This place was good. I didn't like the birthday cookie I got but I did like the lemon custard thing I got. My hubby chocolate eclair was good but his chocolate peanut butter cookie you could live without read more

Was looking for a local bakery close to the hotel we were staying at. Stumbled upon this quaint place, very close to the Westin Seattle downtown. It had breakfast, fresh a la cart baking, pies, etc. Staff were friendly and quick to serve. I had the Bacon Breakfast Sammy, and took Pain du Chocolat and a small coconut cream pie back. OMG, for a simple breakfast item, what a treat! Warm toasted multigrain muffin, arugula, fresh egg and bacon. Thick and well stacked sandwich!!! The pie survived a 6 hour drove home and was well savoured. We travel to Seattle a few times a year. Will certainly come back to this place for freshly baked awesomeness and breakfast. Thanks for making our morning and evening. Recommend highly. read more

The little coconut cream mmmm...pie. Yes, you can get other things here including salad. Salad! What?! Soup!? What? If you are having lunch, conserve your calories and eat pie. It's the American way. read more

Doughnuts were insane. Hot and fresh out the kitchen/fresh out the frying pan, a little best of both of worlds, and both ridiculously true. They are made to order, served hot crispy and fluffy as all hell, tossed in a super fine sugar/cinnamon mixture. I didn't think I wanted a half dozen (the minimum), until I ate them all and until I realized that Tom Douglas knows WHAT IS UP with that vanilla mascarpone dipping sauce. Ugh, died and gone to doughnut heaven. Additional bonus: the guy working the morning I went was also super helpful and friendly. No line and no wait at 9:00AM on a Sunday. I ate nothing but the beignet style doughnuts and a cup of tea, and even if I did and even if the employee told me to fuck off, I'd still give this five stars. I love you, Tom Douglas. read more

Have any of these reviewers been to an actual bakery? Reasons for suckage: (1) Tiny, no tables, no selection. (2) Overpriced -- a mid-sized apple pastry was almost $6. Unless it's going to give me a backrub and splurt forth a cup of coffee post-purchase, no thanks. (3) Chocolate chunk cookie was rock hard and tasted not unlike a Chips Ahoy. (4) Bread was no different than a loaf you'd pick up at your local QFC. Bottom line: not worth the journey to douche-town. read more

My sweetheart and I stayed right across the street from the Dahlia Bakery during our recent holiday in Seattle. Why it took us several days to pop in, I'll never know, but I want those days back so we can go every single morning. I think we ate here more than anywhere else during our stay, and everything was quite tasty. My sweetheart says the English muffin with egg and asparagus sandwiches were possibly the best culinary discovery of the whole trip! The English muffin with walnut butter and banana sandwiches aren't too shabby either. Actually, at this moment, I am kicking myself for not seeing if we could just buy a bag of their tasty, tasty English muffins to take home. The charming staff was also very nice to me when I spilled most of my morning coffee down my jacket, which is perhaps even better than any of their delicious baked goods. read more

Sweet baby Jesus....their donuts are the best donuts I've ever had..no lie. My friend saw them featured on the Food Network Channel...and I love/hate her for introducing me to them. They are airy, pillowy donut holes rolled in cinnamon and sugar...so warm and fresh...but the best part is is that they give you a side of home-made apricot jam and some mascarpone...its the best combination. I also had their cherry salad...and it was really small and not that great...but the little baguette they give you with your salad is fresh and yummy too. The sandwich that the lady next to us was eating though looked pretty damn good....maybe next time. read more

Ok let's get one thing straight here. Tom Douglas' Dahlia Bakery Donuts are FUCKING AWESOME!

