Baked goods = incredible. Everything else = quite bad. Loved the cinnamon roll and maple roll we bought. So good and could eat them every day! For the bad- I started with a Matcha latte. It was sickeningly sweet and was far too light (too much milk). I moved to an iced green tea, but it was quite watery. We ordered two burritos, a chorizo and a sausage one. Sausage was fine, chorizo had some sort of rice or cornmeal in it and was very crumbly and dry. I can't remember the last time I returned food, but took both the burrito and latte back. My husband's quad shot vanilla latte was also very subpar. Stick with the baked goods and you won't regret the visit! Stray from that path and you'll find disappointment. read more

Must stop anytime you visit Chelan. Their baked goods are top notch! Our favorites are the almond pastries, cinnamon rolls, and apple turnovers. We usually get a bunch to share between our family members. We stayed at Campbell's Resort across the street for this trip and took our coffee and pastries to go so we could enjoy our view of the lake. The servers were kind and patient! read more

Ordered my bread yesterday to ensure I got my loaf of multigrain bread fresh out of the oven. Delicious! The line for coffee was long but moved fast. The servers know their coffee! Great place for fresh treats. Enjoy! read more

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by either the pastries or the ambiance of this bakery. The pastries were subpar and I was surprised that we needed to microwave them ourselves. I love crispy pastries; unfortunately, there was not even a toaster oven for us to use, so everything was soggy and limp. The cinnamon roll was big but bland and dry, and needed more frosting. The quiche was slightly rubbery and the ham cheese croissant tasted mediocre. The space had concrete floors and cardboard boxes in the corner which made the interior feel carelessly done. What I did seriously appreciate was how the cashier gave me 2 pieces of quiche for the price of one ($5). She was friendly and generous and made me feel welcome. I also liked how they have loaves of bread for sale and a discounted section for day-old pastries (on the shelf underneath the small selection of regular ones at the counter). It was nice to sit at the stools looking out the window, looking through their local travel brochures and seeing homemade earrings for sale. I was surprised and disappointed in my experience after seeing the rave reviews on Yelp, but am glad this place exists. read more

We were a group of 6. We ordered coffees and a brownie. The coffee was mediocre at best. However, I'm pretty certain the brownie was STALE and OLD. It was so hard to eat, and it had all the 4th July decorations on it (we went on the 7th). read more

My girlfriends and I came to this bakery around 12, and a lot of the pastries were out. Note: get here early for the best selection!! So we took all the remaining ones they had, and all were a hit that we wished we were able to try the others. We also got the quiches and believe the quiche shells are still a little raw and meant to be baked more upon order or at home. Since we took the items home, we reheated it there. As far as service, the woman was really nice. She felt bad that there weren't more items left but it's not her fault! We didn't mind. All in all, a great little spot to check out! read more

Worst quiche ever. Mediocre coffee. They don't have like an oven to reheat things so, microwaved the quiche and it was very un pleasant.

Nice, convenient stop while on the road. A selection of baked goods and sandwiches. Parking is immediately in front of bakery so you can keep an eye on your car. read more

Excellent coffee, baked goods and service! Loved the tres leche cake and my family enjoyed the breakfast burritos, sandwiches and turnovers. Happy to support a great local business! read more

$17 for two coffees - a 16oz americano and 16oz latte. Crazy prices and mediocre service, we definitely will not be back.

Terrible customer service! They got mad when I told them that they gave me the wrong quiche. Also was served cold and you have to microwave it. read more

The coffee was perfect and the danish was delicious- Not overly sweetened which I love! So many options it was hard to choose between sweet pastries, breakfast sandwiches on homemade bread, bagels and quiche. I can wait to come back next time I'm in Chelan. read more

Stopped by to grab some breakfast. The Chocolate Croissant and the Almond Croissant were pretty good. Had they been warm and fresh, they would have been excellent. Only after we finished did we notice a small microwave tucked away in a corner; honestly even 10 seconds in there would have made a difference (although ideally I'd have loved them warm and fresh). The really nice lady behind the counter also agreed to make me a turkey and avocado sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel which was a fantastic combo. I just wish that they had toasted the bagel first and then made it into a sandwich; the difference would have been night and day. Their freshly brewed coffee is absolutely outstanding. Very aromatic and much better than even some of the really great cafes in downtown Seattle. Overall the food is really good but a little bit of care and attention to detail can really take it over the top. Something simple like warming up the baked good or pointing the customers to where they can do it themselves if they would like can add so much value at no extra cost. It's always the little things... read more

