Stopped here on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint! I had the BBQ chicken panini with a salad and it was delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The outside sitting area is quaint and comfortable overlooking the lake/river. They also have other items for sale like fresh pastries, coffee, and more. read more

The clam chowder soup was great. No crackers though. Plain bread that would have been better if they toasted it. The cookies are very good.

Camped in Pateros after backpacking in the Sawtooth Lakes area. We stopped in at the bakery as soon as it opened for the day. OH YUM! I got the bear claw and husband got the blueberry turnover. The flakiness of the pastry on both is among the best I've had (says someone whose worked at many top rated bakeries). So soft, so flaky, so full of flavor. The almond paste in the bear claw was still warm. Mmmmmm. DEFINITELY recommend stopping in, even if you aren't currently hungry! read more

Five stars for the pastries!! Quite possibly the best we've ever had! The layering the flakiness... it cant be topped! Stop by even if you're not ready and eat one later! read more

On a road trip, stoped for a quick bite was very happy to find this spot. Friendly service and good sandwich on nice sour fresh bread. Would suggest little less mayo for the chicken salad. And little more pesto in the aioli. read more

Sweet River Bakery was a wonderful surprise while visiting Pateros. Great outdoor seating and wonderful pastry.

Impromptu stop to stretch our legs at the river park, and decided to grab lunch here. Everybody wearing masks. Takeout only but a bunch of tables well spread out in the back (6-7 in the shade) or you can eat along the river. Everything was excellent - chicken salad, sweet ham and cheese and pesto BLT were all yummy as was a whole fresh French bread. Couldn't resist getting a cinnamon bun - perfection; well, maybe a little too sweet and could only eat the outer rim but so worth the indulgence. I'll finish it off later! read more

Fresh ingredients! A twist on classics. My husband and I were driving through town, and we ordered the spicy breakfast sandwich and the balsamic club. The food was awesome! Friendly service too! We'll definitely be back. read more

Normally we really love this place, but our experience today was horrible. We ordered online and received confirmation to pick up in 20 minutes. We arrived, checked in and waited. Waited another 10 minutes, asked again and the girl at the counter said 'we are really busy with other tickets', so we sat and continued waiting. Another 15 minutes goes by so I ask again at the counter and he turns around and grabs our order. I asked if it had been sitting there a while and he said 'yes it's been ready for a bit'. I told him this was the 3rd time I'd checked in and asked about my order. No apology, just handed me the order and said 'have a good day' Pretty frustrating to not get an apology at all, and have our food and coffee be lukewarm at best. This business needs a way better method to keep their orders straight and called out in a more timely way. read more

Greatest sandwiches and top notch service. This is the third time we have ordered here and the BLT and the turkey jalapeño sandwiches are our go too. Love the pickle on the side! Thank you for providing outdoor music on the weekends but most importantly thank you for supporting the local wineries! You are an amazing and wonderful bud tasting establishment! read more

I stopped here on my way from the Okanagan wine region in BC to Seattle. I had a really nice breakfast sandwich and coffee. Tasty. And the service was very friendly and professional. A nice little gem. read more

What a find. On our way to Winthrop we were starved so stopped quickly for a sandwich. The most amazing chicken salad on fresh baked bread I have ever had. This is our new mist stop at every time we come this way. All the baked sweets and breads looked tasty. Can't wait to stop on our way home in a few days. read more

Really great breakfast sandwiches, good coffee, and a nice outdoor section to enjoy the river view.

I can't believe there's no pie! Think of the holiday time income! But alas, it is not meant to be. Breakfast burrito - yes, please. BLT - amazing. Staff is usually friendly. read more

We had some really good pizza in the last place you would expect it, this town doesn't really have anything in it, but be warned it gets crowded for good reason. Fresh pizza great dough good sauce wurd! read more

When one travels the imfamous cascade loop, they must stop here to experience the amazing baked goods. Especially if the traveler happens to be baked. The assortment of fresh baked danishes and cinnamon rolls will surely impress. The coffee is great. Customer service was on point and void of any hillbilly stereotypes, prejudices or racist undertones. Five stars. read more

