I FINALLY made it to Lazy Cow, and it was so worth the wait! I was skeptical due to some of the reviews, but they were quickly disproven! There was only one barista behind the counter, but they quickly let us know that they were finishing a drink or two and would be right with us! Less than 5 mins later and I received my matcha croissant (May special) and the strawberry shortcake. ~16 for both. The matcha croissant was amazing. They didn't skimp on the filling at all. I was able to have a bite of the creamy matcha with each bite of my flaky croissant! The strawberry shortcake was also great. Not too sweet or too dry- just right! This is a VEGAN bakery, and I have been vegan for 6 years, so not sure what folks mean by not "buttery" enough. All I tasted was delicious, flavorful, vegan sweets! There was also plenty of seating and the sweetest decor! Thanks Lazy Cow staff!! read more

Staff was nice and welcoming! But the coffee is just not it. The homemade syrups can be a hit or miss, could hardly tell there was any vanilla in what I got. read more

The vibes of this cafe are absolutely gorgeous! Went here to catch up with some friends on a rainy day and it was perfect. Someone was playing the piano and ugh I could stay there all day working. Hazy mocha: it was exactly how they described it, hazelnut and chocolate with espresso. Wasn't too sweet and had just the right bitterness for someone who doesn't drink coffee regularly. They had a great assortment of pastries and food as well. Get there early to have the most variety, especially on the weekend. The brownie was super rich and fudgy, went perfectly with my latte:) read more

This is a very cute cafe with amazing sandwiches, pastries and drinks. Service was efficient and very friendly!

I went to Lazy Cow and can't begin to say how delicious it was. The lemon meringue tart was the best I've ever had. I dream of going there every day to get the princess cake which is phenomenal. They even made the marzipan from scratch. It was hard to believe that the croissants were vegan because they were so delicious. Have you tried the Snickers cake? If you're a vegan this is the place to go. If you're not a vegan this is the place to go. I wish I could give more than five stars. read more

Lazy Cow is the best vegan bakery in Seattle by far. Their food and coffee are both DELICIOUS. I order from here at least weekly and always take people here when they are in town visiting. read more

I recently stopped in to get pastries for a vegan co-worker that is leaving her job. I'd never been there before but went based on the reviews. The staff (owners?) were extremely friendly and helpful, and I assembled a good variety of pastries and muffins and lemon loaf. Everything was delicious! The almond croissants were my personal favorite; not too sugary and plenty of almonds. The lemon loaf with raspberry frosting was also a favorite. I try to stick with vegan if the options are good, but I'm personally not vegan. But I will definitely be back as these were all amazing! read more

We are vegans visiting from Portland, OR and were excited to try it after reading about it online. We ended up coming for breakfast three days in a row! Overall our experience was very good. Positive: -the space is very nice. big and open and toasty warm with nice decor. -the breakfast burrito was delicious - I love the mashed potato approach. -the lemon pound cake was out of this world, and the brownie was also delicious. I haven't had a "real" tasting vegan brownie in many years. -the drinks were tasty -the cinnamon bun was absolutely perfect -they have a free food shelf for those in need which was pretty well stocked. We saw several people come to use it while there. I know this may be a negative for some but I applaud a business using the space to support those in need in the community. - Negative: -they were out of several things on the board when we were there but it wasn't marked. It seems like the energy it takes to tell two customers this information could be used to put a little "sold out" sign up on the chalk board -the bathroom was very nice but clearly hadn't been cleaned in a bit, esp the sink. It is always a bit of letdown to use the bathroom after eating your meal and have the space be dirty. - read more

I returned to try their breakfast sandwich, which is unique in that they put jalapeño jelly in it, which adds a unique dimension. Otherwise, it's a tasty if standard vegan breakfast sandwich -- the sausage is very nice in particular. read more

While I'm grateful for the yummy vegan pastries, it is too pricey. $9 for a tiny tart? Cmon! read more

Wonderful ambiánce, and very friendly staff. I spent a lot of time perusing their menu, and after a recommendation from the staff, I ordered the focaccia sandwich and heartily enjoyed breaking my fast. I highly recommend this establishment to vegans and non-vegans alike. read more

Yummy apple crumb coffee cake. Very good coffee. Comfortable spot. Highly recommended!

