At the end of the historic main street of downtown Snohomish is this large, wonderful bakery. The space is huge with a large alfresco patio in front. There's a large metal sculpture of a female baker that's pretty impressive. The bakery is filled with 2 long counters of pastries. On the left is a clear window showcasing artisan breads. We had a loaf of Gruyère Cheese Bread, shaped into a boule. We also had a Morning Glory muffin. We had drip coffee. The Gruyère cheese bread had a nice crust and pillowy inside. It was cheesy and real good. The Morning Glory muffin was moist and packed with carrots. I would have skipped the sugar glaze on top, but it was fine. The lady at the counter was efficient. She must have been tired as there were a lot of people. It's a nice cafe that thrives in a downtown area that's filled with antique shops, cafes and restaurants. read more

Enjoyed my first visit at this Snohomish bakery. Ordered a loaf of Gruyère cheese bread and morning glory muffin. The cheese bread was so good. You even see some specks of Gruyère on the bread. Nice crust and soft bread. Would love to try other pastries they offer. Nice clean coffee house. Lots to offer from breakfast to lunch like salad and sandwiches. read more

What a great selection! Friendly service. You can sit inside or outside and both have good accommodations. It was a tad too loud on the inside so I recommend the outside. read more

I think this company only does well at farmers markets because people don't know any better. I only found out about them through the farmers market at the waterfront in Des Moines. I've been purchasing the Gruyère cheese bread for a few years now at the farmers market. However, this year the bread is horribly baked!!!! Nothing compared to the last couple of years! My kids like the cheesy bread. I wanna say 80% of it is burnt! Kinda like a crust. Also the employees are condescending and unprofessional! I wish I would have reacted to what was being said to me! Consider themselves lucky because I paid with cash, otherwise I would dispute the purchase! read more

The food was great as always. The service was really questionable. Not sure if this is a management thing or not but the young lady has not been trained on multi-tasking and follow-up. She never returned to ask if we needed anything else after delivery of the food by someone other than her. We had no water and my brother as well as father were not offered a refill of decaf. She never knew how our food was since she never came back to ask. Perhaps this is because she was the only one waiting on ALL 16 tables. Unacceptable as the food bill was over $150.00. I understand things are more expensive but I would expect better service with the higher cost. I think this is a management problem as nobody should have to wait on 16 tables. Perhaps a change is needed. read more

We had a half order of biscuits and gravy, croissant sandwich with sausage and bacon, and an almon croissant for just under $30. The food was all really good. The gravy wasn't too heavy with good flavor you would expect from breakfast gravy while the biscuit was light and more fluffy than a normal biscuit, almost more muffin-like. The sandwich was on par with what you would expect from a breakfast croissant sandwich. The sausage was sliced link's and the bacon thick cut and perfectly crisped. The almost croissant had some structure to it" crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a buttery filling. It wasn't very busy when we came so we didn't have a long wait in line or waiting for our food. read more

Snohomish Bakery at First & Union - A Cozy Step Back in Time Walking into Snohomish Bakery at First & Union feels like stepping into a simpler, slower-paced era--the kind where you meet friends and family over a coffee in an actual mug, not a to-go cup. It's a true hometown spot, where the friendly staff make you feel like longtime friends. We enjoyed the turkey provolone sandwich, a classic done right, along with a perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookie and a rich, smooth white mocha. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Their bread selection caught my eye--well-priced and clearly baked with the same quality and craftsmanship as everything else. I'll definitely be back for more! Whether you're catching up with a loved one or just soaking in the charm of Snohomish, this bakery is the kind of place that reminds you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend! read more

