    When I lived in Seattle this was my go to bakery, and now that I have moved across the country I miss it so much! Petit Pierre's croissants are the best I have had the US so far, and rival the croissants I have had in France. They are the perfect amount of flaky and buttery without being greasy and falling apart. Their seasonal croissants are always excellent as well (Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner croissants!!!) and the rotating flavors for croissant supremes and cruffins are usually unique and always delicious. I highly recommend the Bacon, egg, and cheese croissant for breakfast! The cinnamon rolls are great too. I have also gotten a birthday cake and epiphany cakes here and they were top notch as well. Thank you for all the amazing treats!! My pro tip is to visit the Magnolia location and get pastries to go, then drive 5min to Ella Bailey park for a beautiful view of the city and Mt. Rainier (if it's a clear day!)!!

    I've visited the Petit Pierre on Phinney Ridge multiple times, but never this one in Magnolia until recently. This one's a much smaller bakery that's takeout only, with no seating inside and what seems to be a smaller selection of treats. There are some tables and benches outside for people who prefer to eat their pastries on the spot. We originally visited to pick up a TGTG bag but after stopping in and seeing all the delicious pastries in the window, we also decided to purchase one additional freshly baked pastry that looked too good to pass up. Pistachio Cassis Brioche ($6.75) - Great flakiness and lamination, filled with pistachio paste and black current curd, then dipped in chocolate and topped with crushed pistachio. It's sweet from all the sugar, tangy from the jam, and nutty from the pistachio, and yet some of the rich buttery notes from the dough still comes through. They call this a brioche, so it's probably brioche dough laminated with additional butter. Other than being a little darker in color, I can't really tell any difference between this and normal laminated croissant dough. Perhaps really the only way to tell is to have a plain pastry of each side by side - the addition of fillings and toppings really diminishes the difference in my opinion. (5/5) As with Phinney Ridge, the pastries the Magnolia location serves are excellent. This is a must visit any time I'm in the area. Bathrooms: No available bathrooms from what I can tell.

    I was in the area running an errand and decided to pop into this bakery for funzies. Its been on my list for quite some time and boy am I glad I finally checked the place out. Very decadent pastries with a lot of flavor. Ranges of richness to their baked goods. I tried their Pistachio Dubai chocolate rolled croissant, their pistachio chocolate standard croissant, 2 kouign Amann, and lemon berry Danish. All very delightful except their kouign Amann. The ones I had were extremely salty. Not sure if it was intended to be that way considering I had two. Probably won't risk a third attempt. That's just me though. My favorite item was their pistachio Dubai chocolate rolled croissant. Wasn't too monotonous, but again I had coffee which was acting as a palate cleanser. I'm hoping to try their bread pudding the next time since I love bread pudding. Another thing to note. The items are pricey, so I'll use it as an excuse to treat myself to something good every once in awhile if I'm in the area. Not an everyday affair for me.

    Really great pastries! A cute setup inside with all the pastries lined up just waiting for you to snag em. customer service was friendly and open to explaining what was available and any questions that I had. Dubai chocolate petit supreme: wow this was my first circular croissant and this was so tasty! The pistachio flavor was outstanding and the textures were great. The chocolate was good quality and overall a tasty treat that wasn't too too sweet Pistachio chocolate croissant: one of my favorite croissants now! Flavor, delicious. Layers, YAS. Really good, give this one a try

    this is my new favorite bakery in seattle. In particular the cardamon honey role was phenomenal. it was caramelized on the edges with honey and the aftertaste was the perfect amount of spice. The dough itself was soft and spongy as well. All the pastries looked phenomenal but im glad we got that one. The coffee was pretty great as well. Not only that but I brought my own mug and they were able to fill it and even give a discount for bringing it. they were super friendly and fast. Being right in front of the farmers market was the perfect spot to grab a bite while you walk around.

    2.5 I think quality would be different had these been consumed immediately and not within a few hours. Tried a variety of things and they weren't bad but they didn't blow me away. The best pastry was the croissant supreme- held up well, super crispy croissant and amazing fresh blueberry jam. Dubai cruffin was lackluster, almond croissant was dry and lacked filling, strawberry custard wasn't too sweet and the little cake was crumbly. I liked that all the pastries were too sweet.