Service was great, we asked a few questions as this was our first time there and the staff was really helpful! We had a hot latte, an iced horchata, and a lavender latte and all three were fantastic. We also ordered several pastries and two breakfast items, all of which tasted really good (moist, flavorful, etc.) especially considering they were all vegan. Would highly recommend anyone try this out, even folks who aren't vegan. The bakery had some tables and was well decorated (beautiful plants and art work). read more

I first got word of this super charming little business when Lara & friends/volunteers started doing pop-ups in the Roosevelt area. I think it was mostly just cakes then so while not quite my cup o' tea, I was a curious cat and wanted to try 'em out. You could taste the love in them that was to come. [FF] button to now, the Fremont storefront is alive. It's a bit minimalist in design; at least perhaps just for the early weeks I'd imagine. Hopefully they have more plans to spice up the place (wall artwork, small detail/accent things scattered, etc). For now, it's pretty neat. You got a pastel teal vintage couch in the corner, a couple old saloon-style(?) table options, a small bar top seating, funky fresh community fridge w/ pantry and one of the most early/mid-century charming bathrooms (dig that tiny "cow diorama" thing). Chill music can be heard in the airwaves. The staff is usually chill & laid-back. They'll hook you up with drink of choice(s) and/or pastry things. Speaking of drinks, I think I tried the plain horchata and Zapatista coffee latte. Just good stuff; I prefer good decaf as I get jitters often from caffeine now so only a rare treat and with food. Personal mugs accepted! Pastries are more my jam here. The fruit "tarts" (berry, pear, lemon meringue...smooth!) are my tops, then crumble cake (delightfully light) and almond croissant (1 is perfect; a smidge heavy). The Swedish(?) Princess Cake (w/ marzipan?) is yummy with unique flavor but not personally a big marzipan/frosting fan. The chocolate croissant is like a paper weight; it has all the croissant things except perhaps The Fluff texture (maybe rename as croissant roll and/or warm it up slightly; that may help actually...I should try that). Cake slices rotate around; but again I usually skip cake unless it's super minimalist. Cake fans would enjoy them. Liberation. Compassion. Community. Go check 'em out & show support! read more

I appreciate your response Lara, but: There was pretty much nobody there, so I feel it should have been a no brainer to pop around w a bleach cloth and get the tables. The person behind the counter had time to have a discussion at one of the tables. And you're right, I could have brought it to his attention, but if someone doesn't have that priority, how well wd it have been received? Also, the items I got were pulled from platters in your fridge. So they must have been out too long beforehand. I understand why things go melty or flat. But they all were. In addition, I have no idea what to say about the chai. It was just nasty. I have never tasted anything like it and I drink a lot of it. I certainly haven't experienced it since. It was very unpleasant. I may have been there on a (VERY) off day, but you do have several bad reviews. So you might want to consider how to improve the feedback you got. Good luck in your endeavors. read more

Pluto Organic Cafe - A box full of treats I cdn't eat. & left by trash. See the single bite I took from the shortcake before aborting the mission? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have to admit it was okay. Was the croissant good? Sure but it was dry could have used some butter. Was the wait long? Yes the only person behind the counter was chatting up the person in front of me. Was it pricey? Yes for what you get. Was the homeless guy smelly? Yes but he was was very friendly. I could see if it was a short walk here I would come back. I'm not going to hunt for parking just to stop in here. But if I'm in the neighborhood anyway we'll maybe. read more

Pluto Organic Cafe - Horchata with espresso , so good! I already ate the concha ( very delicious Mexican sweet bread- small round shape ) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super cozy cafe! I had an oat milk cortado and a toast with chickpea and avocado and both were delicious.

We were there on Sunday at 2pm and the case was almost empty I order a chocolate "croissant" not good. Too dense, and lack of flavor. A croissant is made with lots of butter to get the amazing layers and flaky... It shouldn't be called croissant, chocolate bread would be a good name though. Also the people were not welcoming at all. read more

I didn't know this was a vegan bakery until after I finished my tart. With no shortage of dessert options in Fremont, this bakery is a solid option for quality treats, whether you're vegan or not. read more

Came here because I needed to use the restroom which was the closest one across Vintage Mall. Customer Service/ambience here is great. The lady who welcomed me and took my order was friendly although she did mess up on my drink. I asked for an earl grey tea "iced" since I don't do well with warm drinks. I still got it hot, no biggie, I just asked for iced on the side. I also ordered their pumpkin spiced pie, I believe it's called. Shockingly delish, if you were to compare it to other bakeries. It micmic the pumpkin pie well and the price was also reasonable at $3/$4 at the size of your palm or my palm. It was good that I've found this place. Also looks chill to do work and study here. Noise level was almost quiet. I would definitely be back to try their other goodies or to even do some study/work here. read more

This was the perfect stop for a sweet treat on a Sunday. I came in and the service was fast and friendly despite there only being one person behind the counter and a line ahead of me. I really enjoyed the banana cream tart, absolutely delicious. I also got the Horchata "sucio" with a shot of espresso-delicious! I will definitely be back. Side note, it's great that they have a little free food pantry in the back. Definitely a business worth supporting for that alone read more

My favorite bakery! The apple cake is amazing - just the right sweetness, with a nutty crunch on top. Fruit tart is also great- heck, everything here is great. Plus, it's nice to support a local business that helps the community! read more

