better customer service, Brendan is your guy! From the moment I walked in, he made the whole experience warm and welcoming. He was super knowledgeable about all the flavors and even gave great recommendations (the red velvet was life-changing). You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure customers leave happy. The store was clean, organized, and had that perfect fresh-baked cookie smell that makes you want to try everything. Thanks, Brendan, for making my visit so memorable, can’t wait to come back for more!

I GOT A COOKIE HIGH. This place is wonderful, delicious flavored cookies and they were very nice, definitely my favorite cookie place in Seattle! We got to try the smore, blueberry and lemon, corn, and bells flavors and I think the s’more and bells were my favorites.

Staff was polite and friendly. They recommended the Colombian Corn cookie and the Bell's (crunchy chocolate chunks) cookie. Both were really good. I recommend going here for a sweet treat/snack.

We were visiting from out of town and stumbled on Cardoon, and I'm really happy we did. The food, drinks, and staff were fantastic and I'll definitely be coming back when I'm back in town. The German and Chinese spin on food dishes was really interesting. The tomato and egg rice was really unexpected but really delicious as the flavours instantly reminded me of Berlin and currywurst. The sausage and veg toast was also really yummy. The coffee was great too! I really enjoyed the seaweed latte. It's definitely a must try.

We tried Latte's, and the honey cake. This might be an unpopular opinion, but the flavors, both the soy caramel and the lava carmel, were pretty unappetizing. The flavors also came with an extra $1.40 charge, which felt a bit steep. I asked if they had regular caramel, but unfortunately they didn't. Out of curiosity, I also asked what the lava caramel was made of, but the barista didn't seem to know. The honey cake was actually quite good-light and flavorful-but again, on the pricey side. Overall, the place feels a bit overhyped. I might return to try a plain latte, but wouldn't go out of my way for anything else.

Is one of the busiest cafe in Ballard. Their coffee is nice. Enjoy my coffee very much outside the cafe with cooling weather.

The rose latte had too much syrup and was overall ok. The honey cake is stunning (I’m Ukrainian and have high standards for honey cakes!)

I hadn’t visited Cardoon since July. Back then, there seemed to be new baristas, and I didn’t enjoy the latte as much as the ones I’d had earlier in the year. I went back today to try a new flavor, and it looks like the barista who consistently makes great coffee is back. And yes—I loved today’s coffee, and it’s the prettiest one I’ve ever had.

What a lovely crew at this immaculate little shop! We were strangers in an unfamiliar neighborhood and stepped in to get out of the rain. Enticed by the aroma of coffee and chai tea, we learned quickly that they have a full menu. Run by a husband and wife team, they celebrate their combined Chinese and German heritage with the food and drink offerings. They even serve beer and wine and drink specials. Obviously they are great people because we went back for more on the next day and the staff treated us like old friends and regulars! Highly recommended.

Cute coffee shop with light bites! They have some tables and seating inside as well as wifi, so was able to get a little work done here on my laptop :) Food-wise, I enjoyed the egg sandwich but felt like the tomato + rice dish was a little underwhelming. I also had the Shanghai Fog which was nice, very mild flavor but lightly sweet and comforting. Overall I think this spot is a little on the pricy side for me, but the vibe is good and the staff is lovely.

Not quite what I was expecting.. it's essentially a small open kitchen bakery in the basement of a restaurant on Market St. The cashier was friendly and seemed aware the location was strange. I ordered the White Chocolate Guava Cheesecake and the Ube Cookie. The cheesecake was rich (5/5). The cookie was good too (4/5). I would go here again.

Cheesecakes are great! The customer service is great too. She was patient, letting us take our time to decide, made recommendations and was friendly. Great sales person but not pushy. I’m a big fan of good service. You can have just mediocre product but great service and I’ll be back. Good Bakery has fantastic customer service AND fantastic cheesecakes. Stop by if you’re in Ballard and treat yo self.

Just tried their purple yam ube cheesecake.... best. Cheesecake. Ever. Ube is usually a very mild sweet, and it works so well with their cream cheese. The flavor doesn't quickly go away either, it lasts!

Amazingly Light and Refreshing Cheesecake! You have not tried cheesecake until you've had it from Hood Famous Bakeshop! Try it in so many different flavors including coffee, mango, and the signature yume purple yam from the Philippines. Quite yummy!

