Oh yum. The quiche is divine! The ham & cheese croissants are perfect. The ginger-lemon-creme cookie sandwiches are swoon-worthy. They have Morning Glory muffins. Just... oh wow. read more

We were looking for a healthy-ish lunch while running some errands around Silverdale and decided to Monica's Waterfront Bakery. It's a small spot and gets pretty busy around 1130/12PM. The staff are super friendly and seemed to know a lot of the people's names/orders while in line, loved how personal it was. While we were waiting to place our order, we were face to face with a pastry case full of delicious sweets. Being the impulse buyer that I am, we ended walking out with some shortbread cookies, bear claws and chocolate croissants for later. Not mad about it, cause they were all amazing. For the main meal, I got one of their custom build turkey sandwiches piled high with avocado, carrots, cucumber and more. They didn't skimp on the meat and I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. Jaime and my mom got the pumpkin tomato bisque that had some subtle hints of the gourd and a cranberry turkey wrap which I though was pretty delicious. They have a small seating area downstairs with more on top. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great spot to grab coffee, breakfast or lunch while in the area. read more

The food was good but the service was terrible the lady who took my order was super rude and then as I was leaving she yelled at me about my mask as I was about to take it out of my pocket and I was taking a sip of my coffee overall uncomfortable and unnecessary rude treatment. Update : owner was rude to me as I said about my mask I have no issue with masks I work in healthcare for goodness sake but the fact she is denying speaking to me rudely about putting it on is a lie , my friends I was with were beyond shocked at how she spoke to me so her claim that she wasn't rude or impolite is false. Again I have no issue with complying but when your rude to a customer for no reason doesn't help with anything telling everyone this place is not somewhere to go if you want friendly service. read more

I ordered a dill chicken salad (whole), unsweetened green tea and a lemon filled cupcake. Everything tasted soooooo good and fresh. Portion size was perfect! Cant wait to go back. Sorry no picts.... I ate the food on the car ride home. read more

You can rarely go wrong with bakeries who prepare their goods on site! We were in town for just a couple days and every morning my husband walked over and picked up fresh pastries for breakfast. So fresh and yummy! My favorite was a cheesy, fruity tart that was so good. I'll probably dream about them! I stopped by for some cookies this afternoon and they too didn't disappoint. A very pleasant gal took my order and carefully boxed up my order and I was on my way. The prices were very reasonable as well. Give Monica's a try next time you are in old town Silverdale. read more

From out of town, road tripping through the Olympic Peninsula and first stop was Monica's. I enjoyed a great cup of tomato soup with a roll, iced tea and a vegan chocolate cupcake. I wasn't aware a roll came with the soup so an offer to serve it warm would have made it even better! Simple, delicious, fresh! read more

Great americano. Friendly prompt service. Delicious pastry. Upstairs seating area is spacious and filled with natural light. A bit awkward with no background music when multiple couples are using the space. Background music would be nice. Will definitely come back to try more of the food items. read more

I am a first time customer, my son and I had soup and sandwich and a latte, which was wonderful, and I have to say it maybe the best sandwich I have ever had. The bread was fresh baked and amazing, I will definitely go back. read more

Delicious little bakery!!! Nice folks too. Rotating specials and good coffee!! The croissant pockets are super yum!!

Sandwich was delicious! Servers were very nice and their baked goods are delightful. I'd recommend to anyone who's in the area!

Cute cafe near the Silverdale Waterfront. I went with a friend for the first time and ordered the dill chicken salad (delicious) with custom sandwich. Friendly staff and seating inside and out. Did not have a chance to order pastries but hear they are amazing. read more

A little hard to find because it is in old Silverdale area, but what a little gem. You will mostly find locals at this spot. It has a home cafe kind of feel as you enter with the low key seating area. This cafe has some delicious and amazing baked goods. Make sure to get here early, because most of their items sell out rather quickly. If you happen to be in search of some bread, they sell fresh baked loafs and those fly off the shelf. I would highly recommend the half sandwich and soup combo, as they always have a daily soup that they make, along with that fresh bread for the sandwich. It is certainly a place I like to frequent when looking for lunch in the area. It is fresh and local and delicious! read more

