after Oktoberfest, what's do you on the way home? Grab a cup of coffee and head out to Cle Elum Bakery and have some goodies. We had some doughnuts smeared with yummy maple sugar, some cookies & fruit bars for the road. We also decided to get some local soup kits since autumn is here and the weather is rainy and getting cold. We also grabbed a garlic cheese bread that will go well with a spaghetti dinner night. Great way to make a memorable by stopping by some baked goods from a bakery that was started as far back as 1906. read more

Service was fine but unfortunately the donuts were greasy and flavorless, and the chocolate chip cookie was rock solid. I didn't finish a single thing I bought. Don't think I'll be returning :( read more

Even the Hamburger and hot dog buns here are next level but really we all come for the donuts. So much assortment it's hard to Make a wrong choice read more

Cle Elum is the sweetest 100 + yo bakery on 90. Doughnuts and sandwiches are delicious. The shop is so charming. I got a hoodie - super cute. They have all kinds of gifty things too - honeys, jams, huckleberry stuff!!! It's a really quick stop - don't miss it. read more

A must try when in Cle Elum! Cle Elum Bakery is known for their handbaked goods. My family and I personally love their donuts, especially their Apple Fritter. Service is quick and straightforward.

I absolutely love this place. Always stop by if I'm biking through Cle Elum. Nice picnic tables outside, delicious donuts, kind workers. They filled our water bottles with ice water on a hot day. The breakfast burritos aren't bad for the price either. read more

Food/baked good AND coffee/espresso = 1 I am only giving it a 1 because they " were sold out" You may think just sold out of food/pasteries Noooooo my friend, they were also cleaned out of hot coffee, customer service and anything else you'd walk in to a bakery hopin for. Service = NEGATIVE (-) 10 ... pool yes you read that right, NEGATIVE "10", and very, excruciatingly EARNED and deserved. I've honestly never received this bad if service anywhere. The girls are so rude, whispering to eachother should but not making my drink or attending to the long line of other customers waiting. My triple shot espresso was cold. I am not sure if they only serve them cold?? I've never had that... Nothing made any sort of sense Paid WELL OVER $30 with tip (which I full regret giving) for 1 small Can Red Bull, cold coffee and disgusting "breadstick". Both of my dogs wouldn't eat them.1 What happened here? I literally have been comin to the bakery since I could walk from my bompas, over 30 years and can solidly say I'll never again waste my time or money there again. Shame to the name kinda heart broken but I can't think of one positive thing to say Btw there's an ample Italian population in the cle elum area, your "breadsticks" which are supposed to be grissinis, are a disservice and horrible representation for our community. Ask a friend before you put something like that on tbd shelf. All and all, will NOT BE BACK, can't wait for another local spot to open up and set the standard/pace in our community for quality goods, service and consumer care. If the other or manager happens to see this, please reach out... read more

We stopped by for a quick treat. The place is cute. We got the cinnamon crisp which we really liked. We also got the bear claw which wasn't my favorite. Note that the place doesn't have washrooms for customers which is a bit inconvenient for folks traveling through and marking quick stop in town. read more

This bakery was calling my hubby's name! Once through the doors ... oh MY! The smell of freshly baked breads was incredible! By 1pm, many delectable baked goods were gone, but hubs snagged a DEEEELiscious maple bar.... And there was a small assortment of yeast breads and cookies. A guy came in behind us and ordered a sandwich-which I didn't realize they sold until I heard him order. Friendly service with a hometown atmosphere and lots of additional local goods.... will definitely stop again in the way over Snoqualmie. You should stop, too! read more

Sometimes I have no game plan and just hit the road. Ended up on I-90 on a particularly warm and windy summer day (7/11/21), never been to Cle Elum, so detoured to get gas and explored the main drag. Saw Cle Elum Bakery and did a U turn to check it out. Wow - well laid out with practically equal parts variety of baked goods and branded merch to select from! Although those fruit pies and some danishes looked enticing, I did see a cool baseball style Cle Elum Bakery Tshirt instead. Decent quality and soft. I tend to wear local sports and culinary destination Tshirts, so I was sold. The friendly young woman behind the counter rang up my purchase and kindly provided a much needed ice water to quench that thirst. I had been stuck in a backup due to construction and distant wildfires at the time. Note to self with a future detour, I'll try not to stop in shortly before closing. Bakeries are my jam and seeing the nearly cleaned out pastry cases tells me I need to return. read more

Aww looks like we got here too late in the day! They only had cookies left at 2:00 pm. I was hoping to try a variety of other baked goods! We tried their cookies in peanut butter, chocolate chip, toffee, and Russian cookies. It was crumbly. The best was the toffee bar and peanut butter. The store had an abundance of honey and jam in different flavors! read more