Wonderful cafe/bakery. The avocado toast with chickpeas was delicious and everything else looked amazing. Everyone was enthusiastic and very kind. read more

Alas, I have only eaten cupcakes from Dahlia Bakery, it seems like I would enjoy everything else there, too. That being said, their cupcake is ridiculously amazing. Dahlia only serves one flavor, a dense, dark chocolate that is so moist and chocolately I was floored. Topped off with some pretty frosting petals, the cupcake is a tiny treat that's worth stopping in. read more

Seriously, if you want to spend $2 for one of the best bites of your life, go for the baby coconut cream pie. Flavor, texture, presentation, the whole shebang is pretty friggin' unbelievable. Recommendation to Tom Douglas? 1) Start selling this pie at Serious Pie! I mean, the place is called Serious Pie and you own them both! Plus there really aren't a lot of pie places in town--Serious Pie would totally be *the* spot for all types of pie. 2) Is there any chance of adding banana cream pie to the menu? It seems so closely related to the coconut and, uh, I can't think of anywhere in Seattle better-suited to make it. Yum. read more

Excellent eats. I love the sandwiches! Who else regularly serves a lamb sandwich?! I dunno! Everyone's friendly that works here, just kind of know what you want - people seem to come in clusters to the small place. read more

for all the years i had lived in seattle this is only my 2nd visit. whaaat?!? yeah, i know. ahh i remember the lovely split pea soup and hot sandwiches. but this time i tried something sweet - the rhubarb eclair and mini coconut cream pie. both were delicious and did not give me that heavy guilty feeling afterwards! will definitely be back :) read more

Dahlia Bakery - rhubarb eclair and a mini coconut cream pie - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I moseyed on over here after a good lunch from Lola across the street. My friends have hyped up this place quite a bit, so I'll have to admit I was a bit disappointed by their selection and pricing. While I'm usually okay with paying a bit more for good pastries, I felt the prices here were a bit too expensive for what I received in return. First off, there wasn't much around when I came in around 4. I guess it's a pretty weird time to come in for baked goods, but really? There were only so many items I could look at. Items I fell in love with via Yelp pictures weren't even in the display (which was half empty). I did ask the staff for some recommendations and walked away with a cookie assortment and coconut cream pie bite. The "bite" was really just a bite and was a hefty $2.75 for what it was. While good, it definitely didn't blow my mind and I felt a little swindled by what I paid for it. The cookie assortment was a mixture of their regular chocolate chip cookies and a heavier chocolate brownie type of cookie. While good, again, not worth the price tag. I also found that the cookies were not the soft ones I expected. They're more of the hard, chewy type - which is not a bad thing, but I simply wasn't expecting it. In fact, another patron who just purchased an oatmeal cookie was telling the staff that she could break a window with the cookie and demanding a refund. All in all, I am not impressed by this place although the Yelp reviews looked amazing. Maybe I'll come and give it a second chance, but we'll see. read more

Lovely. That's the word that pops into my head. I mean the place is teeny, there are only a few tables outside, and it's on a random street.. but lunch here was lovely. It was just the right amount of busy the entire time I was there (as in.. the line was to the door.. but never went out the door and seats freed up as people got their food). Eying all the goodies while in line threw me off. Must.. have.. sandwich.. before.. desserts.. This place may look like a hole in the wall joint, but you'd never guess that just based on the food. I wanted to get the buffalo chicken salad sandwich but the threat of Frank's Red Hot in the mix scared my hot fearing palate. My friend, however, had it for lunch and said it was fantastic. I've gotta say I was very happy with my choice of eggplant parm for a sammie. The bread was absolutely fantastic and the eggplant came out perfectly. I've never had such a "light" parm sandwich. Now onto dessert.. I grabbed a mini coconut cream pie (how could I not) and a chocolate truffle cookie. The cashier put my cream pie in a cute little box.. and I let her. I wanted to say, "Figgit the bahx.. I'll jus have it as an appetizer kthx" but you know.. I was trying to give Seattle a good first impression of me.. so I pretended it was a treat for later. Both were wondderrffullll. The coconut cream pie was a wee bit expensive considering the size but the cookie. Oh the cookie was just a great amount of chocolate without being too rich. Throw in an Izze in a can (except tap the lid before opening) and that was one amazing bakery lunch! read more