The quality of desserts here is top notch. Loved their ube cheesecake. (Note: it's in a small downstairs space. Don't expect to sit down here; all their treats are well-wrapped for you to take away.)

Awesome cheesecakes, fot ube, white chocolate guava, manga calamansi(my favorite) coconut pandan and vanilla bean .

Don't waste your time. This place never seems to be open when theyre supposed to be. I've tried to visit a handful of times now going off of the hours on their website and driven by countless times more and they're just always closed.

This cute dessert shop is a definite stop in. They are currently opened on the weekend and have a good selection. The worked was super sweet and helped me pick what I wanted. I got the tres leches and it was delicious. I will definitely be back.

This place is delicious!! The desserts are not only beautiful, but also SO flavorful! Highly recommend the mango sticky rice Krispy treat and miso cookie. Also their matcha is bomb as well. Ate all my sweet treats before I could get a pic.

OVERALL: Would love to go back to try more of their items! Family friendly: Yes and no… No restriction on age but they have a sign that limits 5 customers at a time in their store Pet friendly: No Parking: Street Parking FOOD/MENU: Mango Sticky Rice Rice Crispy Treat (Coconut infused marshmallow, dried mango, toasted coconut) $5: 4 Stars – At first bite, you really did not taste anything… like it tasted like a normal rice crispy treat… but slowly, the coconut and mango flavor come in and its like WOW. Black sesame rice crispy treat (brown butter, roasted black sesame seeds, black sesame paste, flaky sea salt) $5: 3 Stars – I really wanted to love this since all things black sesame is amazing!!! The flavor was light, very light… If it was more robust flavor, I think it would have been a lot better. Vegan Ube cookies & cream rice crispy treat (ube marshmallows, vegan butter, gluten free oreo pieces) $5: 3 Stars – I’m on the fence about this. This was opposite for me with the Ube and Mango… I could taste it right away but the more I ate, the less I liked it… nothing bad about it but maybe a little artificial tasting? Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie (milk and dark chocolate and Okinawan sea salt) $5: 4 Stars – This was soooo yummy and gooey. I loved that they used large chucks verse “chips.” I do wish this was a little bigger for being priced at $5. I’ve seen other bakeries that have smaller cookies but priced 2-3x more and are horrible… so I guess I shouldn’t complain? LOL Yuzu-berry tiramisu (ladyfinger sponge, yuzu soak, marionberry jam, vanilla mascarpone cream) $12: 3 Stars – Very yuzy, very berry tasting LOL I do prefer the classic tiramisu over this one though… I think this is the time that classic will trump modern/contemporary 😊 RESTAURANT/SERVICE: Small little cute bake shop. Due to the limit of 5 customers inside, we did not stay long as a small line started to form by the time we were done ordering. Even with the limited amount of time spent, the workers were extremely friendly and helpful.

Amazing baked goods, everything I got was genuinely delicious not one miss. The jasmine tea rice crispy treat changed my life and I will make the trek back here soon.

We originally found Kelly’s desserts at a pop-up before she opened Kemi Dessert Bar. Her creations are not only extremely unique, but they also deliver the taste. Kelly also graciously catered desserts for our wedding, which were a huge hit amongst the guests. We highly recommend visiting the storefront or getting desserts catered for any occasion!

Top notch. I got the black sesame Rice Krispie and the Vietnamese coffee and toffee chip cookie and I had a bite of the miso sesame cookie and they were all amazing. I’ll def be back for the fruity pebble Rice Krispie and the pandan cookie.

Kelly and the team are dessert and drink magicians!! We ordered the black sesame rice crispy, the June-special mango sago cake box, and the cherry calpico drink. Everything was memorable and so dang tasty! Looking forward to our next trip trying more menu staples and monthly specials 😍 Really hoping the cherry calpico drink special stays on long-term because it was literally magic!

Amazing food and service. Note some of the dishes had dairy modifications for our dietary preferences. Portions are a bit smaller so plan accordingly. Great spot!

We came here for a business meeting. The location was very accommodating to our needs and gave us an amazing seat our on the private patio. All of the food had amazing flavor and was seasoned very well. Drinks were all on point and we had at least one server and two bussers helping us with our plates. Overall I would take my partner here for a nice date night. The food was on point and the atmosphere was very laid back.

