Sad to say our experience at the bakery this time was not as great. We were left so sorely disappointed. Kudos for the staff being so gracious and going the extra mile to make it right. Tldr: Don't look to place a special order, just walk in and get whatever they have that day. No guarantee they'll have your order if you order ahead. We placed an order in July with the owner Lindsay via email. I called the week prior to pick up to confirm the order and was told that the orders are only posted for them a week in advance and they had no way of knowing if they got our order anyways. I figured she must have gotten the order as I distinctly remember sending it. When we arrived on Sunday morning to pick up our order, it did not exist. There was no order for us. So either they forgot our order or somehow they never received it. It was frustrating and disappointing as we had a 40+ person family reunion we had ordered for! Despite the owner not being there, the girls quickly jumped into action and we placed a modified order that was ready quickly. We added a few extra things not in the original order. The girls gave us a small discount for the inconvenience of not having our order even though it wasn't their fault. The Danishes were probably the best thing in the box and they were added in and not on the original order. The cinnamon roll was dense and dry, not as I remember. The brownies were about the same and still pretty good. Overall we were pretty disappointed and I can't say whether we will be back. read more

We got several items. The turnover and cookies were by far the best. I'm still thinking about the turnover. The bagel fell well short. People should really not call round bread with a hole a bagel. Just call it round bread. The brownie was better, but hid behind a TON of frosting. I'll still be back next time. read more

This place is an awesome little local place to get great coffee and great bakery items, lite food items, breakfast sandwiches, and bread. Super friendly staff and reasonable prices. Coffee is better than Starbucks and the baked items are divine! The ladies working acted like they were happy to have our business (unlike the Starbucks across the parking lot). There were 5 of us and all of us were having food-gasms the food was so delicious. We even purchased bread to go for later and treats for later. The almond croissant was amazing - the quiche delightful, the raspberry oat bar - YUM, the ham and cheese croissant delicious. Seriously, you cannot go wrong here. Support these sweet little bakery :) read more

It was alright. We went in for coffee and pastries after reading stellar reviews. There is a sign right in front of the register stating that "if you do not wear a mask we will assume you have a medical condition preventing you from doing so" which was off-putting in the midst of the pandemic. There was a lack of enforcement of social distancing and customers walking in the small shop with their masks below their chins. The gal who took our order barely paid mind and the cinnamon roll did not taste fresh or as amazing as other reviews described. The coffee was good but I'm not sure I would feel comfortable going back. read more

I absolutely love this bakery! Staff is friendly. Their bagel sandwiches, quiche, croissants...and literally every other item are delicious. Their breakfast sandwiches do sell out pretty quickly though. They also brew blue star coffee which I love! I always look forward to my trip here when I'm in town. read more

Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery - Sausage bagel sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Chelan, Washington

I hate writing negative reviews especially for smaller businesses, however this place did not live up to the previous reviews at all. I came in for coffee and couple breakfast items and most of the items were stale so I bought a bagel and was handed a dry bagel in a paper bag so I could go cut it myself and toast it. Was disappointed as I love to support local places read more

Stopped here on our way put of town for a quick breakfast, four us all ordered different things. Chocolate crossiant, coconut turnover, almond bear claw, turkey/avocado sandwhich, cheddar jalepeno bagel & cream cheese, and rosemary sourdough bread to take home....wonderful!! Little bistro tables out front as well. They have a variety of things, breakfast sandwiches, 3 different cold sandwiches, pastries, cookies....everything we got was really good. We ate the sourdough with dinner that night and it was amazing. read more

I love the food here! So amazing, the bakers and cashiers were all so nice! The pictures on the wall really complete the neutral bakery look. read more

We have stopped here a few years now. This last trip recently we made 3 stops here for coffee/pastries. The coffee is the best we have found in Chelan as well as the treats! The service was very friendly too. This is a must stop, there are breakfast and lunch items and definitely something for everyone. read more

Stopped off on a whim, and it turned out to be the best decision. Everything from the drip coffee to the homemade bagels and tortillas to pastries were fantastic. We even took a bunch of stuff to go. Definitely hitting this place up on the way out of town. read more

Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery - Cherry Almond Tart - Bakeries Near Me - Chelan, Washington

Very hard to find any kind of good pastries in the area so we went with this "artisan" bakery. Although the staff was friendly (which is worth the three stars I'm giving it) and accommodating, the pastries were sub par. After ordering a savory pastry we were told to "heat up" our pastry in a microwave. The pastry was pizza dough like in flavor and due to the only source of warming up the pastry being that of a microwave, it was soggy. Starbucks is right next door. Need a pastry, I suggest going there. read more

Great coffees and huge selection of fresh pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Rotating scones and the best cinnamon rolls in town (both regular and maple). Family friendly. There are a few tables inside if you want to sit indoors. read more

I am never disappointed when I get food or treats here! I even try new flavors or flavors I've previously not liked and have never not liked something. The other day I really wanted a scone and they only had apricot mango ones, I have never really liked apricot, but they were amazing! Truly a gem in Chelan and somewhere, as a local, I'm proud to point people towards. read more

The pastries here are amazing and the coffee was good as well. The breakfast burrito wasn't bad, but it was nothing special either. Highly suggest the blueberry danish! read more

Starfleet requires that every mission log specify the single best item of food consumed by the captain while on the planet's surface. In the case of this mission, that distinction goes to the lemon poppyseed scone at the Chelan Artisan Bakery. Surprising, right? I mean, I'm not even much of a scone person -- or much of a poppyseed person. (I am much of a lemon person, however. The ship's doctor tells me it's because one of my ancestors grafted some citrus DNA into our bloodline.) But that's how good this scone was. And not just "good for this solar system": I mean actual, galaxy-class good. Flavorful, neither dry nor heavy, with a nice crunchy outer layer and a tender inside. The rest of our goodies were not quite as mind-blowing, thought still excellent. The granola bar was as good as the owner assured me it would be. The croissants were solid hits. The coffee cake was scrumptious, as they say on Malcor III. The outer crust and the nectarines on the nectarine danish were amazeballs (that's an Earth expression), even if the custardy goo was a bit thick. The rotating goods at this bakery mean that you can't be sure what your options will be on the day you walk in, which I know some species would find unbearably stressful. If you are among the more flexible and adventurous space-faring civilizations, however, you will embrace the possibility that you will arrive on a day when something delicious has just come out of the oven -- like a lemon poppyseed scone. read more

Psssssst, hey... all you waiting patiently in the long drive-thru line at Starbucks, peel yourself away from the pre-packaged sandwich or pastry you are waiting for there and go a bit farther down the road to this gem. Burritos and breakfast sandwiches, espresso and delicious fresh pastries await you. read more

Very delicious breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The burritos are on homemade tortillas. Delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful.

Best breakfast option. Delicious pastries, coffee is the best in town. Try the breakfast sandwiches for a road-trip breakfast.

Three stars because the food was good. Definitely way too overpriced. If you don't mind paying way more than you should for some pastries come to this spot. read more

Stopped here for coffee and food before we left town. Coffee was excellent, picked up some to take home. Their croissants were very good, both sweet and savory types we got. Cinnamon roll was delicious as well. Got a loaf of french bread to take home, a little chewier than my personal preference would like, but wonderful flavor and made excellent grilled cheeses and toasts up quite well. Will definitely stop by next time we are in town. read more

Lake Chelan Bakery is a good family run business in Lake Chelan. The breads are good but I wish they were packaged in plastic because I like my break to have a crusty edge with a crunch and the breads here don't have that. They coffee is good and I will often come here just for coffee and to work on my laptop as they have strong WiFi and plenty of tables and chairs. The baked goods are okay but my grandma's are better. I feel like most of the pastries are missing some salt, especially the sticky buns and cinnamon rolls. They fall sort of flat. The cookies are good but for $2 I could make a whole batch just as good on my own. read more

Great service. Great coffee. Great baked goods, breakfast burritos, sandwiches, etc. New owner is a super nice person and staff is good with kids. Locally sourced grains, blueberries and other ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

