    Admittedly I am not a biscuit aficionado but I've enjoyed the biscuits here. Lots of complex flavors. I do think you need a good source of fluid, maybe with all biscuits, as they're a little dry. Location is great as you're right next to the new Waterfront park and the staff is friendly given how busy this can get in the summers.

    Butterhole Biscuit (asked for butter and jam on the side)
    Taylor R.

    What the heck! How does this place only have 3 1/2 stars? Pretty much verbatim I told my husband that it was the best biscuit I've ever had. I personally did not go inside so I can only speak for the quality of the food, but he ordered relatively quickly and we got our food maybe after waiting like, 10 minutes? Not long at all. For it being a Sunday morning at Pike Place Market, I thought we might have to wait longer, but we didn't. Sidenote, there is a ton of outdoor seating in the area and they have a brand new park section open--so even if the restaurant didn't have space, you could easily find a place to enjoy your biscuits. The biscuits themselves were huge and not thin, like usual biscuits. They are super flaky and fall apart easily --whatever recipe they use is absolutely divine and I want it. The biscuits are crispy on the outside, but very soft, almost underbaked, but not quite, on the inside. My husband had a bacon egg cheese and absolutely loved it, and I had a plain biscuit with whipped butter (easy to spread) and berry jam, requested on the side. To be honest, I thought these biscuits were much better than the local biscuit chain, BB. I'm just sorry it took years of living here before actually trying Honest Biscuits!

    Gluten free and regular biscuits so big that you only need one. I ordered the traditional bacon egg and cheese biscuit and all I needed was one. The warm softness of the biscuit with the slight crunch of the outside made for a filling breakfasts biscuit. I wish I would have ordered some jelly to go along with this biscuit, but I panicked and didn't fully review the entire menu. There's a nice outdoor seating area, weather permitting of course, if the inside is full.

    The biscuits are amazing and the jam, definitely get the jam. A cool spot right next to Old Stove Brewing at Pike Place Market. There are a few tables inside or you can head outside by the waterfront. As far as biscuits go, these are far better than the over-hyped ones at nearby Biscuit Bitch, in my opinion. Would have liked more butter on my biscuit but they come out really warm so it probably melted into it.

    Biscuits and Southern Style Gravy on a Butterhole Biscuit

    This was such a lovely breakfast treat on our trip. The chicken was well seasoned and huge. The biscuits had a great flavor. It fell apart midway eating so we needed a fork and knife to finish however they only had plastic so that was a challenge. It was a lot of food for the price so we were happy. Lovely to sit outside near the water too. The staff were friendly and offered good recommendations.

    WTF is this
    Beatrice W.

    I really hesitated on writing this review about my experience with this business. I thought after texting a couple of photos I would have at least the bare minimum gotten a call from the owner. It all fell flat and to the waste side of communication. My experience turned my stomach upside down. This is the reason I will never eat anything in the dark for the rest of my life. My Angel was protecting that day for sure. If I had not sliced my biscuit to toast I shudder to think what would have happened to me. The is clearly an example of gross negligence. Get it together if you want to stay in business.

    Butterhole Biscuit (GF) with Marionberry jam
    Stephanie L.

    Rating based on Gluten Free experience. Gluten free (GF) butterhole biscuit was good. Nice crust on the outside and soft interior. Top was a bit fluffier and bottom a bit more dense but still delicious. Ordered it with butter and marionberry jam -- yum! They were very knowledgeable and care about gluten allergies, even switching gloves and using separate prep area. Overall I had a great experience here. Indoor seating and a good view of the water.

    The MacGregor Biscuit.

    Ordered the MacGregor which has bacon, cheese, and onions. Got some raspberry jam too. 5/5 hands down.

    Egg Eggs and Cheese Sandwich
    Sarah J.

    Came here in a Saturday and it was pretty packed. Limited seating both indoors and outdoors. But you can go sit by the waterfront steps or umbrellas. Plenty of other seating a bit away from the restaurant. They have a QR code you can scan to order online which saves time from getting in line and ordering. I got the a jalapeño, pickled onion egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. Honestly, it was pretty good. I split it with a friend so it wasn't filling enough to eat half the sandwich. Will be back here to try a few other items.

    Ate breakfast here on a Sunday morning. Very nicely sized, hearty biscuits with friendly service. I *thought* I knew what I wanted until 2 seconds before we approached the register when I suddenly realized that the items listed on the menu as "biscuits" had the listed toppings baked INTO them (not on them) and the "sandwiches" were what I'd still just call a...biscuit. I ordered the fried chicken "sandwich" and my partner ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a Macgreggor biscuit, as well as the peach/raspberry drizzle dessert biscuits. We both asked for no mayo. WHY you'd put mayonnaise on a bacon, egg and cheese in the first place is absolutely beyond me tbh. I think the cashier must've misheard part of the order because my partner's biscuit came out with just egg & cheese, but were charged correctly for it, so we didn't bother ordering the bacon. I also got a peach tea mimosa which I loved. I enjoyed the chicken and the pickle on my "sandwich" but the biscuit itself wasn't that great me. They were just too bulky and also baked too hard for my liking. The inside of the biscuit was decent, but the outside was so tough and crumbly, it made the whole bite just dry. We spent around $50 for this meal and for me, the taste of the food just didn't match the price. Call me crazy, but in the spirit of being honest- if I'm craving a biscuit, I'd much rather eat one from CFA or a can of butter tastin' Grands.

    Came here through the Pike Place food tour and got to try some of their amazing biscuits! We had the Pike Place biscuit with Beecher cheese, which was absolutely delicious. We also got to watch them make the biscuits and load them into the oven. The place also smells spectacular!

    Vegan Sandwich (vegan cheese, meat, biscuit!)
    Crystal M.

    Love that they have vegan options! I've been wanting to try their biscuits for years and finally, I did! The vegan biscuit sandwich is very good. Love that they have vegan cheese & vegan 'meat'. However, I think my preference is the vegan biscuits and gravy. Gravy and biscuits were warm, savory, very flavorful. Good breakfast meal! Why only 4 stars? I think service is not great but not terrible. A little too pushy on the 'up sales'. Indoor and outdoor seating available Casual quick environment

    Mimosa
    Indiana L.

    We came here to have breakfast before our tourist day in Seattle and it was great. We tried Pike Place biscuit and southern style gravy on a butterhole biscuit and they were both delicious and very filling. I usually do not like things that have sausage in it but with the gravy, it tasted so good. We also had a mimosa because you can't go wrong with that. The service was great. We came early so the place was very quiet. If you're in the area, this is a must try.

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.

On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go.

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.
