We walked in at just the right time because we got the last of multiple items. The couple in front of us gave us pointers and we proceeded to order half of the case. I was not disappointed by one thing that was tasted. Basque cheesecake. Queen Amon? Cardamom roll!!! I mean yall it was ridiculous. It's perfectly tiny and homey and the service was with a smile. I can't wait to take my bestie here when she visits next week! Maybe I'll remember to take a picture before I devour everything this time. read more

A must stop on the island. Delicious bread and pastries to-go. Their specialty ~ sourdough. Grains grown and killed from the island. Cardamom Roll recommended. Not sure why there is a tip option for just counter ordering. Weather permitting, tables outside for a sit down sip with the pup. Cute spot in Coupeville. read more

ok i need everyone to hear me when i say this might be my favorite bakery in all of washington state. we got the cardamom roll, a ginger peach hand pie, and a sourdough boule and every single thing was perfection. like not "pretty good" perfection, actual real TRUE perfection. the sourdough especially. MOVE OVER ALL OTHER SOURDOUGH. i'm serious. it was moist and flavorful and had that perfect crust and that perfect chew and it was SO reasonably priced i actually did a double take. i've paid more for worse sourdough in seattle more times than i can count. the pastries?? oh my god the pastries. the cardamom roll was warm and fragrant and the hand pie was exactly the kind of thing you want to eat on a cozy island morning. i'm emotional about it. the staff were so sweet too, the whole place just has this wonderful warmth to it. if you're on whidbey and you skip red hen you are making a deeply unfortunate choice. go treat yourself!!! read more

A very small bakery with a lot of delicious baked goods! Friendly service too. After perusing the offerings I decided to go savory with ham and cheese croissant. So flaky! Warmed up upon request. Absolutely scrumptious served warm and extremely flaky. Just enough cheesy goodness. I'm sure the ambience of this spot is something but currently the patio is under construction. So, I look forward to visiting when that is done. Yummy cookies too. Left with a sourdough chocolate chip cookie and an oatmeal spice and raisin one. So good!!! Can't wait to go back. SYOY! read more

Little red hen is a cute local bakery in Whidbey where we stopped for breakfast on our way to deception pass. It was a small store where you could see them rolling the pastries in house! There was a good amount of outdoor seating but it was a little too windy when we went. I love that they had a ton of savory options in addition to the sweet ones since you don't always find those. All of the pastries looked so good we had a tough time deciding what to get. We asked for recommendations on one sweet and one savory and ended up trying the curry chicken hand pie and the marionberry danish (since it's a local berry). The curry chicken filling was well flavored and the danish was delicious. Both were solid recommendations and we loved the flakiness of the pastries so we got a cardamom pastry to go as well! We tried that one the next day so it wasn't as fresh but I liked the balance between the cardamom and the sweetness of the slightly caramelised base! read more

A quality, quaint bakery with a fun selection! We tried the: 1. Cardamom roll: a strong cardamom flavor and my favorite of the bunch. Would probably pair nicely with some orange jam. 2. Ham and cheese croissant: tasty and what you'd hope for in a croissant with many beautiful, flaky layers. 3. Chocolate chip cookie: a solid and satisfying cookie, no complaints here. 4. Cheese-it: tasted like a white cheddar cheese-it with a tad bit of spice! 5. The Queen Amann special: the apricot jam on this was SO good! I thought all of the pastries had a similar, bread-like taste to them. That being said, I bet they make wonderful bread and would love to try that another time! read more

I've been here twice - once in July 2024 and once just yesterday. It is SO GOOD. I am notorious for having high standards for baked goods, and my sister was a pâtissière for five years. So, anyway, my compatriot ordered a chocolate orange pastry in 2024 and I was like, mm, ok, but I ended up snarfling up that whole thing because it was so, so good. Yesterday, my compatriot ordered a cardamom bun and I was similarly like, mm, okay. But this thing is the best pastry I've eaten in months, possibly years. Delicious. Absolutely stunning. It was still warm from the oven. I'm not even a cardamom fiend and it was phenomenal. Thanks Little Red Hen - you're now my favorite bakery on the west coast. The person serving us was very nice and the ambiance was quaint. There's some construction going on out front at the moment. They also have a queer pride flag which was nice to see. read more

