Hello Robin is one of my favorite places to satisfy a cookie craving, and it's easy to see why…read more Their cookies are always served warm, soft, and packed with flavor. My personal favorites are the Snickerdoodle and the gluten free Chocolate Chip cookie. The Snickerdoodle has the perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar with a soft, chewy center, while the gluten free Chocolate Chip cookie is rich, gooey, and so delicious that you would never guess it's gluten free. The shop has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the smell of fresh cookies baking makes every visit even better. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or sharing a box with friends, Hello Robin consistently delivers high quality cookies that are worth the trip. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend trying the Snickerdoodle or the gluten free Chocolate Chip cookie. Overall, friendly workers and whimsy energy all around.

Tall Grass Bakery honors the sourdough craft with its Baker Street Sourdough loaf…read more Their sourdough had the perfect fermented flavor, crispy exterior, and chewy, airy interior. The flavor was all the tangy complexity that you want in a sourdough loaf and it keeps well in the fridge for days. The only thing that made it better was toasting it and adding a generous slab of butter..absolutely heavenly!

Always friendly and efficient, the owner and staff are wonderful. They have the best baguette around. We also love the olive fougasse bread. They have many kinds of breads for sandwiches AA well as dinner rolls. They also have homemade granola which is excellent. Our family favorites include their German pretzel and their scones. The chocolate hazelnut scone is my absolute favorite but I also enjoy their ginger scone and their seasonal fruit scone. The scones are somewhat unique - more crumbly and less dense than traditional scones.

I knew I had to get my hands on these gooey delights! After browsing through their Instagram, I realized they did not have a storefront yet and it was important to place your order in advance. For my first order, I got their ube mochi and matcha mochi cookies. In addition, I did a half order of their plain ube and matcha cookies. I absolutely loved the richness of the matcha flavor, but the ube mochi cookies stole my heart! I loved them so much that I shared them with some dear friends who also became hooked! My next trip was sparked by their seasonal milk tea bombs. I'm a huge hojicha lover and bought 4 of these to try. They went perfectly with oat milk and I was sad I didn't get more. Fortunately, they still have them in stock and now do hot cocoa bombs! Needless to say, I just placed an order for a dozen ube mochi cookies, some hot cocoa bombs, a taro milk tea bomb, and some hojicha milk tea bombs. I highly recommend you get your hands on their drink bombs before they stop making them next month! They are an absolute treat! I would love to try their Shortbread Cookies & Milk Tea Latte Set, but it's usually sold out. I strongly suggest ordering their baked goods a week in advance. They do ship their cookies, but not the drink bombs. Not only do they have a regular rotation of their baked goods, you can also place a special order for cakes. I love supporting local businesses, and this husband and wife team are great and so communicative! You'll thank me later for indulging on Peony's treats.

After posting my previous review, the owner emailed me directly to offer to replace my order in…read morewhich the all the mochi had hardened and become inedible. Her promptness in addressing it wins 5 stars in customer service. She was also kind enough to throw in an extra flavor of cookies that I had not ordered in my original order. I'm happy to report that these were better than the last batch I had received! I did have to microwave them for 15 seconds before the mochi returned to its stretchy, gooey consistency but they really did taste great when I did that. I noticed as the more days passed after I received the cookies, the longer I had to microwave the cookies before the mochi in the center wasn't hard anymore. Still good though! The ube flavor is actually my favorite now out of their black sesame, hojicha, and matcha flavors. Overall, I'm satisfied with these cookies and was happy to share them with my family. They liked that these cookies aren't overbearingly sweet, which I can also attest to. I am not giving a full 5 stars because although it's not the most troublesome thing to do, it is slightly annoying to have to microwave these every single time I want to eat them. Plus it is a little confusing to figure out how long to microwave them after each day since it requires more time as each day passes (this is only a problem if you ordered as many cookies as I did though, which was 3 dozen). I wish that it was made clear on the website that I would've had to do this before I ordered so many of them. Still, mad respect for the business owner, Jennifer, for going out of her way to replace my previous order. I would definitely recommend this bakery to my friends.

