what an amazing find by the friend who brought us! I'm a huge sucker for coffee, croissants, and crispy sandwiches, all that. This place is heaven! the drinks are delicious, the food is freshly made and there's such a huge selection for whatever palate tickles your fancy that day. The tuna sandwich I got along with the mango pastry made for such a tasty meal. The Matcha latte is also not too sweet, which is the main thing that I get scared of, but everyone was extremely happy with their food and the croissant sandwiches from what I tasted were also gas. We chatted a bit longer and pushed up against their closing time, and I did really appreciate that they didn't start packing up while we were still in the store. i will 200% be back! yum! read more

We LOVED the baked goods. I'm not usually a pastry person, but the strawberry lemon brioche changed my mind. It had a perfect amount of filling and was delicious! My boyfriend loved the nutella cruffin too. I'd pass on the breakfast sandwich and the tiramisu latte next time. Neither was great. The sandwich tasted very frozen & could use more sauce. The latte needed more flavor too. read more

The pastries were fresh and flavorful, and the croissant was easily the highlight of my visit. The coffee paired well with everything, and the seating area by the windows created a comfortable place to relax for a while. Overall, the food quality was very good and I enjoyed my order. The only downside was that the service felt a little less welcoming than I expected. Nothing was necessarily wrong, but the interaction came across as somewhat rushed and not especially warm. It didn't ruin the experience, though it did leave a mixed impression. I'd still consider stopping by again, mainly because the baked goods were excellent, but I hope the overall customer experience feels a bit more inviting next time. read more

Best ham and cheese croissant I've ever had. Period. I liked the idea of the prosciutto, brie and fig jam pastry more than the execution but it was still pretty good. It's just that the ham and cheese croissant was SO good, I wanted to eat my boyfriend's breakfast more than my own. Coffee was good too. read more

Cute little bakery with delicious pastries, dessert's, muffins, a variety of sandwiches, quiche, soup, and coffee. Street Parking only. It wasn't very busy the mid-morning we visited. I ordered a Pain au Chocolat, Nutella Cruffin, and a Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish. We had grabbed breakfast at Mas Cafe before heading here, so I didn't get too many items. Had I come on an empty stomach it would have been a different story lol. The pastries were quite delicious and they didn't skimp on the fillings either. Plenty of Nutella and Blackberry/Cream Cheese filling. I like the size of the pastries as well. Fairly priced for the size and generous filling for the items I experienced. I enjoyed the texture of the cruffin. I've heard all about it, but it was my first time sampling a cruffin. The employees were kind upon check out as well. I'd definitely be back on my next visit to SEA so I can try other items on their menu and I would definitely recommend you stop in and judge for yourself. read more

Great neighborhood bakery. A lot of options and most were good. The pear croissant and lemon tart were delightful and not too sweet. The matcha strawberry tart was a bit of a miss. Very sweet, the match flavor didn't come thru and had a hint of freezer burn. The strawberry element in the cake was bomb tho. The quiche was . Nothing that is going to knock your socks off but hits the spot when you a morning pick me up. read more

Purchased an assortment of goodies for a couple of friends for their birthday breakfast. They said everything was delicious and that the chocolate chip cookies were soft and delicious. read more

Pros: Baked goods and drinks are delicious although pricey - this is Seattle. I like that they have creative drinks. I have not seen before such as an Earl Grey tea drink with cold foam. Cons: Atmosphere and service was questionable, chicken salad croissant sandwiches were made earlier in the day so apparently you cannot order one fresh, which would be easy with something like a chicken salad which just needs to be applied to the croissant. read more

