Sad to report Phoebe announced her retirement June 4th. She said the business will likely close by early July. On to new adventures! I've been the Duke of Phoebe for at least 10 years. Read that- I'm a loyal regular! Phoebe, her staff and all the goodies they bake will be missed. read more

Phoebe's Pastry Cafe - My last check in before Phoebe retires. 10+ years as "Duke". - Bakeries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Such a lovely little cafe. Limited seating, about 5 booths and a few tables so maybe avoid lunch and breakfast rush if you intend to dine in. We stopped because a friend recommended it and despite being in the area often, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise, tucked away in the southern part of Olympia. Still, it's a much try for the taste buds ESPECIALLY if you love sweets - cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, scones, pies, even specialty cakes, made to order. If you need something more substantial, they also have sandwiches, pot pies, quiches, salads, etc. Coffee's really just a bonus at this point. read more

Love trying the pastries here. Next time I'll definitely try a cake of some sort! The coffee was very tasty as well. I just got a Vanilla latte and that definitely kept me warm on these chilly days. read more

This place is kinda shabby and has convenience store for office workers vibes, but the food they serve is on point. The best cakes I've had in Olympia can be found here. That's not the greatest compliment, since mostly if you want a slice of cake, you gotta get it in the bakery of the grocery store and those cakes are overladen with frosting, but the fact that they use whipped cream icing on the cakes elevates their cake slices above the rest. The people are nice and very helpful, but the only thing I have against this place is they definitely just cater to the office crowd, because they are open in the morning and close at 3pm. If you're jonesing for cake like I am somedays, you're not going to get it after work, so they lose a star for that. I like that they have frozen pies, both in fruit and savory styles, so I'm going to have to try that. read more

Fun place with good food and great coffee. Parking isn't great, but it's worth a little walk.

Welcoming place. Quick service and good choice of treats, coffees and food. Comfortable place to dine in as well as take out. Parking ease front and back. Haven't eaten here in summer but noticed patio furniture and lots of space. read more

I was looking for a hometown bakery that wasn't a Starbucks or downtown with no parking. Phoebe's is the place. Homemade pastries and savory sandwiches, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Good stop for you and your kids, or hanging out with friends. A small seating area rounds out the experience. read more

Dog friendly patio with delicious pastries and hot breakfast. Very much worth the visit during your time in Olympia! read more

This little place is a true treat in every sense of the word! From the delectable little pastries and custom cookies, cakes and treats that are fun for all ages, to the gourmetesc sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. All accompanying each other with fruit, vegetable, and pasta salads, assorted cakes and sugary gifts from the baking Goddesses who put the craft in craftmanship that these truly represent. Fresh coffee, tea, or even a redbull if you crave it. All in a quaint and familiar setting for friends, family, or romantic nook for all to enjoy. Guilty pleasure each time I get to visit. read more

I came in a few days ago to check the place out and get some pastries and coffee. The pastries were great! The chai was okay, but the two stars are solely dedicated to the young man who was at the counter. He was friendly at first and greeted me nicely, but I started to feel very uncomfortable very quickly. He very clearly kept looking at my chest and kept trying to ask me very personal questions despite me trying to politely bursh him off and speak about the food and coffee that they had there. I am all for friendly staff and good conversation, but this became creepy and he was not taking the hint that I was uncomfortable. I would definitely not come in again if I saw that he was there. read more

The food was ok. Nothing spectacular for the price. Not sure if I'll go again. Wasn't impressed with the cookies that I tried.

I can't say enough good things about Phoebe and her team. I've ordered a few custom (and quite silly) birthday cakes from her bakery and she hits it out of the park every time. They're beautiful and delicious, and reasonably priced considering all the labor and creativity that goes into them. Big fan! read more

Great pastries!! Their king cake in 2024 was even better than 2023 version. So much better and fresher than getting shipped.

