    Super kind staff and the black sesame chocolate cake is delicious! SO moist and dense, and the black sesame frosting was just right :)

    Veggie toast
    Torrie N.

    I added more recent pics and am still a fan of Bake Shop! They've been upping their game with some really tasty and creative cake flavors and other specials! Still a fan of the roasted veggie toast and the biscuit as well. Recent faves include the black sesame caramel & chocolate cake. So moist and a great black sesame flavor which adds the perfect "nuttiness". I also loved one of their recent passionfruit cakes that also had chocolate. My only minor complaint/suggestion: - I wish that their cakes and specials were not as limited -- it seems like they will make 1-2 cakes (max 20 slices?) and then they go really quickly. You can always call to see if they have something left, which is nice, but would be great if things were not so limited. - The line can be long and can take quite a long time and then the wait after you order can be a bit long too. I don't recommend coming here if you want to just grab and go in 5-10 minutes. I know it's a small team (and smaller space) and they are making things fresh, but it would be great if things were a tad quicker :)

    Italian Affogato. Limited time drink option
    Aaron B.

    Went here for a quick brunch. Delighted to find this affogato as a daily special drink. Service and ambiance was as great as usual. Such a blessing in the neighborhood to have a place like this in walking distance. Highly recommend quick coffee or small desserts.

    Stopped by with a friend one afternoon and we split a sandwich that was super flavorful, plus a cardamom butter horn - both were absolutely delicious! I honestly couldn't decide which I liked more. We each got a cider chai, which was perfect for the season. It was a bit crowded, so we grabbed a table outside, but I'd love to come back and sit inside next time- the space is so cute and airy. Everything is definitely on the pricier side, but totally worth it for the quality.

    Italian sandwich

    Stopped by this bake shop with a friend since we were in the area for a doctor's appointment. Glad we did! Their sandwiches are served on house-made "dough dough" bread, which is also available for purchase by the loaf. I'm usually not a fan of sourdough because of its tanginess, but this one was surprisingly mild--and I actually liked it! For lunch, we ordered the grilled cheese, roasted vegetable toast, and an Italian sandwich. The half grilled cheese was for my 5-year-old, but even that was a generous portion--definitely more than he could finish. My friend had the roasted vegetable toast; while I'm not the biggest fan of warm, soft veggies on toast, the bread itself really saved it. My favorite was the Italian sandwich--fresh veggies added the perfect crunch, and everything came together so well. For drinks, I tried the affogato with black sesame caramel syrup--a unique twist! The espresso was a bit too sour for my taste, but if you enjoy a brighter, more acidic coffee, you might love it. The space inside is spacious yet busy--it gets packed quickly, especially during peak hours. Seating is hit-or-miss since the line moves in waves, but there are a few outdoor tables if you don't mind sitting outside. Overall, a cozy and comfy spot for a weekend sourdough breakfast or a casual lunch. Would I come back? Definitely--for the bread alone!

    The interior is cute, and it's great for working as there's plenty of outlets. It has a low noise level, but ofc has that nice coffee shop vibe and sounds of the kitchen/coffee & staff. At 2pm on a Thursday, every other person was there with a laptop. The staff were friendly and quick (no line). And, they have a little neighborhood bookshelf right outside. I'd be glad to come back again.

    Black sesame caramel cake

    I came in on a cute Friday afternoon and this place was a bit busy but the vibe is super chill. The music was just LoFi-ish band music but I love the open area and the view straight into their kitchen. Now on to the food. The Black Sesame Salted Cake was LOVELY. I don't have a lot of cakes but I'd say it's the best cake I've had in the past year probably. Sponge was great and there was just the right amount of caramel. My friend got coffee and said it was good as well if that's what you want! Highly recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth.

    Interior with glow of morning light

    Finally was able to stop by this great cafe my friend frequents it and I had been wanting to visit. I was in the area on a Sunday for a pop up near by and finally made it!! Staff is so helpful and friendly made me feel very welcome. There is outdoor and indoor seating. Great space for catching up with friends or hanging on your own. I went with the passionfruit soda and one of the specials of the day a Tomato toast which I believe a light spread of ricotta, with fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, drizzle of olive oil and sea salt. Was perfect to start the morning. Something about visiting an establishment that bakes everything in house that makes it truly special. Definitely will be back for coffee and another bite when I'm in the area

    We came here for a little cafe workday and it was quite nice! I wish there was more seating though since it was quite cramped and hard to find a spot, and the wifi wasn't working so just some small things. I did like the different menu options so we ended up getting a decaf affogato - which was very yummy and had well developed flavors, and a latte which was a classic tasty option. We finished with the cinnamon roll which SO delicious, had such nice lemony flavors in it which was cool so I really enjoyed that. The staff were also really nice!!

    Boying T.

    Food - The ginger currant scone was so good. The light ginger flavor was wonderful. Ambiance - Clean and bright Service - I was looking for a focaccia and the lady helped me out - by telling me it wasn't available because they were training staff.

    I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

The kitchen is open, so you can watch as all of the scrumptious pastries are made. I liked the vibe here a lot. The space is shared with a bagel shop, but there is plenty of room for everyone. Service was fine. The line moved fast, and the prices were reasonable, comparable to other bakeries in Seattle. While I enjoyed the vibe at Sea Wolf Bakers a lot, I didn't think their pastries and coffee were nearly as good as some others I tried in Seattle. The espresso shot I tried was extremely bitter and just not as smooth as it should have been. The savory croissant was ok, but it lacked any big flavors, and the texture wasn't really croissant-like. The hit cross bun was just unimpressive and not very good at all. Overall, I would probably skip Sea Wolf Bakers next time. It's ok, but there are so many other amazing bakeries too. Maybe I tried the wrong stuff?

The hojicha latte was rich and earthy in the best way, and it went really well with the black sesame cookie, which had a great strong sesame flavor, and the texture was perfectly chewy! The focaccia was pillowy and chewy at the same - I could've eaten five of these on their own. The frittata was my least favorite item, but by no means am I saying that it's bad!

I really was looking forward to trying a cardamom croissant or bun but they didn't have either available. My iced latte was alright. Nothing to go crazy over. The cherry foam for an additional $2.00 was very pretty but that's where it stopped at. Absolutely no cherry or sakura flavor. Disappointed. The sesame cookie had a great smell to it. The aroma of sesame was strong. The cookie had a nice crisp to the edge and a chewy center. The sesame taste wasn't as strong as the smell. The spicy chicken sandwich on special was not spicy at all. It was overwhelmingly sweet from the orange glaze/sauce on the kitchen. It was a decent sandwich and I definitely finished it. Just not something I would gravitate back to. I understand the reviews about how this place doesn't live up to some extra hype. It's decent, solid and a great option for the area but to go out of your way for and wait thirty minutes in line? Not really.
