Omg the quiche was outrageously good. Like every aspect of it. Best quiche I've ever had. And I've had a lotta quiche. Also Sam running the front is super dope and nice to chat with. Can't wait to come back. Peace from Tacoma! read more

Vashon Bakery is a super small, cozy bakery with a really welcoming atmosphere. Despite its size, they have a surprisingly wide selection of sweets and baked goods, so there's usually something that catches your eye. Their chocolate croissants are my personal favorite--they're definitely worth trying. Their peanut butter cookies are also notable and another great choice if you're looking for something sweet. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help, which makes stopping in a pleasant experience. The bakery is also in a nice location, making it an easy place to stop by while you're out around town. One thing I do wish they had was a larger selection of dairy-free options. One of my children has a milk protein allergy, so having more allergy-friendly choices would make it easier for our family to enjoy the bakery together. Overall, Vashon Bakery is a cute little spot with great sweets, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend stopping in if you're on Vashon and have a sweet tooth! read more

Went to Vashon Island to see the Bird King Troll and decided to stop in town for a coffee. Glad we chose this place because the treat I got to go with my coffee was phenomenal! It was similar to a morning bun but like a cross between that and a pull apart bread pudding. It was called a Kouigh-Amann. I got a latte with a little added from their condiments bar that also had honey; it was good. My son got a snickerdoodle cookie, and an iced coffee, and my husband got a chocolate chip cookie. My son said the cookie was just ok. Thus I took off one star, but my treat I would give 5 stars. The restaurant itself was small but had a little area to sit and a bench out front but not much seating. This is definitely somewhere I would come back if I were in the area. read more

Vashon Island Baking Company is the kind of place that makes you immediately start calculating how much room is left in your stomach. I stopped in for the orange spiced mochi cake, and luck was on my side. The last remaining piece was only a half serving, so they generously gave it to me for free and still included a full piece with my order. Not only was the gesture incredibly kind, but the cake itself was fantastic--moist, chewy, flavorful, and pleasantly not too sweet. The dangerous part is convincing yourself that just one piece is enough. The crackle cookie was another winner. Crisp, chewy, and gone much faster than I'd like to admit. Then there were the coffee cake muffins. Despite sporting a cinnamon-sugar crumble top that looked like it was about to launch a full-scale sugar attack, they were surprisingly balanced and not overly sweet. Just the right amount of indulgence with my coffee. Speaking of coffee, they pull a really excellent espresso. Add in genuinely friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, and you've got a bakery that's easy to love. I came for a quick treat and left with extra cake, a caffeine buzz, and absolutely zero regrets. Highly recommended--just don't blame me if you leave carrying more pastries than you originally planned. read more

I've been here a few times now, and this recent time, because it had been a little while, I was actually unsure if it was going to be as good as I remembered. This is the ONLY bakery I rave about - their stuff is incredible and so fresh. I don't like chocolate croissants at all, but trying a bite of someone else's showed me theirs is even better than the stuff back in Seattle. Their light roast is good, $4.25 for a large - seems pricey but that's what you're paying on the island (went somewhere else for a mug for $4.25, though there were free refills there, but compared to a large is similar enough for 2 mugs). Their chocolate caramel toffee bar is scary good! It smells amazing when you go in, and the girls working are so sweet. I will say that we tried the berry tea, and it seemed like it was steeped too long (tasted very intense, more like a medicinal syrup) but if you combined it with sparkling water, i'm sure it tastes much better. I love this bakery so much, and look forward to our next Vashon venture next year! read more

Friendly staff and delicious pastries. I ordered several items to try and share with friends. Our favorite, hands down, was the Bee Sting Bar. Buttery short bread topped with almonds and a honey glaze. Texture and flavors were SO GOOD! Also enjoyed the chocolate croissant, almond croissant, and maple bar. They do not deep fry their donuts, they use their croissant dough for the donuts. read more

Stopped in this tiny shop right before heading home, not sure if today was an off day or what but my Apple fritter (which wasn't a donut...) was extremely wet and cold, kinda tasted undercooked as well. Service wasn't great. Cashier seemed in a rush and stressed, not sure if other bakeries do this but they used their raw hands after touching the register touch screen to put my apple fritter into my takeaway bag and kinda forcibly put my partners one down. Don't know if we will be coming back to this bakery again. read more

