1. Bakery Nouveau
Seattle, WA 98116
(206) 923-0534
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: West Seattle
Making it official. It's my favorite bakery in Seattle. High quality products that are consistent. The twice baked almond croissant ($3.85) hasn't disappointed me EVER. It is true that lines are long on the weekends and out the door. When it is full…More »

As you walk to the storefront of Bakery Nouveau on a weekend morning, you will ask yourself where… Read more »
2. Leonard's Bakery
If you go to Honolulu, Leonard's is the place to go to get their malasadas. The store has not changed. Surroundings have changed all around, but it seems that Leonard's has stayed the same which is what I like. It is still putting out these wonderful…More »
3. 60th Street Desserts
Seattle, WA 98115
(206) 527-8560
I will go to great lengths to find stuff. So when I learned that Metropolitan Market was selling paczkis, which are supposedly the Polish version of Portuguese malasadas (decent BTW), I had to make a trip to the Sand Point location. Since I was…More »
4. 85C Bakery Cafe
Great bakery and I should know. I write a lot about them. 1900+ reviews about this place can't be wrong either. Came here early Saturday morning to see what the fuss was about. I was surprised that there was already a line out of door at 9 in the…More »
5. Australian Pie Company
Crikey. An Australian bakery in the Seattle area!
Australian Pie Company is the only Aussie bakery in the Seattle area. I believe it might be the only one in the U.S. Pacific Northwest in fact. I definitely have a greater appreciation for shops like…More »
6. Beard Papa's
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 978-9975
I first learned of Beard Papa's in Hawaii in which there was always a line for cream puffs at Shirokiya in Honolulu. Soon the craze turned into actual storefronts in which you could find these treats daily, as opposed to occasionally like a McRib…More »
7. Belle Pastry
Another week, another bakery. Where to go? I wanted to try Fumie's Gold which is across from Downtown Park in Bellevue. Alas, I came across a closed sign at 1:30 pm. Having lucked out in actually finding a space in the Old Bellevue area, I took Amy…More »
8. Bon Bon Confections
Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
(206) 780-0199
Categories:
Candy Stores,
Chocolatiers and Shops
The word Bon Bon has a good and bad meaning to me. In French, according to Wikipedia it derives from the French word bon which means good and is associated with sweets. But blame Nestle for creating that frozen treat called Bon Bon's which was a…More »
9. The Boss Bakery & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 2T9
Canada
(604) 683-3860
Let's face it. The Chinese bakeries in Seattle are no match for the ones in Vancouver and Richmond. Rating the ones in Seattle is pretty much rating them on a curve. A 4 star bakery in Seattle, is more like a 2 or 3 in Vancouver, which I perhaps…More »
10. Bottega Italiana
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 343-0200
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Gelato,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Downtown
First time trying gelato. I have passed by this shop numerous times with great jealousy. Since I was at the Market, I decided to finally give Bottega Italiana a go. There is a large selection of flavors to choose from. Found the prices for scoops to…More »
11. Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 928-1849
Categories:
Bakeries,
Specialty Food,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Fisherman's Wharf
A trip to San Francisco means a visit to Boudin. It is a SF tradition for me to pick up some Boudin sourdough along with Ghiradelli chocolate. This location at Fisherman's Wharf has an excellent space, with an outside window in which you can watch as…More »
12. Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts
Honolulu, HI 96826
(808) 949-8984
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
Mochi ice cream! First time visitor to Bubbies after all these years, even though I lived just a few blocks away from there. My family would always get the Mikawaya brand mochi ice cream you find at the grocery store. Never thought there was a local…More »
13. Café Besalu
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 789-1463
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
French
Neighbourhood: Ballard
Cafe Besalu is the little French bakery in Ballard that has been on my places to try mental list for quite some time. Little is relative, but the line stretches out the door. The most noticable thing about your waiting is the smell of pastry that…More »
14. Cakes of Paradise
Seattle, WA 98108
(206) 763-1151
Cakes of Paradise has opened up a second location in Seattle. It is located next door to Kauai Family Restaurant in Georgetown. It replaces Kauai Desserts which had a very similar, if not the same cake menu.
