The bakery is small, self-serve grab and go. The cookies were dry it wasn't good and lacked moisture, and the texture wasn't the best. The lady who took care of me was nice though. The Apple fritter my friend said was decent so that's why I give it that 2stars because the cookies were disappointing. It was my first time here -- there weren't too many options there. I mainly saw donuts and cookies. All sweets, no savory. I think I'd only return just to see if their other options are okay. But wouldn't be willing to come back. read more

See all

The woman is a thief. She charged us $8.75 for one donut and one cookie. I guess I should've just canceled the sale right there, but I had already touched the donuts. This place is definitely not worth it. The donut was OK but I can get a donut like that anywhere else for a lot cheaper right in downtown Seattle, I could go to the best donut shop around there and it would only cost me four dollars. Be careful if you go here because she will rip you off. read more

Had only been one time before (about a year ago) it was not what I remembered - maybe they have changed owners. It's all self serve, like a Mexican bakery. Went for donuts but there wasn't a large variety - got 1 sugar donut and it seemed to have gotten dropped in the bag of C&H pure cane sugar....but hey, it was $1. I got the kids cookies (oh yeah, I got 2 for me) - they were only .75 and were big. However, they were awful. After the 1st bite, my 7 yr old said, "Ewwww, it's stale" I didn't even think she knew that word or what it meant.....The almond divinity tasted like someone had dumped an entire bottle of fake almond extract in a bowl of shortening. I My cookies are better - and they are nothing special. read more

Drove by this morning at 7:20 am and the lights were off and bakery closed. I noticed two signs saying that they open at 6:30 am, but no one was there. Will have to try again a different day. I have heard good things.... we shall see. read more

My mom and I got a smorgasbord of items here, and I was happy with all of them. The frosting on the cinnamon rolls was great. Most of the cookies did seem to have the same base, but it was delicious. The oatmeal raisin cookie and divinity were both good, and the brownie was chocolatey and fudgy. The real stars were the "apple jack" and buttermilk doughnut. The apple jack was a perfect blend of chewy, flaky, sugary apple and cinnamon. Buttermilk doughnuts are my favorite, so I've tried a lot of them, and this was easily one of the best. The top and bottom were crispy, the glaze was perfect, and the texture inside had just the right amount of moist denseness. The attendant who greeted us was very friendly. I definitely recommend this bakery, especially for the doughnuts and pastries. read more

Pike Place Bakery - Cinnamon rolls, cookies, buttermilk doughnut, brownie, and apple jack. - Bakeries Near Me - Renton, Washington

This is the absolute best bakery in the Puget Sound area to for Danish and baked goods! I've been going here for almost 8 years, and swear by it. The owner Nettie is absolutely amazing as well. Hoping to see you all again soon! read more

Pros: 1. Easy parking 2. What you see is what you get - that can be good or bad. In this case, it's ok. 3. Friendly employees Cons: My first time there, I was unsure of how this worked, but once the woman behind the counter told me to grab a tray and use the tongs, I got it. Very panaderia - I haven't experienced that since Chicago! Snagged several pastries, donuts and 2 very large croissants. The quality of the items I chose were not the best. The pastries were too big and the donuts were just...so bland. The only minor highlights were the 2 croissants. Maybe I came here late and should've arrived earlier for a fresher, more diverse selection. Maybe they excel at cookies, because they've clearly failed in the donuts and pastries. The cheese danish received one bite from a friend and then was tossed, stating that "The cream cheese tasted weird and it had some weird run off juice that dropped on to my shirt. I don't like that." No one will let me the one to bring pastries to a Saturday morning meet up after this. read more

I'm literally addicted to their version of Divinity. Big, melt in your mouth, powdered sugar goodness. It's actually closer to an Italian Whipped Shortbread than the super sugary sweet divinity candy. I've been trying for 20 years to duplicate the recipe unsuccessfully. Whenever I head to the market, I have to bring a dozen of these yummy goodies home with me. read more

Bakery or Drywall Manufacturer? We bought a raspberry coffee cake here along with some cookies and divinities for a dinner party. It all looked real good in the display case, but when we served it for dessert it was just awful. We felt humiliated for having bought this crap. The cake was drier than a matzah fart, there was nothing divine about the divinities which weren't that flavorful, and the cookies were downright pedestrian. The name "Pike Place" connotes images of products that are "fresh", "high quality", and "delicious". In this case we got stuck with "stale", "low quality", and "flavorless". We would've been better off buying some generic cake at Safeway on $5 Friday. Don't be fooled by the pretty pictures on their profile or their website. Go here only if you're eager to waste your money on inferior pastries that a starving homeless person rummaging through a dumpster wouldn't bother eating. Pike Place Bakery gets a 1-star only because Yelp doesn't offer a zero-star rating. read more

Bad way to do business when your customers get there and your closed or have a sign that says be back in 15 min and 15 min later still not their won't be back now you all see why there are so many empty strip malls I guess we just have to order thru Amazon read more

Giant Sized Donuts now available in Renton, WA =D **Same Good Solid Bakery that you find in the Famous Pike Place Market! I grabbed a Foot Long Maple Bar and it was OK... The chocolate chip cookies were tasty! The fresh breads looked delicious! The People who greeted me were happy smiling! Awesome! :D I will stop by & check out Pike Place Bakery again to try their other goods! read more