Came in before we left town and got ham and cheese croissants, an apple danish and cream cheese danish. All so good! We also got a latte and an americano - very smooth. We'll be coming back next year! read more

This was our first time to this bakery. We were excited to eat something organic in Chelan. At first glance the food seemed like it would fit the bill. My ham and cheese croissant was pretty good. My gf/activity buddy enjoyed her cherry turnover. Things fell apart in regards to service. It was snippy, curt, and full of references to the mythical, but real, back wall. I was hoping to see a re invigorated Jon Snow at this wall, alas all we found was self serve everything. read more

Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery - Dry with no raspberry to speak of. - Bakeries Near Me - Chelan, Washington

One of the best tres leches cake we have ever had! We went for a vacation from seattle to lake chela m for my wife's birthday. I surprised her by ordering a cake from here looking at yelp reviews! We were amazed how the cake turned out be. It was awesome. We might end up going there just for the cake. ( FYI, my wife is super fond of tres leches cake) read more

A really great place for baked goods. The cinnamon roll bread pudding is delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

What a wonderful bakery and great service! We will come here every time we visit loved everything

I live locally and unfortunately this is just one more business that caters to the tourist they run out of everything before 11 am the food is good but I gave up during the summer months and winter there hardly ever open read more

Small little bakery without much ambience on the inside. Service was ok - neither too brusk or friendly. Ordered the cinnamon roll which was delicious but I had to heat it up myself (I thought that was slightly odd). Coffee was good. Overall average experience, nothing that I would make a special stop for. read more

It was ok. We stopped in at around 11a looking for something to eat before wine tasting. I ordered the only sandwich of its kind in the window, which had avocado from the day before.... but whatever, I was really hungry and didn't know the area and people who worked there. After they take my Sandwich out and "cook it", The customer behind me walks in and wants the same sandwich but none are there, so they offered to make it fresh!! WTF!? Damned if I ask (spit) damned if I don't. Not great service and their treats were dry. Won't be going back. read more

Almond bear claws!!! A staple of ours in town, great staff and great food!

Great little place. Amazing breads and desserts, super friendly people. Small place, so I recommend taking your food across the street to lunch/breakfast in view of the gorgeous lake. read more

Wow, haven't had such good pastries since my childhood. This little place is awesome and authentic, great service and coffee too. Highly recommended. read more

We have a new favorite spot in Chelan! The pastries were all so good... we had one of each. Also I had one of the best iced dirty chai I have ever had. We did not know what to expect when we walked inside... but man were we surprised! read more

Great to see a new local bakery in Chelan. I've been craving one since the departure of the Judy & Jane Bakery several years ago. The Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery hasn't reached Judy & Jane level yet, but it's solid. During my week at the lake, I think I tried almost everything in the bakery case. I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls, especially if you catch them early when they're coming out of the oven. One of the major advantages of this place is that its lines are (much) shorter than the Starbucks a half-block away. That's probably due to it being new and somewhat hidden in the Chelan Plaza strip mall. Whatever the reason, I'll take it. Two minor criticisms: (1) it's expensive, more expensive than SBUX, in fact; (2) for a seasonal market like Chelan, it is absolutely insane to be closed on Tuesdays--you'll have time to rest during the nine months when no one is around. read more

A quality local business! The broad selection of pastries from croissants to carrot cake. The espresso was great. Visited twice and friendly staff. Fresh daily breads are excellent! read more

Take the time to eat at this little gem. Small location, displays are simple and highlight the pastries. Bear paw was buttery, flaky and just a touch of sweetness. The lemon bar was fresh, buttery and decadent. This bakery has made us return customers for sure! read more

Staff was unfriendly. When I ordered an espresso and she rudely stated I had to put my own cream in it and didn't even tell me where it was. I then had to ask and she was ignoring me while grabbing pastries. The pastries were okay but not amazing. Couldn't believe how rude she was. read more

The place is great but a little pricey when you have a large family. Everything is freshly baked and the coffee is yummy! I would recommend the bear claw and the ham and cheese croissant, delish! read more

Nice little bakery to get some treats. They had an apple scone which was incredible and a raspberry bar that was really good. Friendly staff will come back to get more when I visit. read more