I like the kind of restaurant where the food is good and the atmosphere is casual. This is that kind of restaurant. We ordered the bread, clams, cauliflower, Bloody Mary oyster shooter, Vesuvio pasta, and Whole Grecian Branzino. Honestly everything was DELICIOUS. Surprisingly, the pasta was the Star (a unique mix of flavors that worked so well). Nothing was overly heavy, everything was healthful. Cocktails and wine also excellent. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie and apple beignets….yum!! P.s. thank you *Caressa* for the excellent service!!

Delicious seafood, but expensive! The smoked trout salad is excellent. We were a little disappointed with the Fijian tombo tartare—it's not bad, just lacking a little something to take it over the top (maybe just some more salt?). For mains, the branzino is essential. The seafood stew is also really good. And the apple beignets are certainly decadent! Great to split with a few folks. Just be ready for a steep bill!

Astoundingly mediocre. I'm not sure how this place has such high reviews when there are countless other fresh seafood places out there. The oysters were just ok, no one bothered telling us what kind they were. The tuna tartare was bland. Most of their dishes were underwhelming and lacked presentation. The final nail in the coffin for me was the mandatory 23% "service charge" when the service wasn't all that great. I have experienced more enthusiasm from servers at Waffle House. I support restaurant workers making a liveable wage but they really need to figure out how to incentivize doing your job well at the same time. Just a tip for anyone visiting Seattle and wanting to experience some quality seafood & service-- I would skip this place and go to Elliotts, Taylors, or Dukes.

Cute spot for a date with flavorful seafood-forward dishes. Lost a star primarily because it’s too expensive. It’s very nice and fun, but it’s too casual a vibe for the prices, and the portions aren’t large enough nor the food unique enough to justify how expensive it is. We mostly ordered off the happy hour menu, and it still added up too high. $18 cocktails on the main menu are rich, for example. And $3 oysters are the discounted happy hour rate, when they’re usually $5! Each! Also, there’s a 23% automatic gratuity that started in June 2025, which is pretax, so it’s effectively 25% after the 10% sales tax rate. On top of Seattle’s tipped workers making full $20+ minimum wage. However, the experience was really fun. The oysters were absolutely to die for. Top 5 for me easily. Buttery and briney and perfect sized all at the same time. From the Puget Sound. Usually I’d be upset no cocktail sauce or horseradish were provided, but the mignonette and lemon were actually perfect here. The clams in broth were well cooked, but they needed one more piece of bread at least. The fried calamari was definitely the most interesting. Instead of feeling deep fried, it was a thin layer of tiny seedy batter. It actually let the high quality squid shine. So good. The hamachi crudo was as you’d expect anywhere else it’s served. Solid. The seafood paella was good, and they took the chorizo out for us. I wish there was more rice (it’s cheap! Give us a little more substance!), and I wish they’d crisped the rice at the bottom as it’s traditionally done. The spicy margs and white lotus cocktails were both fun, good size, strong without being too liquor-dominated in flavor. Just a bit pricy ($12 happy hour and $18, respectively). Overall, I’d consider returning, but the prices are just a bit too high. I wish it were a little fancier if so. Or larger portions. Or maybe an 18% automatic gratuity if you’re gonna do it at all.

The food was delicious. I ordered fresh oysters and the lamb ragout. The espresso martini they make here the super tasty. The foam on top is such a smooth texture. 👌🏽 The wagyu short ribs are very tender and cooked perfectly. The waiter took too long to come take my order before happy hour ended, so I flagged down (nicely) a super sweet waitress, and she took over no problem and got everything we needed before the happy hour ended. But overall, the service was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere, I like the set up, it's an open floor plan with a good seating arrangement. And the mood lighting works well for a date night, birthday gathering, or just a company dinner. Update: I unknowingly ordered the same items again for my second time visiting Rock Creek. I did order an additional oysters shooter, the Bloody Vodka. It was good. I wish I ordered the oysters starter and shooter together. But I know for next time. The swordfish dish was recommended by my friend, though! & enjoyed the spicy margarita shooter as well. I also order the Burrata & tomato, it's definitely different than others I've tried before. It's good but something that I won't be ordering again. The green olives and the orange sauce didn't go very well for me personally. But I like being adventurous and trying new dishes here so no regrets.

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.

