My husband and I were just walking by and saw a great outdoor seating area so we thought we'd go in a check out the menu, and we are so glad we did! Great vegetarian dinner options and one of our favorite beers on tap (spacedust), and a live band in the garden. We are from out of town but could feel the local vibe and enjoyed the family atmosphere and view of the beautiful river. Would highly recommend! read more

We stayed in Methow for a long weekend and stopped in here for breakfast on our way home it was so yummy and fresh! We called in our order and everything was correct! Definitely coming back! read more

Being a local of central Washington my entire life. My kids and I love their Pizza. Best in the valley stretching from Leavenworth to Oroville . Priced just right. I'll keep going back as long as it stays great From your dedicated customer read more

Got the pesto BLT, italian sub, and turkey sandwiches. Pesto BLT was the bomb.. but also maybe because i was hungry? Took a long time for sandwiches to be ready (long line too). Got an apple log too because apparently I shop with my eyes when Im hungry.. didnt disappoint. It was good. So sad I had to share it with my husband and kids. read more

Great outdoor seating. Amazing sandwiches on delicious bread. We really liked the meatball and the Pesto BLT. Sandwiches come with a salad which was unexpectedly fresh and good quality. We ate here every day during our weekend trip to the Pateros area. read more

We were just passing through and found this cute bakery. Really cute little place with delicious food! The sandwiches are big and I am glad I ordered the half! A whole sandwich would have been way too much. Very charming outdoor seating, with shaded tables. Worth the stop! read more

Took a day trip to lake Alta. Great warm water and nice location. Stopped by the Sweetriver , turned out they had fire baked thick crust pizza. We had some of the best pizza I've ever had. Maybe some of those gourmet places in big cities can beat this. But around here it was awesome. I was mad because we ordered a small and it was gone in minutes. As we were leaving I saw a man sit down by himself with his own large pizza and two beers. Although dad and envious I told myself there would be a next time. read more

Almost a four star. Had a mocha , hot bun, and breakfast sandwich. Get there early, like 6:30 or the hot buns will be cold. Sandwich was made with microwaved egg. read more

Lovely coffee place. Has a lake view and nice outdoor seating. Their coffee is great. Only complain I have is that there is credit fee which I was not told before I use my card. Wish a casher told me beforehand... read more

We have been going for years in July on a Friday as we pass and park our trailers and stay along the street. It use to be a great place with good entertainment and pizza. The food is still OK but the entertainment and all else has passed. Also as of this trip you will be charged $.50 to use a credit card and in addition they have a "Rounding Fee"... So we went on Friday night and Saturday morning. Friday $.50 + a Rounding Fee of $.02. Saturday $.50 + Rounding fee of $.01. You may think its not a big deal but think about how many people they do this to on a daily basis. Yes, it costs money to take a credit card. Put that in your prices or give a cash discount. I hate it when businesses nickle and dime with fees. read more

A gem along the Columbia river, 20 miles north of Chelan, offering scrumptious baked goods made from scratch daily. On our latest visit we were offered a macaroon "left in the oven just a minute or two extra to add a bit of a crunch" -- which contrasted with the creamy, super moist insides. OMG -- best macaroon EVER. We also enjoyed delicious blueberry scones. Good lattes, free wi-fi and sandwiches too. Stop in and give 'em a try next time your cruising by on highway 97. read more

Got a fruit cup and the fruit was rotten. The cashier seemed like he expected it to be bad. He checked the rest of the fruit cups and they were all rotten. The croissant we got upset my wife's stomach. Wouldn't go here again. read more

Popped in yesterday so I wanted to add a quick update: they are now offering pizza and have applied for a liquor license. JP grabbed a blue star coffee and bear claw for the road. read more

We stayed in Pateros for two days and LOVED your bakery. We purchased pizza and I had soup. It was all delicious. We will come back thank you read more

Good sandwiches and pastries and a nice outdoor patio for enjoying lunch.

A wonderful fresh green salad with chicken, an outside table, and friendly service. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Pretty darn great!! Stopped in after a long weekend of camping at Concunully. Breakfast sandwiches were perfectly cheesy. Coffee was good and much needed! Definitely a great little bakery! read more

Very cute place. We took a salad, sandwich, and grilled cheese sandwich. Food was very good. There was an issue with the toilet so they only had porta potties which was inconvenient. The salad was served in a basket which was a bit inconvenient. We sat outside in the shade, which was lovely, but inside there aren't many tables so keep it in mind on not nice days read more

This bakery is wonderful. Great customer service. High quality food. They also carry Blue Star coffee, which is now my dad's and husband's favorite since I continued to gift them with yummy samples on my work trips. read more

Great bakery. Mango turnover yummy, latte just the way I like and customer service is excellent.

