Columbia City Bakery

I am new to this neighborhood and I'm proud and glad this is our bakery! I just got a whole wheat sourdough and a pistachio snail pastry that is mind-blowing good I'm glad that the pastry wasn't that big else it would be sinful!

People commented that they were forced to buy two of the same items and I was concerned at first for someone with a small household but I'm glad that this wasn't the case I was there today :)

Staff was so polite and helpful and gave me a recommendation for a loaf with my requirements.

Let's support small local businesses! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Passed by this place on a Saturday. There was a good queue of people outside waiting to place their orders. It took about 10 minutes or so to get the order in and about another 5 or so minutes to get the order. Looked like there was a good selection of items. Ordered a curry potato and cauliflower hand pie. It was very warm on the outside and a little cool on the inside. The dough was very flaky and a little oily. It was very filled which was nice. I wish I had a little bit of salt to bring out more of the curry flavor. Also ordered a couple of blondies. Liked it because it was a nice big cookie shaped like a brownie. Would be good with some vanilla sauce.

By far the best bakery in Seattle, Columbia City Bakery always delivers. Get there early because they sell out fairly quickly, I recommend pretty much anything, everything I've had here has been excellent.

This bakery is unreal. Every pastry, bread, quiche, everything. So delicious, so well portioned. The coffee and espresso are very good but you should really try to get everything on their menu. You won't be sorry for waiting in the long line. Friendly, efficient service and great prices.

Wow!!! It was so good! I eat jam tomatoes sandwiches and soy latte...the stuff was welcoming and kind. Support our local bakery of Colombia city.

Would be able to spend a week here trying every drink, pastry, quiche, and sandwich and truly wish I could! Wonderful atmosphere and friendly baristas.

Everything I've tried from here is bussin bussin! Highly recommend their bread puddings. Friendly and efficient service from staff.

Colombia City Bakery has Herkermer coffee!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰 I was here for the bread and left with a latte too! 🥖☕😍 it's the little things 🥰 (drove 2.5 miles for this lovely tasty baguette). Lines on the weekends as it is a popular spot for neighbors to grab a bite, that said the line moves quickly! I waited about 3 min on a busy Sat at 11:15 am).

You are the best in this part of the globe. Balanced recipes perfectly baked and ability to keep the neighborhood feel with being so well known and busy always is an art of making happy customers.

Today I met one of the great people who work there. You are the ray of sunshine and happy energy. Thank you for being so kind ❤

Literally my favorite bakery of all time. I can't tell you how much I crave the ham and gruyere cheese croissant. They've got a wonderful selection of pastries and breads. They also sell their flours too. Be aware of their hours though. I believe they're only open 3 days a week right now.

Such a trash bakery. Has so many options. I love that you just walk right up to the countertop and order.

One of Seattle's excellent American bakeries. Competes with Macrina for the best bread. My Americano was stellar, from the craft of the drink to the mug.

everything is so good, love the hand pies and the croissants! great service every time

The Findlay is just OMG. So good. Smoky hot brisket deliciousness. Just get extra napkins because that sandwich will mark a shirt. It's worth it.

Quite literally the best cold brew I have had in my entire life. Drip is very good, but the cold brew is amazing.

Not a pastry person myself, but the baked goods always smell amazing.

Welcoming staff, and a generally pleasant and friendly environment.

Very good baked goods and coffee. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

I LOVE THE BAKERY! Been going here since I was a a baby and have grown up loving their treats. My favorites are the pretzels (preferably in knot form), the savory toccata (a recent find and SO GOOD), the croissants (crispy buttery perfection), and the cinnamon twists (basically the croissants but with cinnamon sugar, amazing). Really all their stuff is great, GO BUY STUFF FROM THEM! Please :)

Outstanding local bakery and sandwich shop. Their breads are excellent. We bought the seeded ficelle on this trip, tasty with a crunchy crust. Their breakfast pastries are super - try the pistachio snail for something a little different. Excellent scones too and the best pretzels I've had in a long time!

Columbia City Bakery is a nice place to visit and they have a good variety of baked goods available. The person working when I visited on a Friday afternoon was friendly. He was also happy to answer any questions about any of the pastries as well. The space lends itself nicely to relaxing and chatting with friends and family as well. It also seems like it could be a good place to get some studying in as well. When I visited I think there was some outdoor seating as well. I would definitely return to try more of their pastries.

We live in Montana. Every time we visit Seattle - every time - we must stop at Columbia City Bakery for breakfast or road food. It's become a tradition for the last 6 years or so. Their pastures and bread are sooo good. Today we bought the chorizo hand pies. Yummm! Tender flaky crust and savory filling. And the chai is outstanding - a little extra cumin gives it a unique flavor.