Soooo freeking good! Donuts were on point as was the coffee! Great service and a very welcoming staff that also gave other amazing suggestions on what to do around town. Can't wait to try the jam too! read more

Came at about 2:00 in the afternoon and their case had a few things in it, mostly cookies. I came for the cinnamon rolls per my mothers request. Grabbed a bag so we could split it. A bag is 8.50 and you get 6 of them. The ones out only had raisins so I am not sure if they all do or not. They are harder and require them to be placed in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Although I'm not a super fan of raisins, these were pretty tasty. I had seen this bakery on tv so I was expecting more. Would like to go visit in the morning next time so everything is fresh. read more

Finally made time to stop. Fortunately it was early morning and the selection was huge. Bonus was cinnamon bread was just finished cooling and getting bagged. They sliced it for us and we had toast all weekend long. My favorite donut was the blueberry cake, not fancy but great texture and flavor. Definitely worth getting off the freeway. read more

My wife and I stopped into Cle Elum Bakery on our way to Spokane. Free street parking can be found. Credit cards are accepted. There is a surcharge for credit purchases under $5. Cle Elum Bakery doesn't offer indoor restrooms; however, there are two outhouse's located outside. There are a few bistro tables outdoors to sit at on warm days. Indoors also has a couple tables. Cle Elum Bakery offers goods such as salsa, pickled vegetables, queso, honey, dry mixes etc. Clothing paraphernalia is also available for purchase. Cle Elum Bakery serves more sweet than savory. There wasn't much of bread/rolls to purchase. One can order an espresso to go with their sweet of choice. My wife ordered a chocolate glazed donut and I ordered a coconut covered donut. Each donut was $1.60. Our donut's weren't as fresh as they ought to be from a stand-alone bakery. Staff members were friendly enough. Overall, I'm glad that we stopped into Cle Elum Bakery; however, I don't think we will stop in again when passing through Cle Elum. read more

Just a mediocre bakery, not worth the stop unless you've never been to a bakery before. Frosting was too sweet, too much and more caramel than maple. The other items I purchased also were just ok, at best. Disappointing variety espigó the breads. read more

Cle Elum Bakery - Bacon "maple" bar. - Bakeries Near Me - Cle Elum, Washington

Cute building but most things on the menu were not made today. Food was ok- not great baking. But really rude workers :(

This is the second time I stopped at this bakery in a matter of months. I thought I had done an initial review but apparently not. Unfortunately if I had it would have been the same as today. I got a butter roll and a raspberry filled. The dough part of the raspberry filled seemed rather dry and heavy. Not something soft and pillowy that I would expect to bite into. The butter roll to my surprise I do believe had a touch of cinnamon in it which I have never experienced, wasn't expecting and didn't care for. That was very dry as well. I don't know whether they have too much flour in the dough, I can't imagine that the pastry sat out because I was there at 10 in the morning. Definitely not a fan! Fortunately I stopped at the farmers market and supported local instead by way of a cherry scone and cherry fig granola. read more

Maybe we got there too late. It was about 1pm. Not much left. We got 3 donuts. Nothing fancy. Taste of maple was ok. The other 2 donuts (forgot the names) were meh. We will consider trying to get there early in future. Staffed by teenagers who seemed more interested in talking to each other rather than customer service. read more

My husband lived in Cle Elum for a couple of years back in the day and we love this place. We actually make sure to stop by every time we are traveling in the area, usually on our way to Leavenworth. The bakery has been around since 1906 and has been family owned and operated for three generations. They still bake their French Bread in the original brick oven which has never cooled in over 100 years! How cool is that? Everything is always delicious, from cookies to donuts, from bread to the cinnamon crisp, which is my favorite. One thing that we always appreciate is how everything is reasonably priced without sacrificing flavor and quality which is a rarity these days, especially for a bakery. Super recommend!! read more

This is a family owned bakery that has deliciously served my family for three generations. I stop every chance I get and often plan trips around it. The cinnamon roles are as good as they come. I buy extras and freeze them. Their Butterhorns melt in your mouth. Their huckleberry jams are to die for. The bakery is the heart of Cle Ellum. And I'm just a stranger passing through. read more

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with many of the others who have driven the star rating down on this place. This is become one of her new favorite spots to hit up when we are traveling over the mountains. Sitting across the way from Owens meats, this carb friendly haven provides a wonderful respite for those who are less interested in meat, or those who love meat but also wish for baked goods. We came in after visiting the meat palace and we're very excited to find that there were plenty of options. The donut selection was plentiful, the cookies lovely, and the espresso surprisingly good! We've become big fans of the cinnamon crunch donut - it's basically a cake donut that tastes like cinnamon toast crunch. The maple bars are legit as are the Seahawks themes pastries, because everything tastes better when your team is good! The cookies are solid with a special shout out to the gingerbread family cookies! Excellent prices, friendly staff and Santa visits in December! Well played Cle Elum bakery! We'll be back and we'll probably be hungry! read more

