Reviews for Columbia City Bakery in Seattle, WA
We live in Montana. Every time we visit Seattle - every time - we must stop at Columbia City Bakery for breakfast or road food.... It's become a tradition for the last 6 years or so. Their pastures and bread are sooo good. Today we bought the chorizo handpies. Yummm! Tender flaky crust and savory filling. And the chai is outstanding - a little extra cumin gives it a unique flavor. Read more
The savory pastries are especially good, but the hours they open are so scarce that it seems to indicate they're not super... interested in running a business. Find myself going to Olympic across the street for pastries most mornings instead. Read more
Passed by this place on a Saturday. There was a good queue of people outside waiting to place their orders. It took about 10... minutes or so to get the order in and about another 5 or so minutes to get the order. Looked like there was a good selection ofitems. Ordered a curry potato and cauliflower hand pie. It was very warm on the outside and a little cool on the inside. Thedough was very flaky and a little oily. It was very filled which was nice. I wish I had a little bit of salt to bring out moreof the curry flavor. Also ordered a couple of blondies. Liked it because it was a nice big cookie shaped like a brownie. Would be good with some vanilla sauce. Read more
I had a walk-in visit one day and got a traditional croissant. In fact, I got two because they sell everything in boxes of two... (which definitely pisses me off). The croissants look more American than French, you know, like an apple pie or a mushroomturnover, but they taste surprisingly not bad at all, and the cross section reveals some really crafty lamination. ColumbiaCity Bakery currently only opens two days a week from 10a to 3p, so it's not easy to get something casually from them. MaybeI'll come back when their operations come back to normal. Read more
Colombia City Bakery has Herkermer coffee!!!???????????????? I was here for the bread and left with a latte too! ????????? it's... the little things ???? (drove 2.5 miles for this lovely tasty baguette). Lines on the weekends as it is a popular spot forneighbors to grab a bite, that said the line moves quickly! I waited about 3 min on a busy Sat at 11:15 am). Read more
Columbia City Bakery is by far the best bakery in the area. I ordered cinnamon twist, lemon bar, and lavender lemon cake. They... all were phenomenal. The lemon wasn't too over powering. I can't wait to come here again. Must go if you haven't already.Columbia City Bakery has limiting seating but there is a park close by so you can head over there. Also they sell out prettyfast so get there early. Read more
This bakery is unreal. Every pastry, bread, quiche, everything. So delicious, so well portioned. The coffee and espresso are... very good but you should really try to get everything on their menu. You won't be sorry for waiting in the long line. Friendly,efficient service and great prices. Read more
This place is barely ever open and when they are, they are fairly incompetent. The baked goods are decent but only because there... aren?t many other options in the area that don?t require a long wait. Read more