Looking for a brunch spot we wanted to try First & Union, but the place was packed so we were advised to go to the bakery side which was the same kitchen and nearly the same menu with a few limitations (no burgers, no egg dishes other than a quiche). it is very limited compared to the main restaurant. The pastry case displays a lot of wonderful baked goods. we grabbed a bunch of croissants to go with our brunch and it did not disappoint. Ordering the meals was a bit odd. They asked for our order at the bakery case while we were in line and then after ordering and adding our croissant, they told us sandwiches and other meals had to be ordered at the register. Onto the food. 1) Turkey and provolone - this was heaping with turkey and it was a good sandwich. 2) Chicken tarragon salad sandwich. The chicken salad was good. I was not expecting a grilled version on raisin bread. i would have preferred my chicken salad cold on a bread choice to my picking. Don't get me wrong, the sandwich was good, but it was a surprise. 3) French toast....this was the star of the dishes. Thick, fluffy, flavor packed and paired so well with the sausage (i subbed sausage instead of bacon). I would eat this again: breakfast, lunch or dinner. 4) The pickle spears were oddly mushy and had no signs of a crunch factor. Overall, I would come back again for a french toast, sandwich or pastry. if you order a sandwich just be sure to ask for bread options and ask to see if its a hot or cold sandwich otherwise you may be surprised. read more

We just got home from the Edmonds Farmer's Market and got pastries from Snohomish Bakery. We were so excited to dig in and they are inedible. They are clearly old and the almond croissant was so hard I couldn't cut through it. They weren't cheap either! read more

Tasty treats but some are a little pricey. We got a couple apple fritters, a cinnamon roll, a pear pastry, and an almond croissant at the Issaquah Famers Market. We would have it again bc they were tasty but maybe discount items at the end of the market. read more

Saw the sign for this bakery off of highway 9 and decided to check it out. In a beautiful old building, love the rustic charm. My review is only on the bakery side since I didn't dine in. Cases were filled with bread, cookies, croissants, etc. around 11a on a Friday. I scored the last sourdough baguette at a terrific price at $3.50! I also got a plain croissant around the same price which is unheard of in this economy. The baguette was amazing with butter & jam. The croissant was out of this world. I plan to return soon! Also the young lady who helped me was so kind & friendly. She even started up a quick friendly chat. Love that! read more

I've had some delicious twice baked croissant and fruit pastries here. But seriously disappointed with other items. Recently had carrot cake. It was very bland. The frosting tasted like crisco. Where's the spices, sugar, cream cheese? Honestly thought maybe they made a mistake with the recipe? Hopefully that's the case and this isn't their usual carrot cake. Would also love to see more variety, creativity. The case tends to have the same items. Choux choux in Everett is a better option. read more

Got the almond croissant which was dry and stale (which makes sense for almond croissant) but wish they offered the option to get it reheated because when I did so myself it was 10x better. The filling was overwhelmingly sweet but almond taste fairly prominent. The snickerdoodle was nice and soft with a crispy outside. Could use some more cinnamon flavor but overall solid cookie. Ambience is like a cute small bakery cafe. It is adjacent to their restaurant. Workers were super friendly despite having a packed line. read more

Food service on the patio was a 2 today on a scale of 1-10. Long wait time before we saw a server, no silverware or napkins ( had to get them ourselves), order was put in wrong so we had to wait even longer. Server addressed us as"my friend". I've never met her so I think it was rather inappropriate. Just not great or even good service. read more

This place is one of the best in the area for breakfast! I am so shocked by the lower rating. Some people are critical. I've been here twice now and everything is always amazing! Food is fantastic with homemade bread and pastries. I think this will be our new breakfast place. So good! read more

Not real helpful but kind once we had their attention. Coffee's were ok/ decent but pastries were delicious! read more

Ordered to go and got a sourdough baguette, a sour cherry croissant and a Gruyère bread loaf thing. All were great but wow, that Gruyère loaf was AMAZING. My tummy rumbles as I imagine the beautiful moment I took my first bite. Good times. Prices were pretty normal IMO and there is ample seating inside and out if you want to enjoy your baked goods there. I'll need to read the bad reviews since the overall star rating isn't great, but I personally was a fan and will probably go back read more

This place is amazing. Bakery items are done to perfection any review that says otherwise has become used to crappy over baked, burnt crap from places like Maltby Cafe. The service is meh, wanted to get bread but said it's not ready and to "comeback in.... I don't know." Drip coffee is also on point. Ambiance is relaxed, dark and calming. Solid place and will be coming back. read more

