    Pastries
    Andrew H.

    These pastries are often mentioned in social media and the line was quite long for a weekday afternoon. Given the hype, I was actually a big disappointed. Yes, everything was decent and the chocolate croissant was especially tasty, but I don't think it is worth going out of your way for? The pastries did sound really unique and maybe we chose some not as good choices though.

    The best crossiants I've had in my life have to be from the temple pastries. My friend was constantly raving about the place and now I get why. The croissants were literally like a work of art and too beautiful to eat. The line was manageable when we went but got busy after and they also have ample seating available. Tried the blueberry corn, raspberry bucketwheat and tomato basil croissant and each was better than the other. Highly recommend this place!

    The display case alone is worth the trip. Macarons, cake slices, mousse cakes, tarts...everything looks unique. I went for the hazelnut praline flan and it was genuinely excellent. Rich, smooth, with that praline flavor coming through the whole way. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly. The space itself is lovely with high ceilings, big windows, trailing plants everywhere. A bit crowded even on a Monday morning though. Excited to work through more of the menu. The yuzu and black sesame options are calling my name.

    Chocolate croissant

    This place is incredible. Grabbed a pain au chocolat and cold brew. Don't skip this place.

    Went on a Sunday around 1:30 pm parking was pretty challenging, but after some effort we managed to find a spot right in front of the cafe. There was a long line, and we had to wait about 15-20 minutes for our turn. I have to agree with other reviews about the service the interaction wasn't great. The staff member didn't seem very interested, and when I asked if my chocolate croissant could be toasted, she bluntly said they don't do that. I ordered a hot latte, which was just okay. I really wish the croissant had been warm it was quite dry and had a slightly burnt taste. Overall, it didn't feel worth the price. I've seen some reviews calling it overrated, and I'd have to agree. It was an average experience at best. I don't think I'll be returning I've definitely enjoyed the croissants and service at Sea Wolf much more.

    Okay spot I came later in the morning for breakfast. I got stuck with work but luckily I missed the rush so I got served quickly. I ordered the cardamom brioche pastry and a latte. The bread was dry, I wish I asked them to warm it up. It was okay. Nothing spectacular, I've had better cardamom breads before. My coffee was average as well. The syrup was not sweet, very weak in flavor. They pulled a really good shot though, quality was top notch. Just make sure you ask them to warm up the pastries!

    So it's been a minute since I've been to temple and wouldn't you know it, it's like their baker Christina Wood was a James Beard semi finalist ‍ huh who knew. Well based on the line that was outside the door, quite a few people! This place is a cute little corner shop that has room for seating both inside, outside and upstairs. You can also pre order a bunch of items, just make sure you do so 3 days in advance. Everything we had here was insane, I think out favorite was the mushroom quiche, the cinnamon cream cheese Cruffin and the Miso Caramel Shortbed that was the fanciest Stroopwafel EVER! lol try it you'll understand EVERYTHING WAS 5/5 Tiramisu Chocolate buckwheat shortbread Miso Caramel & Kinako Shortbread Mushroom Quiche Rye Pain Au Chocolate Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cruffin Grapefruit and hazelnut croissant Chocolate chip cookie

    We went to Temple Pastries last month and decided to go all out with the order. I am so glad we did because the technique here is on another level. Every single item felt deliberate, intricate, and yummy. Here is the breakdown of what we got: * The Drink: We started with the Dirty Orange Mocha. It was delicious, the citrus note was bright but balanced perfectly with the chocolate and espresso. * The Savories: The Curry Donut was such a unique and flavorful bite. If you want a classic pastry done right, the Shallot and Gruyere Croissant is a must; the layers were incredibly flaky and the cheese flavor was rich. * The Sweets: This is where they really shine. The Passion Fruit Custard Cream Bun was a highlight, with a tartness that was super refreshing. The Horchata Donut and the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cruffin were pure comfort food but elevated. We also loved the Pistachio Roll and the Sesame Macaroon, which had amazing textures and distinct flavors. The attention to detail in the lamination and fillings is obvious. It is rare to order this many items and have every single one be a hit, but Temple pulled it off. Great service too. Highly recommend!

    Salted caramel cronut, Olive focaccia, gruyere and shallot cruffen and seeded sourdough
    Dena F.

