that savory croissant!!! That was the first thing that I tried and WOW .... It definitely left me wanting more!!! The other things I tried was good too but that savory croissant.... ..., I. Can't stop thinking about it!! The cinnamon roll was huge and delicious and the jalapeño cheddar biscuits, sweet croissant, and lye cheddar rolls were all very good but that savory croissant .,,, I must say it what hooked me in!! They were all warm when I got them and completely delicious!! read more

I stopped in for some bakery in early afternoon and they were already sold out of a lot of things, so highly recommend getting there early if you want something specific! I grabbed a baguette, a croissant, and a roll. Everything was really delicious and I'd order it again. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable about ingredients. The ambiance was pretty relaxed. There's inside or outside seating with quieter seating in the back of the indoors and outside. Love their baguettes! read more

Surprisingly, this is my first time here despite it being super popular and well known. We came around 1030 and it was crowded. There was a line but it seem to be moving fairly quickly. Once we got to the front, we saw that a few items were sold out and my goal was to get cinnamon rolls :( luckily they were making them and the lady was nice to enough to suggest to me to let a couple of people order ahead of me first instead of coming out since they are fairly popular, so that's what I did. By the time it was ready, they also had a pan au Chocolat as well so I got that as well as a loaf of ciabatta bread. Pan au Chocolat - sooo good, and so Chocolaty. Love the texture of the croissant as well. We ate half of it fresh and half of it hours later and it was still good. Ciabatta loaf: nice crunchy texture outside and soft inside, I can eat it plain all day Cinnamon rolls: kinda disappointed with this one since everyone was hyping this up for me. Dry, not enough cinnamon, and you have to pay extra for the frosting which is much needed to consider it as a cinnamon roll. Also, way too much raisins. Overall, I can see myself coming back to try their other pastries and bread. They look very good, but definitely come early next time to see all the goods :) read more

Previously, the owners took responsibility for paying their staff. This was great and a welcome change from the normal restaurant scene. However, now the staff voted and would like for customers to be asked for tips. I do not know if their menu prices have been reduced since tipping is now expected. This is truly unfortunate for their customers. It takes the experience from extraordinary to merely average. read more

This place has become out of touch. They push tipping now even though they have high prices. They used to say it was due to no tipping but now staff want to double dip. Avoid read more

Great neighborhood bakery that seems to always have a line. Pastries are good and would keep me coming back but knocking off one star because it's the not the BEST pastries I've ever had. I actually find their olive bread to be the star of the show and would give it 5 stars. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a solid bakery - I would recommend (my sister comes here every time she visits Seattle!). read more

We came to Sea Wolf on recommendation from friend. We wanted a cinnamon roll. It was huge and very expensive but ordered it willingly. However we were hard pressed to find any cinnamon in it or even the taste of cinnamon. A slight flavor at the bottom and middle. Total disappointment and waste of money read more

Listen to me right now. You NEED to go here. They're genuinely making the croissants, pain au chocolats, and bread right out in the open for everyone to see. It does not get more fresh than this. Flaky, with just the right amount of delicious Theo's chocolate. These are arguably the best croissants in America, and I've seen them all. Not to mention incredible service, and beautiful bakery environment :) GO HERE! read more

The green vinaigrette pizza was so good, I can't stop thinking about how delicious it was. The cinnamon roll was also delicious. It's just high quality food, I lowkey wish I could live hear. If I ever go back to Seattle I will not forget this place. Service was good, the seating and stuff was nice. The place has a good look to it, you can see all the baking and stuff happening, it's so cool. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning around 10:45 looking for some yummy pastries. I knew I was in the right spot when I saw the line out the door. Luckily it moved pretty quickly. Lots of sweet and savory pastry options. I really enjoyed the currant scone. Would be interested in trying the massive cinnamon rolls they had next time, saw a lot of people ordering that. They also had a wide variety of bread loafs that looked good as well. Limited indoor seating. Would reccomend but no need to go out of your way to come here. read more

This is my all time favorite place to buy bread and croissants! Seawolf is located right outside of the main area of Freemont where you're able to find generally a good amount of free street parking. The bakery itself is quite small with a good variety of bread and other baked goods. On the weekends there is typically always a long line even when it's raining out and rightfully so. I enjoy getting their savory and sweet croissant as the flavors rotate depending on what's in season and you can tell it's been made the morning of. We typically will pick up a few baked goods to share and take them to eat outside where they share a seating area with the surrounding establishments or at a nearby park. There is some indoor seating but it can feel a little crowded. read more