A must-stop if you're in Coupeville!!! It's a little shop, and everything is made fresh in-house. There might be a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but the line moves pretty quickly and it's totally worth it. This is more of a grab-and-go kind of spot, but there are a few seats and self-serve iced water outside. Their rosemary scone is probably the best one I've ever had. Not too sweet, and super flavorful. Don't miss this place! read more

A cool crisp Saturday morning and we were out for a drive on Whitney island. Stopping in Coupeville to wander around and we stumbled going Little Red Hen. While we initially were interested in coffee, we walked in to an active bakery with a small display counter. And everything looked and smelled amazing. So what did we do...sample several products of course. Cardamom roll, savory danish (smoked salmon, cream cheese, on an everything layered crust) and an apple streusel scone. Simple perfect. The cardamom roll was a cross between a kouign aman and a cinnamon roll - so good. The savory danish version of an everything bagel was well done. And the scone - exactly what a scone should be Just off the main street this is a must visit if in Coupeville. read more

We stopped here to pick up a small breakfast before going for a walk at the Price Sculpture Forest. We got there just a few minutes before open on a Saturday, and a line-up quickly formed behind us. I ended up with a Ham & Cheese Croissant, and it was frankly one of the best ones I've ever had. It was re-warmed, but still incredible flaky. A quality bakery that I would go back to. Note: it's takeout only, with outdoor tables if you want to stick around to eat. read more

We are on a girls trip and so a couple of us went here this morning and ordered pretty much one of everything to take back to the house. Everyone raved about all the amazing breakfast items, both the savory and the sweet. Don't miss it! read more

We were just passing through town and saw a crowd gathering here so stopped in to grab a quick bite. They only had outdoor seating but thankfully was a beautiful day. Dog friendly patio but for food safety leave furry friends outside. Walking inside I was initially thrown off because you essentially step right into the kitchen where the team was busy at work kneading and prepping the dough. Only later did I notice the counter tucked into the far right. All that said, the bread and pastries are truly made right there and extremely fresh. Highly recommend the walnut loaf! read more

The place is small and you get to watch the employees baking. The person at the register was very nice and able to answer questions, even regarding other businesses in the area. We bought 3 cookies to enjoy on the ferry ride home. They were crunchy and rich. We all enjoyed our cookies and would visit again if in the area. read more

Yes to cardamom bun. It is magic, the lamination top notch, the sweetness understated - especially right out of the oven. Oh, there is other deliciousness. We will be back to take survey in the near future read more

After grabbing a cup of coffee down the street, I stopped by Little Red Hen Bakery for a pastry. It's a small shop and I wish I tried the bread. I got a Cardamom Roll. It was sweet and good. A little on the harder side as far as texture. Cute spot to sit outside and look towards the water. read more

This was a cute bakery very close to the Coupeville waterfront, so we decided to stop for a couple of pastries. We decided on the lemon poppyseed tea cake and the cardamom roll. I thought that the lemon poppyseed cake was packed with lemon flavor, but the cardamom was lacking from the cardamom roll. They had some other items that looked very good, so I would gladly return to try those. read more

Their Kouign Amann was better than most bakeries. However, I prefer my KA not to be baked that crisp/dark. The best thing was the cardamom roll. So good. read more

A tiny cute bakery where they prepare the breads and croissants right in front of you. No espresso drinks, but an extensive variety of baked goods. All their seating is outdoors with a view of the water in the distance. Friendly service. We ordered: 1. Bacon cheddar scallion scone 2. Chocolate croissant 3. Orange chocolate croissant 4. Almond croissant 5. Rosemary olive boule The scone was moist and the croissants were flaky goodness...but nothing was extraordinary. 3.5 stars read more

Quaint little seaside bakery decked up for the holidays. You can see the bakers working upfront , measuring out the yeast and stacking fresh loaves of bread. Front desk was friendly and local. Food was buttery, rich & flakey. Loot check: 1. Apple pie- big portions; with hints of cinnamon & holidays. 2. Cheese danish- with raspberry jam crusted by candied pastry & studded with large sugar crystals. 3. Beef hand pie- Warming up my heart through that brown paper bag even now. Yum! Heat it up and it'll be the only things you'll need on a cold winters day! read more

