Been there many times and I am pleasantly surprised each time I go. Great sandwiches, soup, and cinnamon rolls. Hard to go wrong with the food, but they don't even pretend to offer service. Be prepared to bus your own table, and hope that the wrong employee doesn't get control of the music-not saying that it is bad music, just that one time I took my visiting parents there for an early breakfast, and they had the music at Night Club levels. When I asked about it, I was told it was some employee's birthday. Call me old, but loud house music at 7 am sounds like a horrible present. Pun intended. read more

First time trying this place and highly recommended! We ordered coffee plus a ham and cheese croissant and a bagel with tomato basil cream cheese. Everything was delicious! The croissant was amazing - flaky and fresh. The staff was very friendly and quick. We will definitely be returning as regulars. read more

Got a turkey sandwhich for lunch here, excellent bread as I would expect from a bakery. Good amount of meat on the sandwich as well. Condements were fresh and tasty, but would have liked a few more options to load my sandwich with, maybe spinach. Prices were a buck or two hirer than I would like to pay for a sandwich, but I think the quality ingredients make the extra $$ worth it. read more

Average. Not terrible, not terrific. I live around the corner and often pop in for a bagel and free wi-fi. I like the sun-dried tomato cream cheese, it's quite flavorful and way more tasty than Noah's cream cheese. read more

Got an almond croissant and it tasted like it was a week old. It was dried up and crusty. Gross. When you are charging $4 for a croissant, it should be fresh. read more

I've been with my family several times since my original review and it's definitely better...across the board. Service is faster, quality of food is better, employees are friendly and helpful. I'll keep going back. read more

Insanely good pastries....cinnamon role my favorite using croissant dough...so so light buttery at the same time..but then the pumpkin muffin to die for too!! I always take visitors to their Duvall location! read more

Great selection of bakery items! Love the scones and the bagels, and the challah bread is tasty! They have a kids corner with books and some toys, though it's pretty dirty back there to be honest. The space back there feels a little dark - would be nice to update the furniture, as the old wood and couch feel a little sticky. Food is great, and staff is friendly - a neighborhood favorite. read more

Usually just grab day olds. Great bread, bagels, pastry, salads, and sandwiches. Quiches are a bit bland. Soups ALWAYS have too much black pepper! read more

The homemade soups are delicious. The coconut curry, chickpea soup is my favorite. Everything is fresh, organic and homemade. The perfect place for lunch. read more

BEST SCONES EVeR. And the coffee is really good too. And the sandwiches. You pretty much can't go wrong. And they're kid friendly too.

I enjoy the tuna fish sandwich here, and I've gotten some bagels to go which were also quite good. Haven't tried their baked goods. It has a nice ambiance to sit and relax if it's not too busy. read more

I can't speak for anything other than the bagels -- they are excellent. Its no New York bagel mind you, but believe me there is no such thing as a New York bagel in Seattle -- I've looked for over a decade. This is about as good as its going to get. Of course a close second is Zatz-a-bagel in West Seattle, or Noah's in a pinch. Pike Place bagels is also excellent, but parking down there? Fuggetaboutit. read more

This is still (and will probably always be) my favorite bakery. I am a bit of a regular, so maybe that's why I've never had a problem with service - in fact, most of the people there regularly chat with me, remember my drink, etc. They make delicious espresso drinks, the bagels and croissants are probably the best I've had anywhere, and their bread and soups are also fantastic! read more

This is a popular neighborhood meet up place, but i'd rate the food as just OK. The baked goods are fairly standard, processed-tasting, bland, and overly sweet. The bagels are good, though, as are the soups. The espresso drinks are inconsistant, and the staff still hasn't. Figured out how to move a line quickly and orderly (forget stopping there on your way to work!). Still, great place to bring kids. read more

Dirty place don't recommend eating there. Microwave looks like it hadn't been cleaned in months.

