    Pistachio Croissant
    Chloe D.

    The Pistachio Cream Croissant was delicious! The prices are reasonable, too. I came at 1:30pm and they were out of a few things, so I look forward to coming back at an earlier time to try more items.

    Best ham and cheese croissant I've ever had. Period. I liked the idea of the prosciutto, brie and fig jam pastry more than the execution but it was still pretty good. It's just that the ham and cheese croissant was SO good, I wanted to eat my boyfriend's breakfast more than my own. Coffee was good too.

    Cute little bakery with delicious pastries, dessert's, muffins, a variety of sandwiches, quiche, soup, and coffee. Street Parking only. It wasn't very busy the mid-morning we visited. I ordered a Pain au Chocolat, Nutella Cruffin, and a Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish. We had grabbed breakfast at Mas Cafe before heading here, so I didn't get too many items. Had I come on an empty stomach it would have been a different story lol. The pastries were quite delicious and they didn't skimp on the fillings either. Plenty of Nutella and Blackberry/Cream Cheese filling. I like the size of the pastries as well. Fairly priced for the size and generous filling for the items I experienced. I enjoyed the texture of the cruffin. I've heard all about it, but it was my first time sampling a cruffin. The employees were kind upon check out as well. I'd definitely be back on my next visit to SEA so I can try other items on their menu and I would definitely recommend you stop in and judge for yourself.

    what an amazing find by the friend who brought us! I'm a huge sucker for coffee, croissants, and crispy sandwiches, all that. This place is heaven! the drinks are delicious, the food is freshly made and there's such a huge selection for whatever palate tickles your fancy that day. The tuna sandwich I got along with the mango pastry made for such a tasty meal. The Matcha latte is also not too sweet, which is the main thing that I get scared of, but everyone was extremely happy with their food and the croissant sandwiches from what I tasted were also gas. We chatted a bit longer and pushed up against their closing time, and I did really appreciate that they didn't start packing up while we were still in the store. i will 200% be back! yum!

    Amazing Croissants! Will definitely come back! Coffee was also outstanding :) Service is so kind and friendly! Beautiful pastry counter and nice seating at the windows! I can highly recommend the place, won't be my last time here!

    Cute little corner coffee spot. Delicious looking pastry selection, we tried a few - the almond cake was so soft and decadent. Friendly staff.

    Great neighborhood bakery. A lot of options and most were good. The pear croissant and lemon tart were delightful and not too sweet. The matcha strawberry tart was a bit of a miss. Very sweet, the match flavor didn't come thru and had a hint of freezer burn. The strawberry element in the cake was bomb tho. The quiche was . Nothing that is going to knock your socks off but hits the spot when you a morning pick me up.

    There are two benchmark pastries I look at whenever I go to a new patisserie - the almond croissant and the kouign amann. At Zary Bakery, they both didn't look that great, with the almond croissant being strangely flat, as if the pastry chef purposefully smashed it down, and the kouign amann sprawling out into a wide disk instead of being more muffin shaped. Just because they look a bit strange doesn't mean they are bad, but I decided instead to purchase some other items that seemed more interesting. Palmier ($5.40) - This palmier is exceptionally fragrant with the smell of butter wafting into the nose with every bite. It has a fantastically flaky crunch factor on the edges, transitioning to a softer and more chewy section on the interior. This is thicker than most palmiers I've seen, resulting in the interior especially being softer, more buttery, and less sweet. Overall, this pastry isn't as sweet as most palmiers I've had. The sugar glaze isn't applied too thickly, so it doesn't help glue the layers together, resulting in an exceptionally flaky dessert that doesn't gum up the teeth while chewing. (4/5) Kentucky Butter Cake ($6.35) - I haven't had this cake before, and doing more research, apparently it comes from Missouri rather than Kentucky? At any rate, this mini bundt cake looked delicious in the pictures and quickly became something we had to pick up on our visit. This is essentially a slightly richer version of a prototypical yellow cake, with vanilla flavoring and some warming spices added for oomph. It's not quite to the density or nearly as buttery as a pound cake, but kind of rests in that area between. The crumb is quite moist and the taste isn't too sweet. I read that there's usually a sugar and butter glaze poured on top, but I don't think they incorporate that aspect here at Zary. (4/5) I also ordered a TGTG bag with day old pastries, which included: French Butter Croissant ($5.25) - The croissant is buttery, decently flaky, and baked until a lighter golden brown, although due to being day old, there's not really any crust to speak of. It has a great honeycomb structure on the interior, making it well risen, light and airy. The croissant would make a great base for a sandwich and is perfectly enjoyable to eat by itself. Caramel S'Mores Croissant ($6.50) - Even though this is labeled as a croissant, it's more of a cruffin based on the shape of the pastry. Chocolate dipped caramel pretzel graces the top, adding a salty and sweet crunch. Inside the pastry is a kind of a cream cheese-like sweet and slightly tangy filling. It's a more substantial and richer version of marshmallow fluff with a more complex flavor than just pure sweetness. M&M and Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.50) - The cookie is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, with plenty of chocolate and M&Ms. Since it was day old, it's hardened up a bit, but still easy to eat. I did find a kind of acrid bitter taste in the dough, which reminds me of baking soda. I'm not 100% sure what that flavor is from, but it made the cookie the least enjoyable dessert, at least for me. Of course, it's not fair to rate a bakery based on the day old items, so I will refrain from factoring these into my rating. Overall Zary is a pretty solid bakery. They serve some interesting pastries and the wide variety makes repeat visits easy to foresee.