The baked goods look quite tempting BUT the maple bars were thick, "crunchy" and the maple tasted a lil off! We bought a croissant to go, so the jury is still out! While we found the cashier very sweet, the person tending to our order lacked both personality and customer service! read more

We came in to pick up some pastries and everything looks really good. The young man behind the counter was nice and friendly. It took us awhile to figure out what we wanted and he wasn't bothered at all. We enjoyed the Cinnamon twist, banana bread, pumpkin bread, and cookies. read more

We popped in early on a Wednesday morning looking for a breakfast treat. I opted for the ham and cheese croissant, my partner was more interested in the bran muffins. Both were delicious and satiating! Service was friendly and efficient. It's hard to beat a fresh, still warm bakery breakfast treat in a warm, inviting, delicious smelling place. We will be back. read more

I'm sad for one reason, that I don't have any pictures to show you of everything that we devoured at Vashon Island Baking. This place is in a great location, extremely friendly and welcoming staff and then add the amazing flavors of the mushroom croissant, spinach croissant, the oatmeal cookie, lemon bar, cinnamon stick, bee sting bar and a Marion-berry or was it huckleberry bar.. either way it was delicious. Oh and by the way all of this was for two people lol.This place is the real deal! read more

We got several different items and all were delicious! The quiches were the highlight, we tried the Lorraine and the vegetable. We would go back just for the quiches! Almond croissant, cookies, and the chocolate caramel bar were also worth mentioning. Everyone there was very helpful in recommending items. We sat outside on the bench and enjoyed our snacks. read more

Pastries were delicious, atmosphere was casual and inviting. I got a bear claw it wasn't too sweet and had just the right amount of flavor!

Stopped in twice during a long weekend. The first time was mid afternoon and there was still a good selection of things available. The cream cheese croissant was delicious. The next morning I went back for coffee, great, and a chocolate croissant, omg a must. I also grabbed a bee sting bar for the flight home. Tasty and it traveled well! Very small location, no seating, but benches across the street if needed! read more

The pastries were amazing!! I got a few items and each one better than the last one! This is a bakery worth the ferry ride for! I won't miss eating at this bakery when I visit. And the staff are wonderful with a clean lovely space. read more

What a cute spot! We really enjoyed visiting this little bakery during an overnight trip to the island. The woman working behind the counter had a great, chill vibe, letting us take our time considering options. We opted for a cinnamon twist and a salted chocolate caramel square. Both were quite enjoyable. We will definitely stop in again on our next visit to Vashon and would definitely recommend to others looking for an authentic, small town bakery experience. read more

What a cute bakery shop, that had a great variety of sweets and savory treats. This was our first stop off the ferry and me and my friend grabbed a lemon bar and strawberry shortbread to share. Both were scrumptious, the latter tasted like a strawberry shortcake bar! Will definitely stop by again to try one of their savory croissants (the steak cheese steak one in particular), they looked huge and were only $6! Service was quick, prompt and friendly. read more

This place is adorable and smells amazing. Cute hole in the wall local gem vibes. I ordered the coffee cake muffin, the croissant, the chocolate crinkle cookie and the chocolate torte. The coffee cake came recommended by the cashier and he was right, it's lovely. The crinkle cookie was nice and soft. The croissant was fine . Now for the reason for the four star: the chocolate torte was lacking in chocolate for me personally. I like anything chocolate. If your cake says chocolate death, chocolate bomb or something, I'm all about it. The crumb on this cookie was nice and moist. The torte was perfectly baked. It just wasn't the chocolate explosion I wanted. If you like chocolate but not overpowering this is right up your alley. Otherwise a lovely spot. Please support small businesses. read more

VERY friendly workers. We went two days in a row and everything we had was good! And the prices were fair. They came out warm but they'll also warm it up more if you ask which is very nice. read more

Still had loads of options left by 3 pm!! Savory and sweet pastry and pies, didn't get coffee but looked good too! Casual spot, not lots of seating space, but across from a park and downtown so plenty of spots to go. Right off the highway on the way to the ferry, so we just grabbed a snack to get in line for the 3:20. Bobs burger (vegetarian) is apparently an ode to the shop that was here before this one and I think it's a sweet gesture!! So flavorful, comes warm, great texture. All the sweets were superb. Def will be my new stop spot heading to the ferry!!! read more