Crave-able pastries - the cherry hand pie, chocolate eclairs and selection of cookies our families favorite. We have also ordered birthday cakes and the selection of mousse cakes are delicious. Back to the hand pies....the pie crust takes me back to my mom and grandmothers pies -- full butter, flaky and wonderful with an excellent. flavor. Service is friendly, space has room to meet friends. read more

I haven't actually been here, but my sister brought a cheese ball and chicken pot pie to a family gathering...and it was so delicious that I had to look this place up (& leave a review!). Wow!! The cheese ball was amazing (so 70s in my mind; and the perfect party food)!! The crust on the pot pie could make me cry. Yum. read more

I've been here a few times now. This is definitely a Olympia's hidden gem. The service and baked goods are impeccable.

This place is great! It's always special to stop there for the best cookies and hand pies! This time of year I love the pumpkin cookies and all year my favorite molasses cookie! I loved the mufalatta they had ( need to do 5hat again) but I highly recommend for the pastries! read more

Delicious treats, both savory and sweet. Kind staff. Parking is a little tricky depending on when you go, but that's not their fault. *dear yelp, we don't have time for long reviews, we just want to know if we'll get food poisoning or not. read more

My wife works right next-door and was having salad at the picnic table before going in to get coffee. The owner open the front door of the business and yelled at my wife. Are you gonna be a paying customer today? We have gone to this location for years. I don't think a blonde 30-year-old in medical scrubs is hindering your business. This is one way to lose business. But she still went in and purchased coffee after the confrontation. My wife will no longer go to this café. read more

Employees were bickering and arguing in front of customers. Person attending was rude and food was mediocre.

I come here very often at my lunch time and the coffee is delicious, but pricey for an americano. I have been happy with the customer service until after the pandemic closures... The last two times I have been in there has been very short and snippy comments made about questions I had and today I asked for a cup of ice as my iced americano had VERY little ice and the barista told me that she would have to charge for the cup since they aren't doing dishes. I guess I should have just asked her to remake my iced drink WITH ice. It probably would have been cheaper to just give me ice? But what do I know. I am really bummed to lose my lunchtime hang out spot, but I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

We recently had Phoebe's make our mom's 80th Birthday cake! It was not only beautiful but delicious too! Thank you! read more

Daughter lives this place. A wide assortment of pastries that are good. Would ho again.

I drove from Seattle to meet a friend here on a Monday. Nothing in your hours says that you are closed Mondays. That was annoying.

Phoebe's has been my one stop shop for the last 5 years. I've had them make all my sons birthday cakes, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Whether it's a salad and sandwich, cookie and vanilla latte, or a 2 tier custom birthday cake, you simply can't go wrong. I love the staff and the atmosphere and I will always come back to give my business. read more

I had to take in my car at the dealer & this place was just right next door. This cafe always pops up whenever I search for cupcakes so finally! I got the quiche, it was good & hearthy, very rich! I also got 2 slices of cakes (sorry no picture). One was the orangey flavor & the other, I think was a tuxedo, both absolutely good! They also have a lot of pictures on their Facebook page if you're looking for a cake to order. read more

15 minutes before myself and the barista noticed someone took my coffee. The elderly lady nicely said "sorry I took your coffee." And picked up her actual order. Other than that, becuase who doesn't want an amazing coffee, this place is full of great treats read more

Good sandwiches and side dishes. But the cookies cakes cinnamon rolls and turnovers!!! Yes! They are all great. Always get a box of goodies to go! read more

I don't think I've had anything from here that I dislike. This place serves only God/Goddess level food. I am definitely coming back for more. read more

Omg i never really liked bread pudding but making it with day old cinnamon roll and have wiener sweet cream makes it heavenly!