    Caprese Croissant
    Greta G.

    I made a much needed stop at Petit Pierre during a 8 mile urban hike, for a croissant. I ordered a seasonal Caprese croissant and throughly enjoyed it. The croissant was flaky and buttery, you could see all the layers. I also love the idea of Caprese on a croissant. The mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil all tasted really fresh. My only feedback would be that it would have been even better warmed up. Usually, I hear them offer this, but the cashier didn't give me the option. Petit Pierre is a cute little bakery, but be aware that they only have outdoor seating. I took my pastry and sat at one of the tables on the sidewalk. A good option for a sunny day!

    Pain aux Raisins
    Fionna L.

    I was so thrilled when my friend took us to this delectable bakery in charming Magnolia! They had buy 2 get 1 pastries toward the end of the day. The nearest restrooms are in the Starbucks and the Bartells. There are little tables to eat at outside and there is a wonderful bookstore next door. - Ham and cheese croissant: excellent and classic. I especially liked the flavor of the crispy cheese. - Snickers mousse: this was deceptively huge and had so many interesting textures! The shortbread was crumbly, the middle soft and cakey with crunchy nuts, and the mousse melted in the mouth. An absolutely delicious, chocolatey, and well-balanced work of art. - Pain aux raisins (raisin bread): light and airy with plenty of plump raisins. I wasn't the biggest fan but my friend loved it! - Berry flat croissant: it tasted exactly like how it looked: densely crunchy, buttery and flakey, with a delicious sweet white chocolate berry dip. I'm dreaming of when I can next come back!

    Guava Cruffin, Pistachio Cassis Brioche, and Strawberry Rhubarb Supreme
    Arlene S.

    I've heard lots of good things about this bakery and am excited to try their pastries. I ordered the strawberry rhubarb supreme croissant, pistachio cassis brioche, and guava cruffin. The pastries had great texture. I really like the guava cruffin as the cream was delicious without being too sweet. The pistachio casis brioche was loaded with strawberry cream in the center that was a bit too tart and strong for my taste. However, the pistachio was aromatic and delicious brioche. I was excited to try the supreme croissant, but the strawberry rhubarb jam was too sour for me.

    Petit Pierre is one of Magnolia's best bakeries that always has a line out the door. They make both sweet and savory pastries as well as cakes and refrigerated desserts. The pastries are freshly made everyday and range in price from $4.50 - $9 each. We went on an early afternoon on a Saturday and they still had a wide selection of pastries. We got the PLUM CLAFOUTIS, the MONKEY BREAD, the ALMOND BRIOCHE, and the DULCE MANGO PETIT SUPREME (Cronut). The PLUM CLAFOUTIS was my dad's pick. For reference, a clafoutis is a French fruit tart with almonds. The plums were tart and tasted like sour cherries. The tart was buttery but didn't have a lot of almond taste to it. The MONKEY BREAD had raspberry jam and cinnamon pieces. It was made of croissant dough, but was drier than I would have preferred. I was expecting more of a chewy cinnamon roll texture, but this monkey bread was more flaky than chewy. The ALMOND BRIOCHE a was decent. The brioche was fluffy and had a layer of apricot jam filling which was absolutely delicious. The crunchy toasted almonds added great texture to this pastry as well. Of the pastries we tried, the DULCE MANGO PETIT SUPREME (Cronut) was the best. It was coated in a cinnamon glaze (think like horchata) with pieces of crunchy cereal on the outside that almost tasted like muddy buddies. The cronut was flaky and had a mango cream filling that wasn't overly sweet. I've never had anything quite like this dessert before, but all of the flavors really came together. As far as atmosphere, the bakery is very tight with little to no indoor seating. There's only enough room for a line and a line out so you really have to take your pastries to go. In the back, they sell coffee, chocolate bon bons, mugs, and other gifts. Service was good and they were prompt to help customers move through the ordering line. Overall: 4/5 for pastries, 4/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere

    **to go review** My friend got me these pastries- they look amazing!! The flavour for me were generally on the sweeter side and also not that special. Could be cause it was stored in the fridge.

