I visited Stehekin Pastry Company on both days of my stay in Stehekin because how could I not? It's one of those places that draws you in with the smell of fresh baked pastries and it's kind of one of the only places to eat in Stehekin!!! On day one, my friend and I made a pitstop during a bike ride and split the marionberry pop tart which was huge and as delicious as it sounds - flaky and not overly sweet. The next day, we went back and shared the cinnamon bun (which lives up to the hype) and a slice of quiche that was flavorful, filling, and a great balance of hearty and light. I also ordered a hot latte which gave me the energy I needed for another day of exploring! The service was a little hit or miss - friendly but inconsistent. I can understand, though, as this place gets busy and the employees were very clearly working hard to keep up with orders. I appreciated the day old bin which is not only budget friendly but perfect for PCT hikers! The Stehekin Pastry Company felt like a true community hotspot as I saw locals, visitors, and PCT thru-hikers all gathering over coffee and baked goods. All in all, Stehekin Pastry Company is pretty much a must visit when you're in Stehekin. There is great food and a great atmosphere in one of the most beautiful, remote places you may ever visit. It's worth the wait! read more

The cinnamon roll I have to say was almost too big lol I wish they had options of smaller actual single serve things because as a small eater I want to eat the whole thing but hit slightly made me ill. I would go back but next time I definitely would try and find someone to share my food with. Everything was huge, but amazing. read more

Stehekin Pastry Company - Walnut caramel cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Stehekin, Washington

A must visit!!! The bakery has a lot of great options and a delicious variety. It's true that it's the only bakery around Stehekin and one of the only places to eat, but it's still 5 stars. If it were in Chelan or Seattle or anywhere else, it would still do very well. The sticky bun was a highlight for me. They had a maple bacon cinnamon roll that was very tasty. I had a premade bbq cheddar sandwich that they heated up for me and it was SO GOOD. The cinnamon rolls were large and very tasty but I think other items are better. You can't go wrong! Highly recommend spending time here. We made it here a few times in just a 24 hour visit to Stehekin read more

There are not a lot of options to eat at Stehekin. But don't be concerned that the good reviews here are because of that. If Stehekin Pastry Company were in a major city they would do well too. Amazing baked goods, a small, but excellent selection of ice creams and great coffee and related beverages. Check out the Washington Walnut pie, which is an amazing twist on a pecan pie style. Service was excellent. Prices reasonable. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Such a friendly bakery in the lovely community of Stehekin. We were lucky enough to ferry in to the town on their annual donut day! Absolutely loved the toasted coconut bismark, which was so light and fluffy. We were there for just a few days but probably ended up eating close to 8 slices of pizza here, as it was such a tasty and easy snack. Already dreaming of the next backpacking trip that will clearly have this as a stop read more

Stehekin Pastry Company - Donut day! - Bakeries Near Me - Stehekin, Washington

Stehekin Pastry Company was the highlight of our day trip to Stehekin. You absolutely must go here while in this remote town. This quality of the baked goods here rival the best bakeries in major cities. The food stood out so much that we went here for both breakfast and lunch on the same day (we ate lunch even though we were still stuffed from breakfast!) Biscuits & Gravy ($8.95) - Wow, this might be the best biscuit I've had outside the South. Super buttery and fluffy with a great texture. The gravy also does not disappoint - thick and decadent white sausage gravy, with a hint of red pepper heat. The meat was quite tender, not like the typical packaged breakfast sausage. This meal is very heavy - one order is enough to feed two! Sticky Bun ($5.25) - This is one of the most decadent sticky buns I've had. A nice crisp basked crust with a fluffy, somewhat cinnamon-ey interior. On top was chopped walnuts and a really great sticky hardened caramel. As a bonus, this bun was absolutely giant. Chicken Pocket, Ranch Bacon Chicken ($7.95) - This is essentially a much better version of the current Costco chicken bake. Stehekin Pastry Company basically bakes a really big chicken bake, on the order of 2 or 3 feet long, and slices off portions to serve. We got the very first slice out of the oven. The chicken bake had a thinner crust studded with crisp melted cheese. Inside we had a layer of melted cheese, ranch, bacon, and chicken. The chicken seemed to us like a frozen grilled chicken breast - it was quite salty and some pieces were a bit spongy. It also had those fake grill marks like on the frozen chicken breast strips. Not the best quality chicken, but perfectly adequate here given their space limitations. The construction was actually quite good - they made sure to place a layer of cheese as a barrier before adding all the other wetter ingredients to prevent the crust from being soggy. I definitely recommend getting things fresh here, but they do have a day old section that has $3.50 sticky buns, $1.00 brownies, etc. At the bottom of the fridge with pre made sandwiches, they also have day old pizza slices and croissants for $2.50. They also have a variety of ice cream flavors (sourced from Cascade Glacier and Tillamook) and a full cafe drink menu. If you're ever in Stehekin, you have to make a stop here - it's a requirement for a full Lake Chelan NRA experience! read more

