It's a nice, clean, modern bakery, but the space is very small and there's no seating so it's really more of a grab-and-go spot. I was craving a croissant, so I ordered a plain one. I had planned to eat it there, but they didn't have a microwave or toaster to warm it up, which was a bit disappointing since it was served cold. Unfortunately, the croissant tasted pretty average similar to something you'd find at a grocery store. It didn't feel special or stand out in any way. Overall, it was just okay, and I don't think I'd come back. read more

Cozy cafe (window front counter. standing only, if you decide to eat in). Clean interior with a view of the kitchen inner workings from the street as you walk by. Charming barista and his colleague thoughtfully cut our sandwich in half and served in separate bags when we mentioned we'd be sharing it. Beautifully crafted croissant with great texture. Good quality ham and cheese, and just the right amount on the sandwich. That being said, this treat sneaks up on you. Don't be fooled - it is RICH in buttery goodness. As is the chocolate chip cookie that I couldn't resist. The latte is also a nice solid coffee flavor. Simple menu, but everything is done with obvious care, and the pricing is more than fair. read more

We visited Wild Rye downtown to try their bread and also picked up a croissant while there. It's a pretty nice location with full windows on the exterior of the building, perfect to watch the bakers perform their magic. The order area is pretty tiny, however, with no seating and essentially only a display case and register. It's definitely not a place to hang out at. Takeout only! Montparnasse Almond Croissant ($5.50) - This has a good sweet sugar glaze on top, making the croissant glisten. The outside is baked hard until crisp. The lamination quality seems to be suspect, which allows the creation of two huge air pockets. It could be from steam unevenly rising from the almond frangipane if it was applied while the croissant was still hot. I'm not sure but considering that the croissant is cut in half to apply the filling, it seems like they wait for it too cool down a little first. The fragipane itself is smooth and strongly almond flavored. It's sweet and dense almost to the point of becoming marzipan. (3/5) Stella's Sourdough Rye ($8) - I'm not sure when this boule was baked, perhaps way earlier in the morning? Unfortunately by the time we cut into the bread an hour or two after purchase, the crust had softened in the Seattle winter humidity, rendering it tough and leathery rather than having a crusty crisp. The flavor is interesting, it does have the earthy rye notes, but it isn't super robust, kind of young in taste if that makes sense. Like the starter wasn't set out to ferment long enough to develop all the complex flavors. There's still a distinct tender sour tang from the sourdough starter. The interior is very moist, not dried out at all. (3/5) I found the bread and pastries served at Wild Rye to be just okay. I wonder if it's because they don't have very high traffic, so they let their baked goods sit out for too long. As it stands, it's not a bakery I'd go out of the way to visit again. read more

This is part of the convention center so expect convention center prices. The quality isn't bad but I don't think the food is anything that special. It's meant to be an order and go establishment, but they do have a little bit of high top space if you really want to eat in the shop. Menu is limited presumably due to space constraints. There are either a million people here due to a convention center event, or no one here. read more

artisan croissants perfectly made with crisp bottoms, airy lofty insides, and a nice crisp outer layer. you can tell they know how to make em' here. had a ham and swiss sando for breakfast and it was so delicious, added some dijon mustard and mayo. also picked up a cookie for the road and wow, it is one of those chocolate chip cookies that you think about for days -- crispy on the outside with a good sugar crust and a chewy interior. amazing. we also split a quiche for breakfast and it was pretty good a bit too creamy for me tho lol. sandwich over the quiche. service was so friendly. nice people. read more

The cinnamon roll is great. Note, it's not a traditional soft and fluffy cinnamon roll. It is a laminated pastry with great cinnamon roll taste. Also had a coffee which was average read more

Got delivery via DoorDash and was really impressed with the size/value, freshness, and overall quality! The Italian focaccia was so big that I could barely handle half of it (my bf gladly accepted the other half). Loved the mozzarella and salami they use! The cinnamon roll was also huge and had a lovely orange essence to it. The ham and Swiss croissant made for a great lunch with just a dab of Dijon mustard added. The pasta salad was delightfully al denté, had a nice brininess from the olives, and was the perfect size for an afternoon snack. I also tried a lavender latte - could not find any info on their website about which coffee roaster they assume (I assume it's local?), but it was really good. Prices are incredibly reasonable for the portion sizes and everything was so tasty - will definitely order again! read more