While you can find Cakes of Paradise…More »
15. The Confectional
The Confectional is Larry David pretty good.
I had a Groupon way back from last year to use, so I headed to Pike Place to redeem my box of 6 cheesecakes. They have a large selection of 14 flavors to choose from. Pricing for one is a bit steep at $4+,…More »
16. Corina Bakery
Tacoma has long been looked down upon by Seattleites. The old town feeling has not done much to dissuade this. Thus, I thought it was time to venture down south to look for bakeries on the south end worth visiting.
Decided to try Corina Bakery as it…More »
17. Dahlia Bakery
Dahlia Bakery is a small, but very good bakery in downtown Seattle. It is of course next to Dahlia Lounge on 4th Avenue. And when I mean small, it is pretty petite. To walk in, you need to open the screen and front door. Hopefully, there is no one…More »
18. Daily Dozen Doughnut Company
So what did I have for lunch today? Doughnuts. Yes, doughnuts. I was about to try the baguette sandwich at Creminelli Fine Meats when my eyes turned to Daily Dozen. So I gave in. I got a dozen of the plain doughnuts. I thought I would give them a try…More »
19. Delite Bakery
A new bakery each week. At least that is what I am trying to do as of late. This week, the focus is turned on to Delite Bakery. Delite is a bit out of my way on Beacon Hill, so I decided to take the fashionable Light Rail to get here. Delite is…More »
20. Dilettante Café
Seattle, WA 98158
(206) 433-7476
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Thanks indeed for Dilettante. It was Thanksgiving Day and I was flying out to Salt Lake City. If I have learned anything about living in SLC is that you should not expect many places to be open on the major holidays. Thanksgiving is no different.…More »
21. Eastern Bakery
San Francisco, CA 94108
(415) 433-7973
Eastern Bakery was my only stop in Chinatown on my recent trip to SF. It was Sunday and the sun was going down at 4:30ish in the afternoon. I desperately wanted to visit this place before my flight that evening. Thank goodness that Eastern was still…More »
22. Eltana
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 724-0660
Categories:
Bagels,
Coffee & Tea,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
While I was doing some last minute shopping in Seattle last week, I ventured up to Capitol Hill to try Eltana. The location in the Packard Building near Pine is centrally located near Cal Anderson Park and many popular businesses on the Hill.
Never…More »
23. Fonté Café & Wine Bar
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 777-6193
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Wine Bars,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Downtown
+1 star
Adding a star based on the strength and quality of the coffee here. Had a great latte ($3.35 for 16 oz.) with some nice art on top. The flavor of the coffee is very nuanced and refined which I enjoy.
I took my latte to go as I kind of feel the…More »

Fonte is a curious new spot on 1st Avenue near Pike Place Market. Came across it on Yelp and decided… Read more »
24. Fresh Flours
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 706-3338
Categories:
Bakeries,
Cafes,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Ballard
There's truly an abundance of good bakeries in Ballard. That said, not all of the bakeries are equipped for the dine-in crowd. Many are pretty much grab and go places. If you are looking for a bakery cafe, Fresh Flours is the best suited.
The bakery…More »
25. Frost Doughnuts
Greetings from Hiroshima! Made a decision to pick up a dozen of Frost doughnuts for my journey to Japan. I know they have them there, but I did not think they would be tricked out like the flavors at Frost. I was wrong on that count. If some doughnut…More »
26. Fuji Bakery
So I wrote about Seabell Bakery last week, so I thought I would write one for Fuji Bakery which is the other Japanese bakery in the area. Have lived for several years in Bellevue, but always seemed to passed by it. But Blair H.'s pics convinced me to…More »
27. Fuji Bakery
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 623-4050
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: International District
Fuji Bakery in the I-District is the second store of the same name. The original being located in a suburban strip mall in Bellevue. The store replaced previous occupant, Unicone Crepes. A place that I found interesting when I walked by, but never…More »
28. Ghirardelli Chocolate
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 771-4903
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Fisherman's Wharf
Ghiradelli is a must when in San Francisco. Sure, you can find their chocolates in your local grocery, but the chocolate selection here is substantial. It is definitely a tourist trap, but a very quaint one.