There are two benchmark pastries I look at whenever I go to a new patisserie - the almond croissant and the kouign amann. At Zary Bakery, they both didn't look that great, with the almond croissant being strangely flat, as if the pastry chef purposefully smashed it down, and the kouign amann sprawling out into a wide disk instead of being more muffin shaped. Just because they look a bit strange doesn't mean they are bad, but I decided instead to purchase some other items that seemed more interesting. Palmier ($5.40) - This palmier is exceptionally fragrant with the smell of butter wafting into the nose with every bite. It has a fantastically flaky crunch factor on the edges, transitioning to a softer and more chewy section on the interior. This is thicker than most palmiers I've seen, resulting in the interior especially being softer, more buttery, and less sweet. Overall, this pastry isn't as sweet as most palmiers I've had. The sugar glaze isn't applied too thickly, so it doesn't help glue the layers together, resulting in an exceptionally flaky dessert that doesn't gum up the teeth while chewing. (4/5) Kentucky Butter Cake ($6.35) - I haven't had this cake before, and doing more research, apparently it comes from Missouri rather than Kentucky? At any rate, this mini bundt cake looked delicious in the pictures and quickly became something we had to pick up on our visit. This is essentially a slightly richer version of a prototypical yellow cake, with vanilla flavoring and some warming spices added for oomph. It's not quite to the density or nearly as buttery as a pound cake, but kind of rests in that area between. The crumb is quite moist and the taste isn't too sweet. I read that there's usually a sugar and butter glaze poured on top, but I don't think they incorporate that aspect here at Zary. (4/5) I also ordered a TGTG bag with day old pastries, which included: French Butter Croissant ($5.25) - The croissant is buttery, decently flaky, and baked until a lighter golden brown, although due to being day old, there's not really any crust to speak of. It has a great honeycomb structure on the interior, making it well risen, light and airy. The croissant would make a great base for a sandwich and is perfectly enjoyable to eat by itself. Caramel S'Mores Croissant ($6.50) - Even though this is labeled as a croissant, it's more of a cruffin based on the shape of the pastry. Chocolate dipped caramel pretzel graces the top, adding a salty and sweet crunch. Inside the pastry is a kind of a cream cheese-like sweet and slightly tangy filling. It's a more substantial and richer version of marshmallow fluff with a more complex flavor than just pure sweetness. M&M and Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.50) - The cookie is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, with plenty of chocolate and M&Ms. Since it was day old, it's hardened up a bit, but still easy to eat. I did find a kind of acrid bitter taste in the dough, which reminds me of baking soda. I'm not 100% sure what that flavor is from, but it made the cookie the least enjoyable dessert, at least for me. Of course, it's not fair to rate a bakery based on the day old items, so I will refrain from factoring these into my rating. Overall Zary is a pretty solid bakery. They serve some interesting pastries and the wide variety makes repeat visits easy to foresee. read more

I've had time and perspective to genuinely review this bakery. This bakery is not only beautiful inside, they produce beautiful and delicious pastries and baked goods. The cinnamon roll was one of the best I've tasted. It's just the right size and perfectly frosted. The flavor of the cinnamon is just right and doesn't taste of mass produced flavorings that many cinnamon rolls taste like. The roll is moist and not one bite was dry. That's how I judge a good pastry; no dry bites! I've also tried a few Kentucky varieties of Kentucky cake. One was on the dry side but the other was moist with a few blueberries. I tasted a hint of cardamom which is different but in a good way. I will definitely keep this bakery on our list of repeat visits. If you are fortunate to be near this bakery, you need to try something delicious fast!! If you're visiting, make this a definite stop!! read more

Still in love with Zary. Had one of their seasonal beverages, the strawberry cold foam latte, and heard the Pixies Where is My Mind playing in the background. I lost my mind at how much I liked it. Had the strawberry lemon brioche. Still a winner! read more

All of the food was lovely. Unfortunately my order got missed and I had to ask about it to get it going, so I ended up missing my bus. They did give me a free bakery item as an apology for the communication mishap, which I appreciated. I know these things can happen and they were very apologetic so I would come back, especially for the potato croissant! It's a small but cute spot for bakery and light lunch items, with good natural light and right in front of a bus stop. read more

I wanted to place a quick pickup order so within the YELP app, I clicked on START ORDER and saw that you can place an order inside the YELP platform. I also saw that the ordering process was powered by Grubhub. Since I wanted to be able to use my own Grubhub account, I used the Grubhub app instead and ordered the following: 1 Almond Croissant $7.10 1 Almond Pear Croissant $7.10 1 Kentucky Butter Cake $7.10 1 Kentucky Butter Cake with Blueberries $7.20 1 Kouign-amann $6.85 2 Kouign-amann $13.70 I went into the store at the estimated pickup time per Grubhub and they didn't know about order. They asked what delivery app I used and I had to tell them I used Grubhub. And then they must have activated something because at that moment, I got a text notification that my Grubhub order has been received and a new pickup time was given. Not smooth but not a biggie. Took the pastries home and found that for my almond pear croissant, they automatically substituted it with Blackberry Cream Cheese Danish and the its packaging had a handwritten note "sorry, out of almond pear." Since I was waiting inside the store, I am puzzled why they weren't able to notify me and perhaps ask me what I would like instead. Other than these issues, the pastries were very tasty. The cafe seemed very cozy and clean. read more

Easily the best French bakery in the city. I happened upon this place when picking up a bagel order next door, and I am glad I did. Everything looks amazing. Everything is fresh. I took two large boxes away, and every piece has been outstanding. The palmiers are the best we've ever had. Period. Croissants are divine. So are the other classic French items, including savory items. But they also have superb American-style scones, and I LOVE an excellent scone. These are they. And the rare Kentucky Butter Cake. A French/Swiss couple who lived nearby scoffed at me for planning to go next door for bagels. "This is the REAL thing. Those are...bagels." Hey, both places are great, and I am delighted they are next to each other. Worth driving for. read more