We came by this bakery as we see it each time we come through. The case was fairly empty fair enough. The cookies did not look appetizing at all. Chocolate chip were so light they did jot look good. We decide to buy some cinnamon rolls and maple sticky buns. They were generic nothing. To scream about. The ambience was nice looked cute. All said I would not make a trip here to visit the bakery. read more

We got an assortment of baked goods and a breakfast burrito. The tortilla on the burrito was stuck to the paper and created a mess. The baked goods lacked flavor for our taste. The staff was friendly. read more

Stop here at this bakery from a suggestion by one of the locals. Great selections! Due to the covid-19- they are only letting 8 people in at a time. I just wish they have gluten free options for people with dietary restrictions. But my husband enjoyed it! read more

Always try and stop in on way to and from Issaquah when I'm heading east or north. Pastries always fresh and to die for and they make good espresso drinks as well. Usually pretty crowded (especially on weekends), but the line moves fast and you get even more time in front of the pastry case to add something to your order ;-) read more

Very cute ambiance. Get here early! Cute variety of gifts, decent coffee and great donuts

I was appalled by how the older lady who works at this place treated my 7yo daughter. She picked up a t shirt to check it out and did her best to fold it back and put it back where it was. This woman scolded her. I hope people see this review and consider taking your money elsewhere. They are in a small town and need the money from people coming from the city to survive. They should treat their customers better. And trust me: I hold my children to high standards and ensure they behave appropriately. What this woman did is unacceptable. Either this place shouldn't be in business or this woman shouldn't allowed to work in customer service, there or anywhere else. read more

So, the bakery is super cute and historic. From a customer standpoint (and employer of a business, myself), I was kind of shocked though to see all employees on their phones except for one girl who seemed to be the only one actually working and also who was the only person to even acknowledge me. I asked this girl (who has excellent customer service) her name and I can say that EMILY is an asset to this place. Great donuts by the way. read more

I just rec'd a gift box that included a 15 oz bag of Wild Huckleberry Pancake Mix from Cle Elum Bakery. No where on this fancy package is a Use By/Sell By date shown. The recipe shows 1 & 1/3 cups of water to be mixed with it which shows no amount how much of the mix is to be used. And, they don't even have their own web site. Doubt that I'll ever patronize this poorly represented business. read more

Unfriendly and curt service. Uneven quality. This time the cinnamon rolls were light and fresh and the chocolate eclair donut was unbalanced: way too much donut compared to custard and frosting. Overpriced. read more

Little neighborhood bakery with donuts, cookies, pies, beverages and merch. I've always heard this place was a destination but I find it to be not much better than most other bakeries of its kind. I got a bag of random donuts and looked through the case closer to closing time so it wasn't full which is understandable. Tried the maple bar among a few others and I'd just consider them good but nothing stand out amazing. For reference though my fav is probably the chuck's donuts maple in Renton or a fresh Krispy Kreme original. read more

I'd heard about Cle Elum Bakery's maple bars and had been wanting to try them for the longest time. On our trip to Canada via Washington, we veered off our route to try these donuts. Unfortunately, we didn't get there until after noon and it was slim pickens on what was left. There were a few donuts and some cookies left. I had a chocolate bar, and the donut was pretty good. Yeast donut, not a cake donut, and it had literally a smear of chocolate on top. Then it had some cinnamon sugar on top of it which I found odd and completely unnecessary. The cinnamon rolls looked delicious. I also had a "divinity cookie" which was really just a flat Mexican wedding cookie. It was buttery, soft, and delicious. The counter staff wasn't super friendly. This was a little too far off the path of our travels to go again, but if you're in the area, it's worth a stop at least once. read more

We went in there for coffee and walked out with coffee cookies. I like it that they had the blueberry. I think it was blueberry maybe huckleberry candies I wish they were a lot closer to me because I could use some more of the huckleberry candies. The app was very friendly and like I said it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and they were still selling coffee. read more

Cle Elum Bakery was a nice little place right on the main road. Easy to find. Tried a donut and a cookie and they were both good. Nice interior, more of a classic-bakery feel instead of the modern coffeehouse feel more places are going for these days, which I liked. The staff were helpful and friendly. Cookies were around a buck and donuts were $1.50 or so. I would recommend Cle Elum Bakery as a place to go. It is a nice break for those driving between the East and West sides of the state. read more