Good: what's not to love about hot and fresh baked goods? Stopped by yesterday to pick up some pastries for breakfast, so glad we did! We ordered the beef and potato hand pie and vegetarian quiche. Really loved that buttery flaky beef and potato hand pie. Quiche was decent too. Service: Fast and efficient with great attitudes! I love how warm and inviting everyone was. Ambiance: Warm, clean and homey vibes! Especially with the holiday season. read more

This review is for the recent experience here at the arts and crafts fair. Note this is just a few hours into the festival on Saturday. We had a table waiting later at Toby's but saw the line at LRH and decided to try it finally instead of going to a sit down lunch that might be a while till they called us. For the last couple years I've been hoping to try their beef pies as I'm a savory baked goods fan. The wife of course loves a good croissant or sweets and misses this from Paris. So we queued up and waited, waited, etc and two staff members were handling(or trying to) the counter out front and did not have much other help outside. The building was closed to customers during this busy time. So one was upbeat and trying the best she could. The other was fending off other requests by people in line and only serving beignets. When we ordered this role changed because the nice gal was swamped so the other took our order. It's just after noon but they were out of the beer pies.... There goes my lunch plans. So instead of trying a curried chicken and a beef pie to share we just ordered a pie and a croissant and waited.... Well they had orders and names confused but we everyday got our turn to find out they were out of croissants! So now she orders this smoked salmon danish. So we leave with a lame little lunch and the curried chicken pie was pretty good but not what I've been hoping to get since I learned of this business. They were trying to get a new location open and always either closed or horribly busy when we go to Coupeville. The smoked salmon danish was like a laminated sheet of puffy cardboard all dried out and chewy with some cream cheese and a lox slice in the middle. The everything bagel seasoning was the best thing about it. I would highly recommend people stay away from this chewy dry jaw exercise! Overall it was interesting to finally try this place but haven't still tried what we want to there. The staff members there were not very supported and one of them not very friendly or helpful. I wish Jupiter coffee would start making savory baked goods! read more

Super tasty goodies! We came here on a Saturday morning. There was a fast moving line and very friendly, patient staff as we deliberated on what we were going to get. We were really there for their fantastic molasses oat bread ($9), which they were sadly sold out of that morning. (We were able to buy the last loaf at 3 Sisters Market). However, the other things we got more than made up for it. I love the curried chicken almond and currant meat pie ($10), although the pastry was a little thick, it was buttery and flaky. The cardamom roll ($5.75) was incredibly delicious. The smoked salmon and cream cheese danish ($10) was very filling but not too heavy, and the salmon portion was reasonable. The chocolate croissant ($6.75) was also appropriately chocolate-y and flaky and not too sweet. There was easy parking and lots seating outside. read more

I didn't expect this establishment to be very small and cramped. Totally different from a typical bakery. No place to sit nor space for people to wait! Once inside, you'll notice the bakers are off to the left side kneading dough and to the right is a small display of baked goods they offer for sale. I purchased 4 baked items and it cost me $36+ including tax and tips--a bit too pricey, in my opinion. Service was good and quick though. read more

They have a pastry called a Cheez-It. It's incredible and tastes just like a Cheez-It. Don't sleep on their lemon poppyseed cake or their scones, either. Very friendly staff as well. read more

Delicious baked goods! I had a ham and cheese croissant which was excellent, especially warmed up. We got through the line and ordered with no issue, and the cashier was super helpful. My only note would be to ask that employees are slightly more cognizant of their topic choice when people are eating right next to the window - it was not a huge deal, but the necrophilia chat put us off of our eating just slightly. read more

We always stop here when we vacation this way. Great little bakery with some really unique flavors! Keep up the great work!!! read more

The whole point of our weekend trip culminated in our visit to the Little Red Hen Bakery, as my wife wanted to see Coupeville, and this particular shop specifically, for its connection to one of her favorite movies, Practical Magic. We walked up not long after their opening at 9:00am, and endured a short, rapidly moving line, standing in the drizzle, until it was our turn to order. My wife had the ham and cheese croissant, while I had the Romesco, kimchi, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, with added hot peppers, tomato and hot sauce. Our order placed, we stood aside for a couple minutes, and our order was brought and handed to us shortly. Dude. My sandwich was perfect! Spicy and earthy, and a pretty darn good size; it filled me up for most of the morning, and it was everything I wanted in a breakfast sandwich, particularly to help take the edge off of a modest hangover! My wife similarly loved and raved about her ham and cheese croissant, walking away similarly happy and content! Sure, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are long gone, likely never to return again to Coupeville, and their little apothecary shop has become something entirely different, but the Little Red Hen Bakery is practically magic in its own little way. It certainly cast a spell over us, because we *will* be back! read more