What to get: Coconut cream pie & freshly made doughnuts/beignets Cute little bakery close to Pike's Place but far enough that it's not overrun by tourists. They have a few small tables outside since inside is really just enough space for maybe 5 customers to stand comfortably. Dahlia's has an assortment of pastries, cakes, and sandwiches - all the baked goods look fantastic. Our friend told us to try the coconut cream pies and so it was great when we saw they had three different sizes. We got two mini/bite-sized pies and also one order of beignets. The beignets are made fresh and covered in crystallized sugar. They also gave us a vanilla bean cream and marmalade. The coconut cream pies were pretty good. You'd think that with bite-sized pies you'd end up with a mouthful of crust and little filling, but it was a good ratio of both. I don't typically eat coconut cream pies so I don't know how it compares, but I would suggest trying it. The beignets now, eaten warm and with the cream and marmalade was FANTASTIC. The dough was fluffy and tender which was great eaten warm. The vanilla bean cream was so good, I cannot even describe. I literally wanted to just eat that alone. read more

A-mazing! Breakfast sandwiches that I would eat anytime of day. I ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich with cheddar cheese, bacon and bacon. I thought the cheddar cheese added the right amount of complexity and almost a kick because of its sharpness. Arugula didn't overpower, but added a spiciness and freshness that was key. So why only 4 stars?? The price, guys. You know me. I'll pay, but I won't like it. Also, the ambiance just didn't feel quite right. Bad feng shui perhaps. I haven't tried the other baked goods, but I will definitely be back. read more

Dahlia Bakery is fab! It's tucked into a little nook and looks to get crowded during the AM rush hours. We stopped by around 9:30am for the donuts, coffee, and a breakfast sandwich. Sadly we couldn't take a coconut creme pie on our 9-hour trek home, or we'd have gotten one of those too! The donuts were FANTASTIC. Delicious, warm, and with little sauces on the side! So good! Also, I have no idea what's in the little dog cookies, but our pit LOVES them! She can't get enough! She keeps trying to sit and give hi-fives without the treats even in sight! Can't wait to come back the next time we're in Seattle! read more

The Dahlia is also one of my stops on the carbolicious holiday dinner run. Russian Tea Cakes, cherry-almond scones, oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and a pie. Such a routine I'm in. If I'm downtown, looking for a sandwich, I will always stop here. And again with the cherry-almond scones and oatmeal cookie. And then there are the tiny coconut pie puffs about which Tiffany wrote. They are just so delicious and just small enough that I'm sure there's hardly any calories to them. read more

Dahlia bakery is a small little bakery with tons of treats and as you know you must get the coconut pie and doughnuts but here are a few other things i tried that were great too -the lemon chia poppy bread is so light and bright i love it. I only wish the glaze on top was smothered all over it because its that good! -vegan coconut carrot cake surprised me because i guess i see vegan, I think it might not have as much flavor but it was so perfect. it tasted like fall and also light and fluffy -brown butter cake with coconut icing- speaks for itself...only wish there was a more powerful coconut flavor in the icing Just plan on ordering a bunch of things because nothing will disappoint! The workers are so friendly and patient too which makes me love this place even more! read more

Stopped by while walking home to my friend's in Belltown for a snack! The oatmeal apricot cookies are delicious. I got that tip from a yelper and I loved it. It had the right amount of chew and sweetness lended by the apricots and the cranberries. It was crisp around the edges. Very, very good. Very cute storefront and somewhat reasonable prices. A good cookie is worth a good price! read more