The space itself is not all that big. It…More »
29. Go Deli
If I had to choose a state to describe Go Deli, I would say Texas would be fitting. Everything is bigger here.
I bought a Groupon a while ago and drove to downtown Renton to visit Go Deli. It is between Pho Hoa on the corner and a branch of USPS. The…More »
30. Golden Boat Bakery
Several months after Toy's Cafe added a bakery component comes another Chinese bakery in Bellevue. Golden Boat Bakery is a new shop that recent opened in Overlake Square Mall. This is the small strip mall to the north of Fred Meyer. It is located…More »
31. Gourmandise - The Bakery
A great bakery-cafe in SLC. Though a bit unexpected. I was not expecting sitdown service here. I came in on Saturday morning to this spot in downtown. You will find plenty of parking and a relatively large dining room.
You can either order at the…More »
32. Grand Central Bakery
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 622-3644
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
The secret bakery. At least that is what I want to call Grand Central. Tucked in Pioneer Square, in a building with green decor that you would not expect a bakery to be housed.
I became familiar with the bread at Grand Central through QFC when I was…More »
33. Great Harvest Bread Co.
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 706-3434
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Ballard
Attended Ballard SeafoodFest over the weekend. As always, I attend this fair and get the salmon meal that they serve here. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but the salmon is pretty decent.
One of the components of the meal is a piece of garlic…More »
34. Hoffman's Fine Cakes & Pastries
A couple shops down from Noah's at Kirkland Parkplace is Hoffman's. The entrance looked classical, yet elegant. That definitely is a good description of this bakery. The storefront has very much the feel of a cafe. It has a surprising amount of…More »
35. Honey Bear Bakery Cafe
Lake Forest Park, WA 98155
(206) 366-3330
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches,
Cafes
I must admit I never drove on the 522 until I decided to head off to visit Honey Bear. I was not expecting the LFP to be so rustic. Honey Bear is located inside a shopping mall food court next to Third Place Books.
They offer a selection of coffee…More »
36. Honore Artisan Bakery
I love that Seattle has no shortage of French bakeries. So many good ones to choose from and Honore is certainly near the top of this list. Competition has helped to raise the bar.
Made my first visit here last week. I had heard great things about…More »
37. Jean Philippe Patisserie
Las Vegas, NV 89158
(702) 590-8550
Categories:
Desserts,
Bakeries,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: The Strip
My bakery choice in Vegas was Jean Philippe Patisserie at the Aria. There is a second outlet at the Bellagio, but this location is bigger. This is not just a bakery though. You can find an array of things here including chocolates, gelato,…More »
38. Kaffeeklatsch
Seattle, WA 98125
(206) 462-1059
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Lake City
Of the bakeries around Seattle, Kaffeeklatsch is the one that I find the most difficult to spell and pronounce correctly. It is pronounced kaf-fee-klatsch BTW. This is a German term for a coffee social gathering place. As such, this establishment…More »
39. Kitanda Brazilian Espresso
Good coffee place in an industrial part of Kirkland. It is on 124th, but the area is housed mostly by warehouse type buildings so this is very welcome place to have around, particularly since I work about 5 minutes away. Due to the surroundings, I…More »
40. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Issaquah, WA 98029
(425) 391-8011
Categories:
Donuts,
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
It just is a given when I am in Issaquah that I swing by the Krispy Kreme for some doughnuts. Super convenient as it right by Home Depot and Fred Meyer with plenty of parking. Though the street between the two retailers is seriously a huge pain and…More »