Great service. Delicious baked goods! We've been there when they were slammed and despite being busy, everyone is friendly! This time, we were one of just a few folks and staff had time to chat and describe some of the amazing artwork and decorations. We ordered a large scone and gigantic donut for a morning treat, and then took a piece of pizza for lunch (which was enough for three of us). Really love this place and we look forward to another visit in the future! read more

Quick service and pastries/baked goods are solid. Got the berzerk bar (oats, jam, etc.), salted caramel chocolate shortbread, strawberry gluten free bar, carrot cake loaf, sausage egg and cheese croissant and a slice of coconut cake. The berzerk bar is good, lots of oats and just enough jam. The chocolate caramel shortbread was decadent but the chocolate layer was too thick, so it's not something you can just "eat". Strawberry bar is gluten free so while it tasted good. I couldn't get past the "sand" feel in my mouth. The sausage croissant was hefty, salty and needed something to balance it, croissant itself was good. Haven't had a chance to try the loaf or cake slice yet. Partner got a plain croissant and said it was good, she doesn't like croissants so that's saying something...she wasn't impressed with the latte though. read more

Delicious crisp croissants here. I had both the almond croissant and the ham and cheese croissant. A perfect little breakfast treat. The savory croissants are on the back wall in case you don't see it at first. Looks like they have some coffee options. I didn't notice any indoor seating. Very friendly service. read more

Their scones are the best! So are their bran muffins! They must be very popular: one minute, there are two customers inside: the next, ten. read more

Incredible bakery and such a friendly and helpful owner right at the counter. Had several items he suggested and all were delicious!

A colleague asked what I would want to try from here knowing I'm a lover of the croissant. They would pick-up and deliver to the office (very nice offer). I went for the plain croissant and a chocolate one. I didn't enjoy the plain croissant as much as the chocolate one. The plain felt a little oily to the touch and just wasn't that tasty. I think it was a bit dry inside to...I missed the moist layering of dough. The chocolate tasted much better. It was't as crumbly and was a bit moister - which hit the spot for me. My other colleagues enjoyed their treats. So overall, I would recommend this bakery. read more

Oh our way off the island back home we stopped by this bakery. Pastries are very delicious , however if you are ordering a number of things, be sure to double check your order before you leave. We ordered about 7 items and as we were paying the cashier joked ooops almost gave you an extra pastry and took one out of our bag. Later when we got home (only visiting the island) we noticed that she shorted us because she thought a similar shaped pastry was a duplicate (I had ordered a maple bar and a cinnamon twist- they are the same shape). Big bummer as the maple bars are $5 (we were charged) and it was the only pastry my husband had ordered. We also ordered drinks, americano and a dirty London fog. Americano was fine, but they forgot the vanilla in my London Fog. Shop is very aesthetically pleasing , it is small so you feel a bit rushed as people are waiting in line. I highly recommend the mushroom Swiss croissant- delicious. read more

3.5 stars! This cute little bakery is on the main drag on Vashon Island. They have a HUGE selection of pastries to choose from - it's a little overwhelming. They had scones, maple bars, bear claws, muffins, croissants, brownies, and all kinds of cookies. They also had a lot of vegan or gluten free options, if you care about that. I eventually ordered a slice of almond bundt cake, which happened to be vegan, and also a peach iced tea. The cashier who helped me with my order was very friendly, and she was chatting with customers while I was browsing the pastry display, so the place definitely had a nice vibe. The bakery also offers coffee beverages and tea, but it was just too hot outside for a hot drink. The small interior has some cool art on the walls and a cute scrabble magnet wall for you to make a message. There's no space inside to eat, but there are benches outside, or do what I did and go across the street to the little park where the Saturday farmers market was happening. The bundt cake was just ok - there wasn't much flavor to it, but I guess that's because it was vegan. I would go back to try one of their non-vegan pastries. read more