At first, you question why they charge for bread, but once you try it, you'll understand it's well worth the price - Just wow. Honestly, we could've had only bread for dinner and that would've been a wonderful experience. The gnocchi was fantastic with rich and bold flavors, while la Spiga's tiramisu dish was one of the best we have had in the Seattle-area. We'll definitely be adding la Spiga to our rotation

Seriously, my meal at La Spiga in Seattle really stuck with me. I loved the taste of everything. That Tagliatelle al Burro di Tartufo was so rich and flavorful, I could have eaten it all night. And the Pappardelle al Coniglio? So comforting and delicious. But honestly, the Panna Cotta al Caramello (pictured) was the perfect ending. It was ✨👌🏽 It was definitely my favorite place I ate at in Seattle.

We really wanted to like La Spiga Osteria, but our experience fell short in several ways. First, our server gave us the wrong information about the bread that comes with the cheese plate, which led us to order the calamari. The calamari was severely overpriced — $22 for a very small plate of thin, over-fried pieces. Definitely not worth the money. The pastas were fine, but portions were small for the price. To make matters worse, one of our pasta orders was wrong. They remade it, but by the time it came out, one of us had already finished eating. These things happen, but there was no apology beyond a quick “sorry,” and no effort to make it right. Finally, when the bill came, we noticed they had upcharged each pasta dish by $2 compared to the menu. I had to ask the server to adjust it — not exactly the kind of attention to detail or customer care you’d expect. Overall, between the overpriced appetizers, small portions, incorrect order, and billing issues, this was a disappointing experience. We won’t be returning.

If you’re craving Italian in Seattle, this is the spot! The lasagna is incredible — rich, comforting, and perfectly made. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great choice for date night. On top of that, the staff really knows how to take care of you. Highly recommend!

This place seems to be like fine wine, getting better with age. The cocktail skills and backbar are excellent. The staffing is adequate, (as opposed to understaffed). The menu hasn't changed all that much, but, little need to mess with a good thing. Happy Hour gets you a couple bucks off some food and drink items, not much more. Though we do seem to find ourselves here more at that time of day, so, I really can't comment on what it looks like during a dinner rush.

We had the roasted peach with burrata and prosciutto appetizer which was yummy and satisfied our summer craving, but entrees were something we had to grit through. The gnocchi and lasagna were incredibly salty. It was like taking a bite of ocean water with each spoonful. Good drinks. Great service. Lovely atmosphere but unfortunately the food just doesn’t make up for it.

Came here this past weekend with some girlfriends for a birthday dinner and we were unfortunately so let down by the experience. The food was completely flavorless, we ordered 2 of the bread offerings, which are hard to mess up but even those weren't good. The pastas were all bad (we ordered 3), the braised beef had a strange texture. The atmosphere is fine and the wine selection was good. All that to say, save your time and money, this place was not worth it at all. Bummer

We had a wonderful experience at the London plane. I love the concept of the store and I have wanted to try it out for some time now. I love the interiors. The staff is very polite. We ordered the plane plate and baked eggs with mimosas. Everything was very pleasant to eat. Felt like a good start to my day.

Simple menu but very tasty breakfast sandwich a d boiled egg. Lovely setting and location. I wish there was espresso drinks but the drip coffee was decent. A little bit pricey but good quality ingredients. The only thing I was to excited about was the side salad for the breakfast sandwich didn't add anything to my meal.

This spot is super cool and very European feeling! It is a great spot in Pioneer Square! I had the green eggs and ham and a raspberry lime soda, which were both delicious. I gave it 4 stars because I made a reservation and somehow they couldn’t find it because they said their system doesn’t sync well with online reservations. They also were out of 2 dishes on the menu and the menu is quite small. I wanted the daily quiche and they said there were all out, but then 15 minutes later they walked out with more of it for other costumers. Overall it was a nice place for lunch and the service was good.

Wonderful decor. Yummy pastries. Delicious food. With a bit of Mediterranean flavors in the food, it’s an amazing place to discover new spins in classic brunch dishes. The decor was beautiful when you walk in and if it’s too busy, you can always grab a coffee and a kouign amman or a croissant to go

I usually don’t give negative reviews but I had a bad experience here. This dine in and take out restaurant is conveniently located downtown. We came across this while doing a Seattle tour and caught a everyone’s attention because of beautiful and trendy this place looked. My friends and I were super excited about having breakfast here. The wait time was extremely long but we were lucky enough to be seated before hand. The wait time was terrible when we ordered our coffees. There was no communication between the server and us to let us know she was short staffed. We had to get up and find her to ask about our coffee. As soon as she got our coffee our came out. The food super disgusting and bland. Everyone from the table after eating our food got sick minutes of eating. I would never come and try this place again unless it’s for a cup of coffee.