I feel that I had a very average experience here. Not awful but definitely not great. I was expecting to be able to see the water from the actual restaurant being that "waterfront" was in the name, but there is seating at the park if you wanted to take your food to go and have a little picnic across the street. The woman at the front wasn't very friendly. Amber I think her name was. I was new to the cafe so when I asked what kind of bread they had and she told me just wheat, I was kind of confused because what sandwich shop only has one kind of bread. Then she explained they made it fresh so they only have one kind a day. Which is actually really cool! However, she kinda spoke to me like I was stupid for not knowing.. To move on to the food. Sandwiches were good, the fresh bread was delicious! They didn't have ranch for the salad like we wanted, so we got a balsamic and it was a little too oily. I finished the meal with a raspberry danish which was definitely my favorite thing out of my whole visit. read more

I work at 20/20 Eyecare Center just up the street from Monica's and I appreciate how easy it is to access them. The food there is so yummy, it's /just/ about worth the price tag! I wish I could afford to go their more often, I usually get a slice of quiche (medium in portion I would say) which runs me $12-$15 not including tip, beverage, or any dessert that day! However, I think that supporting local businesses is important and believe thathis place is worth stopping by if you have the cash and the time! UPDATE: Just went in today for lunch and got the veggie burrito (spinach, egg, feta cheese,, etc.) and holy crap, I think I know what I'll be getting every time! So good! And the mango danish is worth every penny, I hope they'll put it on the menu more! read more

I've posted many times about Monica's because I do absolutely love this business ! I went on Friday with my family to get some to go food, we went to get the meatloaf sandwiches because these are typically our favorite these days. I'm not sure who made our sandwiches but they were not at all good this time which was definitely a bummer. They gave us about half the amount of meatloaf they normally do, the red onions were cut into chunks and therefore overpowered the sandwich and overall it just wasn't near as good as it normally is. It was super disappointing! One of the gals up front was super friendly and talking to us while it was being made so customer service was good but the sandwiches on Friday were not good at all. If that was my first time having the food I wouldn't come back which is a bummer because normally they are amazing ! read more

Thank you Monica! A friend of mine was in town, and I spent - literally - 2+ hours trying to figure out how to get a surprise delivery of baked goods to his hotel after his travel plans changed from Seattle to Silverdale. I found Monica's while doing a Google search, and Monica could not have been more helpful. She recommended all sorts of baked goods, and I decided it was best to leave the final selection to the experts! A huge box was waiting for my friend in his hotel room with a note, and he called me and was as excited as a little kid (he is 46). Great service, nicely done, and I looked like a hero (and my friend got to eat cupcakes, bear claws and brownies in bed) :) read more

Food was very low quality I only ate it because I was hungry and it was very overpriced. Had the bacon cheddar croissant and it was so salty I couldn't believe it. Also it was just super greasy seeping out of the bottom of the croissant into my lap while I'm trying to eat it. My dad complained that his cob salad being simply too small and with his egg pie thing that he also got, there just was not enough food for him to eat. Especially after paying a total of $30.00.

I could easily make the same basic ham sandwich for a fraction of the price. Croissants were good, but everything else was underwhelming. Ambiance is also weird, like my grandma's house. read more

Wow. Food is amazing but more than anything they did the best thing with their pickle service. I don't like pickles (the juice infects an awesome sandwich). Their box service separated my pickle and sandwich so my lunch partner could easily enjoy the pickle and my lunch was pristine. They have water bowls out for dogs, pastries are amazing, and I will be back! read more

We stopped by Monica's for breakfast as we were heading home from a few camping days nearby. Small place that we randomly selected from options on Google. So pleased that we stopped in! So sad that we live in Seattle and it's a 90 minute drive! I had a piece of the sausage, jalapeno and cheese quiche and holy moly, literally the best quiche I think I've ever had. Double the height of a normal piece of quiche, light and fluffy, perfect amount of heat. My husband had a danish which was wonderful, and we each ordered something to take home to eat for breakfast the next morning (he got piece of that amazing quiche for himself since I only let him have one bite!). The coffee's were good as well - but not the highlight of the visit ^o^ On top of it all, the service was so friendly and patient (one of us has a seriously hard time making decisions). I would highly recommend this place if you live nearby or if you're traveling through - didn't try their sandwiches but would definitely give it a shot, I bet they're great. read more