While driving in between Wenatchee and Omak, my friend and I stopped in here for a pitstop. We were hoping to catch the live bands that they have here, but they were just breaking down when we go there. Next time! Looks like a small and nice place for music. They were set up outside in the back. After using the loo, we picked up some sustenance for the remainder of our drive along the Columbia River to Omak; sustenance being sweets and beer! ;) I believe I picked up a cinnamon roll (I needed energy to finish off the drive!). We also looked at their bottle beer selection---wanted something for later at my friend's house. They had some nice choices of local brews. I went with a couple bottles from Iron Horse Brewery of Ellensburg. The staff here were also very nice in a small town way. read more

Sweet River Bakery and Espresso is the kind of place you expect to find in an upscale neighborhood in Portland or Seattle (or any neighborhood in Bellingham), but here it sits where the Methow meets the Columbia in the southern end of Okanogan County, Washington. We stop there almost every time we drive to Wenatchee, which means at least a couple of times a month. This is not a place with a large selection or menu, but everything is artisan quality. The coffee is Blue Star, roasted up the Methow Valley in Twisp. I wish more espresso bars in Okanogan County would use this exceptionally smooth roast. The sandwich menu uses their Five-Grain Round Loaf by default, but you can ask for any other bread in supply (sometime there is a gluten-free choice, but you might have to buy the whole loaf to get it). The beer, wine, and hard cider choices are almost all from a 50-mile radius. I've yet to try the pizza, but I believe the rave reviews from others. If you are driving US 97 through Pateros, Sweet River Bakery is a must! read more

Heard about this place on KOZI radio last week and stopped in during a business trip to Pateros. It smelled great walking in, staff was friendly, there were several tables of people in the small dining room, and I really liked the local selection of wines and locally roasted coffee that they serve (Blue Star). I wasn't that hungry so I just got a cinnamon roll and hot tea; both were great! Great selection of teas, BTW. read more

Love this place! Friendly staff! Amazing hours! Great food and tons of variety for a cafe! :) oh and the coffee is also great because it's Blue Star from Twisp! Definitely head here if you're passing through Pateros! read more

My wife and I are from Seattle but vacation in Pateros frequently. We were told about this place by friends a couple of years ago and now always make it a point to come back. The staff is always friendly, there is plenty of seating inside and outside. We have only been for breakfast and coffee. Their breakfast sandwich is fabulous, served on toasted bread that they make fresh each day. Every pastry we have had has been amazing as well. We have never been for lunch or dinner but outside they have a stage for live music or other entertainment which we will try when we can. read more

Homemade goodness, end of story. The pastries, delicious. The coffee, great The pizza, super tasty The folks behind the counter are very friendly. The location is great as it's en route from Chelan to Brewster. The backyard area is amazing, right on the river, lots of tables, grass, a bandstand (thankfully I've never been there when there's a band). read more

I have never had a flakier, most delicious pastry. At least as far as I can tell. Apologies for not having photographic evidence, as I basically inhaled my apple turnover. read more

Excellent food and service! Pizza, sandwiches and bakery items were really good! Friendly staff and great service! Happy to support this small business :) read more

We have been to Sweet River Bakery many times. They carry Blue Star coffee which is fantastic. They have a great breakfast burrito. We have enjoyed pizza and salads on a number of occasions. Their fresh baked goods are fantastic. The customer service used to be very good. I have noticed a decline over the last couple of years. We were there this last Sunday and the barista interpreted a drink incorrectly. Or maybe we ordered wrong online . We wanted a peppermint tea. Instead they gave us a black tea with peppermint syrup. I am not sure who even drinks that. She was quite rude about the miscommunication. In the end, one person was trying to charge us for both drinks and the barista said that was not necessary. We certainly appreciated this but her rudeness was definitely not appreciated. This is the second time we have had drinks made very strangely. Maybe they need more training? Guessing they need more staff like everybody else? We will still go back but it is sad to see the quality declining as a result of poor customer service. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! Going to be back for sure!!!! Especially the dessert pizza, my kids and us adults, loved it! Plus live music

