The famous kouign-amann completely lived up to the hype with its caramelized, flaky perfection, and the raspberry croissant was rich and vibrant. Paired with a well-crafted mocha, it made for a fantastic treat. Plus, having spotlessly clean bathrooms is always an appreciated bonus. A must-visit bakery if you are anywhere near downtown Olympia.

Scones tasted good and were better than expected. Location is small but that was not an issue, since we took our items to go. Price is fair for being gluten free. The owner was the one who greeted and served us and was pleasant. He answered my questions and was polite.

We ordered the avocado toast, chickpea sandwich, and coffee, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, satisfying, and paired perfectly with the excellent coffee, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch. Service was quick and friendly, and our order arrived promptly. The atmosphere is the real standout. The café has a huge indoor space with multiple seating areas, each featuring its own unique décor and vibe, so there's something for everyone--whether you're catching up with friends, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a quiet coffee break. If you're in the area, The Owl's Nest is a café I'd highly recommend.

They had a variety of items from cookies to croissants to bread. I ordered: Ham and cheese croissant - standard Brioche roll - decent Croissant fritter - the highlight of this bakery - it is soooo good. Flakey, pull apart, flavorful. Price was reasonable as well. There was only one person working so that's probably why it takes some time. It looks like they have a restaurant here as well and I heard it gets crowded too. If I'm in the area, I might come back to try their other stuff.

I've been following this business for years on Facebook and finally was able to give it a try. My…read morehusband stopped in and picked up a six pack of macarons and a thumbprint cookie. We rated our macrons as follows: Butter beer 7/10 Brownie Batter 10/10 - I could eat more of these. They tasted just like a brownie Birthday cake 7/10 Cookies and cream 8/10 Red Velvet 8/10 Fruity Pebbles 8/10 - this was super good, had more of a lemon flavor to it which we weren't expecting Overall a super cute bakery. I did put it at four stars because the customer service was lacking a little bit. The young woman at the front wasn't super friendly and when I asked what kind of jam was on the top of the thumbprint she said she didn't know. I chose not to eat it because of my allergies, but my husband still tried it and said it was okay. Well definitely be back to try more goodies!

This was a terrible experience. I walked in wanting cupcakes.

I was confused wondering if the regular cupcakes produced some sort of explosive diarrhea. I bought these garbage cupcakes and we ate a few. Chalky AF and they had a ton of oil residue. I'm assuming that's how they try to keep them moist. The inner was just caked oil and the outer was dry and chalky. Needless to say l, I got had. That's on me because common sense told me to just leave. Light your money on fire before buying from here. Awful.

Ordered an everything bagel with garlic cream cheese, an onion bagel with garlic cream cheese, and a toasted garlic bagel with butter. The prices are really reasonable. I like their cc selection, and the fact that they had an onion AND a chopped garlic bagel. I tried all three. Flavors were very good. Not enough toppings on the bagels, and definitely not enough cream cheese. Bagels had a nice crust, and soft interior, but were more bready than bagel dense, and a little on the dry side. I will be back to try their pastries, because they looked delicious. I just came for a bagel, and was disappointed.

Seriously the most beautiful, romantic (yes, a cake can look romantic damnit) looking cakes ever. Keep an eye out on IG & FB for when she does a sweetbun day. You DO NOT want to miss those days. Not even kidding, we buy anywhere between 6-12. They take us about a week to eat but oh man, we look forward to our evening sweetbuns during that time. They keep very well in the fridge; just pop one... or two in the micro for a minute-ish. They're the perfect amount of sweet. Ya know how everyones favorite part of a sweetbun is the middle? I mean, it's for good reason, its delicious. I actually cannot pick what part of her sweetbuns are my fave. The entire thing is special in its own way. The fluffy outside with a kiss of all the gooey cinnamon mixture covered in the cream cheese icing. Then moving around to the middle where both sides are covered and its a little softer. The texture when you finally make it to the middle, just go ahead and plop it all in your mouth. Goodness, whens the next sweetbun day?