Wonderful little bakery tucked into a small strip mall near the lake. We came here on a Tuesday morning before hitting the road around 10 am and were treated by a delicious display of artiasan goods. Everything from macaroons to chocolate croissants to cookies and quiches. The decision was rough but we decided on an almond bear claw, a chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant. They all were delicious and did not disappoint. We also ordered 2 cappuccinos which were made perfectly, their barista was skilled with packing the grounds and using the perfect temperature to steam the milk. The bear claw was filled with delicious almond and baked crispy on the outside. The croissants were both made with real butter and were buttery and flaky and baked crispy as well. Overall a delectable experience and we will definitely be back next time in chelan. If we lived in chelan they would definitely take all our money! read more

OK reading artisan, I was hoping for crusty bread, flaky pastries, nicely filled items, delicious baked goods, just a notch over a regular bakery. Well, let's say if they wouldn't use the name, I would have had different expectations. I live close to several artisan bakeries, so the bar was pretty high. Let's start with the "Italian" bread, which is really a regular white toast bread. It had a slightly sweet flavor, which was odd and zero crust, all soft dense bread. No harm there if it's called a soft white, but with Italian, it needs a crust and airy dough inside . We bought a couple of pastries, they were all ok, so overall, it's good. They do have a couple of tables, but it's not necessarily a nice sit down place. Just curb your expectations and plan with nicely executed standard bakery items. read more

Delicious!! I have been coming back to Chelan every summer and never knew this bakery was here ! Let's start with the pastry! My mom had a Apple turnover and she loved it! She doesn't have the best appetite being 85 but she devoured it ! We also took home a croissant and blueberry pastry and it was really light and flakey. Lunch sandwich made at home with the croissant was really good. Let's talk about the breakfast bagel. I ordered on a artisan cheese bagel and sausage and it was just really delicious. The sausage was a tad spicy and the eggs were premade but two pieces of egg on my sandwich! What a great source of protein and a start to my morning. They also have ham, bacon and probably just cheese. This is my new go to in town. Super friendly service and reasonable prices ( all four $17 ). Can't wait for another breakfast bagel sandwich! read more

Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery - Sausage Breakfast Bagel Sandwich, Croissant, Apple Turnovers, Fruit and Cream Cheese Danish - Bakeries Near Me - Chelan, Washington

It's been a couple years since my last review - coming back to leave a post-pandemic update! The Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery remains my go-to for breakfast, lunch, and anything in between. I am a huge fan of pastries with my coffee, so this has become a special stop for me over the years when I need a quick sugar or caffeine boost. :) I'm so glad to see that this shop made it through the pandemic and continues to serve Blue Star coffee, artisan breads, and their outstanding specials. After trying all the sandwich options, I remain absolutely committed to the Turkey Avocado sandwich, and always get it grilled! I also try to get whatever fruit and cream cheese danish that's being served at the time. Today, I ordered the plum danish - it was delightfully sweet from the cream cheese and dusting of powdered sugar, with a taste of tart from the fresh plum slices on top. Perfect with an iced latte on this sunny morning! read more

Stopped in for a coffee and pastry and loved that there were plenty of options still late morning in a saturday. The espresso drinks were tasty and they had several alternative milk options. They had both sweet and savory pastry options which was great to see. I tried the almond bear claw and lemon turnover. The pastry was delicious on both! I was hoping for more lemon filling on the turnover but I am a lemon fan so others might find it to be enough! read more

They have quite a variety and the ones that i bought are good. One of bakeries you must try around the area!

Bad costumer service the first day. On the 1st day of my trip the Cashier/barista seemed very irritated at 8am. Very random of which customers she was friendly with in line. We just wanted coffee and pastries. There was only a line of 3 groups of 2 or 3 ppl patiently waiting. Gave the bakery a second chance on the last day to buy bread and pastries before driving 3 hours home. Better cashiers/ barista at 2pm but flies were hovering and landing on the bread and pastries that they were selling fresh off the shelves. And coffee was bland and subpar. Not to mention they were handling cash and food without handwashing or glove exchange. Was hoping to support small business but probably will not revisit, sad. read more

Service was decent, baked goods were fine, nothing special. Our order was messed up as well. It works if you're looking for a quick baked treat. read more

Good pastries when visiting lake Chalan. The almond bear claw I think is what I got was delicious!

Stopped in on our way back home. The chai tea latte was good, the breakfast sandwich was dry but the service was good!