Since I've become aware of food sensitivities to egg and dairy it is SO COMFORTING to know that I can still eat birthday cake. My family orders a vegan vanilla confetti cake for almost everyone's birthday so that I can enjoy a slice with them. THESE VEGAN CAKES ARE BETTER THAN NON-VEGAN CAKES. Seriously!!! They are moist with a satisfying texture, and somehow buttery in flavor. They are PERFECTION and always beautifully decorated. read more

Monica's is a friendly and enchanting go~to! Their cappuccinos are fabulous and the bakery goods are fresh and delicious. I love coming into Silverdale Old Town! There's a house between Monica's and the waterfront park. This is a waterfront district and old town seaport. Silverdale was a working class whaling port 'in the day', not a destination with hotels, so there's no boardwalk or pier. I'm thankful that the Dyers Inlet shore is open to the public, instead of closed out with private homes and businesses. I hope you'll enjoy Monica's Waterfront Cafe and Bakery, and walk over to the park! I encourage you to explore the blocks of the waterfront district, and give these small businesses a try. The walkability is great! It's a community with heart, and there are parks that stretch around the Dyers Inlet end for all to enjoy. read more

Just had a yummy meal of Thai pumpkin coconut soup, Greek orzo salad, homemade roll and chicken caesar wrap. The soup was not too spicy. Perfect seasonings. Sooo delicious. The orzo salad was great couldnt finish it after the chicken stuffed wrap filled my tummy. Soo thumbs up to the gang at Monica's read more

The iced shortbread cookies and morning glory muffins are so good, I buy them often. However customer service is hit or miss. Some of the staff are not very welcoming. Sometimes I don't even get a "thank you". read more

Wow, what a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this when googling for things to do in Silverdale, and as I was hungry, I convinced my sister to come with me. It is in a very cute location, with lots of parking across the street. We walked in and saw an amazing display of quiches, two varieties of stuffed croissants ( you read right-STUFFED), and some delicious looking pastries. The croissant options were Turkey and Gouda, and Ham & Cheddar. There were glazed cookies, cheese and pear danishes, brownies, bear claws, and chocolate croissants We opted for two coffees, a slice of bacon, spinach, and cheese quiche, and a turkey and Gouda croissant. As soon as they got to our table we were inhaling the smells. We were silent while eating, it was SO good. Both plates came with slices of orange and some grapes, a fresh addition to our breakfast. I am beyond happy that I found this spot, and we are planning to go back for some pastries next time, and to walk on the waterfront! read more

If you have time to stop by this yummy little, made-with-love spot, I highly recommend. I was nearby for business and like to try out local spots over any chains. I was throughly satisfied with the generous, mouth-watering spinach, bacon, cheddar quiche for lunch, and hubs loved the turkey, havarti croissant I brought home. And the danish & croissant we enjoyed for breakfast the next day made me mark this place as "a must" the next time I'm back in town. Keep up the great (tasty af) work! read more

Stumbled upon this place while in Silverdale for the first time. Food was tasty! The Caesar dressing was so good and it tasted like the base was from garbanzo beans rather than mayo? Not sure, but it was light and fresh. Highly recommend for lunch. read more