    I've had time and perspective to genuinely review this bakery. This bakery is not only beautiful inside, they produce beautiful and delicious pastries and baked goods. The cinnamon roll was one of the best I've tasted. It's just the right size and perfectly frosted. The flavor of the cinnamon is just right and doesn't taste of mass produced flavorings that many cinnamon rolls taste like. The roll is moist and not one bite was dry. That's how I judge a good pastry; no dry bites! I've also tried a few Kentucky varieties of Kentucky cake. One was on the dry side but the other was moist with a few blueberries. I tasted a hint of cardamom which is different but in a good way. I will definitely keep this bakery on our list of repeat visits. If you are fortunate to be near this bakery, you need to try something delicious fast!! If you're visiting, make this a definite stop!!

    Still in love with Zary. Had one of their seasonal beverages, the strawberry cold foam latte, and heard the Pixies Where is My Mind playing in the background. I lost my mind at how much I liked it. Had the strawberry lemon brioche. Still a winner!

    All of the food was lovely. Unfortunately my order got missed and I had to ask about it to get it going, so I ended up missing my bus. They did give me a free bakery item as an apology for the communication mishap, which I appreciated. I know these things can happen and they were very apologetic so I would come back, especially for the potato croissant! It's a small but cute spot for bakery and light lunch items, with good natural light and right in front of a bus stop.

    I wanted to place a quick pickup order so within the YELP app, I clicked on START ORDER and saw that you can place an order inside the YELP platform. I also saw that the ordering process was powered by Grubhub. Since I wanted to be able to use my own Grubhub account, I used the Grubhub app instead and ordered the following: 1 Almond Croissant $7.10 1 Almond Pear Croissant $7.10 1 Kentucky Butter Cake $7.10 1 Kentucky Butter Cake with Blueberries $7.20 1 Kouign-amann $6.85 2 Kouign-amann $13.70 I went into the store at the estimated pickup time per Grubhub and they didn't know about order. They asked what delivery app I used and I had to tell them I used Grubhub. And then they must have activated something because at that moment, I got a text notification that my Grubhub order has been received and a new pickup time was given. Not smooth but not a biggie. Took the pastries home and found that for my almond pear croissant, they automatically substituted it with Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish and the its packaging had a handwritten note "sorry, out of almond pear." Since I was waiting inside the store, I am puzzled why they weren't able to notify me and perhaps ask me what I would like instead. Other than these issues, the pastries were very tasty. The cafe seemed very cozy and clean.

    Easily the best French bakery in the city. I happened upon this place when picking up a bagel order next door, and I am glad I did. Everything looks amazing. Everything is fresh. I took two large boxes away, and every piece has been outstanding. The palmiers are the best we've ever had. Period. Croissants are divine. So are the other classic French items, including savory items. But they also have superb American-style scones, and I LOVE an excellent scone. These are they. And the rare Kentucky Butter Cake. A French/Swiss couple who lived nearby scoffed at me for planning to go next door for bagels. "This is the REAL thing. Those are...bagels." Hey, both places are great, and I am delighted they are next to each other. Worth driving for.

    I stumbled into Fuel Coffee & Books on a morning when the whole neighborhood was still buzzing from…read morea 5K race, so the place was packed. Like, "good luck finding a quiet corner" packed. But honestly? The energy worked. The staff was moving with that calm, unbothered flow only seasoned baristas have. Friendly, attentive, and somehow keeping the line moving without making anyone feel rushed. Respect. Light was flooding every corner; that soft Seattle glow that makes you want to pull out your journal and pretend you live inside a cozy indie film. Ventilation was perfect. Temperature was perfect. Seating options? Abundant. And not the awkward wobbly kind either. This spot is built for lingering. I grabbed a latte, sat down, and immediately fell into an art journaling trance. There's something about being surrounded by curated shelves of books and cute little treasures that just unlocks your brain. It's the kind of place where you look up after ten minutes and somehow an hour passed. This was my first visit, but it's already on my list of "places I'll actually come back to and get work done." A rare category, honestly. If you're looking for a café that feels like a creative reset button; this is a great one.

I was surprised that the cake was so cheap around $4 but after the first bite, it tasted like it was from a Safeway bakery, which made me feel a bit scammed. The latte was a very light roast, so the coffee flavor was barely noticeable and it felt more like drinking hot milk. On the positive side, the servers were sweet and friendly. It took about 5-7 minutes to get our drinks, and the place was packed around 1:30 pm on a Saturday.

I looked up their yelp page as well as their Instagram and knew I had to come just to get one of their lattes with their amazing foam art! They have a variety of waffles and sandwiches on the menu that seemed appetizing however because I got here after 3:30 the kitchen was closed but they have a variety of pre-made burritos and sandwiches that you could still buy. I love that they have a huge variety of non-dairy milks including soy which is my favorite. I wanted to get the turmeric latte however I mentioned that I couldn't wait to see the foam art and the Baristas told me that due to the light color of the latte, it would be difficult to see the foam art so I instead ordered the red velvet latte with soy and it was as delicious as it was cute! I also got the egg and sausage cheese burrito and it was chock full of eggs and sausage... very filling. The decor and seating options are plentiful upstairs and downstairs. They also have free pineapple infused water for guests to drink which I appreciate. Seems like a popular spot for UW students to do work as there are lots of outlets for their laptops.