    Delicious pastries! This is our go-to bakery near Magnolia. There is such a variety of pastries, desserts and sandwiches including both sweet and savory options. My top choices for sweet pastries are the Pain Aux Raisin, Monkey Bread, Strawberry Matcha Cruffin and Pain au Chocolat. For savory the Mushroom and Gruyere, Artichoke and Spinach and avocado toast with lox are super tasty! The bakery is very small with no indoor seating. If you come on the weekend, expect the line to be out the door. When it gets really busy it can be difficult to find room to wait for coffees or for pastries to be heated up, so be prepared to shuffle around folks in the tight space. Overall a super tasty choice for baked goods!

    Like the coffee and croissant! The line can be long but worth it midday. I'd love to see them do bakery style pizza or more sandwich types.

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. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

    I got the twice baked chocolate croissant for 7.25! Might seem pricey but the pastry was genuinely…read moreso big that I think the price was actually a good deal. 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.

    If I could give zero stars, I would…read more My 11-year-old daughter and I were the very first customers in line when the doors opened at 7:00 a.m. This should have been a quick, easy breakfast run: six donuts, four breakfast sandwiches, and two coffees. Instead, it turned into a masterclass in how to make customers feel completely unwelcome. The sticker shock started immediately. Six donuts cost $25. Expensive? Absolutely. But I was willing to pay premium prices if the experience matched. It didn't. My daughter politely asked if she could order a ham and cheese croissant. The cashier's response? "Well, we have no croissants available... so... no." Not "I'm sorry, we're sold out." Not even a hint of courtesy. Just a cold, dismissive response to an 11-year-old. Then I asked whether they made specialty coffee because my daughter wanted a latte. The response: "We have an espresso machine." Thanks, but that wasn't the question. It felt like every interaction was treated as an inconvenience. After we finally finished ordering, we waited nearly 20 minutes for what should have been a straightforward order. Meanwhile, our coffees sat getting colder by the minute while nobody seemed remotely concerned. Then the food arrived... except one breakfast sandwich was missing. This was somehow the most frustrating part. Instead of a simple apology or, "We'll get that right out," the cashier immediately became defensive, pulled up the order screen as if I were the one making a mistake, and said, "I could charge you for the fourth one if you want." No apology. No ownership. No attempt to recover the situation. Just more attitude. It's remarkable how quickly rude, indifferent service can sour what should have been a pleasant breakfast. The food might be good, but it's hard to appreciate it when you're made to feel like your business is a burden. For a place happy to charge premium prices - including a jaw-dropping $58 coconut cream pie - you'd expect at least a basic level of professionalism and hospitality. Instead, the overwhelming impression was arrogance: the assumption that people will keep coming no matter how poorly they're treated. Seattle has too many outstanding bakeries staffed by people who actually appreciate their customers to waste your time or money here. This place has earned exactly one visit from me, and that's one too many.

    My boyfriend and I were super excited to try a new place for breakfast and loved the variety of…read morepastries available at this bakery, especially since a lot of nearby cafes don't have a lot of great food options. 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!!

    I'm here for coffee. I did not try any pastry as I was having lunch much later…read more Coffee was good. For a single barista who also did all food orders, she was quick. Coffee is good but not a wow. Food like the croissants seems to be not fresh. They did not have the look of freshly baked considering it was around 9am. Not sure but did not have the glow or lopk when I see a pastry. Nice place though. Lots of tables and space. They were busy.

    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?

    I came here last Saturday afternoon at 12:50 pm with my partner, and there was a very short line…read moreand plenty of seating! We ordered the Fried Egg Sandwich with bacon, Saint Cheeseburger, and Seasoned Fries with Miso Ranch. The Fried Egg Sandwich and Saint Cheeseburger were on the same buns, which were soft, buttery, and delicious. However, the ratio of patty-to-bun for the cheeseburger felt a bit off (way more bun than patty), and if we were to get it again, we would definitely order it with an extra patty. The fries were solid, but the Miso Ranch unfortunately did not have a prominent miso flavor, and instead was very dill-heavy. All around, we enjoyed our visit and would for sure come back to try their baked goods.
