Parking can be validated by the bakery. Make sure to bring in the ticket to the cashier. I love how they have samples here! You can taste many options and get a feel of the bakery items. So many pretty pastries to choose from! There are some small tables inside and a few seating available outdoors. The pain suisse looked really good, so got that one and it was delicious!! It was perfect about of sweetness and flaky. I would definitely give this place a try again!
Good bakery. Would come back if walking in the area. We went in the late morning. it was still very busy, but they still had newly made pastries in their inventory. The Pain Suisse vanilla was very tasty. They validate parking at the nearby garage, which is nice if you're driving in the area.
I happened to walk by (hadn't heard of this place) so decided to try a couple of items. The strawberry maritozzo is ok. The bread is dry so you have to eat it with all of the filling, but I'm not much of a filling fan so that was a fail for me. It looked pretty and I like strawberry-flavored pastries so wanted to try it, but I shoulda listened to my gut. It's not that sweet, which is good for me, but it wasn't light or creamy so even the consistency there was a miss. The other was basically a coffee bun (tho it had a different fancy name). It has a little sprinkling of chocolate chips on top, but a coffee bun. Again, it misses the mark. I've had Korean coffee buns that were crispy on the edges and buttery and soft on the inside. This is just airy and dry and the edges don't have that crispiness. I'd even give it 2 stars cuz the pricing is high, but I'd try some of the sandwiches to see if those are any good. Not somewhere I'd recommend, but I don't want to write it off just yet.
Smells amazing in here! Was at work next door and came down for a snack before an event. You can smell the baked goods as soon as you walk outside. The workers were super friendly. Super knowledgeable about the bakery case. And I walked out with the most delicious Caesar chicken tartine that I've ever tasted. Will be coming back for more!
I honestly do not understand how this place has such a long line. Everything looks amazing in photos, but the actual experience was a huge letdown. We bought a variety of pastries, and I was really disappointed by almost all of them. Most of the items were surprisingly bland and completely lacking flavor. The biggest disappointment was their salt bread, which was easily one of the worst versions I have ever tried. Instead of having that classic buttery bottom, a nice crisp bite, and the signature hollow pocket in the center, it was soggy, dense, and dry. There was barely any salt on top and zero rich butter flavor. To top it off, the service was frustratingly disorganized. While we were waiting for our drinks, the staff completely forgot about our order. Multiple parties who ordered well after us received their beverages before we realized our ticket had been skipped over entirely. Between the tasteless baked goods and the poor service, this was a super frustrating visit. Definitely would not recommend based on our experience.
Environment: In Washington State, there isn't even a proper counterpart in its category. It's a quintessential Asian bakery with bold, eye-catching signage and a prime location. Featuring an open-kitchen design, its store ambience and environment stand unrivaled in this segment. Service: Top-notch with zero issues. The staff actively manage the line, warmly greet incoming guests, guide choices, and even offer a few tasting samples to try. Flavor: We selected two baked goods. The first was a pistachio Maritozzo. The name "Maritozzo" stems from the Italian word for "husband" (marito)--traditionally, a sweet given by a fiancé to his bride-to-be, often hiding a ring or small piece of jewelry inside the whipped cream as a romantic proposal gift. Hence, this romantic pastry earned the playful moniker "little husband." However, upon closer observation, there is no fundamental difference between the various flavors offered here: the strawberry version simply tops the cream with a single strawberry, while the pistachio version comes with three pistachios. Neither the bread dough nor the cream filling varies by flavor. It's not overly sweet, making it light and guilt-free--altogether a decent, safe choice, but nothing extraordinary. The second item was the chocolate egg tart. The chocolate component is merely a thin layer on top, with no chocolate flavor integrated into the custard base itself. That said, the puff pastry layers are beautifully laminated and crisp, and the egg custard filling is smooth and delicate. Like the Maritozzo, it's executed reliably well, yet lacks a spark of surprise. Given this price tier, it sits on the higher end for Washington State. While the pastries are visually striking, the overall flavor profile remains fairly middle-of-the-road--leaving us slightly disappointed.
