    I stopped by Sweet Bakery and tried the egg tart and the coconut cream filled bread--both classics, and they did not disappoint. Everything was very good, not overly sweet, and hit the right spot. The only downside is the location... it's on a busy street in Chinatown, so it can get a bit chaotic with foot traffic and seems to attract some unwanted loiterers at times. Service was good overall; the staff was helpful and friendly, even with the language barrier. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a sweet treat!

    Sweet Bakery is a newer Chinese bakery in the CID, replacing what used to be an 85C. They have a good selection of baked goods, including various breads and pastries, steamed buns, cakes, even some light sandwiches. Pricing is between $3 and $4 for most buns, which isn't bad for Seattle. Reviews both here and on Google indicate a terrible owner, although I can't verify that. The cashier, at least, was extremely welcoming and polite. He spoke both English and Mandarin fluently. When I visited, there was a small selection of BOGO pastries near the register. Interestingly enough, it was buy one from the regular display cases, get one of those for free. I'm not sure if they were day old or just misshapen pastries. Milky Roll ($3.25) - This is a coconut cream bun. Soft, slightly sweet and chewy milk bread is cut in the center and filled with a very light and soft cream, then dusted with shredded coconut. The cream seems to be some type of stabilized whipped cream, a bit on the oily side which makes it adhere to the lips while eating. Otherwise there's not really anything else to comment about. It's a good light treat. (4/5) Ham & Cheese Bun ($3.95) - Same soft base but this time paired with a kind of tough and dry piece of ham, some creamy mayo, and lots of cheese that's a little gummy. The pastry overall is extremely oily, leaving a film of grease anywhere it touches. (3/5) Ham & Cream Cheese Bun ($3.95) - This includes some fatty, kind of gelatinously chewy bacon with cheese. Again, extremely oily and kind of unpleasant to touch. There's no mayo in this one, nor any cream cheese or ham, so I have no idea why they call it a "ham & cream cheese bun." Perhaps they put it on the wrong shelf? (3/5) Green Tea Red Bean Glutinous Rice Ball ($4.75) - This comes with three pieces. These are very fresh, with a super soft and airy, yet bouncy exterior, similar to a softer mochi. The pounded glutinous rice covers a large ball of sweetened red bean paste. The paste is very smooth with no hint of grittiness or red bean skin whatsoever. The taste of the brownish green exterior definitely has some green tea powder incorporated giving it a somewhat earthy and grassy taste, although not to the point of tasting like matcha. The outside is dusted with coconut shreds. It's sweet but not too sweet. (4/5) Sweet Bakery is a pretty average classic Chinese bakery. They don't do anything that separates them from competitors, but there's not really anything bad about their offerings either. They'll easily do in a pinch. Besides, it's always nice to see a new independent business pop up in a storefront that's been vacant for years. Bathrooms - At least one unisex room, possibly two, that require a code to enter.

    I've got to give Sweet Bakery some love! Asian bakery on a somewhat rough and tumble corner in the ID that has seen many businesses come and go. Like alot of Asian style bakeries, you grab a cafeteria tray and tongs, select your goodies and pay at the counter. If i am coming from the chinatown/ID light link rail station I will usually go in and grab a few bags of the cookies to take to work. These are always a big hit! Not too sweet so you can just keep eating them. Favorites include sesame, cherry and chocolate. They come in "made with love" labeled bags which is a nice touch. Inside is clean and organized. Please support this local business!!

    Newest Chinese bakery to come into Chinatown-International District! I haven't heard any social media posts about it just yet, perhaps I will have to make a video on them, but I noticed they took over the old 85 bakery that was here after walking by. I came in yesterday, and staff told me they opened this past Friday, seems to still be in a soft opening stage. There's a decent amount of items here, I grabbed my favourite hot dog buns and they were super delicious and soft to the bite! I do think there could be even more options for pastries, but I have to try their drink menu too. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    This rating is actually a 3.5. I went here with some friends after one of them said they wanted to try it out. It's a cute looking shop. I wish they had a few more options as there were a lot of empty spots but they seemed to be out for the day. With what they had left we all chose our own items. I decided to get a butter bun and some walnut cookies. They're not too bad. The staff were ready at the register at all times. If you're in the area, I'd say it's worth it but I don't think it's going to be a go-to for me personally.

    New bakery to try in Seattle! They specialize in Chinese bakery. Unfortunately I wasn't blown away like I wanted to be, but I did enjoy their vanilla cream puffs a lot. The cream was sweet and the pastry was good. It was around $4 for three of them. I found the other pastries, such as their red bean paste bread and pork floss bread okay. I've had good red bean paste bread in the past, and this restaurant's was not nearly as good at all. On top of that, it was almost like the bread was smashed down. It wasn't that sweet and the bread wasn't as great as it should be. Inside is pretty clean and new. There's a lot of pastries available. They have less towards the end of the night since they don't make pastries anymore. Service was okay. Communication was a bit limited due to language. They don't have napkins laying around which sucked. I'm sure some people will love this bakery, while others not so much. I'd give this place a 3.5/5

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

    I got the twice baked chocolate croissant for 7.25! Might seem pricey but the pastry was genuinely…read moreso big that I think the price was actually a good deal. The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

Unfortunately, there wasn't as much pastry selection as we had hoped by the time we arrived. We both love blueberry baked goods, but sadly, they were already out of their blueberry corn scone. They still had a few of the BLUEBERRY CROISSANT (6.10) left, though! The blueberries were juicy, but the croissant itself was a bit dry. I'm guessing it would have been much better if we had come closer to opening. The croissant was also beautifully presented, with an intricately braided exterior adorned with a generous amount of blueberries. They also have an extensive selection of bread, which you can pre-order a few days in advance, as well as a variety of cafe drinks. Overall, a pretty solid bakery with a spacious interior and lots of seating.

Their cinnamon rolls looked amazing with the perfect decadent amount of frosting but so did the sprinkle cookies. The staff was kind and welcoming and patient wth me with my delay in decision making. I have so many things that I need to go back and try, most likely with a group, so I can try lots of things. They do lots of specialty items, depending on the day which is a fun way to spice up their menu. I ended up going with the burrata focaccia sandwich which came with burrata, roasted bing cherries, pistachio butter, balsamic, arugula, and sea salt focaccia. SOOOO yummy. Great sandwich, and I am so glad that they did lunch items early in the AM. The cherries were such a unique addition to the sandwich but worked well, and they were also representative of the local area (Rainier Cherries). I wish that there was flaky salt on the bread. I didn't get much salt flavor wise, even though is says sea salt focaccia. The focaccia bread was soft which is my preference for focaccia. Sometimes burrata texture can be weird, but this one was smooth, creamy, and perfect texture.