I've been here numerous times in the past 19 years. The Greek salad I had and the latte were both good. The service from the barista was very rude. I ordered the salad and the coffee at the same time and was told the food would be delivered to my table. I heard my name called but didn't recall giving my name when I ordered. When I stood up to retrieve my coffee that hadn't arrived, the barista told me with some disgust that she had called me and there was no drink available. When I asked for one to be made, she said there were others ahead of mine. She then made it and didn't tell me when it was done. When I picked it up it was an afterthought on her part. I manage two coffee shops for a business account and would be horrified if any of my 9 baristas acted this way. read more

Second to the worst Reuben I've ever gotten. You're supposed to drain the sauerkraut before you put it on the bread otherwise it just turns into a soggy mess on one side, which is what I got. The amount of corned beef was generous. I bet it would have been a good sandwich if I could have eaten it without it falling all over the plate. The pasta salad was a joke, just pasta with Italian seasonings sprinkled on it. read more

Consistently good, reliable quality and experience. A little tight on space and can be loud. Brioche french toast was DEElicious. read more

@Andy Papadatos -- the woman working in Edmonds market today delivered some of the worst customer service I've seen in a long time. Long long time. You gotta fix that. I hope you use this as a teaching moment for the rest of the team -- she's a textbook example of how not to treat customers. Snohomish Bakery should be better than this. read more

We got a bunch of baked items for breakfast on a girl date Saturday Farmer's Market run! We tried their almond croissant, pistachio cookie and the butter croissant. The croissants were bigger than our faces and we enjoyed them while walking around the farmers market. The folks behind the counter were super kind too! read more

Maybe the restaurant side is better but the Bakery/Cafe side should be a hard pass. They fail to even hit tourist trap mediocrity level of service and quality. The food looks delicious but who wants to eat raw puff pastry. Stick to croissants but it seems like everything with a filling is very undercooked. Breads look good but you can get a better product for less at a supermarket. Service isn't great. The staff does not know what was going on. If you ask for something warm depending on the server, you will either be pointed to a microwave or a server will microwave it for you (but look annoyed if a customer is using it). It should be a crime to microwave pastry anyway. At least have a toaster oven, if you're too cheap to properly reheat croissants. For so little service to the customer, I get offended when the pay screen asks for a tip. You told me to use a microwave to heat up my food. The cafe was dark and a number of tables were left messy. Reminded me of a cafe in a strip mall I went to in the mid 1990s with bare minimum country style that was out of date back then. read more

Yummy baked goods!! I love not only visiting this shop but the whole street and amphitheater is amazing. Get your sweet treats now!

We purchased four pastries, lemon blueberry crescent, pear crescent, bread pudding cupcake and a orange cranberry scone. So far the lemon blueberry crescent was good not excellent. The bread pudding cupcake was a total disappointment, who puts chocolate in bread pudding??? WTF. I'll repost when we eat the last two pastries. read more

This restaurant bakery is excellent. Try the eggs Bennie its lox, sooo good. Staff is helpful with good service.

The garlic fougasse is so garlicy and delicious! I visit the bakery's stands at the Snohomish and Edmonds Farmers Markets. They usually have a customer or two and sometimes a line! I come early just for the garlic fougasse and the pear almond croissants. The fougasse is so irresistible that I snack on it and finish it quickly. Recently I didn't finish the fougasse in the first two days and it hardened up of course. A few google searches advised I run it under water and bake it again to get it nice and fresh. I air fried it instead and it came out so fluffy and delicious that I think it should actually be a bit fluffier. I love this fougasse but fluffing it up made it amazing. I paired it with a butternut squash soup and had the best pre Fall meal. I always make sure to also pick up two pear almond croissants for my husband and me because I am definitely not sharing this one but I think it's the most amazing thing so I want him to enjoy one too! It's similar to a cheese danish IMO but the pear taste is so subtle and almost floral like that it's 100 xs better. It's the perfect amount of sweetness and the pastry is nice and fluffy with a slight crunch to it. I've tried a few other baked goods from here and they've all been very good. All around $5 each and all have been worth it. read more

I've always loved this place... it's my go to especially when I have my pug with me. The pastries are fresh. The coffee is hot and the help is always helpful. I love their outdoor patio with people and other dog owners and their pals. read more