Was looking forward to visiting this bakery during our trip. I mean, theres only 2-3 options on the island for restaurants. We came in around lunch time on our bikes, parked out & went in. Ample of sitting space in & out of the bakery. Service was good. Many appetizing pastries to look at. Not many Vegetarian options. We ordered their:- Cheese pizza slice:- Ok ok. Chewy Veggie pizza slice:- pass The Green Machine Sandwich- Too little quantity for the price. Good taste. Comes with a side of chips plus a slice of pickle. Cinnamon bun- The much hyped bakery item. Good size. Taste was mediocre. Overall, good pit stop. read more

As the sun rises and says hello to the surrounding mountains and reveals reflections of the ancient giants off the glassy surface of a lake so clear and blue, it reminds you of a pool, the smells of cinnamon rolls and sticky buns waft outside to the small eden that lies outside a place we've never been to, but somehow seem familiar. The sign confirms where you're going and in the background, horses play in a nearby pasture, while birds sing and a gentle breeze rustles tree leaves - a sound that reminds you of how quiet and peaceful this plot of heaven is...That was our first three minutes at this place, before we came inside! We first read about the Stehekin pastry company a couple years ago after a friend went up to the area for a weekend. We finally made our pilgrimage to this delightful little town at the north end of Lake Chelan. This spot is one of three total places to eat and the only one specializing in carbohydrates! There's literally one road in the town and this place lies at the bend in the road after the first long straightaway. It would be very difficult to miss it. It seems like it was probably an older house that was re-outfitted and is in as picturesque a location as we've ever been. Upon entering it was like getting a hug from the smells - it was so good we went outside and back in again just to have the experience again! They have tables and chairs inside and out with more room than you need to have an appropriately distanced breakfast or lunch. The food offerings here are nothing short of incredible. Giant sticky buns and cinnamon rolls were the mainstay of the morning, with scones, muffins, savory filled croissants and biscuits with gravy as other options. A sidenote, they probably have the best biscuits and gravy that I've ever tasted! They also had plenty of lunch offerings which were predominantly sandwiches, pizza and soups. They also had just got a chicken pocket which is basically a larger version of the Costco favorite, a chicken bake. It was delicious chicken with bacon and ranch wrapped up in bread and covered in cheese that was toasted on the outside. If they have it, you should definitely get one! Soups and salads are the sides available and were excellent. The baked goods - available all day, but predominately for snacking - included some next level cupcakes, five delicious types of cookies, a couple of bar options which you should definitely check out (the Kuchen- basically a cheesecake bar, and the mountain bar - thinks mounds in a cookie bar form), A number of delightful pies, As well as strudels and other various carb filled delights. We had about 15 different things from here over a three day and loved everyone of them! They also have eight or 10 ice cream varieties as well as plenty of espresso and coffee options. They've also got the best sourdough bread we've tasted! As people who don't like to eat at the same place twice, it should be noted that we enjoyed the total of for meals to be here over a two day period. The different options, the serene setting and the friendly people make this place absolutely unforgettable. It honestly might be our favorite place on the planet. If you ever have the option of coming up here, you should take it and make this stop a frequent one! read more

Really sweet service, but their pastries are just okay. Everything tastes pretty stale and like it was made 1-2 days ago. The coffee is fine. Not bad--it definitely gets points for being the only bakery here. read more

Delicious food and I'm so excited they had low carb, sugar free items that were incredibly delicious! The coffee drink I had was tasty and the bakery was amazing with a fresh raspberry sauce. I am staying nearby for the week so I will be back. What a great treasure nestled in Stehekin. Seriously, their pastries rival any other fine bakery in a bigger city. The croissants looked amazing. I did not try the cinnamon roll or sticky buns but they were HUGE and looked delicious. The low carb items were what excited me!! read more

A trip to Stehekin is really not complete without a visit to the bakery. We rented bikes and wrote a short distance to the bakery, and are very glad that we did. We arrived in the afternoon, and were still pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of desserts and pastries still available, and that they were still being made fresh throughout the day. We especially loved their lemon cloud cheesecake, huge, cinnamon rolls, scones, and actually really everything we tried! They also serve coffee and more savory breakfast/lunch items. They have a gorgeous indoor and outdoor area for you to enjoy your food as well. read more

