Reviews for The Bread Peddler in Olympia, WA
Stopped in for a coffee and breakfast pastry on a work trip and was just blown away by everything on offer. Everything looked so... delicious and I can?t wait to come back to try something new! Read more
An Americanized French bakery. A lot of sugary things. Update! The classic bread I got from them for $7 is mostly air and chewy.... So not french at all. it has a giant air bubble in it that makes it impossible to use it as a sandwich bread???? Not good! Read more
I've only been to their Olympia Farmers Market location, but will absolutely be going to their brick and mortar location in the... near future.They have amazing croissants, cookies, and many other baked goods. I've literally never been disappointed withanything I've tried. Read more
Yes they?re very hip + French?in food and in ?tude. Deal with it silently as a true Olympian would or stand there and insist on... having your way but don?t blame them if you let them get away with bad service. Simple + wholesome folksy food, gorgeouslypresented. The pastry case will make you break all of the promises you have made to yourself. Try the croque madame. You couldmake it at home, but you woke up early and wanted to get out and about on a sunny morning, enjoy the finer things in life likecoffee and people watching. No wifi here, by design. Bring a crossword puzzle or a book. Oddly I do not recommend their bread.They overbake it and when questioned they insist that is the French way as though that?s the truth which it?s not. Whichironically makes them very French ;) Sidewalk seating in the summer, overflow bar seating in the building atrium. Read more
My fiancé had been looking forward to trying The Bread Peddler for weeks and we had the absolute worst experience this... afternoon. We ordered a coffee and a chai, two pastries, a classic breakfast and a croque madame. Total was $50 plus tip. Mychai came out lukewarm and was not a chai. Just barely warm cinnamon milk. I got rid of it. We sat ourselves and got condimentsfor the breakfasts that would come out. 30 minutes later, all the tables around us have received their meals and ours wasnowhere in sight. When we asked the staff at the counter about our food, they said they forgot about us. No one was in thekitchen. The pastries we tried were delicious but the overall experience was terrible. Tables sat un-bussed for 30 minuteswhile staff members sat down with patrons to socialize. We only received a partial refund. We really hope that managementaddresses the service and quality issues with their staff. Read more
I love this place! The quality of food & beverages is always stellar. Best coffee & hot chocolate in downtown Olympia.... Breakfast sandwiches & quiche sell out quick so get here before 11am! They have a good variety of artisan bread and pastries?.All delicious! The baristas here are sweet and helpful and best of all?.. professional. Read more
I got a turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. If you are a bread lover, then this is for you. Of course the pastries, had to... get them. The giant cookie is so awesome. Read more
Love the pastries and breads (the almond cake is my favorite), breakfast was just okay. I had the poached egg breakfast. Poached... eggs were very inconsistent with one overcooked and one undercooked. I feel like the dish needed balance. The chevre andbalsamic needed a bitter alongside. Arugula would be perfect. Pastries and bread amazing as always! Espresso was pretty good,too. Service was lovely. Update 11/11: eggs today were poached perfectly today and the classic breakfast was an all around hit. Read more