Best pastries I've had in Seattle after sampling at least 10 bakeries this month. The outdoor seating was really cute, and they have a wide selection of artisanal ingredients for sale. I went here because I read somewhere that they had great sourdough, but the woman at the cash register said they didn't make fresh bread anymore. I did spot some in the back (see picture) so not sure what's up with that

It was definitely delicious and I will return! Not the cheapest place but it is what it is. The breads were thick and delicious and worth the price. Some of the sides... Not so much. They didn't have London fogs on the menu (how???) but they were still able to make them for us. Decent service. I definitely want to return here just as a place to chill and read a book but I'm not sure if it really acts as a cafe as everyone else was eating full meals. There's a cute shop on the one side of it though with cool wares.

I was craving chocolate chip cookies but I didn’t know where to get them since I’m a tourist in Seattle, so I googled it and this place popped up. Was only an 8min walk away from my hotel and very easy to find. We went in and were greeted by a smiling and super kind employee who obviously loves his job. We got the big Bull Chip cookie because it was my father’s birthday, and we all absolutely loved it. We will definitely come back the next time we have a cookie craving!

Omg I love the little mini cookies 🔥 I just bought 10 packs for the weekend for my wife happy wife happy wife happy life🎉

Cow chip cookie was good and kids enjoyed their m&m cookies

OMG! Great cookies! A wonderful variety with all my favorites. The woman behind the counter was super sweet and shared lots of information. Sad to know they're closed this weekend so I can't get more. Definitely recommend!

The cookies are good but the prices are a little ridiculous. You can get much better deals elsewhere in downtown. Purely based on quality I'd rate it higher but I ended up spending like $25 on 8 or so cookies that weren't even that big.

My boyfriend and I were just walking by, when we were visiting Seattle, and decided to try a cow chip cookie. It was amazing! The lady was so friendly, and the cookies were delicious. We will definitely go back when we visit Seattle!!

The best cookies I've had in my life! Too bad I live too far but happy that they can deliver through the mail. Totally recommend this place if you are a cookie lover!

Overall I had an amazing experience with a very big group (9 people) for dine in. They do not take reservations - walk up only. The food had big portions and very tasty! We went on a Sunday so it was very busy. We had to wait 15-20 minutes. I’m glad you can order coffee or a drink at the counter while you wait. They offer alternative milks too to their drinks. I highly recommend the a hot vanilla matcha latte. Large breakfast and lunch menu. Pretty standard large party fee. Reasonably priced and love that it’s a local owned business. Two bathroom. Inside is on the smaller size so be careful is sound is overwhelming. They do have outdoor dining with a few heaters.

So glad this wonderful neighborhood restaurant is still around. The food is always good - whether that’s breakfast items or lunch/dinner. They have such a big menu too, everyone can find something that they love from burgers to omelette, to pancakes, to delicious crab cakes (try the Benedict). Very relaxed, family friendly environment with indoor and outdoor seating. Oh and their cocktails are great! They are a neighborhood staple!

Oh I went into here with an open mind but the food I got was so sub-par. Dungeness crab cake with pesto tossed scrambled eggs and breakfast potatos... and toast. Briefly. Crab cake was more of a crab patty (insert SpongeBob joke). A generous dollop of hollandaise placed right on top guarantees a flavorful experience. Pesto scrambled eggs. Watery, I'm not sure it's taken into account how much moisture the pesto adds to the scrambled eggs. Breakfast potatoes. Served.... not that warm? I can tell seasoning is added but it's hard to pick it out. Usually perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes don't need anything added to them... but for these I had to throw on ketchup and hot sauce (still didn't finish them, though). The toast and accompanying jam was very good and perhaps my favorite part of the meal. The coffee was also very good, but I did arrive just as they opened so it was at peak freshness... I'll probably make a return trip to here since it's within walking distance from my place, but I'll do so cautiously...

I enjoyed my potatoes and eggs, but the pancakes were less appealing as they were chewy; the service and atmosphere were good!