My all time favorite pastries are their sour cherry pastry and the everything bagel croissant. It's a hit every time I bring it to work for my fellow coworkers. If you like savory, get the everything bagel croissant it's addicting... Another standout is their carrot cake. It's definitely worth the $7 it's not too sweet and loaded with yummy cream cheese frosting and nuts. Love the strong and hot self serve coffee and my hubby really enjoyed his small green salad. The veggies were amazingly fresh and every cafe item we got came with a good helping of house made toast. Their lunch quiche was decent.. the cinnamon raisin toast that came with it was super yummy. I enjoyed coming to have a quick breakfast or early lunch here before my errand run. Thanks for the friendly and quick service. They may not be over the top friendly but they get the job done. The first and union restaurant across the hall serve up amazing breakfasts. Love the egg benny's (salmon lox and the seasonal mushroom are the best!) Parking can be a pain at times but worth circling around 6-7 times til you find a spot! Love this one stop shop for good pastries, cakes, breakfast and quick meal before my errand run. Will try to make Snohomish Bakery my weekly go to! read more

we waited 30 min for an Americano. and they messed up our order so we had to wait an additional 10 more minutes for our latte. they don't warm up the pastries and the service was far from great. Management needs to hire more people. the coffee is good but not worth 40 min wait. read more

Meh! The employees were nice and good, but the pastry itself was pretty mediocre. I got an apple fritter. It was very dry, hardly any apple pieces and far too much stuck to the paper it was cooked in. read more

We have been to this restaurant many times for breakfast and have enjoyed it however, yesterday we were there before 9 AM with out of state guests so we requested a-table of six and were told they only have one, and it had just been taken. Since we had a toddler that can't wait too long, we asked if we could have a table for four and the two men would sit at a separate adjoining table. The staff seemed exasperated and impatient, and told us no, we would just have to wait for the table of six that had not even yet ordered. We decided to leave and we tried Jake's for the first time and their food was very good and that will be our new breakfast location . Sad that we were treated like that, Since their food is average. read more

First I have to say I am really puzzled by the bad reviews of this bakery. I almost didn't go in, but the bakery I had wanted to visit was low on treats and I decided to give Snohomish Bakery a look. This is a big shop, with the bakery cafe on one side and their restaurant on the other side. Seems like a pleasant place to dine in. I can only speak to what we bought to go for taste, but everything in their pastry cases looked delicious. We got a Jewish Rye (they will slice for you upon request), and oat scone and a Morning Glory muffin. The Spouse and I are rye bread snobs. We have eaten it far and wide and it's probably both of our favorite sandwich bread. This rye bread was really excellent in its soft center, chewy crust and plentiful seeds. I would buy this loaf again without hesitation. My morning glory muffin was just sweet enough, with all of the required chunks and textures. Spouse gave his scone two thumbs up. Service was fine, it's young people working a food service job. They were perfectly lovely and got our bread loaf sliced. Honestly, ignore the weirdly poor reviews. read more

Juana gets 5 stars for being so kind. 2.5 stars for the baked items. Negative stars for Greta the manager. Bought the Grueyere bread and they packed it for us behind the counter and I didn't see it. Got home and opened it up and it was BURNED. Black on outside and hard. We buy this bread frequently when they have their farmers market booth so we know it's meant to be pillows soft with a slight crust. Called to ask if I could please bring it back and Greta yelled on the phone, " That's what happens when the oven is too cold and we bake something!!!" I said, "Um. Well, I don't like it and it's burned." She huffed and said if I brought it back I would never again get to do that with any other pastry ever again. Um... ok? Anyhow, if she's this mean to customers, how does she treat her staff? Juana gave me a new bread when I came in and I thanked her profusely. No questions and with a smile. Give that sweet girl a raise! read more

Came to Edmonds Farmer's Market for the first time today where I had Snohomish Bakery. The black cherry croissant was dry rather than flaky/crispy. As buttery as it tasted, one would expect laminations that create a crispy texture, but this was dry so I suspect they make pastries in bulk, and, therefore, not as fresh. read more