I have been here several times, and more than once, an employee has snapped at me. This evening, I arrived 20 minutes before closing, and she was less than pleased. We ordered a slice of quiche each, and not only is it a tiny piece for $4.50, but you have to heat it up yourself in the microwave provided. I think it is not much to ask to receive hot food at a restaurant. I also ordered a lemon bar. They never gave it to me, despite the fact that my family was there for 20 minutes (heating up our own food). The food is not that great, and the price isn't either. We spent $30 for 2 pieces of quiche, a so-so sandwich, 2 bagels, and a lemon bar we never received. The only thing good here is the name. read more

Great coffee and their bagels are exceptional. If the almond croissant are freshly backed they are truly amazing.

I keep buying bread here because I live in the neighborhood, but it really is not good bread. Now I go mostly just for pastries or quiche. Yum to those. read more

Always get the grateful clubhouse with whole wheat. the bread is soo good. great place for a good sandwich and a good conversation. not the place for you if you like it quiet. often parents bring their kids, board games or even a small band playing. read more

A nice neighborhood spot offering coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and many other items. Food is tasty and there's free wifi. Great place to meet up or get work done, as long as make it through the long lines during certain hours. read more

We love to come here on a Saturday morning for breakfast- their bagels are great and very tasty and they have good pastries as well - their cinnamon roll is made with a croissant dough..amazing :)) read more

Yes, it gets super busy on weekends but it is worth it. The ham and cheese croissants are the reason we get up early on Saturdays. If you're there too late, the bin is empty and sadness fills your heart. I don't love the coffee but it's good enough. Parking can be a pain. read more

Rude and pompous employees. This place was so much more welcoming 10 years ago. Nothing special now. Hard to believe, considering good bakeries are a dime a (bakers) dozen. read more

Had a sandwich lunch here. The bread itself was great, and corned beef only so so. Nice little cafe, with friendly staff. I can see myself coming back. read more

My neighborhood's easiest, least-creepy haunt. Great bagels. Fine sandwiches. Good sugar cookies for the kids. Crap coffee - no artistry, so avoid it entirely. Fun spot for the gamut of ages, nonetheless. Worth a looksie. read more

Great bagels, pastries, breads, etc. Caffe Vita coffee, soups, sandwiches and more. A little expensive but they use mostly organic ingredients. Sometimes wi-fi users tend to hog the inside tables and sometimes the counter help is not super quick but I think they are by far the best bakery in the area and I go in there several times a week. read more

Yep, this is a good place to get healthy, organic bread, especially on the day-old rack. Everything else is downhill from there. Have lived in Wedgwood about a decade and I have been into this place about a dozen times. Music is loud and obviously chosen by the staff, without any considerations to patrons. Service is, as one other reviewer said, 'as if the counter-help had better things to do...' When this place was run by the actual owner years ago, it was SOOO much better, but they moved out of town and the atmosphere and ambiance went out the window. I still go there, but only for the day-old baked goods; but I go in, hope to get prompt attention and then leave. And, look at that, there is hardly ever more than half a dozen people in the business. How I wish that I could go there and sit for a bit. The company also does a fair amount of donating goods to community groups, and I, for one, would really like to give back by being a regular customer. It's just sad. read more

Good bakery, staff is fast and friendly. If you order any kind of expresso beverage, plan to watch and wait -- the baristas rinse and wipe and grind and generally move around a lot, just try to figure out why it takes them 10 minutes to make your drink. It's still a mystery to me. read more

Family friendly and kids friendly. There are pictures on the wall and many comfortable table and chair. Not noisy though. Clean and nice. read more

I stopped by to pick up a large salad because the lettuce at home was past it's prime. Spent 7.95 on a salad. Brought it home and it was at least as wet, wilted and gross as my spring mix at home. I picked out the most wilted and disgusting bits, then put it through my salad spinner. It was still wet and inedible. I'm not going all the way back to Grateful Bread from Wallingford (on a Friday afternoon!) to complain. So yelp it is. Disgusting and a waste of 8.00. read more

