    Pastries
    Rayce M.

    I visited many bakeries in Seattle, and Sea Wolf was an OK stop. Sea Wolf has an epic patio space with tons of seating and also some indoor seating to choose from. The kitchen is open, so you can watch as all of the scrumptious pastries are made. I liked the vibe here a lot. The space is shared with a bagel shop, but there is plenty of room for everyone. Service was fine. The line moved fast, and the prices were reasonable, comparable to other bakeries in Seattle. While I enjoyed the vibe at Sea Wolf Bakers a lot, I didn't think their pastries and coffee were nearly as good as some others I tried in Seattle. The espresso shot I tried was extremely bitter and just not as smooth as it should have been. The savory croissant was ok, but it lacked any big flavors, and the texture wasn't really croissant-like. The hit cross bun was just unimpressive and not very good at all. Overall, I would probably skip Sea Wolf Bakers next time. It's ok, but there are so many other amazing bakeries too. Maybe I tried the wrong stuff?

    Of course I had to come to the iconic Sea Wolf in Fremont. It's such a beautiful spot in view of the water. I got a pizza slice, the tuna sandwich, a savory croissant, and a latte. You can tell how high quality the bread is here as each bite was so flaky and light and fluffy. Even though it was pricy, I can see why. You're paying for the experience.

    Local bakery shop with pastries both sweet and savory. I chose the berry pastry with raspberry and glaze. This was a flaky pastry with an ample amount of berry and sweetness that wasn't overpowering the flavor. Great location to other nearby shops and the farmers market.

    Kouign Amann
    Sierra W.

    For my first visit I kept it simple and tried one pastry. Kouign Amann caught my eye immediately. Perfect texture. Soft inside with a crunchy and flaky glazed exterior. The flavor was good but only con for me is it was way too salty. I read another review that said similar unfortunately so don't think I'd give it a second chance but I do look forward to trying something else. Next time I would try a lye roll or focaccia if I return. Cold ambiance with cafeteria like seating. The seating and lobby was my least favorite part it felt cold and unwelcoming. The service seemed stressed and not enthusiastic to speak with customers so with the combined cold lobby it felt not fun. Sea Wolf Bakers has a cool name and I bet some delicious treats but my first experience was forgettable and not impressive. Don't know if I'd go out of my way to return being honest.

    Chocolate Croissant and Latte
    Nikita S.

    I assumed this place would be packed on weekends, so I decided to go on a weekday instead and visited on Wednesday around 9 am. It was still quite busy there are only about eight tables, and seven of them were full. One thing to note is that the space gets very noisy even with just a few people, so I can imagine it becoming extremely loud when it's completely crowded. I can see why many customers were choosing to take their orders to go. I ordered a latte (8oz) and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was very flaky and absolutely delicious probably the best I've had in Seattle. However, since it was a chocolate croissant, I expected a bit more chocolate. There was very little overall, and most of it ended up in a single bite. That said, I really enjoyed the combination of the coffee and the croissant they complemented each other very well. I'll definitely be back to try more of their bakery items.

    Cheddar lye roll, parmesan biscuit, and roasted mushroom sandwich in the back

    Wow Sea Wolf really surprised me - the food was better than I expected. I resisted the urge to get anything sweet on my first visit; instead we sampled a variety of the savory options. The roasted mushroom sandwich was 5/5 for me - really great flavor combinations, more complex than I expected. The cheddar lye roll was another 5/5 - I immediately regretted not getting more! I also tried the seasonal biscuit which was parmesan black pepper - another one I liked more than expected. My sister got the seasonal focaccia (with sesame and roasted carrots) and the savory croissant (red onion jam and chevre) and she loved both! It wasn't busy at all at noon on a Monday - lucky us! We did takeout but there was plenty of seating available for a dine-in option. Parking can be a bit tricky with the only option being what you find on the street.

    Sea Wolf is truly a pillar of Seattle's baking scene. As a full-on bread nerd and previous bread baker myself, this place consistently blows my mind. Their seasonal pastries never miss (I still dream about the Thanksgiving-time pumpkin pastry), the cinnamon rolls are legitimately several meals (they're HUGE and so yummy warmed up), and they make what is easily the best sourdough in the city. Also: their vegan brioche deserves WAY more hype than it gets, it is absolutely stellar. That said, service has been hit-or-miss in the past and has honestly deterred us from going at times. However, on our most recent visit during the holiday season (typically extra strain on the team), the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, which felt like a big shift in the right direction. Bonus points for the outdoor patio, which is absolutely lovely and makes the whole experience feel extra special. I have happily made this place our regular bread spot & wouldn't have it any other way!

    We ordered what was described as a caramelized croissant, but it wasn't as sweet as we expected. That said, we did enjoy the crisp, caramelized top layer, it had a nice texture and was the highlight for us.

    Wow. A real high quality bakery that I'll always be thinking about until my next visit. I really loved the pretzel and chocolate croissant, and I'd love to come back and give their other pastries a try! Service was really nice and knowledgable of all the pastries. There's street parking, and during my visit on a weekday morning, it was kind of difficult to find. There's inside and outside seating as well, but space is limited.

    Hands down top bakery in the country. Their pastries especially their croissants are on par with those in Paris . Super light and airy and well proofed Croissants: flaky and chewy and crunchy all at once. There's a reason why the line is long here.

    Eva C.

    Cute little bakery! Many options to choose from. We got the pesto corn focaccia and their savory croissant. The savory croissant was really flakey and yummy filling. The focaccia had a soft, airy, and chewy interior and it was even better after heating it up! Service was fast. Would come back again to try their other items!

    My favorite bakery in Seattle! After a taste test of 10 bakeries, they are my favorite croissant in the city. Some of my favorites: chocolate oat cookie, Burger bun, croissant, sandwich bread, soft pretzel, jalapeno cheddar scone...clearly you can't go wrong!

    Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 I had heard so much about this spot so decided to stop by on a trip down to Seattle! We came on a Friday morning and there was a short line out the door with no seating left inside. Luckily the line moved fast and there were some tables available outside but I could see it being hard to grab one on the weekend so I would definitely suggest coming early! They had lots of different bread options, some sandwich options, and then sweet and savoury pastries. We decided to share a chocolate chip cookie and a Kouign-amann. While both were good I wouldn't say they were the best I've ever had - I'd definitely want to try a savory item and bread next time I came! The staff was lovely and efficient so I'd stop by again for sure to try some other things

    What's the best way for storing the cut loaves (and eaten within a week)?

    The best way to keep it fresh is to wrap in cling wrap, then suck all the air out of a ziplock bag. I use a gallon size bag. This is fresh homemade bread and doesn't have all the preservative in it to make it last all week though. It should be eaten… Read more

The eclair and custard pastry are of course better cold rather than saving to eat it later. Some of the better macaroons we've had and these are usually not my go-to, but I'd order them again. You can't really see what is offered in the displays up front, so the only downside is folks take longer trying to decide when they get there after waiting in line. They offer self-serve still or with gas water (nice touch, uncommon). We visited on a weekday. I imagine would be more crowded on weekends or holidays so plan your trip accordingly. Parking: off site lots as this place is located in the heart of Pike's Market.

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!

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.