This is one of the handful of places to check out when on Stehekin and it truly does embody the kind of small business that has got their rhythym down to a tee. When we went, there were a ton of people - and we had to wait in line to first order and then stand in another line to pay. We got the two daily specials which were a reuben sandwich, salmon nicoise salad, and a sticky bun. In total the meal cost around $35. The sandwich was served on freshly made bread and was crunchy and warm. The salad had hard boiled eggs, potatoes, green beans, in a warm vinaigrette. Overall, the food was really good and tasted like they sourced all their ingredients from super local ingredients. The sticky bun was like crack - super chewy, fluffy cinnamon roll style bun topped with melted buttery brown sugar glaze that was finger licking good. I can see why a lot of tourists like this joint, it is super cute (in a cabin style place) but it is super far from where the boat drops you off. We seriously underestimated our 45-50 minute walk we imagined would take us 15 minutes down the main road. Be sure to save time by either renting a bike, taking their "bakery shuttle" or an atv style car! read more

Good selection of Tasty pastries. Cute ambiance. To be so remote and have such a bounty is remarkable. Definitely worth stopping if you are in Stehekin. read more

I hiked about four miles round trip to eat lunch here during my stay in Stehekin and it was worth every mosquito-plagued step. The cinnamon rolls are delicious and enormous, and make for comfortable hats when wrapped to-go. The 'mountain bar' was a pleasant and gooey amalgamation of nuts and chocolate that's perfect for sharing. Their Cuban is the best I've had anywhere, with zesty pickles, tender meat, perfect buttered bread and excellent mustard. The potato salad was nothing special but the pasta salad was quite nice. Their espresso ice cream was a welcome treat after time in the sun, and quite a generous portion! Staff were friendly and the shop itself felt cozy with all the natural wood and warm lighting. If I ever get the chance to visit Stehekin again, I'll definitely be back, and more than once! read more

We ordered various things on the way back from the Rainbow Falls tour (we stayed in town overnight so we had some time to enjoy the meal at the restaurant; they have plenty of indoor and outdoor space). Really enjoyed the soup of the day (black bean soup) and the pastries (cinnamon bun and strawberry rhubarb pie). The sandwich was ok, not bad, not amazing. Not a fan of the pizza though it wasn't terrible, just not the type I personally like. So definitely try the pastries! read more

This bakery is just a gem! They have yummy baked pies, cookies and other pastries. They serve breakfast and lunch. They have breakfast sandwiches that you can get on their fresh baked biscuits or other breads and different types of quiche. They have sandwiches ready made and made to order and day old baked items for a discounted price. They also have ice cream! perfect for summer days! There is plenty of seating inside and some seating outside as well. There raspberry nectarine pie was amazing and tart. I only wish I had the opportunity to try more items on their menu. The ladies here are all nice and helpful. It would be a dream to have one of these bakeries by my home in Cali. read more

Stehekin Pastry Company - Cinnamon roll and Sticky Bun were amazing! If you are in Stehekin it's a must! The staff are also very friendly as well. - Bakeries Near Me - Stehekin, Washington

This place feels like a delicious slice of paradise in a sleepy town of only 80+ residents where there is zero cell service! Note that this place is a LONG walk (1.5-2miles) from where the Lady Express boats drop you off, so definitely pay the $10 to get on the shuttle that takes you to the bakery, or you'll be walking 25-30min like we did (one way! So technically more like 1hr round trip but the shuttle driver kindly allowed us to hitch a ride back) and literally SCRAMBLING around to order your food to get back to the boat on time. Literally every single item we ordered was SCRUMPTIOUS - from the BBQ chicken hot pocket to the fancy chicken bake and strawberry rhubarb pie, there was not a single item that we did not throughly enjoy. We ate it all SO FAST that there was no time for photos. It's a pity that it takes hours to travel to Stehekin by boat, otherwise we'd be here all the time! Highly, highly recommend planning an overnight stay here so you can leisurely enjoy all the baked goodies that this Stehekin gem has to offer - this was definitely the highlight of our Chelan trip. read more

AMAZING Gem in the forest in Stehekin! This cute cottage bakery is worth the time to enjoy! Super clean and organized is how they run their business. Everything my husband and I ate was superb! Potato Salad Screaming Pig Sandwich Pizza Cinnamon Roll Chocolate Cookie Oatmeal Cookie All where AMAZING. The only thing we could think of is the pizza could have been warmer but other than that it was perfect! The employees were also wonderful! Cannot wait to come back read more

We biked or hiked from North Cascade Lodge every day during our stay for a variety of wonderful foods. We had the quiche, ham and cheese croissant, pizza, and pastries during our stay all of which I recommend. We were a little concerned that our lodge restaurant closed during our stay, but the bakery fed us well. They handled the extra business with good customer service and great food. Be sure to check out the day old shelf for great bargains. The snickerdoodle and mountain bar were deliciously fresh. read more

Very high quality pastries and quiche options. Nice staff. Great surroundings and door seating area.