Zary Bakery is a cute bakery in the Roosevelt/Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle. With pastries, drinks, and desserts, both savory and sweet, you're likely to find something to snack on here. I ordered the mango Cruffin (croissant muffin), a cinnamon roll, and a danish. They were flaky and the custard/cream filling in the Cruffin had a sweet, yet not overpowering, flavor. It has indoor and outdoor seating but no AC, yet the ovens are blasting, so it gets quite hot inside the bakery. They keep the windows open but it did not help much. Service was extremely slow and the barista/staff looked like she hated being there. I was left waiting when she took off without warning (not sure if on break or off shift) even though she had served all the customers before me and another staff member came out minutes later with earbuds in and hardly acknowledged me. read more

I enjoyed the fruity pastries! I loved that the mango pastries were not too sweet. Chai latte was a little too bitter for my taste though. The cafe isn't too big, which I liked as well. The interior was relaxing with plants :) I had a chill, productive Saturday morning thanks to the bakery! Parking was easy to find too, thanks to the parking lot nearby.

Best chocolate croissant I've had in Seattle. I've struggled to find really solid croissants and pastries in seattle and I am so happy I found this gem. It is 100 percent worth the visit to try one of their pastries. Their ham and cheese croissant is A+. Let's stop eating at Starbucks for breakfast and support a local bakery!! It's the same price at this point. The way their croissants are so perfectly laminated- so flaky and crispy and soft and lightly buttery on the inside. You can literally see each beautiful layer, they're so good!!! I am truly so impressed by their croissants and the size of them. I highly recommend getting your pastry heated up to elevate the experience. I met the owner today and the creator of the pastries and she was so kind! I am so impressed by their craft. Totally check out Zary, it's so worth it. I included peak of their yummy pastries :) read more

This place stands out with its unique selection of pasteries and drinks. One of the more popular picks is the raspberry top tart which is basically a better, homemade poptart. Their special drinks are from the "spring menu" that seems to go on year-round. The flora forager is FANTASTIC and very unique to this cafe - tastes like a rose coffee with hidden flavors (yes, its a coffee). I would classify this as a neighborhood bakery. As such, you see mostly people stopping by after a walk, a casual get-together, after picking up kids from school/daycare. Very rarely do you see people working here or coming in alone unless it's a pickup. Street parking is always available in the premise. Pasteries are discounted after 2pm. read more

As a former Ravenna resident, I have seen this place morph from Morningstar Bakery, Leah's Bakery & Cafe, Sod House Bakery, and now the newish Zary Bakery. My first visit was on 10/2/23 where I got a box containing a pain au chocolat, strawberry cream croissant, scone, and a raspberry pseudo pop-tart. My second visit was on 10/28/23 where I bought a chocolate hazelnut tart and another raspberry pseudo pop-tart. My overall sentiment is positive. I love the beautifully arranged variety of baked goods in the pastry case. Great price for the generous sized items. Looks good, but tastes even better. Clearly there's baking with love going on. First visit, Zary Bakery was still brand new and with ample room to consider one's purchase. Second visit, clearly the bakeshop/cafe has been discovered with the line of folks. Wishing them much success! Worthy detour when in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. read more

On a family trip from Seattle to Victoria, BC, we made a spontaneous stop at Zary Bakery, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We tried the pistachio cake, almond croissant, and several other delicious cakes--every single item was absolutely amazing. The flavors were rich, the textures perfect, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. The bakery has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff were so kind and helpful. It truly felt like a hidden gem. We're already talking about coming back on our next trip! read more

This is such a cute little family-run bakery. They had gorgeous croissants that were flaky on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They don't skimp on filling either. There is a lot of variety without losing quality with their croissants and other pastries in addition to an espresso bar. It's only a matter of time before more people discover how good the baked goods are here. read more

They were a bit short staffed it seemed so everything took a bit longer (ordering, restocking of things, etc). I wouldn't put it against them, they were super busy. The savory croissant was the best! Very flavorful, nice and flaky. The 2 sweet croissants were too dense in our opinion. Doesn't have the fluff you expect of a croissant. Street parking was easy, coffee was tasty. read more

Saw bakery and had to go in. The items on display looked marvelous and a good variety of them to satisfy most everyone. The service was very good and the staff were helpful. A charming coffee shop interior to sit and relax. This is where it now goes a bit wonky. Looks can be deceiving. Beautiful pastry and tarts looked delicious. We purchased 6 different pastries and took them home. Not far mind you. Got them home and what a disappointment. They were dry and one was dry and had a hint of being bitter like burnt. They were not as we expected but rather like next day pastries that sat out all day and we just bought them. So sorry to say, not worth the drive for us and the reason for 2 stars was the staff the food not so much. read more