We moved to neighborhood recently and I can't believe it took us 6 months to make our way here. The croissants were crispy and had distinct, extremely flakey layers and were delicious! Would not hesitate to recommend! read more

Seriously the best croissant in the city!! Bread is perfect. The sandwiches are delish. Honestly everything I've had here the past several years has been yummy. Coffee is always spot on. Pro tip gonin the am and check the day old rack for 50% off deals! read more

Really awesome bagels! Never actually got any other thing but baked goods there. The cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Flaky, sweet (but not too sweet), sticky and just scrumptious! Their cream cheese spreads are pretty darn amazing too. And they always have challah (for all the tribe members out there). read more

I live in the Wedgwood neighborhood and prefer to purchase locally rather than mass produced products. The bread at GB is wonderful. We purchase the Challah weekly and has become a tradition to take the kids on Fridays to buy Challah and a treat. The chocolate mint brownies are out of this world. They are dense, buttery, minty bites of heaven that bring me back to my childhood. Yum. The Challah is as close to homemade as I have found in the city with the exception of Nosh Away which isn't available in our hood. And the price can't be beat. I would much rather support a local bakery than pay the overhead and fillers to purchase at the grocery store. To my disapointment, the bakery has chosen to be more selective in its clientelle. I walked in this evening to purchase a loaf of sandwich bread to be met with a sign that read 'Any child left unattended will be given a shot of coffee or a zombie puppy.' Reading the sign and recalling previous comment when my daughter began to cry when I didn't give her the chocolate mint brownie to eat makes me realize I will sadly need to look elsewhere for my weekly bread. I can't support a bakery that feels they do not need to cater to families. Glad to see business wasn't affected by Top Pot moving accross the street. read more

If you are looking for amazing bagels, breads, and other baked goods (croissants, scones, cookies, etc.), this is the place! It is not a patisserie type bakery (no eclairs or fancy tarts). PROS = Amazing food and coffee. Get a plain croissant or a toasted bagel. The soups are also delicious. There's a variety of seating for all different party sizes - including a children's area. There's also covered outdoor seating, including a neat outdoor booth. There's a water bowl outside for dogs. The atmosphere is hippie yuppie - lots of young families, lots of dogs outside. They bake their own bread, obviously, so that's also yummy and you can get a loaf for the week! CONS = Very busy on weekend mornings, and a confusing ordering process. The coffee comes out in the same place as the ordering line, so there's often a huge crowd just standing around. Also, it's VERY slow for coffee. This is a not a "get my coffee to go and get out of here" kind of place. I have waited at least 15 minutes for my latte (which is always tasty!). You have to reheat your own food (soups and quiches) in a microwave yourself - which is odd and not that appetizing. This is not your average coffee shop. They have a huge array of baked offerings made right on the premises, not bought wholesale from somewhere else. The coffee is consistently delicious. It's kid-friendly, but also a great place to study or read a book. Sometimes they even have live music! read more

I've now tried this place three times and I have decided it is underwhelming and disappointing. The food is mediocre (the bagels and spread are especially disappointing; and the ham and cheese croissant could have had more than just a teeny slice of cheese and even less ham in it). The servers are indifferent. The coffee takes too long to make and in general, you have to wait too long to order. And as other people have said, the layout is annoying. You can't see the case of food to decide what you'd like until right when you need to order--because everyone in line in front of you is standing right in front of it. And the 50-cent fee for using your card for any purchase under $10 seems outdated. read more

The food and coffee are excellent. Kid friendly (we used to joke pre-kid that we should rent once to bring with us!) and has great local flavor. The treats are a little expensive, but are oh-so-delicious. The only "complaint" is that the service is slow, so if you're looking to pop in-and-out for a quick latte to go, this is not the place for you. You could be waiting up to 15 minutes for your coffee. read more

Eye test the dude running the counter today is one of the nicest people in the history of the human race. I love Wedgwood. God bless and happy summer. read more

Soups are greAt bread is astounding... Salads and sandwiches are very good, never had a bad meal here. Friendly and fun staff.
