    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
    Torrie N.

    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.

    Loved the place and the food. Will definitely be back!! They have unique coffee options.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    We came here for a little cafe workday and it was quite nice! I wish there was more seating though since it was quite cramped and hard to find a spot, and the wifi wasn't working so just some small things. I did like the different menu options so we ended up getting a decaf affogato - which was very yummy and had well developed flavors, and a latte which was a classic tasty option. We finished with the cinnamon roll which SO delicious, had such nice lemony flavors in it which was cool so I really enjoyed that. The staff were also really nice!!

    Food - The ginger currant scone was so good. The light ginger flavor was wonderful. Ambiance - Clean and bright Service - I was looking for a focaccia and the lady helped me out - by telling me it wasn't available because they were training staff.

    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)?

    Even though I'm a Seattle native and have lived here my whole life, I had somehow never been here…read morebefore! I stopped by over the weekend and tried the almond croissant and an iced vanilla latte. I was honestly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was, especially considering it's in such a tourist-heavy area. For comparison, the coffee shop upstairs (storyville) had lattes for around $8.50, while here we got two coffees AND two pastries for about $24 total. For the quality, I thought that was a really good value. I order vanilla lattes everywhere I go, and this one was fantastic. The space itself is also pretty large -- we were able to find seating easily even on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Seattle. It was very crowded, but still found a spot and the long line went by quickly. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're visiting Seattle!

When asking for the most popular item, the friendly employee said the almondine (almond croissant) would be the must-try. I have to say- it was a great croissant, but not the best I've ever had. However, I did think the pricing was very reasonable here. There is a small selection of indoor seating, and of course, they have a full coffee menu to enjoy, too. The vibe felt somewhat formal and not the cozy local bakery vibe I enjoyed at other spots in Seattle. The hardest part about visiting Pike Place is that there is so much to choose from and so much competition. Are there better bakeries? Probably. Is Le Panier great and easily accessible on the main strip of Pike Place? Yes. That fact makes it a great choice for your pastry needs.

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!

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.

The barista was nice enough to remake the drink, but that's probably one area of improvement. Overall, this is a great little spot and I look forward to coming back again.

The breakfast sandwiches available after 0700 are savor-y and packed with flavor. I see issues with customer service and I get it. Sometimes, the person taking my order isn't very thrilled. The other day, when I asked to confirm a particular drink was mine (as the drink was prepared for to-go instead of here), I received a judgemental stare. But I come here often and have learned how busy they get. I get exhausted just watching them! and I am so grateful this cafe is here. As someone coming from another cafe-focused city, this was the first place that really made me feel like I was home. Stellar food, beverages, and ambience. Only other complaint is lack of outlets for charging.

I ordered a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and loved how perfectly the chocolate was incorporated into my drink! It tasted sweet and the coffee added the robust flavour I love in my mochas My boyfriend had never tried a Moroccan Fog before and he loved how sweet it was without him having to add sugar. He especially loved that it had just the right amount of mint flavoring without being toothpaste For breakfast, I ordered their fruit danish! I love that they had different options of fruit to pick from and I chose blueberry! The pastry was perfectly flaky and I loved how fresh the blueberry tasted. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate croissant because he was excited at the idea of the chocolate being piped through the croissant and also drizzled over the top, but it turns out the dark brown parts on top are just design and not more chocolate. Still, he was pleased with the amount of chocolate in the croissant and the bite I had was heavenly. The champagne cake caught my eye as I was ordering and I just had to try a bite, it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved how light the cake was and the layers of flavour through the whole dessert! I love how bright and airy the cafe is! My boyfriend and I were easily able to find seating by the windows and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the space needle and people watching as we shared breakfast. The staff here was also patient and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back and try more of their pastries!!

    Finally made it out to Saint Bread and I loved it! Arrived around 9am on a Friday morning and…read morewaited ~30 min in line. All the pastries except for the regular butter croissant were available, and we were able to place an order for the kimchi focaccia and sakura swiss roll, which were slated to come out around 10am. Service was super friendly! I got the hojicha latte, the okonomiyaki frittata, black sesame cookie, kimchi focaccia, and sakura swiss roll. The hojicha latte was rich and earthy in the best way, and it went really well with the black sesame cookie, which had a great strong sesame flavor, and the texture was perfectly chewy! The focaccia was pillowy and chewy at the same - I could've eaten five of these on their own. The frittata was my least favorite item, but by no means am I saying that it's bad! I thought the sauces overpowered it a bit, and the frittata itself was a bit bland - I couldn't even tell it had sweet potato in it, but it was cooked really well. There was ample seating in the heated patio, but parking was a little confusing, though we got lucky with the small lot right next to the store. There were a lot of signs that said no parking along the street in front, but it seemed like a lot of cars were parked there?

    Cute little shop. Arrived a little after 10am on a Saturday and the line took us about 30 minutes…read moreto get through. Once ordered, the drinks came out pretty fast and so did my sandwich. I don't know if they rotate their pastries or if they just sold out of everything but only items on display case were the chocolate cookie, sesame cookie, the sakura chiffon roll, savory focaccia, apple cake and maybe one other item. I really was looking forward to trying a cardamom croissant or bun but they didn't have either available. My iced latte was alright. Nothing to go crazy over. The cherry foam for an additional $2.00 was very pretty but that's where it stopped at. Absolutely no cherry or sakura flavor. Disappointed. The sesame cookie had a great smell to it. The aroma of sesame was strong. The cookie had a nice crisp to the edge and a chewy center. The sesame taste wasn't as strong as the smell. The spicy chicken sandwich on special was not spicy at all. It was overwhelmingly sweet from the orange glaze/sauce on the kitchen. It was a decent sandwich and I definitely finished it. Just not something I would gravitate back to. I understand the reviews about how this place doesn't live up to some extra hype. It's decent, solid and a great option for the area but to go out of your way for and wait thirty minutes in line? Not really.