Really nice little bakery / coffee shop that would prosper no matter where it was located. Friendly staff, clean tidy seating area and a worthwhile selection of baked goods. read more

Went in for lunch on Friday at 2pm. Somehow the bakery was out of bread. Actually, we were told the bread was too fresh out of the oven to slice. So we opted for wraps. After 25 min (enough time for bread to cool in my opinion) our wraps finally came out. But only one of the two orders was correct. We just ate and left. read more

This place had it really going on with awesome food entertainment and atmosphere. Last couple of years the food is all it has and it is awesome! If the overall degradation continues at the current rate next year I would give it 1 star. Had it been kind of a dive from the start And it was all about the food I get it but it wasn't. read more

We were 8 hungry bike riders who had just ridden 60 miles. We heard they were serving pizza and had beer and wine, so what the heck? We were absolutely floored by the pizza. The salad was adequate; they like to "keep it simple" This is truly artisan pizza. the crust was perfect. the red sauce unique, flavorful and memorable. The toppings were perfectly balanced. In other words, the best pizza we have ever had. the brownie and ice cream was very enjoyable and we can hardly wait to try breakfast tomorrow. read more

Any review before 2010 doesn't reflect the current reality: Sweet River Bakery is stellar for bread (truly artisan), pastries (original and satisfying, not lardy), and pizza (ethereal). They also have superb espresso, and the sandwiches and soups are great. It's true that Pateros is sadly lacking in great food EXCEPT for Sweet River Bakery. Imagine the best fresh, yeasty, flavorful bread you've ever had, transmogrified into a pizza crust topped with fresh, fresh ingredients creatively combined and spiced. You automatically close your eyes and swoon at the first bite, thinking, "Can I really be in Pateros???" There's been a significant shift in management, cooking style, and offerings, and they've added wine, beer, and live music in the evenings. Their patio overlooks Lake Pateros and is right next to the park. Sweet River Bakery is actually worth a side trip if you're up in the area. read more

Stopped in here just to check the place out and decided to stay and eat when they said they offered gluten free bread options. I had a ham and cheese grilled sandwich that was great especially since you never know what your gonna get with gluten free bread. read more

In this adorable small town this bakery is a GEM! I love looking for small quirky businesses-sweet river bakery is talented. Not only is their fresh baked bread light and delicious, their salad dressing rocks, the pizza was perfect (I ordered the green one), and the BROWNIE WAS TO DIE FOR!! It was crispy on the outside and tasted like there was double fudge frosting throughout the entire middle. They have beer and coffee and smoothies. Everything I need to survive!! Loved loved loved it!! read more

Went for lunch one day while vacationing, it was really good. We decided to go back for dinner, I ordered a personal pan pizza and my husband ordered a calzone. After waiting 40 minutes I went to ask about our order, I was told it would be another 20 minutes. Finally after an hour of waiting and a family of 4, who ordered after us got their food, I asked for a refund. No explanation and no apology. Very disappointed! read more

My wife and i decided to spend our memorial day weekend in pateros away from the crowds of lake chelan,what a good choice that was.Everything is within walking distance of the motel we were staying.So we took a walk and stoped in at kodi's the local tavern,not much happening there so we left,as we were leaving we heard some live music,we discovered it was comming from The Sweet River Bakery,so we grabbed one of the open tables outside in the back,ordered a couple of beers and a pizza.The service was awesome and the pizza was even better. After the live music was over they started up with karaoke.We had a very wonderful time,some of the other establishments in the area should take some notes from Sweet River Bakery.We will highly recommend this place to all our friends. read more

Sweet river Bakery is awesome the food the service is great it is a must to have one of their pizzas. We has several meals there and we never had a bad one. The service and staff were great, Great music outside on weekends would tell anyone who is coming to the area or through it to stop and have some of their baked goodness. read more

After a few hours of driving, we decided to stop for lunch. We pulled into a parking lot in Pateros because we saw there were a couple options. We decided on SweetRiver Bakery and were not disappointed. Everything about this place was great. The employees were very friendly, the latte was wonderful and our sandwiches were out of this world fantastic! If we lived closer, we'd be there weekly (at least)! We don't get to that neck of the woods often, but it was so good, I think next time I'm in Wenatchee, it's worth the drive up for lunch! read more

Awesome pit stop on the way to Twisp. Sandwiches were legit and they had some good gluten free options (we had both). Good wine / beer / cider options. Cool staff. read more

They always have great service, good coffee, free wifi, and awesome food. I'm a regular here, when I'm in town. The pizza is delicious! When they have live music, it's a great place to sit outside and relax. read more

Stopped in for lunch on the way to Rolling Huts and was not disappointed. Great selection of local beer, cider, wine, and coffee and delicious roasted sandwiches. It was great to know there is a quick, great-tasting food option! Highly recommend. read more

We very much liked our sandwiches that we got here. Nice service as well. We got some granola and coffee to go that we were also quite pleased with. read more

If it weren't for the fruit flies I'd give it a 5 star. Not just a bakery, stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a sweet treat

We found the selections minimal, the staff were not friendly; Pastries left out in the open, flies were flying around and landing on them. The people in line in front of us, were getting their pastries (i.e cinnamon rolls) put into take out contrainers where it wouldn't get smashed and when we ordered, got thrown into a bag haphazardly. Would not return here again read more

I have been a frequent customer of SRB through their ups and downs over many years. They have been really good at times and not very good at other times. Unfortunately they are in a not very good period right now. I have stopped in 3 times recently and found the baked offerings extremely limited and of poor quality. The service at the bakery is lousy with an "I don't care" attitude prevailing. I try to support local business' when I can and usually cut them some slack. However, 3 strikes is my limit of tolerance for bad experiences. I'm done with Sweet River for the time being. read more

My Mosaic choir and I were in Pateros for a benefit concert on Saturday May16th and we stopped at this bakery for coffee and ended up getting a great homemade breakfast sandwich, made while we waited. We also tried the cinnamon twist pastry...oh and yes we got coffee. The outside patio was great, facing the Methow River and the park where the concert was being held. read more

not only a great place to eat but listening to music outdoors with a view of the columbia river is pretty special. they have a small amphitheatre and serve beer and wine. it seems like the whole town comes. what a great atmopsphere read more