I am still dreaming about their mushroom croissant, and maple pecan bacon croissant. Their mushroom croissants are flaky, PACKED with mushrooms, and delicious. Their maple pecan bacon croissant is my favourite!; My husband and I initially bought 1, split in half, gobbled up the pastry, and went back to buy another maple pecan bacon croissant! I am still dreaming about it. I can say with confidence this is one of the best bakery! I also tried their oatmeal pecan (I think) bar with marionberry filling. It is very rich so it took us 2 days to finish, but the rich flavour of butter blending in with a bit tart and sweet flavour of marionberry was so yummy! The service was friendly, and efficient; there is a little bar attached to the window where you can stand and eat your pastries. I almost wished the bakery was a little bigger with tables and chairs. Their coffee was also good, but it was overshadowed by the pastries I cannot wait to come back here! read more

This was one of three bakery stops on Vashon Island back on 3/8/20 before the initial pandemic shut down. Vashon Island Baking Company on that particular visit nearly a year ago wasn't bad but it was rather underwhelming. Customer service was bland. Pastry case looked somewhat interesting, but I only got a pain au chocolat as a benchmark. Powdered sugar covered, so I sampled it seated on their outdoor bench. It was just okay. Posting this on 2/27/21...still remember that powdered sugar, baker's equivalent to glitter. read more

I have a love relationship with ham and cheese croissants. I'm from California, and they are done with the ham and cheese baked inside. It is hard to find made that way outside of Cali. We were on Vashon Island and saw this place while driving. The coffee and bakery sign caught my eye. You walk inside to a very inviting shop with so much to look at. The employee was very friendly and helpful. Now, let's talk about the croissants. Not only did they have ham and cheese croissants, but they were made stuffed the right way to make them. They had sausage croissants, spinach, and philly cheesesteak. We ordered 1 of each; why not. I was so pleasantly surprised to find out they were warm. The cabinet they are kept in keeps them warm; absolute brilliance. Nothing I have said so far means anything because what I am about to tell you is the reason for the 5 stars. These croissants were the BEST, most amazing, flaky, crispy, warm, yummy croissants I have ever tasted in my LIFE. You think you have had a good croissant in life, yeah, I thought that too until Saturday. Will I hop on the ferry, cross waters, and drive to get these again? Uh yes, what time do you close, lol. I don't even remember what else we bought because I was so fixated on my flaky happiness. read more

Such high hopes for this Gluten Free (GF) family. Place smelled great and all bakery items looked good. As we are constrained to a GF lifestyle, we let our eyes take over and we bought a number of (GF) treats. And there ended the good review. I should have bought a small item to check the flour type. Unfortunately, their GF flour is white rice based. One bite and all the moisture was immediately sucked right out of our mouths. The fillings in the two cookie bars ($5 each) could not hide the dryness -- AND the the scone was one of the worst ever encountered. It was dry as a bone and totally disintegrated at first bite. You'd think bakeries who offer GF items would experiment a bit more with non-white rice based flours available and/or would have discovered one of the best GF flours we have found anywhere in the world, Manini's of Kent, WA. In any case, this bakery is definitely not worth a 2nd try - at least for this GF family. Two stars for presentation and good coffee. read more

Super cute storefront on the Main Street of Vashon is a busy little bakery. Both sweet and savory selections it wasn't hard to pick several goodies from the case. The maple bars with flaky croissant style dough were unique and delicious. Chocolate slater Carmel bar was enjoyed by my husband and we also brought a quiche slice to go which has not yet been enjoyed. I didn't get one but the hotdog baked I. The same croissant dough looked intriguing. Anyway by the local foot traffic, this is a true local go to. read more

First time visiting this friendly island. Stopped at the baking company after getting off the ferry. Very nice staff. Best London Fog I've had in a long time. Blueberry bunt cake was ok, very moist like it was soaked in something, not sure if we'd get it again. Snickerdoodles cookies were a hit! During a time of Covid they were very clean and wore masks and limited customers. Thank you! read more

Update to rave about when my friends were visiting from out of town last week: we hit the Bakery three days in a row for, wait for it: an entire chocolate torte (amazing), ate that, so had to get a strawberry-rhubarb pie the next day (amazing), ate THAT, so needed a peach pie the next (you guessed it, amazing). Also, friends all liked the morning pastries so much that we ended up going back even more days so they could "try them all." (I explained it was impossible to try them all, there are so many good options, but bless them, they tried.) I love this place so much. Thank you for being in business. read more
