Good pastries, nice staff, and free roll for kids!…read more Our experience was great. They gave coupons the first two times we went. One for a free pastry next visit and after we used that they gave a coupon for a free bread loaf the next visit. The pastries are really high quality and creative, like the cottage coins(?) and the rye chocolate chip cookie.

I've visited The Cottage a couple more times, along with visiting plenty of other Seattle-area…read morebakeries, and I unfortunately no longer think they are top tier. I'm not sure if it's because something changed on the side of the bakery (maybe recipe or personnel changes?) or on my side, having tried more bakeries around the area. On our last visit we bought two loaves of bread to accompany a butter tasting. Both loaves I found to be not nearly as high quality as I remember previously. Pane Bello ($9) - The crust basically doesn't exist in this bread. It's soft and leathery and doesn't give that satisfying crispness of a well baked bread. The interior, while having good crumb structure, is particularly dry and almost crumbly. The taste is mild, perfect for pairing with higher end butters. (3/5) Parmesan Black Pepper Sourdough ($9) - This batard has similar texture as compared to the Pane Bello. It has the addition of plenty of black pepper baked inside, spaced out rather evenly, allowing a peppery bite every time. There's salty and fatty parmesan baked on top, giving a caramelized salty umami. It definitely has more flavor than the Pane Bello, but suffers from the same textural issues. (3/5) We purchased both loaves at 10AM on a Sunday morning and they were consumed within 2.5 hours, so I don't think it's an issue with storage. I ate a bit of their regular foccacia at a work event too. It has a good crispy exterior and is salted well on the top. Unfortunately the interior isn't the best, having a really dense, chewy crumb. I'm honestly not sure what happened. I really loved The Cottage when I first moved here 1.5 years ago. Now? I have a number of bakeries I'd choose over here in a heartbeat.

Look at the picture I attached and please tell me if it is anywhere near worth $70... The quality of the dessert is actually disturbing, they aren't even selling you a pastry it's quite literally frosting wrapped in chocolate.... That's it... there LITERALLY is no substance inside of the fruit dessert EXCEPT FOR THE PISTACHIO ONE. I GAVE THIS REVIEW TWO STARS PURELY BC THAT HAD TO BE ONE OF THE BEST PISTACHIO DESSERTS IVE EVER HAD!!!!!!! The pistachio ACTUALLY HAD SUBSTANCE in it, it had graham cracker and cake which is WHATS REQUIRED IN THESE DESSERTS. But every single other one was disappointing at best and smaller than a child's hand. Let's point out the obvious as well. Their "art" looks like a child made it compared to pictures of literally any other fruit shaped dessert you see. Compared to literally any other place that makes desserts like this you can tell ladun IS NOT interested in making it artistic or even look good. The pistachio literally has a red stripe on it, none of the fruit look right they all look like they came out of molds. Their fruit desserts look exactly like what happens when Walmart tries to emulate trends, looks cheap, not well put together, ingredients are cheap BUT it costs nothing so that's why people buy it. I have already told my friends not come here only because all of us live on the east side and the 30 minute drive is not worth it for ANY OF US. BUT IF YOU LIVE IN EVERETT: this is a great once a year treat to get yourself! It doesn't really taste like much and it has no substance or weight to it , but still really fun for instagram!

BraziMex Bakery is a small Brazilian and Mexican bakery that serves a variety of different baked…read moretreats. Brazillian food, especially, is quite rare in this area, so we decided to drop by on a weekday afternoon to try them out. unfortunately they were out of most of the Brazillian pastries, but we ended up getting 3 different items. Concha ($1.20) - This concha has a distinctively yellow colored interior. It's really pillowy and soft yet very rich like brioche. Usually I find conchas to be much drier and much less rich. The crust on top is crumbly and sweet. The bottom base is really the standout here. (4/5) Empanadas Crema ($2.49) - This is a denser bread that tastes like a cracker, kind of like a saltine. It's flour and water, unenriched, but not dry. The inside is filled with stabilized cream. It's not too sweet. (3/5) Pao Milho, Pan de Elote ($3.50) - This is dense and heavy, wet with tons of corn, whole kernels and pieces embedded throughout. It has a strong corn flavor. I would compare it to a bread pudding with corn. Corn bread pudding perhaps? With tres leches like syrup soaking things through. (4/5) I enjoyed the pastries at BraziMex Bakery. I wish they had a fryer for coxingha and other fried snacks though! Note: BraziMex has 3% credit card surcharge

