    Staff was nice. Cute small coffee place. Went in to get a couple slices of cake for dessert. Got the gingerbread lingonberry and chocolate forest cakes. Worst cake ever. It could be flavor anything and it would be ruined by how dry the cake is.

    We came in to try and find a cake for an event. This small bakery is so cute. We came at the end of the day but they still had a good selection of pastries and cakes. The service was great. They were able to answer our questions and assist us in ordering a cake. And the cake was pretty and delicious!! When I am in town again, I would love to come back and try more items.

    Yummy cinnamon rolls.

    Apparently, it rains a lot in this town. Plane landing: rain Dinner last night: rain Breakfast: rain Okay, you get it. This is a wonderful little bakery with plenty to offer and many great products. Nordic themed, it's a delightful taste of old country baking. Prepare yourself, however, I believe they do things extra-sweet over there, because that's how everything in here tastes. We had to abandon our plans for the morning, so our first stop was here, which went swimmingly well (see what I did there). They make a fabulous lingonberry tart, but the items that really stand out are the cream puff, the princess cake and the onion cheese puff. Our group found the coffee to be so-so, but I really enjoyed my Shot in the Dark, cold brew. The service is excellent and the workers phenomenal. They showed great patience and were quite helpful to us newbies! 04/25

    We came to Byen just because we were in the area and wanted to try a new bakery. We were so pleasantly surprised. The first thing we noticed is that all the food is priced well. We didn't feel like we were getting gouged for a cookie or a cheese puff. The coffee was priced pretty standardly. In terms of quality, all the food was great, we had the jalapeño cheese puff, the sprinkle cookie and the thumbprints (I think that's what they call them). Only the thumbprints weren't for me. The coffee was solid but half of my 16 oz cup was just frothed milk so it was more like 8 oz, which was a little dissapointing. You'd expect the parking situation here to be difficult but when we came here the street parking wasn't bad, seemed like most people just walked in on foot so the street parking wasn't packed. There wasn't a ton of seating so plan for maybe having to do a to-go order. But they do have both indoor and outdoor seating so that was nice

    Love this bakery! They have a lot of delicious options! My husband and I came on a rainy day. We were able to find some street parking which can be difficult depending on the day/time. Service is friendly and patient. They have indoor tables/seating perfect to enjoy your pastry/coffee there. They have such a big variety of yummy treats and breakfast sandwiches available. I also really loved that they have some cute retail things for sale as well. Breakfast sandwich, mini swedish gooey cake, and some of their pastries were a big highlight for us. I definitely want to come back and try their cakes!

    This is the second time I've been here with my friend. We tried several cake slices, pastries, cookies and croissants: my favorite were the jalapeno cheese puff, almond cookie, and chocolate cake. Staff was friendly and patient as I pick what I wanted to try/bring home. There's enough tables inside and outside to sit and enjoy our late lunch/dessert. The bakery was located in a quiet part of the neighborhood too, and there's always parking right out front. Def coming back to try other baked goods from here.

    Onion and jalapeño cheese pastries

    Smells so good inside! Lots of savory options. Would def recommend this place. We tried the Jalapeño cheese and onion pastry and the pecan sticky bun.

    Nothing, because nothing was ready.

    We had a very unfortunate experience at Byen. We came at 6:45 on Saturday (15 minutes after they opened), and there was literally nothing available. To make it worse, when we asked the cashier how long it would be she walked as slowly as she could to ask the baker. We were told it would be another 15 minutes. Why open at 6:30 when you aren't going to be ready until 7? Super disappointed as we were very excited based on other reviews, but this was a very poor experience.

    Locally charming and Scandinavian goodies made with love! Selection of shortbreads was a lot of fun with such affordable prices-- I enjoyed the buttery goodness and can't wait to see what my coworkers think! The pistachio eclairs was LOADED with pistachios! Wish the praline cake was a little less sweet but the Caramel flavor and the moist chocolate cake was addictive! Thank you to the friendly employee helping us out!

    Located right across the street from Seattle Pacific University, this is a bakery specializing in Swedish breads and pastries. We came because we recently learned about Semlor, and Byen Bakeri was one of the few places that served it. It was a brioche style bun, filled with whipped cream, and a slice of marzipan - so delicious, as was their cardamom latte, and cheesy jalapeño bread. If I lived closer to the area, I would come here all the time! The only downside is parking kinda sucks here, as is typical of old Seattle neighborhoods. I will certainly be back for more of their yummy breads, pastries, and seasonal coffee!

    Nice, cute modern Nordic cafe. Serving up a large selection of traditional and modern pastries. Very quick service.

    Huge pecan sweet roll!
    Kathryn Y.

    A friend has been wanting to take me here and so, we did! Street parking wasn't too difficult and the case was already sort of picked through but still loads of treats to choose from. I had a coffee and sweet roll that was covered in pecans. The roll had plenty of cinnamon and the perfect sweetness. Service very accommodating to answer questions and patient with my inability to make a decision. A few tables inside and outside contributed to a cool bakery vibe. Cookies, cakes and other items were available. Looking forward to going back and trying more of these items!

    Tomato & feta cheese (pretty much inhaled it; bread is like a cross between a croissant and a parmesan-crusted breadstick)
    Gillian A.

    Uh oh, did this bakery actually steal Bakery Nouveau's thunder of being my personal favorite bakery that I've ever tried (so far)??? I think it did! :O Granted, as much as I love croissants (especially the twice-baked one at BN) I think I love danishes more. With that being said, the danishes here are *aMAziNG*! I tried the lingonberry and marionberry ones and what I really like about them is that the fruit fillings aren't overly sweetened and I could actually see some fruit bits. Perfectly soft and chewy danish bread and it even has some croissant-like inner layers to it. I also tried the tomato & feta cheese pastry, which leans more towards croissant style with how crispy it is. Though, what's unique about this pastry bread is that it's like a cross between a traditional croissant and a soft parmesan-crusted breadstick....idk how else to explain it lol. This along with the tomato and feta.....I mean, do I have to directly tell you that this one is a must-try?? :p Pastries will bring you back by about $7 each, which is a bit high compared to the pricing at other bakeries. The thing is that these pastries are really hefty!! I was particularly curious on how much the danishes weigh (these were exceptionally heavy) and using my kitchen scale they're about 1/2 lb each! Lol. Very large pastries as well so easily sharable (well maybe not the tomato & feta cheese pastry as I inhaled that one in like 2 minutes). Make your way here please! :)

    See all

They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (note that pets are not allowed indoors). They have a great selection of hot brunch items, plus pastries and cakes. The whole place is modern and bright. The coffee tasting menu is unique, offering latte and espresso flights, and pour-overs. We tried the latte flight, which comes with four adventurous, creative flavors--including a miso latte! Overall, they were a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but very fun to try. The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside. I loved that the filling was distributed all the way to the edges, so you get some in every single bite. * Chicken Avocado Salad: A wonderfully light meal featuring grilled chicken breast and a light dressing.

It was a fairly…read morequiet lunch rush after 11 am, and there were a couple of people working from their laptops. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the selection of pastries, hot brunch items, and coffee drinks. The coffee tasting menu looked enticing. If I had more time to leisurely work or talk with company here, I would have opted to go this more adventurous route. However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