This casual eatery is great for a quick, satisfying meal. Bryant Corner Cafe has a wide variety of selections, including a decent number of pastries. They have egg dishes as well as pancakes and French toast. The coffee is good and plentiful. Service is efficient and there is enough space for larger parties. I had a nicely made Lox Benedict served with crispy, yummy country potatoes.

Local café, I go for breakfast occasionally. Older building, with eclectic mix of booths and dining tables. Not busy on a Saturday morning. Friendly staff, friendly neighbors and great diner food, reasonably priced.

Enjoying the Bryant Breakfast which consists of two eggs, breakfast potatoes, and toast and of course I added coffee. Great atmosphere for a simple breakfast.

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!

Nice little bakery in the Madison Park. I stopped in for coffee and a doughnut. The old fashion was great and the coffee was good. It looks different then previous pictures, light blue instead of red but I guess there's been an ownership change. Nice stop!

Saffron and butter risotto Milanese savored in the golden hour glow of Lago di Como. Perfectly fried seafood jalea, ocean fresh ceviche and crunchy, golden yucca the reward for a long journey through Lima's grittier barrios. Memorable experiences, but not surprising. Not like the fact that some of the best French pâtisserie can be found right here on the wild frontier, a block from Lake Washington. With the superb Madison Park Bakery within a frisbee toss of home, I have an excellent reason NOT to sit on a plane for 12 hours en route to Paris. With pastry this good, why budge from Mad Park? Now let me zoom out a bit... My recent "discovery" of the Madison Park Bakery must be a karmic pay-back for maintaining such low cholesterol and triglycerides for decades... And as D.H. Lawrence ends a famous poem, I too "have something to expiate, a pettiness." Meaning assumptions way off the mark: the few times, years ago, I bothered to peer into MPB's hazy window (I could only make out a few lurid cupcakes and frosted cookies), I assumed this bakery was of the stale 1950s relic variety. So never did I cross the threshold during my first 14+ years residing in MP. Even though I'm close enough when I crack open a window, I can catch a waft of the yeasty ovens. I can't speak for what this bakery used to be, though judging from others' reviews, the MPB has changed mightily since new owners came along a couple years ago. That's a long time to have unknowingly deprived myself of Provençal baker Cecilia Lystad's exquisite almond croissant and her other decadent pieces-de-resistance, including her crème brûlée croissant and Basque cheesecake. You will need to muster up supernatural self-discipline to refrain from finishing this chef's masterful confections in one sitting. They are that good, my fellow gourmands and goinfres! Always a fan of competition between virtuosi (think Messi vs. Ronaldo), I recently pitted MPB's almond croissant against one baked by that Colossus by the Bay, San Francisco's world-renown Tartine Bakery. The result was like Lionel blasting home a penalty kick with my grandma (RIP) defending the goal. While Tartine's almond croissant was uninspiring, even stodgy, nothing lifting it above the quality of say, the kind of croissant baked who-knows-when that you might find at Oakland Airport (we feel for you, Oakland!) while waiting for a redeye flight delayed indefinitely, MPB's almond croissant exemplified the magnificent, everything about it 5-star: the crisp, flaky crust, the interior a master class in light-yet-filling butteryness, and the almond filling generous and redolent of fresh, hand-ground almonds. Take that, Tartine! At $6.50+ including tax, think of MPB's almond croissant less as a mere pastry, and more like an investment in your culinary education—so if you're fortunate enough to later taste-test Paris's best offerings, you'll have a very high standard by which to judge. Though you might want to just save the airfare and instead invest those $$$ in furthering your education right here in Madness Park, proceeding to MPB's crazy-good crème brûlée croissant invention. They were long gone by midday when the lovely staff member Marie first brought them to my attention, so I strategically crow-barred myself out of bed at 6:45 the following Saturday morning and just barely beat out MPB's loyal line-up of crack-of-dawn pastry zombies...and to my delight snagged one of these coveted treasures. A cylinder of crisp croissant perfection topped with, yes, a deep, diet-crushing skating pond of eggy, custardy crème brûlée, complete with torched brown sugar glassy top. As your unofficial lipid guardian, I challenge you to halt when you've inhaled just half of Chef Cecilia's crème brûlée croissant. Sharing is a virtue. Bon chance! PS: I've barely begun to indulge in MPB's many tempting choices. My understanding is that the chef is always experimenting with interesting twists on French classics, so I'm sure as a gourmand/goinfre/gastropod-in-training I'll find much to enjoy—I need to make up for lost time!