They have pretty typical Korean bakery fare and pricing seems to be just a bit higher than competitors, probably somewhere around a 10% premium compared to similar family owned bakeries. On my visit I got two pastries to try: Soboro Cream ($3.49) - Instead of a delicately crackly cookie crust, this bun has a much softer, almost moist topping, which may be due to them placing the bread in the packaging before being fully cooled off, allowing the bun to steam too much. There's a bunch of sweetened stabilized cream inside that's sweet and oily. The bread itself is kind of dry and crumbly, either not a typical milk bread recipe or perhaps it had been sitting on the shelf for too long. (2/5) Corn Mochi ($5.99) - This comes with six pieces. The corn mochi has a nice chewy tapioca flour base. There's black sesame sprinkled throughout giving a burst of nutty flavor. I expected to see whole corn kernels baked inside but I think they just use corn flour in the dough. It's way less sweet than the soboro. Texturewise, the inside is bouncy while the outside has a harder baked crust. (4/5) Overall Le Bon Patisserie is a pretty average Asian grocery store-paired bakery. It's more of a place to buy bread for convenience rather than anything special, but it does the job decently well.

And…read moreyet I accidentally go back periodically because it's right inside the H Mart complex and because I have the memory span of a goldfish. I am always intensely disappointed with myself for not remembering how much it sucks, especially with 85 Degrees bakery just down the block. My latest foray led me to two loaves of milk bread for $11!!!! WTF? First of all, the two loaves look absolutely different... one is a square, and the other one is more like the milk bread shape. The lady behind the counter assured me they are the same. Spoiler alert: they are not, but they are equally awful. For those of you who knows REAL Japanese milk bread, it is like magic. I f***in' love milk bread... and while I don't use drugs, I imagine the euphoria I feel when I bite into milk bread is similar to a drug high. La Bon's milk bread is literally the worst white bread I have EVER tasted. It's worst than any grocery store brand and tastes like paper mache, wait, no.... I ate paper mache as a kid and this is far far worse. The pure and utter sadness I feel every time I put a piece of that shitty white cardboard into my mouth is worthy of a country western song. And everything else from that place tastes like cardboard. DO NOT GO. Or if you do, just be forewarned.... godspeed.

It was pretty easy to make a cake order and the writing was free, unlike online where it says $5 for writing. When I got the cake, I was a bit disappointed. The writing had bled onto the cake, there was a crack in the frosting and it appeared that the frosting at the bottom leaned piped to the board instead of the cake. I didn't bother mentioning this at pick up because it didn't seem like the worker was also the cake person. The cake itself was a tad dry but light and airy. For the price I paid, I was disappointed by the outcome. Even if it was due to additional cake orders due to mother's day, I do expect better than this when I buy a cake from a local bakery. Also if you like crispy croissants, I do not recommend the Sichuan pepper cruffin. It was tasty but it didn't have the crisp that you'd expect from a bakery.

This interior was quite charming with art-deco decor and old school music. The menu was fairly limited. We ordered 2 omelets and the Vegan Breakfast Hash. While waiting, I went over to the counter and perused their bakery selections. I love Almond croissants so I shared one with my husband. I'm used to almond paste filling but this one had some sort of custard and not much of it. Our omelets arrived and they were small and flat more like 2-egg omelets. Both my omelet and seasoned potatoes were way too salty. The Vegan Hash had several items listed on the menu that were missing. Service was so-so. Our water was not refilled and we had to get the servers' attention for our checks just to be told to pay at the register. The croissant was $8 which I think it's pricey. Total before tip was $68. It's a cute establishment but the lackluster food and service do not warrant a return trip.

The Banana Punch Monkey (yes, the trending one!) totally deserves its moment -- fun, nostalgic, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. The s'mores flavor was rich and cozy with that toasted marshmallow vibe, the strawberry lemonade was bright and refreshing with just the right tartness, and the London Fog was so elegant and smooth, with a subtle tea-forward flavor that felt incredibly elevated. Beyond the macarons themselves, the experience really stood out. The owner was so lovely and sweet -- I got to learn about her passion behind the business, and it genuinely made the visit feel special. You can tell how much heart goes into everything she creates. The girl with black hair working there was also incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. All the macarons were fresh, beautifully made, and had that perfect chewy-meets-crisp texture. You can truly feel the care put into both the flavors and the presentation. If you're in Bothell (or even nearby), this place is 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.
