    Black Sesame Chocolate Cake
    Jessica Z.

    The Bake Shop has been my go-to spot for birthday cakes over the past years. ESPECIALLY the black sesame buttercream chocolate cake. It is SO GOOD. I'm happy to say the Bake Shop stayed just as consistent, and the quality hasn't wavered despite the ownership change.

    Super kind staff and the black sesame chocolate cake is delicious! SO moist and dense, and the black sesame frosting was just right :)

    Veggie toast

    I added more recent pics and am still a fan of Bake Shop! They've been upping their game with some really tasty and creative cake flavors and other specials! Still a fan of the roasted veggie toast and the biscuit as well. Recent faves include the black sesame caramel & chocolate cake. So moist and a great black sesame flavor which adds the perfect "nuttiness". I also loved one of their recent passionfruit cakes that also had chocolate. My only minor complaint/suggestion: - I wish that their cakes and specials were not as limited -- it seems like they will make 1-2 cakes (max 20 slices?) and then they go really quickly. You can always call to see if they have something left, which is nice, but would be great if things were not so limited. - The line can be long and can take quite a long time and then the wait after you order can be a bit long too. I don't recommend coming here if you want to just grab and go in 5-10 minutes. I know it's a small team (and smaller space) and they are making things fresh, but it would be great if things were a tad quicker :)

    Italian Affogato. Limited time drink option
    Aaron B.

    Went here for a quick brunch. Delighted to find this affogato as a daily special drink. Service and ambiance was as great as usual. Such a blessing in the neighborhood to have a place like this in walking distance. Highly recommend quick coffee or small desserts.

    Stopped by with a friend one afternoon and we split a sandwich that was super flavorful, plus a cardamom butter horn - both were absolutely delicious! I honestly couldn't decide which I liked more. We each got a cider chai, which was perfect for the season. It was a bit crowded, so we grabbed a table outside, but I'd love to come back and sit inside next time- the space is so cute and airy. Everything is definitely on the pricier side, but totally worth it for the quality.

    Italian sandwich
    Shirley S.

    Stopped by this bake shop with a friend since we were in the area for a doctor's appointment. Glad we did! Their sandwiches are served on house-made "dough dough" bread, which is also available for purchase by the loaf. I'm usually not a fan of sourdough because of its tanginess, but this one was surprisingly mild--and I actually liked it! For lunch, we ordered the grilled cheese, roasted vegetable toast, and an Italian sandwich. The half grilled cheese was for my 5-year-old, but even that was a generous portion--definitely more than he could finish. My friend had the roasted vegetable toast; while I'm not the biggest fan of warm, soft veggies on toast, the bread itself really saved it. My favorite was the Italian sandwich--fresh veggies added the perfect crunch, and everything came together so well. For drinks, I tried the affogato with black sesame caramel syrup--a unique twist! The espresso was a bit too sour for my taste, but if you enjoy a brighter, more acidic coffee, you might love it. The space inside is spacious yet busy--it gets packed quickly, especially during peak hours. Seating is hit-or-miss since the line moves in waves, but there are a few outdoor tables if you don't mind sitting outside. Overall, a cozy and comfy spot for a weekend sourdough breakfast or a casual lunch. Would I come back? Definitely--for the bread alone!

    Blackberry & blueberry cornmeal cake + matcha latte (with black sesame)

    The interior is cute, and it's great for working as there's plenty of outlets. It has a low noise level, but ofc has that nice coffee shop vibe and sounds of the kitchen/coffee & staff. At 2pm on a Thursday, every other person was there with a laptop. The staff were friendly and quick (no line). And, they have a little neighborhood bookshelf right outside. I'd be glad to come back again.

    Black sesame caramel cake

    I came in on a cute Friday afternoon and this place was a bit busy but the vibe is super chill. The music was just LoFi-ish band music but I love the open area and the view straight into their kitchen. Now on to the food. The Black Sesame Salted Cake was LOVELY. I don't have a lot of cakes but I'd say it's the best cake I've had in the past year probably. Sponge was great and there was just the right amount of caramel. My friend got coffee and said it was good as well if that's what you want! Highly recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth.

    My favorite coffee shop in Seattle! They always have amazing seasonal drinks and the food is delicious - try the Italian sandwich and their chocolate chip cookie!! They also have happy hour :)

    Interior with glow of morning light

    Finally was able to stop by this great cafe my friend frequents it and I had been wanting to visit. I was in the area on a Sunday for a pop up near by and finally made it!! Staff is so helpful and friendly made me feel very welcome. There is outdoor and indoor seating. Great space for catching up with friends or hanging on your own. I went with the passionfruit soda and one of the specials of the day a Tomato toast which I believe a light spread of ricotta, with fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, drizzle of olive oil and sea salt. Was perfect to start the morning. Something about visiting an establishment that bakes everything in house that makes it truly special. Definitely will be back for coffee and another bite when I'm in the area

    Is there a view (west)? Or does one feel boxed in on all sides? Is it suitable for "hanging out" and reading a book, writing, etc.? How loud is it (music, conversations staff/customers)?

    There isn't a view westward, but there are a ton of large windows lining the entire front of the space which I believe faces east. It gets a lot of nice light throughout the day. Every time I've been in there have been people hanging out and… Read more

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

    I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

    I've been to Sea Wolf several times and have had a very inconsistent experience with the pastries;…read moreeven with the same item, I've had a fantastic version and one that left a lot to be desired. I will note that I haven't tried the breads, but as a non-morning individual, I do appreciate that they do tend to still have many items available even later in the afternoon (~1-3PM time frame). You will have to find street parking, but I've never had too much trouble in this neighborhood even on the weekend. Butter Croissant (3.75/5): I'll admit I'm insanely picky with my croissants and I think Sea Wolf's is just okay. I want a stronger crisp on the outside, something that almost shatters and makes a mess when you bite in, but the inside has a nice chew. Kouign Amann (3.75/5): I had a really fantastic time with this my first time picking it up, they have almost a crunchy sugar caramel crust on the outside with super buttery pastry inside. Unfortunately, my second time picking this up ended up being a miss, just stale and much to dry. Cinnamon Roll (1/5): The raisins are a nice touch, but this was awfully dry. Even the caramelized crus on the outside couldn't save this and charging extra for cream cheese frosting on top of a dry dough is criminal.