It was such a joy to discover this place! The fresh bread selection and the carefully crafted pastries are truly delicious. The chausson aux pommes and fresh fruit pastry were my favorites — both looked and tasted amazing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the presentation of the products is beautiful and appetizing. Thanks to everyone who puts so much care into this bakery. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This is the real deal: Neighborhood bakery vibe but pastries, sandwiches, bread, espresso and more that could be from a nice bakery in Italy or France. The staff was super friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This cute little neighborhood spot is a must-visit! I grabbed a couple of sandwiches to-go while I was in the area, and both of them were absolutely delicious. They’re huge, so we split them between two people. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu items.

Amazing bakery, I tried the Creme brûlée cheesecakes and Ham and cheese pinwheel. Both were absolutely delicious. The cheesecake was cheesy and well-balanced flavors, while the pinwheel dough was soft and fluffy. Highly recommend trying this place.

Absolutely loved this place! The food is delicious everything is fresh and full of flavor. I had one of their pastries and a coffee, and both were amazing. What made the experience even better was the staff: super kind, welcoming, and attentive. You can feel they really care about their customers. A lovely spot with great vibes — I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Seattle!

With all the positive reviews. I don't understand what happened. The cake's ingredient list is packed with artificial additives, preservatives, and processed ingredients that make it far from wholesome. Some of the most concerning elements include: Partially Hydrogenated Oils (Soybean, Cottonseed, Palm Kernel Oil) – These are sources of trans fats, which are linked to heart disease. Artificial Strawberry Flavor Bits – Instead of real strawberries, this includes corn syrup, artificial flavors, and Red 40, a synthetic dye that has been associated with hyperactivity in children and potential health risks. Sodium Aluminum Phosphate – A controversial ingredient used in baking powders that may contribute to excessive aluminum intake. TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) – A chemical preservative linked to possible negative effects on health when consumed in high amounts. Artificial Flavors & Colorants (Red 40, Beta Carotene, Artificial Strawberry Flavor) – These mimic real food ingredients but are chemically derived, reducing the nutritional value of the product. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) – A highly processed sweetener that has been connected to metabolic disorders and increased risk of obesity. I was excited to try this treat, but after reading the ingredient list, I couldn’t be more disappointed. Instead of using real, natural ingredients, this product is loaded with artificial flavors, preservatives, and synthetic colorants. Why use "Artificial Strawberry Flavor Bits" when real fruit exists? Why pack it with Red 40, TBHQ, and hydrogenated oils when healthier alternatives are available? The amount of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and chemical emulsifiers is staggering. It feels like this was manufactured in a lab rather than a bakery. The overuse of aluminum-based leaveners and petroleum-derived additives makes this a product I would not recommend to anyone looking for quality food. If you care about what you put in your body, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a treat that actually contains real, natural ingredients. This is a science experiment masquerading as dessert, and I won’t be buying it again.

People were right, it’s a moist cake. It’s nice soft, and fluffy. It’s just really, really sweet. The cream that they use is similar to Cool Whip, and not actual cream which makes the cake a lot heavier when consumed. I think it’s a nice treat if eaten in moderation. I’d say give it a try, but with expectations. Service was friendly, and cake shop is vibrant and island themed.

Great custard pie! Definitely coming back, disappointed with the chai flavor was great but they basically gave me half a cup of a drink? I’m not sure if it may have been foam that went away or what, but instead of Starbucks I thought let me pop into this bakery to support small business. And to order a drink that was half fill was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, the pie was amazing.

I first tried their cake and cupcakes at my friend’s bridal party—and wow. Absolute flavor bomb. So, so good and incredibly moist! I seriously couldn’t get enough. Can’t wait for the next time we’re celebrating something in Seattle just so I have an excuse to buy more! ❤️❤️❤️

Ordered a 1/4 sheet of the guava cake for our wedding last weekend and everyone cannot stop raving about it. The flavor was amazing, not too sweet, and is a light, moist cake. All of my guests loved it!!!

Just as the name....it is Paradise. We bought guava cake and a slice if Chantilly cake. Both brings me back home to the islands. They are my Kilani Bakery of Washington State 🤙🏽🔥🙌🏽🥰

The guava cake, custard pie, and bacon (halal beef) maple bar were all great today! We've also really enjoyed the rainbow cake in the past.