Went here for the Fourth of July. The space was busy and bustling with people. The pastries were pretty good but nothing really special from the different bakeries I've been to in WA. Really cute space and would love to try other pastries next time.
I finally made a trip here after soft opening and I feel like nothing really changed from when I went during soft opening. There's a long line but it moves fairly quickly. I really don't like that you can't see everything on display before you order...you kind of have to wait if you want to see what's available or try to sneak in to look and then get in line. The other downside is thatbthere was thing's that was still baking so you might not see everything anyway... It's crowded so not for dine in, there are some seatings outside though. Foodwise: croissant -- standard. Salt bread -- like the flavor but texture isn't right Pistachio donut -- dry. Even with the cream Things was pretty pricey here as well... Overall, I don't think I will be back anytime soon.
I enjoyed the pistachio egg tart here. A coworker got some for the team and so I cannot really comment how busy it is, but the egg tarts are large, the crust is flaky, and there is good flavor to every bite. The butter and creamy flavors just make this such a good egg tart. It is definitely pricier than the traditional egg tart, but I can see it worth the occasional splurge. It's not as good as the ones I had in Hong Kong, but for what it's worth, excellent enough of an option in Bellevue area.
I came back from Korea and really wanted to find some salt bread, and as it turns out, this relatively new bakery close by had some! I didn't know this was here, but I'm very excited it is, because their breads are delicious! I have tried a number of their breads (they also serve samples), but I think for salt bread texture the garlic butter one is closest to what I was looking for (requires an air fry reheat). The kimchi bacon tartine is also excellent and SO much kimchi. I gotta come back and try their egg tarts too some time! And they're right next to Don't Yell At Me so it's a nice combo. And a very short walk from the Bellevue bus terminal. Everything is great!!
The bakery had lots of delicious-looking baked goods, and the server was friendly and helpful in explaining the different options. The chicken sando was tasty small but surprisingly filling and I also enjoyed the Papa Roti. I'm taking off 2 stars for a couple of things: the Papa Roti had a large hole in the center (not sure if that was intentional or just bad luck), and I wasn't told there was a $0.25 bag charge, while another customer was given a free bag when she asked. Overall, everything was good, but it's definitely on the pricey side.
The staff were great with helping answer questions and quickly and politely preparing orders. The line was really long even an hour before closing and they were sold out of many items. The inside has a few seating areas but there's more space outside. I think it was extra busy though due to the art festival outside. The bakery was quite good and I'd love to come back earlier to try more items another time!
Ordered the basil chicken sandwich and it was a bit of a miss for me. Credit where it's due: there was a genuinely good amount of chicken packed in here, and the bread was soft and fresh. But the flavors didn't come together the way I wanted. The whole thing skewed slightly sweet, which I'm guessing came from the bread, and that threw me off. I was expecting savory, so the sweetness felt out of place. The chicken and the bread were both solid on their own, I just didn't love them as a unit. Good individual parts, disappointing sum.
Definitely need to come in early so you could snag the goodies, we came in a little later than expected but they were still some pastries to pick from. We got the cheesecake and that was yummy, we also snag the sourdough egg tart that was ok. There was 7 garlic herb shio pan left and we got 3, they were good but a little pricey not really worth the cost, as far as quality. They offer espresso drinks and whatnot. Sitting inside is not ideal, it's to cramp and limited. There is outside sitting 20ft away from store. Overall ok experience but definitely come early and be prepared to pay $$ read more