We decided to order a cake here since the normal bakery we order from didn't have the specific flavor of cake we wanted. Previously we have tried Monica's for treats (and loved them) but never ordered cake before. I was on the phone ordering the cake and as I was getting ready to pay, the employee asked if I wanted to tip the baker. I let the employee know that upon pickup I might decide to tip but declined tipping at that time. Pickup day, I had called early to see if the cake was available prior to the agreed time, we had other plans that afternoon so we were hoping we could pickup earlier. Fortunately the cake was ready so we went to pick it up. When we went to into the store, the employee again asked if we wanted to tip the baker, and we decided to although it felt very off-putting how many times we were asked. The next day when it was time to serve the cake, we were disappointed to find the actual cake part was burnt. Aside from that, the cake was okay, but nothing spectacular or too memorable. I do not think we will be ordering cake from here again. The price and quality was not there, and if you're going to encourage patrons to tip the baker make sure the baker doesn't sell burnt items. read more

Five stars from a fellow baker. I love how the menu is constantly changing - both food and pastries. Always something different. I love going here because I value eating locally, from scratch. As another review mentioned, the price is more. But I will gladly pay to have local, organic options that are prepared daily in house. If you want something cheaper, try something that rhymes with "manera" - you'll notice the pastries are atrocious, the salads have wilted bits, and the menu is relatively static. Whereas the food at Monica's really tastes home made. It's thoughtfully prepared and strives to source locally. I love this place! Keep on doing what you do! read more

Notice the 5 star reviews by Monica and Em D. One owns the store the other probably works there. For an owner/employee to write a review for themselves is pretty pathetic. This is the only real review, from a real customer. My family and I used to buy tasty baked goods at this place when it was formerly owned by Kathryn. Now that it's under new management, their baked goods and their customer service have gone SOUR! Monica lacked professionalism that obviously rubbed off on her employees. My family and I have agreed to never come back here again and must warn everyone else. read more

This was my first time going to Monica's bakery. I love that feel of this establishment. The menu isn't the biggest but that's alright because the food makes up for it. The staff was very kind and quick. Right away you see all the beautiful and delicious baked goods that are made in house. I definitely recommend this to those who enjoy food that is made with care and creativity. I will be looking forward to going back. read more

Monica, it honestly pains me to say this: you have a service problem. You may not see it when you're in the store, however you have a couple of employees that are rude, condescending, and quite frankly, embarrassing to be around. Having worked in the service industry, I completely understand how annoying customers can be. They can wear on you which makes it oh-so-easy to become cynical. It's the human condition and I totally get it. That said, you either fake it with a smile, or you get out of the industry. This economy is too unstable to be playing games with precious customers. You may want to conduct some random audits. I really enjoy your products and I appreciate the ways in which you support the local business community. Please fix the glitches and I'll be back. 5 stars for food. 1 star for service. read more

I've been coming here since the start. You can have anything from a cold deli style meat sandwich on their freshly baked bread, various quiche, a number of salads, wraps, egg salad, tuna, meatloaf, and numerous other daily specials. They are all pretty delicious and fresh! What I haven't ever been a fan of here is their soups, while I love the names and sound of ingredients; creamy tomato, broccoli, and currried pumpkin, I don't think there's one that I especially like, the flavors just arent good, at all, ever (to me) and I LOVE soup. They're baked goods while delicious are super spendy and I mean really high end spendy, ok...spendy but WORTH IT!!!! The staff are always friendly. Lines can be long at lunch though the wait is never unreasonable, call ahead if rushed. So as I stated I've been here since the beginning, so what prompted me to write this time around, the last three times I've visited, I went out of my way to come here for certain dishes Monica always has on hand, but on my recent visits she has been out, or got my order wrong or forgot something in my boxed lunch. One time I came from 25 minutes away for their meatloaf sandwich (I know but its good!), they always have meatloaf! Well, they were out, another time recently I came (actually it's been twice now) I came for their pesto tortellini salad that used to be a staple side salad here, alwaaaaays on the menu and again, they were out :( ...so I ordered the quiche; the crab (real crab) and asparagus has always been one of my favorites but this time the crab was particularly strong like out of the can from a country Far Far Away strong! It also didn't come with a side salad like it typically used to and the size shrank it was a very small slice... they always used to put a fresh roll, butter, a side salad and then the quiche...there was no side salad. So none the less I have been very disappointed. And it isnt cheap here, my lunch quickly adds up to $20 (entree, cookie, drink) but you can get a slice of quiche for $8 and a half of sandwich and side for about $12. On a side note I love their cookies they are on the sweet side but what cookie pretty much isn't, buttery, real butter... I like to buy the Christmas cookies they are delicious and you can order them in advance they always do a great job decorating the baked goods, I mean super cute and creative... they take special orders and do catering as well. The freshly baked bread is always worth the price as well as their croutons well the croutons are delicious I don't know about worth the price ($6.99 I think) I will continue to go back -- but I will call ahead before I ever make a special trip again since they run out of things on a regular basis now, and because of my bad experience with the crab quiche last time I don't think I'll have that again. Oh, they have cupcakes they can be hit or miss depending on the flavor, meaning just the right balance of creamy frosting to moist dense cake or dry cake & overly sweet frosting. All bread products; scones, croissants and the bread itself are always good to me. I hope you enjoy your visit, cant wait to read your review! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I read the reviews and perhaps my expectations were too high. The place is VERY small. I got a little claustrophobic. There isn't much room for a line in there and there are only 5 tables on the inside to sit down. I was underwhelmed by the amount of selection they had. Reviews and the website for this place is very misleading. I am sad to say that I will not be returning here. I really did want to like it. read more