This bakery has wonderful pastries, both sweet and savory, but we especially love their breads, some (maybe all) made with grains grown locally, just a few miles away. This time we got barley walnut bread, so good! Not to be missed. read more

Such a cute - and delicious! - bakery by the sea! I tried the cardamom roll and it did not disappoint! I grew up enjoying German baked goods that included cardamom so it was a familiar, memory-laden flavor. I loved seeing the bakers making more of their fresh wares while I waited. Note that they don't serve espresso or have indoor seating, but that's a small price to pay for amazing pastries!! read more

Surprisingly nice bakery. The sourdough loaf is quite good. The cinnamon roll and molasses cookies were hits with the most discriminating critics in the family. The cardamom roll was disappointingly flavorless. Perhaps I have a higher tolerance for cardamom than most people. The staff were friendly. I will come again. I might avoid the cardamom roll and give that Kouign-amann a try next time. read more

Amazing bakery! Stopped by on a visit to Coupeville and was so happy I did! The line out front was a pretty good indicator that I came to the right place! Stuff tried: Hashbrowns stuffed with cream cheese and chives. Whoa this was awesome! You can also get without stuffing but the cream cheese and chives worked perfectly! Cardamon bun: this was excellent as well! So much cardamom flavor and the texture was perfect! Ive had this recently at another bakery in Seattle but this was a lot better! Menu is ever changing so its best to just come by to see whats available for the day. I should have ordered more but I already ordered lunch elsewhere in town! Person working the register so helpful in navigating all the yummy options. With indoor dining still banned, there are steps that take you right to the water for a nice scenic snack! Maybe you will see a whale or a hungry seal or two. Must visit when in Coupeville! read more

Great bakery in Coupeville, grab a pastry and stroll this quaint town. Maybe you'll get lucky and see a pod of orcas!

From the words of my local friend: "this is the best bakery on the island." I agree, but I wouldn't say this is the best local bakery I've had compared to other locations around the world. Apparently there are only two bakeries on this island! I definitely think there's room to increase the supply for the bakery lovers' demand! The baker itself is tiny--not ideal for large groups that might be visiting, but a lot of folks took grub to go. The best spot is definitely the window view of the water right by the water station. Right when you walk in, the display case of baked goods look delicious. They have solid items like chocolate croissant, cookies, bread and the like. I had their chocolate chip cookie to go and the plain croissant in house. The croissant texture was perfect. When you ripped it open, you could see the little flakes of grain that went into making it. I'd suggest maybe having personnel wear hairnets though. They have serve-yourself water and other cafe drinks to purchase. Service was so friendly and very kind. However, the overall experience was a 3.5 stars. I think if there were other bakeries on the island, this one would be above average...but not stellar. There weren't any memorable items, rather it serves as a consistent shop for locals to purchase their loaves of bread and treat themselves to a cinnamon roll. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this bakery. It's not like Purebread in Vancouver or b.Patisserie in San Francisco...but that's because they're definitely a smaller work force with less demand and a smaller population of Whidbey folks to serve. read more

The store is closed off and the cashier is set up right in front of the door for to-go orders. The staff weren't wearing masks but to be fair, it was during the peak of the heat dome and it looked like they only had a couple fans to keep cool. The staff were super nice despite the heat. There wasn't a seating area available with shade so most people took their food down the nearby stairs and ate on the beach. We were really lucky and grabbed an empty bench and table in the shade by the stairs. We got the kouign amann, a BLT, and a tuna sandwich. The pastry was perfectly flaky and light, and there was some jam in the center to provide a nice texture and flavor contrast. Some purists might take issue with that not being a true kouign amann, but it was tasty! The BLT had a ton of bacon. We were trying to go for a light meal after packing on the Pandemic 19 so this was unexpected. But as bacon lovers, it was still appreciated. The tuna sandwich was light on the mayo, yummy, and felt like one of the healthier options on the menu. read more