During a recent conference I stopped by for breakfast. It's a very small location more set up for take and go food. Staff where very friendly and patient well I figured out what I wanted. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant. I expected a croissant with the ham and cheese baked in. Instead it was just a ham and cheese sandwich. The croissant was dry and overall just ok. read more

I dropped in here based on the online pictures of their cinnamon roll. It lived up to the hype, even though I ate it the next morning! The croissant-style layered dough was buttery, crisp, and soft all at once. The amount of icing was just right, too. Up there with the best cinnamon rolls I have had. read more

We're in Seattle for the Memorial Day weekend and staying at a hotel across the street from the Convention Center. We planned to go to Monorail Espresso for a morning coffee, but they're weren't open. It was 7:35am and the posted operating hours said they opened at 7am. A convention center security officer told us about Wild Rye Bakery, right around the corner so we went over there and thank goodness we did. The coffee is great and the baked goods (baked on-site) are delicious. My wife had the Sweet Bread Stick (cinnamon, almonds, and raisins) and I had the almond croissant. Both were very tasty. I was especially thankful that the croissant was not covered in powdered sugar and that it was stuffed full of almond paste. We highly recommend you skip Monorail Espresso and head straight to Wild Rye Bakery! read more

Went here after a workout class downtown, it's a tiny shop with no seats at all. The service was fine. We ordered a sweet and a savory treat, we asked for them to be heated up and they said they didn't do that here. Both of the pastries were fine, it's what you should expect from a pastry shop literally in the same building as the convention center. Would never go back and wouldn't ever recommend people to come back, if you're in the area and specifically above the convention center and want something quick to go it's fine. Ham and cheese - 4/10 bland but not bad tasting Cinnamon roll - 5/10 pretty big for 5 dollars but not like actually tasty, just bland read more

I've passed this bakery many times and have been planning to stop by for quite some time. I finally visited on a Thursday close to 1 pm. There were still items on the shelf but the employee informed me that since it was closer to the end of the day, they weren't as stocked as they are at the beginning of the day. I got their plain Parisian croissant. It was absolutely delightful! I will definitely be back here on a weekly basis! read more

I was on the way to SLU from First Hill and I walked by Wild Rye so decided to check it out. It looks like Wild Rye takes up a big chunk of space but the vending area is small and the rest seems to be the bakery kitchen. The lady working the counter was super nice. I had no idea the bakery closes at 2:30, and when I entered it was like three minutes before closing. The lady was very friendly and let me know that I just made it on time before closing. Despite the fact that I went in last minute unknowingly, she was willing to take time to talk to me and help me out. I bought one croissant which tasted great. I also liked how they placed a small card with description of each item next to the baked goods. I never knew this place existed until then but now I am a fan. read more

The baguette was ok but went stale quickly and wasn't as soft or fluffy - it seemed less fresh perhaps? Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try the croissants as they were out. Small space to eat in and the service was fine. Probably wouldn't come back for the baguette though. read more

Don't miss this hidden treasure at the new convention center. Fantastic croissants and you can get a huge piece of focaccia that has fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and salami on it for only six bucks! On Olive at the corner of Boren. read more

The coffee is delicious! I had a cappuccino three days in a row and it was perfect every time. I also had an espresso as a mid day pick up it was so good.m, and I'm not usually a straight espresso drinker. The butter croissants are huge and light as a feather. Flakey and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly too. Loved everything about the place. read more

This bakery is housed inside the new convention center but has it's own entrance on Olive! I believe this bakery used to be in a different location nearby. I picked up a little Friday treat for myself (the Italian focaccia) and the staff was so friendly when I was being so indecisive. Can't speak to how busy they get during the day because I was in at 7am but they have some affordable bites considering how huge their baked goods are! The focaccia was very soft and the toppings made it overall great. I've heard great things about their cinnamon roll, so that'll be my next treat. read more

Turkey sandwich on a croissant and pumpkin bread were delicious. The croissant was perfect! The pumpkin bread was great. I returned the next morning for the cinnamon roll. I was surprised that it had the same construction as the croissant, but I definitely am not complaining. Absolutely delicious and well paired with my americano. Excellent customer service on both days. read more

The best cinnamon roll I have ever had. Croissant in texture, so buttery and delicious!

I bought a sourdough boule and a croissant. The croissants are quite huge and are pretty standard; flaky and well layered on the inside. Was disappointed by the sourdough boule, the crumb was incredibly dense and I was expecting more of an open crumb / airy inside...basically felt like eating a slice of whole wheat bread from the supermarket. read more