After walking a 17-mile journey, let me beg you to hike an extra: 4 miles. (The blisters on your feet and aching muscles will be a devil on your left shoulder, but I am the angel on your left.) [You can thank me later---with cinnamon rolls.] There's a reason why PCT thru-hikers hike 2000+ miles from Mexico to make it here! :) The Chelan Lakeshore Trail is an epic hike which can range from easy to death-march-ish depending on when you try it. Either way, after making it to the sleepy "civilization" of Stehekin, the pilgrimage should continue for: Cinnamon Rolls! This extra hike is actually not bad. And as a veteran of doing it twice, I have the tricks for you. Leave your pack! (the only extra weight you want to lumber around are pastries!). I found the people at the little souvenir shop to be very accommodating and they held my backpack for me (I returned the favor by buying swag when I got back). Or, if you are so inclined, you can also not walk the distance at all, but bike it! Rent a bike at the rental place (and they'll hold your backpack for you). Some may say that is cheating since you are not walking the pavement, but you're still moving under your own muscles! (and if you are a fast rider, you can tack on the extra 3miles roundtrip to Rainbow falls. I did the entire thing [7-miles]: Rainbow Falls, bakery and back in under an hour with minutes to spare...but I was jammin'!). .........AND WHAT IS THIS ALL FOR??!?!??! Why for the cinnamon rolls, Silly! (although they have tons of other yummy looking delicacies & cool gear). These cinnamon rolls are huge! Huge and slap-yo-face GOOD!! You have to have atleast one. I usually end up walking into the bakery, dashing, dirty, and disheveled, and I don't care about the stares. All I care about are the goodies. Me and my odor queue in line and patiently waddle up to the counter and order atleast (8) rolls to go. You can't be one of "those" people who only think about themselves! You have to order some for your whole Lakeshore-hiking-gang! (and of course, have some extras to swoon over for the next few days!). Yes, you make look like a lackey to sweets as you walk, run, ride back to the Stehekin dock, but I wear that honor with pride. This jewel is only open a few months of the year. Go. And be changed forever. read more

Cinnamon buns the size of a baby's head for $2.75 that will give you enough calories to feed off of for upcoming days on the trail = A+ in my book! Free coffee for customers. Clean new bathrooms that smell like pine wood. Credit cards accepted. Fresh-cut wildflowers on each table and light and airy laid-back atmosphere. About 2 miles from the boat landing, but a pleasant and easy walk. read more

Yelp should create a new category - SIX stars - this place would qualify. Now keep in mind I am horizontally challenged so that means you can trust my opinion when it comes to food. (Never trust a skinny guy on food - never!) This is not hyperbole - this is simply the best bakery I have ever visited ANYWHERE and I've traveled to five continents. I repeat best bakery ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. There aren't enough adjectives to do this place justice. Very quaint building in a beautiful location. Lovely, friendly, attentive, staff. A menu that is out of this world. Daily specials (today's garlic and basil shrimp and crab salad was the best salad I've ever had anywhere!) topped off by a sticky bun, a snickerdoodle cookie and a sweet roll. All A++++ (Yes I ate all that - The best thing about being fat is you don't have to worry about getting fat!) If you can't be happy with the food here - you can't be happy anywhere. I would drive the three hours to Chelan, take the four hour-ferry ride, just to eat at this place! If you get the chance - stop by - you will not be disappointed - you may however gain weight. (But you only live once.) read more

Legends of the Bakery reach all the way to the south end of Lake Chelan--before we'd even considered renting bikes in town we were accosted by our friends--"You should get a bike so you can go to the bakery." And for good reason. The Bakery aka Stehekin Pastry Shop is a comfortable bakery and cafe, both inside and out, with a large bike rack and a stop off the Stehekin shuttle. Known for their pastries and cakes they also have a deli, pizza, and chicken pockets, all of which we tried on our repeat trips throughout the weekend. There are nice big tables and a comfortable lawn outside, and if you're lucky the neighbors salt lick will attract some nearby deer. Inside also houses large tables and a comfortable atmosphere. Perfect for a afternoon treat or a bike-riding break, but get there early as they tend to sell out, particularly during the summer season. read more