Food: 5/10. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming and felt very average. Everything seemed overloaded with cream, and nothing really stood out. Service: Great customer service from the staff. Ambiance: Nice atmosphere and a decent overall vibe. read more
So I had to downgrade for at least one reason. I have bought more than a dozen Roseberry sourdoughs so far because it is my kid's staple. The bread had a generous amount of rose petals, cranberries (I think), and figs! But in all four that I bought over the weekend, the figs were completely gone and filled with fewer petals, but the price remained the same. read more
Reminds me of 85 degrees and tous le jours, and was pretty similar. Their prices are typically Seattle prices. I thought it was not bad but I went mid day/afternoon and I can tell it's way better fresh. Service was like normal, I thought it was interesting that in the display you tell them what you want and they make your tray. The packaging of everything is very neat and pretty. There's a good amount of seats inside but not for big groups, it's nice on sunny days to just sit outside there's also tables and seats there. read more

Overall very tasty! The purple rice bread was fun, there was purple rice and cream cheese filling but it was a little lopsided so it took eating a good chunk of the bread before discovering it. Egg tarts were tasty, gotta eat it day of to keep crispy. The chocolate croissant was missing a lot of filling but the bread was tasty. read more
Great place to get bakery items in Bellevue! All items are beautiful and of course great quality. Out of everything that I got my favorite was the pistachio egg tart followed by the salt bread and then the roast bagel was OK. Overall, I highly recommend and I would come back. read more

overall I thought it was alright, really cute and clean vibes but I just didn't really love it. It did seem like they were out of a lot of things as some of the spots in the case were empty and we tried to order salt bread and that was also out. Service is pretty fast and friendly and is cafeteria style where you have a tray and pick what you want and pay at the end. Overall all the pastries were alright, I did wish they had more savory options bc I was pretty hungry but def more on the sweet side. I thought the brioant was alright and the garlic salt bread was meh, just wasn't warm and felt a bit hard read more
BA Bakehouse is a new bakery that's opened up in downtown Bellevue. It's their soft launch and they have huge lines sometimes. They have a variety of breads, bakes and coffee to choose from. I've been there twice and it's pretty good. Tried their chocolate mango cake, the papa roti and a brionut. Their cake and papa roti were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the brionut. There's a bit of seating but is pretty tight. Overall, it's a bit on the expensive side though! read more

First time visit and everything was delicious! We ordered 3 different egg tarts, shiopan(Japanese salt butter roll), and a chocolate croissant -- all were so fresh and tasty. The rose honey latte was also great. One thing to know: they offer 2 hours of free parking validation if you park in the same building garage and bring your receipt. We didn't know and ended up paying $6 for nearby parking. read more
Saw this place on TikTok and was super interested in trying the salt breads. There was a decent line on a Saturday. Was unable to get salt breads to try on Saturday, but was able to get them on Monday at 10am and they were soft with a nice exterior! My favorite is the rose bagel it has a nice soft rose flavoring, bagel is savory and tastes so good fresh. They sell them fresh at 11:30am! Wasn't a huge fan of the extra rose petals on the outside of the bagel, but it was easy to take off. Also tried the brionut and wasn't a huge fan of it as the texture of the bread was kind of hard and dry to me, I thought brionut was a cross between a donut and brioche but I think I'm mistaken. Also got to try the honey toast which had a crunchy exterior. read more
soft opening of ba bakehouse--came around 9:30am. parking garage with validation at cashier. confused on where to order and it's with the person by the display case. told to come back later for the freshly baked items in the back. samples available for croissant, brionut, and a couple other breads. brionut--super soft and creamy filling croissant--buttery honey toast--like carmelized toast, a bit dry on the edges sourdough egg tart--super flaky/crispy crust, very strong chocolate flavor. matcha--ok, milky certain items are available at certain times like their rose bagel, salt bread, cream puffs, etc. each item is boxed individually. it is their soft opening so understand the wait times. read more

I came here yesterday with a friend after seeing it on social media and wanted to try the pastries I saw in videos. I bought the garlic shiopan, 3 of the tarts, the nama sourdough, and the mango basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was alright, honestly nothing too crazy, and the shiopan had no crunch and was normal bread like. Halfway into eating the shiopan my dad found a long strand of hair baked into it. This didn't just happen in the shiopan but also the chocolate egg tart that I got. I am pretty disappointed after paying a good amount for these pastries and for finding (and chewing on) two strands of hair in two different pastries is appalling to me. I'm not sure how this happened and wanted to have a good experience but I was just really let down. read more

Congrats on soft opening! So happy to have an artisan bakery in Bellevue. I stopped by around 1pm and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was still a good amount of options left. I got the fig & cheese and purple rice bread. The flavors are so good but please consider writing any common allergens in the pastry labels! I bit into the fig & cheese just now and I think there are walnuts, which I am allergic to. I should've asked to double check but I thought it may be helpful to provide this feedback since it's still soft opening. Also, the purple rice bun is unlike anything I've had before! Love it. Will come back again! read more