This place is AMAZE BALLS. It is a little cafe tucked in a business park. I had a meeting there last week and had delicious coffee and a savory breakfast biscuit. I also took some items with me for lunch. Prices were reasonable, everything was fresh and nicely displayed, and EVERY single person working there was friendly and helpful. The cafe is cute and clean and I will be back to make my way through all the menu items. read more

Where to begin...so many desserts. Greeted by friendly happy staff and owner! I could not make up my mind and picked three items to go. Cherry hand pie, almond oatmeal bar, and fruit tart. Hand pie gave the hubby goose bumps. Needless to say he loved it. Bar and tart were just as good! Sweet goodness! I'll be back to try another batch of goodness. read more

Fantastic selection. Phoebe waited on us -- bright pink shirt! We had turkey cream cheese and cranberry sammich on wheat bread. Warmed like a panini. Husband says: tastes like more! read more

I'm here on vacation and was looking for a local coffee house. Came across this gem and they have the nicest people working here! My husband and I ordered their blueberry scone and caramel oatmeal bar with their yummy house drip coffee. These pastries are amazing...especially when you heat up the scone first. They have a good amount of seating and comfortable couches for a relaxed setting and ambiance. I would come back here any day! read more

We tried a couple sandwiches, cake slices, fun cookies and a pastry or two. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was super quick and so friendly. Ladies made great recommendations. read more

So fantastic. You must try this place to believe the delicious food they make. I love their fruit tarts and my husband loves their cinnamon rolls. They make their bread pudding from yesterday's cinnamon rolls. Just don't order a London Fog if you want vanilla syrup in it without telling them because apparently they "don't usually" put that in their London Fogs. read more

There is nothing on Phoebe's menu that is not excellent. Highly recommend her cakes and pastries.

Came in with some coworkers for a quick lunch in between meetings. No one had ever been to Phoebe's before so we were all excited to try something new. I got a turkey guac sandwich for 6.99 that was then warmed up. It was smaller then I thought and the guac did not warm up well. I was able to eat about half of it but the rest tasted like I was just eating straight mayo. I did get a slice of carrot cake that was good but the cookie I got for my mom wasn't fresh. Not sure when it was put into the little cellophane bag but tasted like it was made on Sunday and I was eating it on Wednesday. My coworkers thought it was okay. One of them got a slice of cake that she thought had multiple layers of cake but instead it was a heavy mousse, not the same thing. I want to try their pastries but was slightly worried about the freshness of them since they had so much product left over at 1 in the afternoon. Made me wonder if they were going to throw away all of the leftover breakfast pastries or sell them the next day. Not sure but will have to come back in and see. The service was great but 18 bucks for a lunch sandwich, a small piece of cake and a stale cookie seemed a bit pricey. I will stick to my normal lunch spots. read more

No complaints here, I had the turkey panini sandwich with havarti and cranberry cream cheese, it was good. The I got a slice of the lemon cake to take back home to share with my kids. My kids and I thought it was light, fluffy and the vanilla cake was moist and delicious with the lemon mousse filling. It's a bit pricey tho, but worth it. read more

I had visited Phoebe's for the occasional latte and pastry, a sandwich here and there, and have always been happy with the taste of their food and very friendly service. Once while having coffee with a friend at the Cooper Point location, the server brought creamer over to our table because she saw our hands were full with crawling babies, even though the creamer is on a self-serve station - so nice of her to notice how she could help us! I ordered my baby's birthday cake from Phoebe's and the process was easy. I went with their standard 1/4 sheet cake, no special decorations. However, when my husband picked up the cake, the "standard" cake was beautiful! The icing was well done with piping on the edges, and a cute sign with the birthday message. The funny part is that when I cut into the cake, my husband asked what flavor it was and was disappointed to hear it was carrot cake - but one bite in and he was sold! The carrot cake was amazing! So flavorful and moist, just sweet enough, chunks of raisins and goodies, perfect amount of cream cheese frosting to balance the cake. It was a huge hit at the party and we were glad to have leftovers to ourselves! Helpful hint: The Cooper Point location has a sign board out on the sidewalk, almost always with balloons, so that you know where to turn into the office complex to get to them. However, if you're driving a bit quick and miss the sign and driveway like I often do, you can turn into the next driveway and work your way through the office complex parking lot to still reach them. So don't fret if you miss your turn, you can still get to them! read more