Some of the saddest "bakery" food. Iced tea was a brewed stash tea bag over ice. The turkey avocado sandwich was 1 piece of sliced turkey,1 slice of very old soggy tomato, old brown avocado and half a piece of sweaty cheese. And they charge you $7 for this. We promptly threw the food and drinks away and went to Starbucks where we at least know what we're getting for our money. Do not recommend. read more

A cute little place with wonderful breakfast foods. Loved their cinnamon rolls. My family visited twice during our week vacation in town. We're planning an family Annual vacation in this beautiful town and we'll definitely visit this little wonderful bakery again. read more

We were going on the Lady of the Lake to visit Stehekin, and wanted some snacks for the journey since I didn't have high expectations for the boat's snack bar. It was hit and miss with my selections here, but I'd still be happy to come back for another bagel and danish, and try other items. Salt Bagel $1.50 + Cream Cheese $0.75: I love salt bagels! This isn't the best I've had, but it's good enough to get again. They can slice it in half for you if you want, and if you want it toasted there's a toaster on the side for you to use. The cream cheese is one of those little single use tubs so you can add it yourself. Mixed Berry Danish $3.75: I really liked this! Not too sweet, and the berries added the right amount of flavor. Sticky Bun $3.50: This one was OK. I did like the nuts, but would have liked a bigger topping to pastry ratio. Snickerdoodle $2: I felt pretty meh about this cookie, and I think a big part of that was the temperature. It was slightly on the colder side to me. Hot Chocolate, 16 oz $2.50: Not that great, but it was still something hot to drink on a cold morning. Photo Mention - Breakfast Burrito $5.50: These are already pre-made and wrapped in foil, and sit in the heating lamp cabinet thing to keep warm. This looked to be the same case for the bagel sandwiches. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

We're in Lake Chelan for the 4th of July weekend and came upon a wonderful but understated artisan bakery. The pastries are beautiful, fresh-baked and delicious and for such an understated location, we were very pleasantly surprised. As soon as we entered, the aroma of freshly baked goods got to us. Much better than an much advertised coffee shop up the street. I had a cherry croissant (so fresh and wonderfully tasty) and hubby had a sticky bun which he says was great. We will definitely return . read more

Good breakfast and great coffee. Pastries are very good. Staff wasn't unfriendly but not necessarily real friendly. A little customer service goes a long way. read more

This little gem has the best coffee and baked goods!! Honestly it beats Starbucks any day which is about 30 feet away! Baked goods on a daily, their coffee is delicious and customer service is great. Due to covid restrictions no inside seating but they do have a few tables outside. Do not pass up this place! For the 10 years I've been spending my summers in Chelan, I finally had it in 2020! Don't be me lol read more

Great find! Great pastries. Neat little shop. Very friendly staff. Would absolutely go again.

It was a very utilitarian setting, but quite popular. Our breakfast sandwiches were tasty.

This place is alright. Nothing to give rave reviews about. Or maybe I didn't get the right items. My friend and I got there about 7a and they did not have all their pasties available. We both got sausage bagel breakfast sandwiches and shared zucchini bread. I've had better bagel sandwiches elsewhere and although the zucchini bread was nice and moist, I feel like it would have been better with a light glaze, versus the hard thick glaze on top. I wanted to try the ham and cheese croissant but there were none available at the time... read more

Excellent pastry's and coffee and great service! Locals best kept secret, if we could get in in the summer! I think the secret is out!

I have been to this bakery several times with good results. Today was another story. The rolls were heavy and doughy. Really inedible! The cherry pastry was good. My thought was the dough did not rise but they decided to serve anyway. That is not a good practice to serve low quality food! read more

Such a great bakery and coffee shop. My wife and I had great bagels, a great latte, and a great chai tea. They have a La Marzocco machine for the coffee. Can't wait to try the bread tomorrow. read more

Best bakery in Chelan if not in Washington state. Great pastry items, my favorite is the spinach mushroom croissant. the coffee is always on point. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The owner is pure awesome. She even makes the flour tortillas fresh every day for her burritos. Stop her is a must. read more

Best pastries ever, even breakfast sandwiches! Staff is friendly and professional! Gave me a cake box as well for a cake I was making!

Sad to say our experience at the bakery this time was not as great. We were left so sorely disappointed. Kudos for the staff being so gracious and going the extra mile to make it right. Tldr: Don't look to place a special order, just walk in and get whatever they have that day. No guarantee they'll have your order if you order ahead. We placed an order in July with the owner Lindsay via email. I called the week prior to pick up to confirm the order and was told that the orders are only posted for them a week in advance and they had no way of knowing if they got our order anyways. I figured she must have gotten the order as I distinctly remember sending it. When we arrived on Sunday morning to pick up our order, it did not exist. There was no order for us. So either they forgot our order or somehow they never received it. It was frustrating and disappointing as we had a 40+ person family reunion we had ordered for! Despite the owner not being there, the girls quickly jumped into action and we placed a modified order that was ready quickly. We added a few extra things not in the original order. The girls gave us a small discount for the inconvenience of not having our order even though it wasn't their fault. The Danishes were probably the best thing in the box and they were added in and not on the original order. The cinnamon roll was dense and dry, not as I remember. The brownies were about the same and still pretty good. Overall we were pretty disappointed and I can't say whether we will be back. read more