This French-Asian fusion bakery has many delicious looking and intriguing pastries to try. The three of us shared 5 items- the pistachio maritozzi, garlic shio pan, sourdough egg tart, papa roti and chicken sausage sando. My favorite was the pistachio maritozzi which was really light and had delicious cream. I'd definitely want to try the other flavors which were berry and strawberry at the time. My husband's favorite was the chicken sausage sando due to the flavor. Everything tasted great though, although the papa roti was a little bland to me but the texture was nice. There isn't much seating inside as it's a narrow space but there's plenty of outdoor seating. The latte was just OK, not very strong and had too much milk. They offer validated parking in the Bellevue Connection garage, which is really nice. The line around 1015am on a Saturday moved quickly although it was longer by the time we got our food and drinks. read more

The shio breads were soft and buttery. I liked the deals they had so you can mix and match different flavors. They had very unique sandwiches. I hope they can add a description of what ingredients are in the sandwich. I didn't realize there was bacon because it was chopped finely within the sandwich and was surprised to find it and I couldn't eat it anymore. read more

I've been seeing this bakery all over my social media and decided to go on a weekday to avoid waiting in line. It is located in downtown Bellevue. I didn't see a sign for free or validated parking. Luckily I found a street parking spot near the bakehouse. I got the sourdough egg tarts, papa roti, and rose bagels. I was looking forward to trying the shio pan, but due to low staffing, they only serve it on weekends and not every single weekend. On display, they had cake slices, bread, and baked goods (such as croissants, egg tarts, and papa roti). It felt like a slightly limited selection for a bakery. I saw a few posts about the rose bagels so I stayed until 9:30 AM to purchase and that's when the line started forming. The rose bagel was good but a bit too sweet and floral for me. It's the prettiest bagel I've ever had and made my entire house smell like roses. The egg tarts were amazing, with a flaky crust and delicious egg custard. Papa roti was buttery in the middle. I recommend microwaving it for 10-15 seconds to soften the bread. Hopefully, I will be able to try their shio pan next time read more

Beautiful space. I don't want to be too critical during a soft open but there's a lot of promise. I was worried that when I headed over this morning, being the first weekend of serving customers, that the line would spill out the door and into the plaza outside, but it was quite a reasonable line, though not so long that I was being asked for my order before I even knew what was on offer. The bakery case only had a few things that they seem to be rotating and trying out before the official Grand Opening. I was told that the most popular thing to get was the Rose Honey Bagel, with a rose cream cheese. So I got that along with a complimenting (not complimentary) Rose Honey Latte. There's a menu of coffee blends but it wasn't apparent to me which one they used for the Espressos. The bagel was too sweet for me, and sticky. I guess I was just in the mood for something more savory but besides the Country Loaf everything else was on the sweet side so defaulting to the recommendation seemed the way to go. I'll certainly be back to see what other tasty creations are in store and hope there's some good deals at Grand Opening! Or maybe a Yelp Event! read more

The presentation of the pastries were very nice. A little pricey but serving is pretty huge. Taste wise, honestly it wasn't that strong. Their savoury bread weren't that salty, and their sweet bread aren't that sweet either. Staff are great and friendly though. Coffee was very simple too. Their food and drink didn't really give me a wow feeling. read more

BA Bakehouse was a pleasant addition to my Seattle trip. There were a lot of pastries I hadn't tried before, and I could tell that rose was the main attraction. I was pleasantly surprised at how balanced the rose pastries were! I could easily see myself going for a second of everything I had (the rose egg tart, sourdough roseberry bread, and a purple rice bun). What I found unique was how the espresso beverages were made for the pastries and vice versa. I could order a rose honey latte and enjoy a rose sourdough bagel. The staff was so patient with me as I snapped excited photos and asked questions. Excellent service and worth a stop. read more

Indulge at this high quality artisanal French bakery, in the heart of downtown Bellevue. All items are freshly baked and hand-made daily, following expected tradition and technique. Due to popular demand, some items may sell out early. Weekends are busy. Nevertheless, the staff is cheerful & accommodating. While tables are limited, there is outside plaza seating, weather permitting. BTW, the coffee roast is excellent. Try their standard & creative beverages. Come visit and you will become an avid and loyal customer. read more

We love all the pastries and the rose Latte. The purple rice bread is so good. The croissants, shopans, pistachio tarts, all are so good. Make sure you go early because the line can be long. They offer free validation for free parking. I am from California visiting Bellevue that day. I am glad I was able to buy all the pastries I like. Next time I will buy more and bring back home in California. Definitely a highly recommended place to add to the list. read more