I love their quiche, homemade bread/rolls, all of their food I have enjoyed. I appreciate the use of local ingredients. My fave cookie, ginger lemon??, so so good! Fave quiche is Dungeness crab & portobello/roasted garlic :)! Yum! Typically always great service. I hope to one day venture to Italy w them because what I've read sounds fantastic :D. read more

I got lunch the other day here and it was awesome. I got a turkey sandwich and the produce was very fresh, the bread was home made, and the service by Nicole was prompt and efficient. I'd gladly come back! read more

I have been here a hand full of times, mostly for my moms birthday. It's a great little bakery/cafe with baked items like quiche, sandwiches, salads, soups, pies, pastries and cookies. All of the food looks amazing and smells amazing and made fresh every day. A very friendly staff that takes pride in their food and making sure every customer is satisfied. The downstairs portion has more of a cafe style feeling to it with smaller tables for a couple of people and some tables outside by the parking lot. Upstairs has bigger tables for groups of people and there is more room pus they have an outdoor patio with seating to enjoy your food on a warm sunny day. It's a cute quaint little place with tons of character and what I like the most it's located in the old part of Silverdale. The parking lot is small so you might have to park out on the street or time it just right to catch someone leaving. My favorite sandwich is by far the dill chicken sandwich. It's a very hearty sandwich with tons of chicken, lettuce and tomato, it also comes with a huge dill pickle spear and a small bag of chips. As far as dessert I always have to get a couple of their amazingly delicious cookies, they are so good and very hard to pass up. I can't wait to make it back to Silverdale to come back here and eat again. read more

My husband and I came to Silverdale for a job interview & I chose Monica's based on yelp reviews. Thank goodness! It was great- and I ended up eating it again the next day for my interview lunch too! Now, as a picky vegetarian, I appreciate when a cafe can offer me more than lettuce, tomato and cheese on a sandwich; Monica's had avocado & cucumber. I would have really enjoyed some sprouts or Boursin/veg cream cheese or red pepper tapenade with my sandwich. Maybe they could offer that? BUT what I got was fresh, yummy and made with care. There were plenty of choices from soup to sandwiches to combos thereof. Oh... And cookies! Yes, the frosted shortbread cookie I had was killer. Will definitely come back when we are in town. read more

1/2 roast beef sandwich, 1/2 dill chicken salad, tall vanilla latte with soy milk (tall cup smaller than Starbucks tall size) = $18.68 Price quite high in my opinion. I was hungry and wanted something healthy. Roast beef with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and dijon mustard on wheat bread is okay. My tummy fills full after eating all that lettuce in dill chicken salad. Latte tasted good, no burnt taste (I have few places to compared to, avid latte drinker here). Overall my lunch was satisfying, don't give me wrong, but it's possible to have healthy lunch without paying too much. Paid about $20 for 2 people meal at Korean BBQ in Silverdale. read more
