When your in the area, STOP. We loved coming here when we lived in Arlington. Such a gem of a bakery. We found ourselves back in the area after 4 years and made a "B line" straight here before moving on to our final destination. The people, the place, the food, the atmosphere is the best. read more

5b's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Concrete, Washington

Note that the entire bakery is gluten free, so keep your expectations relative. I was misdiagnosed as celiac for 5 years and ate a LOT of different gluten free foods during that time (before all the cool innovative products/recipes came out). Personally, I didn't love the food here. It was pretty pricey; the two of us each ordered one coffee + one food item, and the total came out to $40+. We thought the food items were pretty dry/crumbly/tough, acknowledging they are gluten free and don't have that classic fluff. We weren't very happy with the espresso either; it almost tasted like Keurig coffee. Service was friendly and parking is easy. read more

This place was pretty amazing. We stopped here to check out the town and ended up here. So many bakery items that just looked amazing. I had an iced mocha there and I have to say that it was the best iced coffee I've ever had. I don't usually get them for they are usually made so sweet. This was well made and I could tell. We all ordered amazing yummy items and all really enjoyed the lemon mini like cake. Again, well done! I'd definitely go back if in the area! read more

Just stopped in here again on Sunday while in the area and to use a gift card we had won a bit back. This place is still consistently busy and the staff are all very friendly. My daughter had the Tomato Basil Soup with a side salad while my wife and I each had a quiche. We each had a coffee drink or a specialty espresso drink. I like my gluten but there are apparently a lot of folks that don't need or want it. Our quiche was tasty and the coffee drinks were good. There are a LOT of items in the cooler to purchase and take home for later including pot pies, pasta dishes and desserts and all of it gluten free. Nice place to try when in Concrete. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but left disappointed. Putting aside the virtue signalling signs on entry, the place is quite quaint. There are a large variety of built from scratch bakery selections, along with many locally crafted gifts. Unfortunately, I somehow missed that it's all gluten free, so, as one other reviewer noted, the items are dry and crumbly, almost as though they are stale or have been frozen. Also, the coffee was burnt. The service was average. I had the opportunity to stop by here again but chose to blow past it and go to other bakery just down the road. read more

The food and service is amazing. It was a great experience it's a great place for all family members prices are pretty reasonable when you look at all of the fresh ingredients and great creativity that goes along with making this stuff read more

This place is amazing!! I've never before experienced a bakery with such a wide selection of wonderfully delicious gluten free items! Various breads, muffins, pizza round, pretzels, pot pies, savory breakfast muffins, cookies, tarts, pies, they have them all, along with your special coffee accompaniment. There are also a number of items that are also dairy free. If you eat gluten free and you have driven by this place, you need to stop and turn around or you will miss one of the best gluten free bakeries on this planet! read more

Definitely worth the stop on the way to North Cascades. Everything was gluten free and they had great meal options not just baked goods/ pastries. Service was great. Cute little bakery/cafe vibes. read more

5b's Bakery - Lasagna, hummus/ veggies and Jasmine tea - Bakeries Near Me - Concrete, Washington

Can I give this more than 5 stars?! Don't let the fact that this is a fully-GF bakery deter you! It is a great bakery, period! We enjoyed delicious breakfast and coffee here our first day of vacation and took items from their freezer back to our Airbnb for dinner the following night (chicken pot pie and curry pot pie were both phenomenal)! We went again our last morning here for breakfast and coffee and a box filled with goodies to take home to our family! Service is not the speediest...but great food takes time and it is WORTH IT! Enjoy relaxing on the great outdoor patio as you wait! read more

Just a heads up if you are vegan don't come hungry. There are only two small options available. The location is super cute with outdoor seating. The service was ok. read more

this is an iconic pit stop off hwy 20 in concrete. i love stopping in for a baked good and be forewarned: there's lots to consider. from savory to sweet, small or large. they also have food you can easily order and eat there and if you're traveling during rain or cold weather and the hey isn't closed, this is a great place to take a load off, take off your jacket and just take some deep breaths. read more

The first thing to know about 5B's is that it is a cute-as-a-button local hub, and a great place to start a day if you're in the area. The coffee is good, the service is excellent and friendly, and they have great items for sale, especially if you are shopping for gifts for coffee lovers. The next thing to know is that their bakery offerings are gluten free, and may not be what you expect, flavor and texture-wise. I'd steer away from the cookies and cake desserts, unless you're really into that sort of thing. Dry, sandy textures await you, often as not. Filled and creamy options, like cheesecake, would be a better bet. If you're into gluten avoidance, this could be your jam. But stop in anyway - a cool cafe and shop, for sure. read more

Awful food, overpriced coffee, unenjoyable place. Perk's espresso has 10x better coffee, considerably cheaper

Hidden gem along highway 20, I go out of my way to make a pit stop here when I'm in the area! I actually didn't know it was a gluten free bakery when I first came here, so keep that in mind. The cinnamon roll and an iced latte is my go to! read more

We split the panini and it was delicious. Excellent coffee & home made chai too. Great staff, great atmosphere and overall a great pace to eat. Highly recommend. read more

What a gem in the middle of no where! Everything is gluten free. There are some dairy free options but limited (would love to see more!). I got the snickerdoodle cookie and carrot cake cupcake (both dairy free). The carrot cake cupcake is the best I've had since going gluten free 9 years ago. It was soft, moist and flavorful. Icing was a little sweet but I just scraped some off. Snickerdoodle cookie was good. My husband got the crème puff and bread pudding. He loved both and the filling was generous in the crème puff. Neither were dry. Hope to pass again on our way back to Seattle. We returned today 10/16 and it was beginning of the day so the case was full! Unfortunately, the dairy free options did not change :( we did order breakfast from the kitchen. Eggs and bacon for me and hubby got the seasonal pumpkin streusel waffles. He said they were the best he's ever had in his life including before he was gluten free. read more