A recent rainy Sunday morning and the weather wasn't keeping the crowds at bay. The line moved fairly quickly, though, and they have their menu posted up so you can narrow down your choices before you even reach the door. You may still be overwhelmed by indecision when met with the display case. Maybe just get one of each? Tempting! While their shared patio is dog friendly, fur-babies are not allowed inside, so I let my husband make the day's selection for us while I snagged us a table. If you have any allergies you can check out their full ingredients list for each item on their website as their menu doesn't specify everything. So sad I can't have the jalapeno cheddar biscuit [crying emoji]. The savory croissant (gruyere, artichoke, & chive) was really yummy -- flaky and flavorful. I tried the date bread which tasted Christmasy to me but which my husband loved. The foccacia was also good, and latte was average. I didn't care much for the savory lye roll, but I think it was also a seasonal item so maybe in the future they'll have one that's more to my liking. The patio had quite a bit of seating for the 3 or so places sharing it. Unfortunately, it's better suited for less wet weather as the "covering" is more intended for shade than protection from the elements. Overall we enjoyed the items we tried. But would they be worth standing in a 20+ minute line for? Not for me. read more

Atmosphere: 5/5 It's always bustling! Lots of customers, workers working hard making bread. It's cool that you can see into their kitchen where all the bread is made. The entrance might be a bit confusing because it was for me at first. The line starts at the courtyard area - off to the left if you were to face the building standing on the street, so keep that in mind! Service: 3.5/5 I've only been here about 2-3 times, but each time, customer service has been lackluster. The workers always just stood there and waited for me to start listing what I wanted - I'm sure they are super busy and don't have much social battery, but I do wish they were a bit more conversational. Food: 5/5 Although I haven't tried many croissants in my lifetime, I truly believe the croissants from Seawolf are the best I've had (so far). I was blown away by their sweet croissant - such amazing lamination, sweetness, and savoriness. I have yet to try a lot of their stuff, but the sweet croissant and chocolate croissant are easily my favs. Price is up there but it's worth it. They don't have any syrup options for coffee, so I was caught off guard when they said they couldn't make me a vanilla latte. Not a big deal, just take note if you're into that stuff like I am! Location: 4/5 Street parking only - it's a bit difficult to find on weekends. I've only been on Sundays, and I saw that many people parked at the bank right next door since banks are closed on Sundays. read more

Great feeling here. Food is tasty and fun to hang out here and enjoy some coffee and the chocolate chip cookie

In my top 3 for bakeries in Seattle. I really like their pizza that they have during lunch time - it has a perfect balance of savoriness, saltiness, and sweetness with a nice crunch to it. read more

One of our favorite stops (if the wait ins't too long). It's rare to walk past Sea Wolf and see any less than a line wrapped around the sidewalk. We first came here on a weekday lunch time and only had a handful of people ahead of us. Their lunch pizzas were tasty and indulgent and we couldn't help but get a little pastry to go as well. The inside is small but the line moves slowly enough that there is usually a place to sit, with sunny cafe tables lining the windows. I'm consistently impressed with how crispy they can get their pasty crust and a recent pear rosemary pasty blew my mind. Bread selection is pricey but nice, we recently got a rye sourdough that was reminiscent of a scandinavian rugbrod that would be great for smorrebrod. read more

Long line, croissants ran out (how is there no replenishment system for a bakery?), the focaccia was too cold and we couldn't get it reheated. Tables dirty. Sad (To their credit, the savory pretzel roll had a nice sauerkraut, the oat chocolate chip cookie was very good. Also all staff wore masks so yay for Covid consciousness! Had a coffee but you can get that anywhere). read more

My first time seeing currant! I got the currant scone and it was such an interesting flavor. Loved it! I've been to this bakery before when the line was out the door, but I came on a Friday morning and it wasn't packed. The baked goods here are so good! read more

Came here during my first ever visit to Seattle and this spot did not disappoint!! Their wide array of baked items make it almost impossible to pick - but I do recommend their rotating pastries! I had a mushroom croissant-like pastry and a pear-yogurt sweet pastry, both were to die for. Service was immaculate, I felt so welcomed and appreciated the help selecting what to get. The space it large, inviting, and has tons of windows for natural light - the perfect spot to read a good book while munching on some yummy food and sipping on a delicious coffee! read more

YOU HAVE TO GO HERE... I've heard great things about this bakery in the Fremont neighborhood-- it most definitely lives up to the hype! My friends and I stopped by for some delicious pastries after running a 5K at UW, and it was the perfect way to spend our morning. They tend to have a line, so expect a bit of a wait but just know that it's super worth it. They have plenty of tables, and we were able to find one relatively quickly. The baked goods are PERFECTION! They have a seasonal rotating flavor menu, and the croissants in particular are delish. I loved that there was the option between savory and sweet as well. I got a sweet croissant (which right now is a lemon curd with toasted marshmallow) and it was AMAZING! I'm usually not a huge croissant girl but let me tell you that this fully changed my mind?! I also got a slice of the olive foccacia and used it to make a sandwich at home... such a great decision. I'll be back soon! read more

