Unfortunately, we arrived about 30 minutes before they closed, so their selection was limited. But we found a couple of things like their... Blueberry Fritters - deep fried crispy edges with a sweet blueberry swirled throughout the fritter. These were so good! Man, I'd get these again! I also grabbed a bag of Dutch licorice. Decisions, decisions sweet or savory. I went with the sweet and soft ones. Yum. Support your local business.

Wow, what a god send of a bakery! A complete GF bakery?!?! Yayyyy!!…read more I am so excited when I found out they make vegan, dairy free pastries. Double checked...Dairy free means no milk, cream, yogurt, butter etc. so I look for labels that says DV, V. Everything is automatically certified gluten free and there is no worry on cross contamination. They don't use run of the mill commercial grade high gluten flour the website tells all. There's also paleo, keto options. As someone who hasn't been eating butter based pastries due to doctor's orders, this bakery is like finding gold. Our favorite after 2 visits are their vegan dairy free sea salt chocolate chunk cookie, their classic GF big chocolate chip cookie, vegan dairy free banana macadamia nut muffin, and my absolute favorite is their dairy free vegan sweet strawberry scone (with rhubarb, flax and coconut). I typically find scones to be bland and dry. Not these! I enjoyed these so much they were so moist and delicious but what I love most is the chewy bits on the edge. My hubby is a chocolate fiend but he usually get sluggish and sick to his stomach after inhaling a large chocolate pastry from other bakery. He ate their large size classic chocolate chip cookie and it didn't bother him. Tasted amazing too! Their sourdough is one of a kind. It's piping hot and available on a daily basis while supplies last. Nobody offers gluten free artisan sourdough fresh out of the oven on a walk in basis. It stayed hot for hours after I brought it home because it was such a dense dough. When I think about how much more time and work went into these special loaves (not mass produced) and loaded with nutrition, the $23.50 is worth it! The sourdough is super moist if you don't toast it there's almost a slight tacky feel to it. Once toasted, it is the best artisan toast eating experience. This am, I enjoyed an open faced peanut butter and blackberry jam toast. Appreciate also they provide on the package specific care instructions for the best experience. For the price, I made sure we wash our hands and did all the suggested prep needed. My only critique would be transparency on pricing in store and on website. It was mildly shocking when the register total was in the $80 range after 2 sourdough loaves and 6 pastries before tip. After eating it, we realized it's actually worth every penny. Good at a different level. Maybe if they have a daily special would be nice to bring in more people? Well, we will come back regardless! Love this new bakery find!!

I liked this place. It would be on my list of places to walk into when I am in the area. A variety…read moreof baked goods, drinks, offerings. Upon entering, i immediately noticed baked goods display and the drink menu. The case was filled with a bunch of interesting types of baked goods. On top of the rose cardamom latte, brioche tart and cardamom twist. We also got a savory scone and another item that escapes me. I enjoyed the savory scone the most. It had chives and bacon amongst other things. Great texture and not too dry. The brioche tart was a meal all on its own. Heavy and will put you to sleep. The cheese I think that was in there was gruyere but I could be wrong. I enjoyed it but definitely will splooge out if you down eat it on a plate with utensils. Eventually it does get monotonous for me. Recommend sharing it. Cardamom twist was the least favorite item. I'm not sure what it was but there was an essence of something in the background that threw the flavor off for me. I can't seem to describe it. The twist was slightly doughy/stodgy for me. Maybe part of an off batch. I typically do like cardamom centered things. This wasn't my favorite is all I can say. One suggestion I would hope gets implemented is cost of goods displayed for each item. I can say I was surprised at the total during check out. I do go to a lot of bakeries, cafes and artisanal shops. I always felt more at ease knowing what I was getting into from a financial standpoint. Tip is to look at their discounted items. They are a steal. They also have a rewards program that gets you a drink with every new sign up paired with a purchase I wish I had known prior to purchase as I was only able to spot signage at the register.

Thanks to Yelp I came across a new micro bakery within the area just in time as I was hosting a…read moresmall brunch and wanted cinnamon rolls. The ordering process is extremely easy, and offers a wide variety of pick up times for the next day order. I really appreciate the order updates on the day of pick up, and instructions to finding the location. The pick up location was very welcoming and accessible. There were personalized touches such as your name printed on your order, and listed ingredients. The brownies were perfect and filled with chocolate chunks; excellent! The cinnamon rolls are sourdough making them much denser than a yeast cinnamon roll my little ones loved them (the sweet sound of silence while they ate.) Opposite of North Kitchen is sure to gain a lot of business with back to school and the holidays right around the corner. I will definitely order again, and highly recommend!

i've been buying lotus flour bread since the second or third week they arrived at the west seattle…read morefarmers market and i've never looked back. they have quality products and great flavor combinations! i also appreciate that you can often buy a whole or half loaf. sometimes i've seen some special cookies or other sweets and have been tempted based on how well the bread holds up and tastes. from talking with the owner, jolie, i know they use quality cairnspring flour and infuse everything they bake with a lot of passion for the process. one week i inadvertently ended up at home with a half loaf that i believed was mispackaged and not what i had wanted to buy but the next time i was there, i explained what i had had at home and what i thought i had bought. jolie's reaction was everything you want in a vendor: she was so intent on my being a happy, satisfied customer that she made sure i was getting the half loaf i wanted that day and told me not to pay. in general, this experience of trying out a vendor new to my local market and falling in love has resulted in bread purchases every week i go to the market which is essentially every sunday without fail. i highly recommend checking out lotus flour's many options!

Best. Snickerdoodles. Ever…read more Sourdough is the healthiest bread for you, so get the best. I discovered Lotus Flour at the Farmers' Market when the cookies caught my eye-- the Brown Butter Sourdough Snickerdoodles. I thought that sourdough was an interesting base for a cookie, so I thought I would give it a try. These are amazing! Snickerdoodles aren't my favorite cookie, I'm a chocolate chip cookie kind of girl, but Lotus Flour definitely converted me. The best thing about these cookies is that they aren't too sweet-- you get the cinnamon, rather than the sweetness of the cookie base. The sourdough base is the perfect balance. And oh so chewy... The Lotus Flour owner/baker is incredibly nice! There were times when there were certain sourdough breads that weren't available that week, where she let me know it was alright to make a request. I like exploring, so I usually wait for the next market to see what surprises await. Favorites at our house: the Three Cheese, the Parmesan Herb, and the Sea Salt Focaccia. If you're going to get sourdough, get the best, and that is Lotus Flour. We're looking forward to the new Farmers' Market season, or finding Lotus Flour somewhere before then.

The pasties are expensive, as is everything at farmers markets these days, and that's why I've rated these 4 stars. That said, they're big, and they compete with those we've had in the UK. They have flaky crust, and are full of hot goodness. My mom's are way better, but you'll have trouble getting those. Also, no ketchup here, just BBQ sauce and "pasty sauce," which is A1-like. There is a menu of frozen items, which has slightly more choices than the hot menu.