Eschew Wifi-enabled tech-absorption in favor of real conversations, long-form thoughts exchanged with multiple intelligences called for in real human connection, or the simple joy of imagination and day dreaming. I love their decorative little tables facing the quiet Capitol Hill side-street itself not particularly attractive -- but which offers a pause for a bite and a sip without the capitalist rushtime nipping at your heels. I've had their stellar and inventive-flavored macarons, but their cakes are no slouches either. The rose pistachio coffee cake was delectable. I make this place a destination because if I am lucky I can get one of those bay-window tables for a vegetarian quiche or Spanish tortilla washed down by coffee. I noticed the use of fresh herbs and the sense of a good ingredients and home-touch hand with their plates, as opposed to the commonplace, harried, sloppy kitchen production. Their drip coffee was too acidic for my taste (I prefer nutty balanced, chocolatey flavor). Next time I would get a latte. A higgledy-piggledy antique-style bathroom in the back is another sign of a time-hewn, characterful place. The brickwork in their narrow back patio is inviting but on a recent Sunday morning had been snagged for a private party. Finally a note to the artful wall tributes to heroic workers martyrs from U.S. history. The cafe elevates the spirit of care for the working person, which is noteworthy. Counter to the loudest mouthpieces of the modern era that would erase these assassinated/ crushed heroes that fought for the wellbeing and life of working people, you know that it is these heroes' spirit of courage that continues to outshine the capitalist drivel and machine mind of the majority.

If you're at Ballard Farmer's Market, I must warn you that by 11 AM the pickings are quite sparse; if you can show up even 30 minutes before the, you'll increase your odds significantly of grabbing a goodie. Maddy's laminated pastry has a crisp outside that completely shatters when you dig in, which means it's a messy, but delectable treat. The layers are buttery and have a nice chew and the filling combinations are impeccably done. I often think matcha is overrated, but the Matcha Almond Pain Suisse is deliciously nutty with a little bit of grassy notes without being bitter. Seattle Dog Croissant has a very nice quality sausage, but I almost wish more cream cheese to punch you in the face. Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Croissant had a great level of sodium and the cheese had crisped up when it spilled out. IMO Maddy's is better than Petite Pierre, better than Puffhouse, better than La Parisienne. So far, they've had the best pastries I've gotten to try in Seattle.

I honestly was excited to try this place so maybe my expectations was just too high, but it was…read morejust ok. The place itself is very hard to find and park, it's a very small shop with a couple of tables, they should just remove the tables because it's Soo small. Service was fine, pretty standard. Foodwise: the display case was pretty confusing - they have a lot more signs up than the actual food itself, and the menu also shows more. What's even more confusing was the display case can be a little different than what you actually get (ie the funfetti croissant displayed shows a regular croissant shape, but what you actually get is like a pan au chocolat shape)... What we got: - ham and cheese croissant -- not enough filling, and pretty standard Guava Suisse --not enough filling again, good though. Overall, I'm glad to have tried it, but won't be going out of the way for it again anytime soon

I went to this place to pick up a cake my wife ordered for our daughters' first birthday. As funny…read moreas it sounds, my daughter's birthday was on Easter so Liliana stayed late to work on the cake for us on Saturday. I picked up the cake and went home. Little did I know, as soon as I got home, the cake fell apart. I was driving carefully but if you are from Seattle, you know the roads are not safe for cakes. When I got home, I was depleted, sad but it was out of my hands. My wife was so positive and said that's ok, let's make a memory out of that and she planned on fixing it. When she assessed the damage, she didn't feel comfortable trying to fix the cake. So I called Liliana back and told her what happened. Mind you, she's already tired and needs to prepare for Easter the next day, she was so worried and almost got a heart attack when she saw the cake. But she said I am not going to let this happen for your daughter's first birthday even if it means working late and delivering the cake on Easter. I have never ever seen a customer service such as this and the icing on the cake was that the cake was absolutely amazing. If that wasn't enough, she called me the next day to check how everything went and if I was happy. I know this place is hidden but if you are ever in need of any vegan cakes or desserts, you know where to go. I have already told my friends and my family and will continue to spread the word, she's AMAZING!

While visiting Seattle and walking through Pike Place Market on a Saturday, I happened to walk by…read morePike Place Bakery, and the cannolis immediately caught my eye. It's in the corner before the gum wall. I'm a big peanut butter fan, so I had to try the peanut butter cannoli. Overall, it was good! The shell had a nice crispy texture, and the peanut butter cream was definitely satisfying but for me, the filling was a bit overwhelming since there was so much of it. I actually ended up taking out about half of the cream because it was a little too rich and sweet for my taste. That said, the flavor itself was still enjoyable, and I'd definitely come back to try another flavor since their selection looked tempting. A few things to know: they were super busy (not surprising given the location), they do accept cash, and they also take cards, but there's a $5 minimum for card purchases. My cannoli was $6, so no issue there. Overall, a solid stop if you're craving something sweet while exploring Pike Place Market!

After walking the entire market and not deciding, I walked past the Pike Place Bakery again and saw the cream cheese strawberry cup - I became intrigued.

It was cool, but the icing worked overtime to make it enjoyable.