I feel the breads are more the winners here than the pastries! 3 stars on a bad day, 5 stars on a good day. Their baguette is fire, and was sold out at 8:30 in the morning on a Friday one time I went! They restock often, but just have to get lucky when you arrive. I also have really enjoyed the date cake - really good texture with all the seeds and nuts and not too sweet. Just so so: - seasonal croissants, fun rotating flavors but not flaky at all. More like a danish to me. Where I've been disappointed (like 2/5 disappointed) are: - cinnamon roll, way too dry! If I had a redo, I'd definitely need to stick it in the microwave instead of eating it at the bakery. Which is sad, I feel the items should be ready to eat - cookie, also dry 4 stars bc the items that are good are pretty good, but some items are disappointing and why don't they let you heat up your item? :( read more

We walked in 90 minutes before close. There were people sitting and eating/drinking. I was confused because it looked open from the patrons' presence but everything else made it seem closed. None of the people working said a word to us. I walked to what I assume was the pastry case. It was empty and wiped clean. There were about 3 rolls and a loaf of bread and everything else was empty. I stood there for a second looking around. Still nothing from anyone working. No greeting. No acknowledgment of us. No eye contact. So we left. It was such an odd and off putting experience. As soon as we walked out they put up a sign that said they were closed. So don't trust the hours listed on their website. They close early and they apparently run out of items very early. I was excited to try this place but I have no interest in going back. Running out of product is annoying but something that can happen. But rude/unwelcoming staff is something I'm not interested in supporting. There are plenty of other great bakeries to try. read more

We had walked by and saw a line out the door, so we had to see what it was all about. When you walk in you immediately smell fresh baked bread. The croissants were flaky and very good. I tried a scone and it was the right texture, not too dry. The cinnamon role, yikes , it was so dry , you had to pay extra for frosting and we could barely eat it. It had to be a day old. There are tables inside and outside. It was raining , so we opted to sit inside. Seating is limited and there is a table reserved for staff, which is nice, but maybe it could be located somewhere else to maximize customer seating. Based on other reviews, we may have visited on an off day. read more

Yes there is almost always line in the morning but it high quality bread and assorted other bread items. There crew is always helpful considering how busy it is. I know 11 bucks for a loaf of sourdough is not cheap but the care and consistency to make it is worth it. Most commercial sourdough bought at grocery stores can be 3 days old before it hits the shelves. Never at Sea wolf always high quality. read more

After a wonderful dinner at Manolin a few weeks back, I fell in love with the sourdough from Sea Wolf Bakers. Ever since then, I passively tried to find a good time to check this place out, when 2 conditions are met - good weather (there is only outdoor seating as far as I can tell) + waking up early Today, on a Sunday, I just happened to wake up super early, like before sunrise (like 5am haha). This sparked the opportunity to check this place out, as I hear a lot of things sell out early and lines can be long if I go even a little bit later like 10am. I took the bus up north, arrived around 7:10am, and proceeded to order. There were already 5 people in line in front of me, but I probably waited at most 5 minutes. As I want to make sure I try everything I wanted this visit, in the likely chance I come back then I do not have to wake up super early again to get likely-to-sell-out items, I tried: Cinnamon roll: I really love this, and it was huuuuge for $7.25. They used the same dough as the croissants, so it was buttery. There are raisins as well for the additional flavor and texture. It was crunchy on the outside but soft inside, and there is a nice subtle cinnamon flavor. Unlike desserts in a standard American restaurant, this cinnamon roll is not too sweet, my favorite level of sweetness. I added frosting (which is placed on the side) for $1.10 extra. I also expected it to be super sweet, but it was just the right amount and it was more creamy than sugary. The slight downside is that there was a tiny bit of the cinnamon roll that might be burnt, I guess a little overcooked, but that is also because the base of the cinnamon roll is quite sweet. Chocolate croissant: super super flaky and crispy, and super buttery. On Friday, at work, they had super crispy croissants so I was using that as comparison, and this place does it better. You gotta eat it fresh, which is also a huge perk in going early as you know the batches are likely baked not too long ago. The chocolate is dark chocolate which was slightly bitter, but I prefer that. Savory croissant: the savory croissant in rotation has bok choy, tahini, and red pepper which is pretty interesting. The bok choy has a slightly grilled flavor and also quite creamy. The croissant texture is similar to that of the chocolate croissant: super flaky and buttery. I would say the savory croissant is easier to truly savor the original croissant buttery goodness. A big plus is that they do not charge taxes and that tip is included in the price. Even if those prices are baked in, they are still around similar prices to other bakeries I have went that have those prices before tax and tip. It also just psychologically feels better to know upfront the cost, and I wish that more places do that. read more