Every time I've been to the "Market" in Seattle, I often pickup a roll or pastry from one of the bakeries in the area. Pike Place Bakery is one of them. But I live in Renton (naysayers say "ugh"). And now! They're in my backyard! From the massive donuts (which are on special right now!) to the jalapeno loafs, this place is great especially now that it is local. The first time I stopped by to pickup my dozen donuts (for coworkers, of course), the nice lady offered me a jalapeno roll for free! How'd she know that was one of my favorites?? Now that it's in my neighborhood, I'll be stopping by. So check it out! :) read more

3-1/2 stars: After reading the mixed reviews here, i was a bit hesitant to try this place. I think it might be about your expectations going in. A step-up in quality and selection from the supermarket; but not a bustling bakery with a charming atmosphere, or a fancy patisserie with delicate pastries and subtle flavors either. It feels kind of like an outlet for one of those old-school bakeries with big portions, heavy on the sweet. It's self serve, and there is a bell to ring when you're ready to check out. They have some day-old stuff for purchase, and some single-serving milk containers to go with the moderate selection of donuts and pastries. Cinnamon roll was a little light on the cinnamon and heavy on the bread for my taste, but was moist enough with pleasant raisins and almond slivers. The real star for me was the flat cinnamon pastry (i forget how it was labeled, but basically a huge, round, cinnamon palmier?) It managed to be crispy, chewy, and flaky all at the same time. Will come back again to give some other things a shot. read more

This place does have large delicious donuts. The problem is they have very limited hours. Even if you go during there listed business hours they are likely closed. read more

We were very excited to try out this new bakery in our new 'hood, and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint! The donut that I tried was very fresh, big and cakey and not overly sweet. My kids loved their sugar cookies with multi-colored sprinkles that the clever bakery lady gave them. Clever, clever bakery lady. Also- we were told that espresso is to come! All right!!! read more

As usual i bought the cake and soup. In addition, their coffee is really good as well. Parking might be a bit hard to find. but overall experience is pretty good, sure will stop by again. I hope they don't close so early. read more

Having moved to east King County a few months ago I am noting the SEVERE lack of a decent bakery. I noticed this place and stopped in hoping to get a decent treat for my partner who has a sweet spot for baked goods. *ugh* First of all, I didn't quite understand what the heck was going on when I walked in. All the product cases are self-serve, but there are NO boxes for you to put your things in. There were two stacks of dirty aluminum platters with a couple pairs of tongs sitting on top of the cases. Really? I decided on a couple of maple bars and cinnamon rolls despite the ridiculous price. And honestly, they were AWFUL. So heavy and bready. These were definitely yeasty (as opposed to cake) in a BAD way. We would have been so better off with a generic maple bar from Safeway. Honestly, these were really, really bad. And was there any BREAD in this bakery? I would have loved to pick up a decent baguette or loaf of caraway rye but I have no idea if this bakery even HAS bread. The whole thing was just very off-putting. Giving one extra star because the woman working there was really nice and there is easy parking. read more

For a while now I've been bemoaning the fact that there aren't any good bakeries in the area so when I saw (on yelp, of course) that a Pike Place Bakery had opened up down town I was ecstatic! I found it on Friday night and we were there on their doorstep Sat morning because there was no time to waste for a good cookie. So far so good, right? It's with a heavy heart that I share with you that my disappointment and frustration in the Renton Pike Place Bakery is as dry and unfriendly as their pastries. So not what I expected. The cookies all tasted a like from chocolate dipped chocolate chip to the sugar to to the rainbow sprinkled shortcake to the whatever the hell else I bought... the only defining taste between the lot of them was the chalky taste of dryness even WHOLE milk could not assuage....and frankly, I don't even want to get into the Raspberry Coffee Cake that I swear to you tasted like it came from a vending machine. No cookie should ever be that bad and have the nerve to call itself a cookie! read more

Good bakery with crazy good deals. Those of you who say it tastes nothing like the one in Pike Place are pretty dumb because they bake everything here and send it to Pike. read more

i've been searching for a non-grocery bakery around Renton! Happened upon this little gem with some yelp help! AWESOME! the donuts were fresh and DE-lish! $7 for a dozen of fresh and yummy donuts and the service was super friendly. Nice to meet you, local bakery! read more

Old fashion quality and great friendly service that makes you feel welcome and appriciated with a smile the moment you open the door. They do not take AMX but that is far from a big problem. Remember to try the cookies too. read more

Been coming here for awhile, the only problem is their hours. When I have a breakfast meeting I need to get in and out on the freeway by 6am. I love their chocolate covered cream filled pastry, and also the apple fritters (just don't get the really dark crispy ones unless that's your type, they're a little harder but still good with coffee.) I had the cannoli's once before, pricey but really good flavor and the shells were crisp. I also like the chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies (can you tell I like chocolate?) Haven't tried one of their cakes yet. I have bought their french bread (I think they only have a limited amount baked every day, because most times they're out when I get there), it was still soft on the outside, and buttered it up myself with garlic butter for dinner. Came out really crisp from my own oven with my pasta. Kids liked it too. Much better than Safeway stuff. read more

This is the RUDEST bakery I have ever been too... The desserts looked and smelled good, but the owner was beyond rude! I won't be back!!

This is the most awesome bakery. The cakes are awesome and so good!!! Love the whipped cream frosting. I was sad when my local bakery closed down, but Pikes Place bakery is my replacement. Love them!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!! read more