A great little bakery/espresso/lunch stop on the way home from playing in the snow in the Mazama area. We had a couple outstanding sandwiches and took home chocolate chip cookies and a beautiful Hello Dolly square of heaven. I highly recommend that you try this bakery if you are anywhere in the area. Can't wait to go back. Nice, friendly staff. read more

I was really excited to try Sweet River Bakery out because our local radio station gives it rave reviews. However, my frappe was the worst coffee I have had in a long time. Tasted like and felt like I was drinking sugar syrup. My mom and I both couldn't drink our drinks. We went out to the patio to sit for a while and left early because it was all dirty and dilapidated and not nearly as nice as it looked from the inside. However, the staff was super friendly and the bread we bought was good! Still, I don't plan on going back. read more

Sandwiches here are excellent and creative. Have so far eaten here 3 times, and every time have enjoyed my experience. Love the fact that they put on live music and even karaoke events too. Free Wi-Fi is a very nice plus as well. read more

Very disappointed in the food here. One grilled cheese sandwich was merely 2 pieces of bread with some unmelted cheese in between, nothing remotely close to grilled. My vegetable soup was completely bland, hardly any flavor. Nothing close to the 5 star reviews others gave, we will not be returning. read more

Pateros Washington has a shortage of restaurants. SweetRiver Bakery is a treat for patrons of this little town. I ordered the 1/2 chicken salad sandwich with soup. The 1/2 sandwich was huge. Made on homemade white bread. I loved it!! I will recommend SweetRiver Bakery to friends. read more

Cafe mocha and package of cranberry orange biscotti (4 small pieces) - $9.88; After a long drive, I saw this bakery and needed a coffee. I got there about noon and the selection of pastries were minimal. I decided on a package of homemade biscotti which were pretty good. Mocha was so-so, nothing spectacular. Service was slow, considering she answered the phone to take a supply order with two customers waiting. read more

This place has the BEST coconut macaroons! We ordered that and a molasses cookie, cinnamon twist and the blueberry fritter. So good and the staff was so nice and kind. First time here and will definitely make it a stop each time we come thru! Grabbed a menu so next time we can call ahead and try one of the yummy sandwiches or pizzas in the menu! read more

We drove out of our way to have lunch here on our way home to Oregon. Stopped here last August and were impressed. But not this time. We were the only ones there, made our order, lots of people came in after us. All received their food, ate and left. 40 minutes later we are still waiting for our soup & sandwiches. When I stood in line to ask where our food was, they had lost our order. By this time they were out of the soup we ordered. We should have asked for a refund and left (you pay up front when you give your order at the counter, they give you a buzzer to come pick it up when it's ready, it's serve yourself all the way). I feel stupid to have given a 15% tip up front. Never again. No apology, no compensation. The French bread looked good except for the flies. The soup we got was luke warm. We were an hour later getting home, it was a long day made longer. We won't make this mistake again. read more

Whatever you do, don't go here if you have a nut allergy. We specifically told them my son was severely allergic to all nuts and they made him a sandwich with pesto mayo on 5 grain bread with nuts in it. A restaurant HAS to be more sensitive and aware or something very bad will happen one day. Asked for no spinach on my sandwich and it was littered with it. Don't serve pizza till after 3pm. They have a nice outdoor seating area out back but otherwise not a fan. read more

Love this place! The cinnamon roll was so good I had to toss aside the gluten intolerance. It was worth it! read more

Good food nice people fair price for the amount of delicious food you get.convient ,easy parking ,outside seating if weather permits . Cinnamon rolls looked awesome.all kinds of pastries , sandwiches and great coffee read more

If you're driving through the area like we were, I definitely recommend this spot. We were very happy with our sandwiches and made it a point to skip the breakfast at Sun Mountain Lodge to stop by this bakery again on the way home. The regular BLT+Turkey was exactly what you want after a long drive. read more

Sweet River is one of our few can't-miss stops along our way. Great food, morning and night, and great folks too.

Amazing. I will travel from Seattle for their cinnamon rolls and bread . A small town with the best bakery nationwide.