Whenever I'm in a treat yourself mood, I always make it a point to come to Sea Wolf to indulge in their perfectly crafted baked goods. I've been a huge fan over the past year or so and have become obsessed with their baguettes and croissants. I'm no French pastry chef, but there is something about their croissants that just hit different compared to the abundance of croissants that exist in Seattle. They're super flaky, light, and crisp - I can imagine the crumbs and flakes falling after each bite. The details in the layering is insane and it makes you really appreciate the work that is put into making a croissant. Everything here is decently priced and service is pretty fast despite the long lines. The shop is warm and inviting and it's a nice bonus that you get to see all of the bakers in action. read more

I've been meaning to stop by Sea Wolf Bakers for so long, and it lived up to the hype! Tried the savory croissant and the oat chocolate chip cookie, which were both delicious. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the cookie was caramel-y and hearty with the oats. It's a busy spot; even on a weekday morning, there was a short line but it moved quickly. There's many tables both indoor and outdoor, but I'd guess that on weekends it might be difficult to find a seat, since nearly all tables were full. I've also heard good things about their fresh bread, I'll have to come back for that! read more

Sea Wolf is now probably one of my favs in Seattle and Fremont area. I went on a Thursday around 10:30 and was able to get a table. I ordered a vanilla latte and sweet croissant which was like an apple tart and WOW soooo good! I loved it! The coffee was as good. I really enjoyed both. Only downside is there is no Wi-Fi. I should have asked first bc I went to get some work done but I'm glad I tried Sea Wolf. Definitely recommend. read more

Easily the best croissants and baguettes in the city. They get the stamp of approval from my French husband. They are the closest to the real deal you'd find in France. All the other bakeries pale in comparison. I also really like the bran muffin. No need to tip because they actually do the right thing and pay their staff a living wage. Tax is included too so the price you see is the price you pay. Go there and get a baguette, croissant, or anything really. You're welcome. read more

I had purchased items before from Sea Wolf at the Ballard Farmer's Market but thanks to friend and fellow Elite Marie B. I got to visit the bakery in person Sunday. Wish I had been able to visit pre covid when you could sit inside. Grabbed a few items to bring home and to work the next day. Savory croissant of the day was carrot, flakey and well balanced I'm a savory person at heart so had to get this, pretzel was salted and generous size nice chew, Chocolate Croissant love that they use a very dark chocolate almost pure with out much sugar. The Lemon curd and house made granola was so good. Loved the tartness of the lemon and would definitely buy bag of the granola next time. read more

Sea Wolf Bakers - Cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

During our visit to Seattle in March, we stopped by to get pastries. Their indoor area is not currently open. From the sidewalk, there's an order window and display case of the pastries they're offering for that day. So, you'll order from the ordering window. Then when your order is ready, you'll pick up from the pick up window next to the ordering window. When we were there, they had a sign asking that you still wear a mask when placing your order. All the staff was very friendly. The pastries we ordered: - Savory croissant (carrots, feta, dill) - DELICIOUS! The croissant was so flakey and light. The filling of carrots, feta, and dill paired well together. Nothing overpowered the other ingredient. - Sweet croissant (apple, anise) - ALSO DELICIOUS! Again, the croissant was so flakey, buttery, and light. The apple was sweet and balanced well with the anise. - Jalapeno cheddar biscuit - The cheddar flavor is strong in the biscuit in all the right ways. There's a hint of jalapeno flavor but not spicy at all. While the inside is closed, they do offer outdoor seating around the corner of the shop. They've got a handful of tables and seats. It's at the entrance at the restaurant next door. Definitely recommend stopping in and getting some pastries. Go early if you want the food stuff. They also sell whole loaf breads and buns for burgers, which I heard are phenomenal. read more

I waited 30 mins in line to be served over-baked cinnamon rolls. It was so dry inside and the crust was so hard that my tongue felt cut up and tender afterwards. What a disappointment this place was. The literal icing on top of this crappy experience was that they charge EXTRA for the icing. The raisins were also very hard. I thought they just messed this batch up, but then I saw them take out a fresh batch that looked equally burnt. Ludicrous! See photos for details. Maybe the other pastries are better? I don't think I'll give it another chance, been burnt by this experience (pun intended) read more

I arrive at 6:30am before the bakery opened. It's about an hour drive from where I live, so I had to come by when I had a chance after dropping off my son at the airport. At 6:55 am or so, there were 4 people already lining up. I was happy to see all the lineups at least what I wanted to get, got them all. White sandwich loaf, 2 baguettes, 2 croissants, a chocolate croissant, 2 cheddar lye rolls, a savory croissant, and a cup of Americano. Total was $41. I couldn't resist and ate a savory croissant that has Bok Choi with mustard? Amazing!! I didn't really like the sweet croissant with apple and spice, so was skeptical. But this croissant is spot on. I notice more people lined up after I'm checked out. People DO know the best bakery in town. read more