Lazy Cow Bakery is wonderful. I ordered a birthday cake from them recently and also picked up one of their Spiced Pear Frangipane Tarts while I was in the bakery and both were excellent. I highly recommend stopping in and seeing what they have in their display case. read more

Well we have tried this place again. More selection when we came in. The owner was more talkative this time. They are nice enough. But the reason you come to a bakery is the food. Still flavorless, hard and dry. read more

Strange and disappointing, came in yesterday to get two drinks and it took over 10 minutes with zero people in store. Worker looked high and was eating and chewing over our drinks. They confirmed many times what the drinks that we ordered were and still I got the wrong drink, in fact, my drink was so bad. I had to dump it in a bush and I hate food waste, but I straight up couldn't drink it. They closed up immediately after we left, I didn't get to try the baked goods so I can't speak on that part but perhaps if I came in at a different time with a different set of workers it would be a better experience. Sidenote, I'm not from the area so maybe this is their regular kind of service I'm just not used to the lack of hospitality and quality from a seemingly quaint bakery. read more

Update: Thank you for the response Lara. For more context. Many of the pastries and baked goods that day were out on top of the counter. Specifically all of your cookies that my wife wanted to try which had regular flies on them at the time. The croissants were also out. I asked the employee if they had anything else to serve us besides what was left out and they mentioned that was all that was left. It was later in the day. My wife and I refused to eat anything that was left out. We live out of state so won't be trying again any time soon but maybe someday. Original: We really wanted to love Lazy Cow Bakery but as soon as we walked in we saw almost all the baked goods are not in cases and there were flies and other bugs on most things. We turned around and immediately left. read more

Do not trust this bakery. Last Sunday my sister, who is anaphylaxis to dairy/milk, ate one of their "vegan" croissants and went into anaphylactic shock immediately after biting into one of the croissants. She had to be rushed to the ER via ambulance and spent hours in the emergency room. We emailed the bakery many times regarding this incident and have yet to receive a response. She called the bakery and was treated so rudely and dismissively- being told that it wasn't the food from the bakery and must've been something else DESPITE her having a reaction immediately after eating the croissant (which is the only thing she had eaten that day). The complete and utter lack of human compassion and the callousness shown towards a young member of the community which they claim to "serve" who had almost died as a result of their lying and carelessness is unbelievable. There is very limited information about their kitchen, and their allergen statement only speaks to soy, nuts, wheat, and gluten. That being said, I would not trust them for any dietary-restricted diet as they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy. TLDR; DO NOT TRUST THIS BAKERY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES. THEY ARE NOT VEGAN. read more

Best vegan tart I've ever had! Staff was super warm and friendly, lots of community outreach programs and work. Huge fan!

I have been here a few times when I am happen to be in the area. The food looks very appealing, but from my experience as a food critic it lacks on taste. The brunch was how should I say 0.o. And the service wasn't it as great. read more

Lazy Cow is amazing! They make the *best* vegan desserts and food, and they are a hub for community support. Highly recommend!

Lazy Cow Bakery has become my favorite place to indulge in great tasting Vegan pastries when visiting Seattle. I had been looking for a place that made vegan croissants for over a year, and FINALLY found someone who does. They even have chocolate croissants that are amazing. read more

Every item i've tried from Lazy Cow has been delicious. I love the strawberry shortcake and tiramisu. I also appreciate the presence of typical cafe breakfast items veganised such as egg muffin sandwiches and croissants. They are on the pricey side, but other than that I love this bakery. read more

Matcha was the worst I've had in Seattle (was room temperature). Most of their treats were gone when we came in. Had to take a quick work call and they coincidentally raised the volume of their music followed by the barista coming over to play the piano and sing right next to our table which was quite loud and disruptive. Great playing, terrible timing. Not recommended for studying/working, though grab and go probably isn't too bad if you avoid the drinks. read more

I really like this bakery and will give them my business whenever we can. Here's why the owners truly cares about people and activism. Her minimalistic shop is so lovely, cozy and a treat. Their service is fine, as long as you don't expect a chat up all the time and are fine with just telling what you want. Now for the food, frankly I find all of everything I've tried to be delicious. The croissants, strawberry shortcake, banana items all so great! read more

Not a lot of selection of pastries and drinks. The pastries were quite pricey. Service was good, not sure if I'd be back here again.

I walked into Lazy Cow Bakery to get some tasty treats 10 minutes prior to them closing and found very few things available and got the flan, a gingerbread flavored cake and conchas. The flan was alright but the other items were meh. Service was prompt and courteous but based on my expectations from baked goods ( vegan or otherwise), I am unlikely to return. I wish them good luck though and support their greenhouse-aware mission to feed treats to people who are restrained to vegan food choices. read more

The horchata with added espresso is so so delicious!!!! If you're considering trying it, here's your sign to go for it!!! read more

I still wouldn't recommend them. They never replied to me personally when I reached out to them.