Fantastic gem in Concrete, WA. I won't drive the North Cascades again without planning a stop at this darling bakery / cafe. We've tried many items on the menu, and everything has been delicious. The biggest surprise is that won't taste what's missing, because while the entire menu is gluten free. They have nailed gf baking!! This place is sure to please regardless of your allergies (or lack of). read more

@iwanttobewhatieat This is a gem of the #pnw @5bsbakery is the kind of place that if you come to Washington State, it's a must. Located off highway 20 in #concretewashington this #glutenfree eatery will make you question life itself and why on earth you eat gluten? The food is so epically fantastic. The service is unless the owner is there and then you are truly in for an amazing experience because she is fantastic. the picture does not do this justice. First of all those are gluten free English muffins made fresh daily and they are so freaking delicious I just want to quit my job and sit around and eat these muffins all day jacked up on French Press coffee, with my ride or die best friend....butter. The breakfast scramble is BOMB. Get in your car immediately.

Where do I begin....... If I could give 10 stars I would! The plethora of choices inside 5bs was astounding. And if you thought it couldn't get better, you would be wrong..... the service from each of the employees inside was everything you would hope for and more. From the freshly baked hand pies to the bagel dog you can't go wrong. This is a MUST stop if you're debating it! We cannot wait to go back! read more

5b's is one of my favorite restaurants! This charming bakery has the best espresso drinks, pastries and service!! The food is fresh and tasty. 5b's has a relaxed, charming vibe with outside seating and an amazing view of the Cascade foothills. On this visit I had the cheesecake and latte. Their hand pies are also incredible. The servers Ellen and Bernie provided excellent service. I highly recommend this place for lunch, dessert or just an espresso!! read more

All gluten free, all gloriously yummy. What a great find in beautiful downtown Concrete, Washington. So worth a stop when headed to or from the mountains. Whether for coffee, baked goods or a full meal, you can't go wrong here. Oh, and the folks working here are gems too. read more

This bakery makes the best gluten free food I've ever had, and how lucky we are to have it here in small town Concrete! Most of the menu items don't even taste "gluten-free"-- the texture and flavor is as good if not better than traditional baked goods. Some of my favorite things are the calzones, cinnamon rolls, maple bacon donuts, and the drunken nun cupcakes (a chocolate & vanilla cupcake with booze-soaked cherries!). But in my opinion the best thing on the menu is the meatloaf cupcake! Delicious meatloaf (give me your recipe!) topped with mashed potato "frosting" and sprinkled with cheese. I get it almost every time I come here! The only downside to me is the pricing on some of the items can be a little expensive, but I suppose that's relative to what you're willing to pay for a great gluten free baked good. read more

Oh that lemon poppyseed bundt cake has ruined me! I was surprised to learn that it is 100% vegan. Wow! We really enjoyed the sausage morning hash..it was colorful and flavorful and filling for a day of hiking. This is a great place. The kids will love the patio and the giant connect-four game out front. Service is great. They are ready for all your questions. The food is tasty and if you don't care about texture than you won't really notice that everything is gluten-free. They do not have anything sugar-free. read more

Breakfast items are too complicated. French toast is unrecognizable and has too much stuff. Instead of slices it was a hodge podge of ingredients baked into a brick. Waffles had no flavor, and syrup was essentially just water. read more

My wife and I were amazed by this wonderful restaurant. It's a perfect combination of crafted coffees, delicious baked goods and hearty breakfast fare. If you're in Concrete, you need to have breakfast here. We were greeted and given the lay of the land by the owner. I'll admit I was initially overwhelmed by all the foods to choose from, but ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy. They offered a side of spinach with jalapeños, and it was excellent. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. Without droning on about how much I liked the whole experience, I'll tell you that the food was just as ordered. Two things are greatly evident- no detail is overlooked and everything is done with care. We'll definitely be back. read more

So glad we stopped in on our way to the North Cascades National Park. I make cheesecake. Lots of different kinds and I usually don't eat it at restaurants or cafes, cause I'd usually be disappointed. But we bought a little personal sized cheesecake with strawberries & rhubarb sauce on top. It was excellent. Definitely the best thing we bought there, but hubby loved the macaroons too. Love to support those small businesses that do their best to provide good food. read more

5b's Bakery - Where all the treasures are sold - Bakeries Near Me - Concrete, Washington

Rarely does a café get me to say this: "Visionary! Inspiring!" But this place is the vanguard, the cutting edge of caring for customers; and caring in ways they aren't even aware of (yet)! Blending the arts and sciences of baking the entire menu takes on, and solves the problems with factory wheat, factory foods and inflammatory ingredients. It does so without sacrificing flavor, texture or food safety. Brewed coffee.m? Check. Espresso drinks? Check. Pastry goods? WAY more than your typical big city café. No mean feat in this out of the way dining experience. But well worth the drive. [we came 129 miles, planning our arrival to be in time for their big breakfasts]. You might not notice but the owners designed the dining room for comfort, selecting big, commercial grade comfortable seating, something most café owners and architects are loath to do - picking cheap metal stools like you sat on in middle school biology class, and hated even then! Guess what, we are grown up now, with bigger butts and more discerning requirements for comfort. Well here, the owner's vision and care for you, extends to all 3 pillars of the eating out experience: food, service AND ambiance. read more