Great pastry place. The pastries are top notch and feel very high quality. The price is a bit high but maybe that's because they're high quality. The Nutella cruffin is very good. read more

The pastries here were very buttery and flaky. A bit too oily for me but I see the appeal. Coffee was nice and strong without being bitter. Only thing was we felt very unwelcome here, the staff said no words to us, simply stared at us, gesturing to the screen for the price, and waving in our direction to indicate the drink was ready. I felt nervous the whole time I fixed up my coffee. Based on the service, I wouldn't return - the space felt geared towards a demographic we don't belong to unfortunately. We ate outside. read more

Zary Bakery has the absolute BEST Quiche Lorraine in Seattle. I have tried Quiche Lorraine from many restaurants and Macrina Bakery and hands down, Zary makes the best quiche lorraine. The crust is hand made, buttery, flaky, moist and the perfect proportion to the filling. The filling is well balanced between egg, milk, cheese and bacon with none of the ingredients overpowering the other. It is not greasy or runny (like some other quiches). The bacon is perfectly cooked. It is savory. AND thank you to the kitchen for listening to feedback and keeping the quiche slices really big and making it worth the price. My entire family loves this quiche. It is so yummy for breakfast. read more

First I want to note how great the service was here. We went on a Saturday morning and it was definitely busy, but we ordered two lattes and they were out in minutes. The women behind the counter were definitely working hard! Both lattes (fall spice and smores) were some of the best I've had in Seattle. They were flavored without being overwhelming. We shared the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and the zucchini feta croissant. Both were amazing. The SEC croissant had a hefty sausage - it was definitely filling. ZARY is definitely small. There's probably under 10 tables so it gets pretty cramped. It also gets really warm from the ovens - they did keep the windows open when we were there (when it was 50 out), which helped but it was still pretty toasty. read more

Such a cute coffee and pastry shop located in the heart of Ravenna. We stopped in for a lite lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered iced coffees to which paired nicely with a Nutella pastry that was flakey, buttery, and delicious. They also have a sandwich menu that, while on the smaller side, still makes it difficult to choose from because everything sounds so good! I ordered the Italian which featured a generous serving of prosciutto on soft yet perfectly chewy bread. We sat outside on a warm yet pleasant summer day and really enjoyed the overall vibe of Zary. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not quite sure if I really like or dislike this place. Stopped by since they have a 4.7 star on Google, I'll say this-they have varieties of pastries to choose from along with menus on top (burritos, waffles, etc). I ordered their burritos & that was probably not the best choice-tortillas was hard as a rock & the waffles was dry. Great customer service & the ambiance is quite nice. Pretty cool place though read more

Went to this bakery for the first time today along with 5 others in the area and this was our top one!

I have been a long-time resident of Ravenna and was sad to hear Sod House Bakery's owner sold the place. BUT, when I stopped by Zary Bakery, I was not in the least bit disappointed. In fact, they exceeded my expectation beyond my imagination. I have traveled all around Europe, lived in France and tried several bakeries here. Aside from Café Besalu in Ballard, which sadly closed, Zary's Bakery is absolutely comparable to the quality of the pastries in France. In particular, I tried their raisin swirl (pain au raisin), and when the bread hit my mouth, I felt like I was transported back to my time in France. The layers, the laminated dough, the crust were whisper soft, tender, yet crispy and crunchy. There was a tinge of sweetness and was not overly sweet, like some pastries. There is no cream filling, which I prefer. Every time I took a bite, I felt like my seratonin level surged. I felt like for a moment I was in heaven. When I talked to the staff, who were personable and friendly, they mentioned they kept one of the bakers (no wonder)! When I go back, I will absolutely give their croissants (true test of how legit they are?) their try! I might revisit this review and update it after I try their croissants. The general vibe feels like more of a café than a coffee shop. There are also more lunch options and more fancy pastry options as well, like a Napolean (mille feuille cream pastry), a mango croissant, etc. Something tells me they're trying to mimic a version of a French café. I will absolutely go back, bring my laptop and work there, while relishing the delicious pastries and the vibe. (I have yet to try their coffee.) read more

We came in at 7:15 with another couple, the morning person got their order wrong, they ordered tiramisu and he gave them something completely different. He wouldn't put it in the box as you ordered but he made sure to ring it In. So when he forgot our peach lemon croissant this morning we definitely still got charged. He also made sure to put our pastries on top of and upside down In the box. Genuinely mad about this. It feels like incompetence and you stole my money, I went straight to the airport and noticed as I'm waiting for my flight. read more