Okay, what's not to love! Such a welcoming place full of delicious and nourishing food. My small hiking group rendezvoused with the red bus on a gorgeous August day. It was busy, but they knew exactly how to welcome and serve each of us with kindness and care. I had one of the best Morning Glory Muffins and a slice of delectable veggie quiche. We sat in the sun at a picnic table on the green lawn and gawked at the PCT thru hikers. Definitely recommend! read more

What a beautiful restaurant in the most beautiful city! Stumbling upon this pastry company was by chance since I didn't have too much time before I had to catch my boat but the service here was quite quick and made it all work! This bakery is SO well kept! So clean, sanitized, even better condition than most mainland restaurants. I was highly impressed by how organized and immaculate it was! I got a bunch of their sweet options and their savory options which I didn't photograph because they were gone before I could. Personally for me, the sweet dessert were a tad bit too sweet but they all had a wonderful texture and bite feel. The savory options for me were the winners, hands down! They had sandwiches and pizza and it was just so delicious especially with the cold around the water, they just warmed me up and we're delicious! I would definitely love to come back here, sit properly and dine in. I cannot wait for that again! read more

Stehekin Pastry Company - a collage of photos - Bakeries Near Me - Stehekin, Washington

When Starfleet sent us on our mission to the Cascades, they assured our crew that the only extra-planetary visitors to Earth have been Starfleet's own secret observers. From our visit to the Stehekin Pastry Company, however, we know that there MUST be some other alien visitors to Earth. There is simply no way humans could have established a bakery this good at such a remove from what they term "civilization". (I know, good one, right?) The only possible explanation for this pastry company existing in this location is if it were dropped from space, fully assembled, and with excellent long-term provisions, too. (My money is on Betazoids.) The evidence: An excellent ersatz pizza with a crunchy crust infused with something like cornmeal (unlike a human pizza, but exactly like what an alien would imagine pizza to be.) Moist, chewy cookies (in the interests of science, we tried chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter and ginger molasses) -- far too good to be the product of remotely located humans. A thumbprint cookie with a buttery, fall-apart crust, and a delicious red interior goo (possibly made from the actual thumbs of an unusually aromatic species of alien). And of course, the pies, which we enjoyed while at the Stehekin Valley Ranch. While the discovery of extra-planetary visitors to Earth should give Starfleet reason to question the thoroughness of its terrestrial intelligence, we saw no evidence that the Stehekin Pastry Company poses any threat to either human or Starfleet personnel. Correction: it does pose one threat -- to our waistlines. read more

Best bakery in the area! Was hands down best cinnamon roll ever had. Blueberry scone was excellent also.

Rumor has it, you can smell the cinnamon rolls from miles away.. The Stehekin Pastry Company is a institution. One of the main reasons people come to Stehekin. The place serves pastries, of course, lunches, brownies, cookies, ice cream, coffee, drinks, and of course, the Cinnamon Rolls. The cinnamon rolls are the size of a child's head. They are pretty heavy, and taste is, well.. Amazing. Very sweet, and the cinnamon is over powering. When you travel up here, by boat, ferry, plane, or walking through those hills, you HAVE to walk those few extra miles. HAVE TO. read more

Our trip aboard the lady of the lake led us here! So good! Back packers hikers bikers flocked to this place!

This place is not for the carb conscious or those watching their waistline, but boy is it worth the extra calories! We were at the bakery at least once, and sometimes twice, a day. We took turns ordering pretty much most of their items and not sure there is anything that wasn't amazing. Quiches were moist and flaky. Pastry and muffins were full of flavor. Cinnamon rolls and caramel rolls were amazing! Cookies, brownies, pizza, pies? Hello, I could live here. Thank goodness you are able to be active to burn off a few calories but consider yourself warned that if you enter all hope of low calorie eating is gone. Enjoy and thank me later!! read more

This one place is worth the 2.5 hr boat ride to this beautiful town. If that is all you did, then your trip would have been worth it. Oh my goodness, it is pastry heaven! But then, their breakfast and lunch specials are equally delicious! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The shop is extremely clean and cute! Sit inside or outside with the peaceful view - you really can't go wrong. The coffee is so good and please how can I forget about the ice cream? Yes, we had ice cream for breakfast on our last day! Walking or biking to this beautiful Pastry Shop was such a highlight of our short trip to lovely Stehekin! Thank you for the memories!! read more

Perhaps my favorite bakery, EVER. The fact that it's at the end of the world makes it that much better, like stumbling onto an oasis of sticky buns in the middle of the forest. I felt just like goldilocks without the bears. If you've hiked your ass off to get here instead of partaking in that painfully long boat ride, all the better. Buy something for the road, you've earned it. read more

Get the cinnamon roll- delicious. Great vibes and service. Made two trips out via bike and the ride itself was delightful and short