Tom Douglas, Tom Douglas, TOM DOUGLAS!!! You have out done yourself my friend! This place is so on point! Located next to The Dahlia Lounge, across from Lola's, and around the corner from Serious Pie.. this place is a carb lovers paradise! Ill state the obvious. The coconut cream pie is the absolute best. There is no other pie like this out there. I also bought some cookies that were so good! This man knows exactly what to put into his baked goods to make it Now The curve ball for me was the split pea with ham soup that I had. That soup was THE BEST soup I have had in the longest time. They served it with the softest potato roll EVER! The best thing about this soup is you can tell it did not come out of a can. This was made from scratch for sure. The cashier said the most interesting thing to me when I was asking about the soup. She said "it looks really good today". That basically sold me on the love in the kitchen that went into making this soup. Speaking of the staff I must say that they are extremely friendly and helpful with trying to decide what to purchase (The temptation to buy EVERYTHING is there). I also noticed the staff in the bakery working. Its obvious to me that they all are passionate about what they do and it reflects in every bite! read more

That was the best eclair I have ever had. Period. Jeepers - the vanilla cream had actual flecks of vanilla in it; the chocolate ganache was so rich and creamy and just the right chocolate flavor; the pastry was delicate and crunchy and airy. Jeepers. I wanted it to last forever. And then there was the pear tart pastry with caramel sauce. I am a sucker for all things with pear and this did not disappoint. No, that's too much of an understatement. This thing is what I will measure all pear pastries against for the rest of my life! I thought the caramel sauce was superfluous ... and then I tried it. Uhhhhhh. And then there was the inconspicuous, the shy, the understated fig bar. Move over Newton, there's a new sheriff in town. And this sheriff is chock-full of so much figgy goodness that you will be regular for weeks. And what a lovely egg wash - can you do a better job with the egg wash? No, you can't. So beautifully glossy as to make me pause before handing it over to my toddler. You can't go there to eat - no tables inside. You can't go there for reasonable prices - $6 for pear excellence! What? You can't go there to swing a cat - there were two linebackers in front of me and they took up 1/2 the space. But you can definitely go to DB for some bitching baked goods: delicious and beautiful to boot. read more

In this season of pumpkin spice, it is rare to find things made with actual pumpkin. I stopped into Dahlia Bakery for the first time on an impulse (thank you, open parking space!) and decided on the pumpkin eclair after being assured that it did, in fact, taste like pumpkin. I didn't eat it until the next day, but I was still blown away. The filling was rich and custard-y, tasting much like pumpkin pie filling, but with a richer texture that matches a traditional pastry cream-none of those cheap knockoffs like pudding or frosting. So PUMPKIN. The frosting on top was perfect. I licked the edges of the pastry boat to eat every last bit. The flavor reminded me of nicking the melted glaze from the bottom of a cinnamon roll pan, and it melted on my tongue. The shell itself was light and well-made, but I ate mine the next day, so I can't really comment on it properly. Sadly, the pumpkin eclair is a limited flavor, but I will be back next week to try the new flavor, maple! read more

Had a breakfast sandwich here before exploring Seattle. Delicious. Fresh English muffin with a fried egg and tomato. Best English muffin I've ever had! It was great. I got a mini coconut cream pie for later, but didn't think it was that special, but I wish I could have tried more things. read more

I have sampled many of the fine bakery goods that are offered at Dahlia's but the thing that brings me back time and time again are the Fig Bars. They are absolutely the best! The amount of fig center is huge with a light and fluffy, almost pie like, crust. Why is it not 5 stars? The cost of 3 fig bars and two cookies is $13 and change. What did I learn today? I am not the only one that likes the fig bars. They were sold out when I came by around 1pm. Very sad. read more