    Love Temple pastries. This was my second time here and I'll definitely be back. I picked up a loaf of seeded sourdough, salted caramel cronut, a couple olive focaccia and a gruyere and shallot cruffin/croissant. All all were absolutely delicious. So fresh, so flaky so flavorful. I would definitely recommend them all. So challenging to decide which one I like best, but I guess the one which edged the others to the top of the competition was the salted caramel cronut - which had a crunchy caramel topping (like the topping of a creme brulee) over a flaky buttery croissant roll. The topping was the perfect balance of sweet with a hint of salt.

    The macarons and desserts!
    Makaiya R.

    The pastries they have available are incredibly good! I can personally vouch for: savory: shallot & gruyère and the rye ham and cheddar sweet: macarons (any flavor really you can't go wrong), chocolate and cocoa nib cookie, and the cinnamon cream cheese cruffin. The space this bakery is located in is cute with great natural light and many healthy looking plants. There is seating, however this place tends to get busy! So come prepared to stand in a bit of a line (it usually moves quickly). I would note that I haven't found the coffee to be particularly good and would recommend going elsewhere to grab a better coffee! I am excited to try more of their desserts.

    3.5 rounded to 4. Nice interior layout! Feel like would be a nice place to get some work done. Got their rye pain au chocolat and the hazelnut praline flan. Thought the flan pastry was unique and worth a try!

    Kathryn O.

    One of the best bakeries in Seattle. The pastries really are outstanding the selection of baked goods and cakes are impressive. All well done and super tasty. Their drinks are just as good and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Love all the plants and light in the space. Parking in the neighborhood is available.

    Strawberry macaron -a work of art!
    JoeAnna M.

    Temple Pastries consistently provides delectable pasties and a beautiful, clean space to enjoy the treats they have to offer. The kouign amann is perfectly flakey with caramelized bottom. The strawberry macaron was soooo delightful. Perfect texture and flavor. Not too sweet, strawberry flavor came through perfectly. The inside was fluffy and airy and perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. It was a very memorable macaron. I have been to Paris a few times and they really go up at bat with the best of the boulangeries there. The fig and oat bar is tremendous as well. The hot chocolate could me more chocolatey imho but I loveee chocolate so there may be some bias there. Also, the sandwiches are good but typically leave me wishing they had a little something more, like having the English muffin toasted (maybe even with some butter) or some aioli on the sandwich. When I have been, it's often just egg and cheese on untoasted bread. Still good but would love to see that wow factor that I see in so many other of their offerings. Great place to stop for a delectable treat!

I especially appreciated that he grabbed the pain au chocolat from the back at my request. I did not want mine touching the almond croissants displayed so closely together. I wanted a pain au chocolat, not an almond pain au chocolat. Sorry! AMBIANCE - 4/5 A very busy bakery/café located at Pike Place Market, near Starbucks. I liked the wall décor and the overall cozy vibe. Finding an empty seat may be a challenge? KOUIGN-AMANN/PAIN AU CHOCOLAT/MERINGUE - 2/5 Kouign-amann - 0/5 It pained me to give a kouign-amann such a low score, especially because it is my all-time favorite pastry. But this one was so subpar that I could not even finish it. It was, frankly, a complete waste of butter, flour, sugar and labor. I once lodged a complaint with a GM and Director of F&B at a certain Ritz-Carlton because their kouign-amanns were so bad that I asked them to stop whoever was making them. Since then, there has been a huge improvement, and that is what genuine feedback should accomplish. Pastry integrity is of utmost importance, and pastry crime is hardly forgivable. Pain au Chocolat - 2/5 Doughy and deeply disappointing. I simply cannot reconcile this with the fact that Le Panier has supposedly been a beloved fixture of Seattle's food scene since 1983. MERINGUE -- 5/5 Can anyone possibly mess up a meringue?? It is extremely disappointing to visit what is supposed to be a legendary, quintessential French bakery in Seattle, only to find that the two pastries I was most looking forward to, the kouign-amann and pain au chocolat, were both such letdowns. A café/bakery cannot survive on service and ambiance alone. The pastries have to deliver too. Time to rehone the baking skills, Le Panier.

Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.