Good. Very good even. But not the best bakery I've had the privilege of enjoying in Seattle. Still, completely good in its own right, and I can't think of anything better in its immediate vicinity, so that counts for a lot, I'd say. So, picture this. It's a beautiful Friday morning in mid-May, and Seattle hasn't really seen a whole lot of sun. So someone, and I'm not naming names here, decides that it would be a great day to play hooky and spend downtown and along the waterfront, just basking in that glorious ball of light in the skay. So someone, still not naming names, did just that. First stop, Dahlia Bakery. Ooh, anticipation. Okay, so park, walk, turn face up to sun. Check, check, check. Get to bakery. Yay! Hmm, greeting isn't that pleasant. Boo! Order asparagus and fried egg sandwich and an order of beignets. Yay! Stare, while trying desperately not to drool as there were two very hot men in the tiny shop with me at the time, at the amazingly scrumptious and decandent baked goods on the wall. Yay! Marvel at the mini coconut cream pies in the refrigerator case. *drool* Oh, darn it! Covertly eye the two cuties who were playing on their phones. Yum! Name is called by same unpleasant greeter. Pronounced "Brian", in spite of the six times it needed to be repeated before being spelled. Whatever, give me my beignets and sandwich, lady! I don't need you anyway! Take beignets and sandwich and wander out of the store after a brief, but obviously meaningful few seconds of eye contact with Burberry tie hottie. Score! Walk the four blocks down to the little park at the end of Pike Place. Hey, it's the cheese festival! More things I love! Sit at round table, gazing off towards West Seattle. Ahh, the red cranes. Hmm, birds are accosting me. I don't like birdies, Sam I Am. Fine, this sandwich is calling my name. Mission: Ignore Crows commences. Mmm, delicious roasted asparagus, cheddar cheese, fried egg inside of a delicious (and it actually might have been the best part) English Muffin. Eat your heart out, McDonald's. THIS is a breakfast sandwich featuring an English Muffin. Oh, the crow is on my table. Don't think I won't hit you with my book, mister. Hmph. Oh, little chickadees. Well, you're still filthy birds, but you're cuter filthy birds, so I'll feed you little bits of the bread. Cool. Now, the beignets. This is a little process. Get out the little containers of perfectly sweetened vanilla mascarpone and rhubarb (!!!!) compote, and place them just next to the bag of beignets. Take out first beignet. Tear in half and take a nibble to see how good it is without the glorious accoutrements offered. Yum. Very delicious. Now, dip un-nibbled half in mascarpone. Nibble. Oh, wow. Really, really good. Does mascarpone always taste this delish? It should! And the rhubarb compote, so good. Tiny bits of rhubarb in the thick saunce...it's like they knew I was coming in that day. Or that "Brian" was coming in. Share beignets with two little children. What? I know how to share! Sheesh, oldest child here. What was mine was ALWAYS two other peoples, too! Anyway, beignets shared with children, English Muffin shared with the little chickadees, and nothing for the crows. Winning! read more

I went to Lola for brunch one day and was blown away. I had to try Tom Douglas's Dahlia Bakery across the street. It's just as amazing. we ended up getting tomato soup, Hawaiian pork with pineapple, choc. pudding, a cookie, a whole loaf of banana bread, a strawberry ice cream sandwich and a bag of Beignets. Oh sooo good This is my new favorite spot for Beignets in the city. (p.s. they serve them over in Lola too) read more

I knew I couldn't leave Seattle without having something from here. I got the doughnuts (which comes with vanilla mascarpone and strawberry jam) and my husband got the egg sandwich with bacon. Holy moley. I am so glad we do not live in Seattle because if we did, we would eat here everyday. The doughnuts we warm and super yummy by themselves but once I added the mascarpone and jam, they were heavenly. Although my husband loved his sandwich, he couldn't keep his hands off my doughnuts. read more

Dear morning crew at Dahlia bakery, you guys stole my heart and I love you for it. So what's good: Savory scone and ham cheese croissant. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and coconut cream pie All the breakfast sandwiches Flourless cookies and carrot cake My dog loved the dog biscuits and the ladies working the morning shift! read more

Was in Seattle visiting friend's and had a chance to stop by Dahlia's while my friends were sleeping (see? there are benefits to being a morning person!). I ordered the Fried to Order Donuts with Mascapone and I believe an Apple jam... seriously deeeelish! I normally forgo donuts because I think they're too many calories for the amount of enjoyment I receive from them. However, these were different and worth every last calorie! they were light, airy, hot and covered with cinnamon and sugar (like a zeppole). The combination of the donuts with the two dipping sauces can not be beat! Six donuts come in an order; I tried to save two for two sleeping friends... let's just say the donuts did not survive my walk home... early bird gets the worm! Other items I got: coconut cream bite (yum!) and Starbucks drip coffee. I know this is blasphemous to say in Seattle but I wish they had better coffee... that would be the only thing I would change about this place. read more

It was good. Small place. They sell Starbucks drip or prepackaged coffee. Would have liked to have brought my own. Got the ham and cheese croissant. I guess I should have asked it to be warmed. Didn't want to get back in line. It was good. Also got the fresh beignets, which weren't anything like a beignet I've had in New Orleans or made at home. Was more like a mini fresh donut hole. Hubs got a beautiful loaf of bread for later. read more

The offerings at the Dahlia Bakery were numerous and delectable. Tom Douglas is the chef generous behind many restaurants, including this bakery. His baked goods are distributed to his restaurants and nearby businesses. Seattle is indeed lucky to have access to such perfected carbohydrates. We had a beef Sammie (sandwich) with caramelized onion, beignets with a berry compote and whipped cream, and a whole wheat French roll. No complaints here! read more

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat and it was DELISH! I had the egg sandwich and you could tell they make them fresh b/c the eggs didn't look like some artifically constructed circular glob but rather like a real egg! The beignets are uh-mazing, seriously get them now. The vanilla mascrapone and rasberry jam were great compliments to an already fabulous donut! Their entire selection of pastries looked so good and if what we had was any indication to the taste of the other items - you can't go wrong! read more

My loverman and I came here while we were waiting to be seated at Serious Pie. It reminded me a lot of Tartine Bakery in SF but way cheaper and not as good. There were a lot of things that sounded amazing but weren't available anymore. I ended up getting the Summer Eclair while he got the Savory Brioche. I was surprised at how cheap everything was. The Summer Eclair was pretty good. I didn't try the Savory Brioche because there was meat on it but he said he loved the cheese part, unfortunately right after he said that, the rest of the cheese fell to the ground. Haha. We were also lucky enough to find seats outside of the bakery. I hated how small it was inside and whoever decided to make their inner door open towards the store is an idiot. read more

I had been craving beignets and Yelp said this was the place to go to satisfy those cravings. We also ordered their bite sized coconut cream pies and a fig bar. I loved the toasted coconut and the crust on those pies. I know Dahlia bakery is famous for their coconut cream pie but I just don't get it. They were good but what's so special about them? The fig bar was HEAVY. I nearly dropped the bag as they handed it to me, not expecting the weight. It is extremely filling. It has lots of fig filling and it is not too sweet. I loved the cookie part. The beignets come with blackberry jam and vanilla mascarpone. The jam was good but had seeds and chewing the seeds ruined the soft pillowy bite of the beignet. So I piled mascarpone cheese on mine and ate the leftover with a spoon. Yum. read more

Okay, I must preface this with the fact that my sister works here, so I am a bit biased. When I first tasted the coconut cream pie years ago at Etta's, I was hooked. I love Tom's tomato soup for lunch. It comes with a fresh baked roll. So good for dipping into the soup. Their turkey sandwich is tasty also. Their peanut butter cookie is soo sinfully delicious. You can't go wrong here for lunch! It's all take out, but they have a few tables outside. It's very dangerous to have family working here.. but ooh, so good. read more

Fantastic! Had the bacon breakfast sandwich, highly recommend. Everyone was super friendly with nice smiles, all the pastries looked very good, and although the place was small it was inviting and warm. It is a literal hole in the wall and gave me a city feel of stepping out of the rain, into a small but special spot. Very good experience all around! read more
