Sea Wolf Bakers

Stopped by to get a snack. Nice selection of baked goods including bread. Had a cranberry scone and a cup of earl grey tea. Both were excellent. The tea was delightfully fresh u like so many places where a tea can be made from stale stock. There are a decent number of tables near a large window that gives a nice soft light. We also got a loaf of Russian Rye and a sourdough loaf. Both were superb. Worth the trip from Shoreline just for that.

Edit: So I went back for their focaccia and it is legit. I don’t even like olives and still ate the whole thing. Vinaigrette pizza was good too, if a little salty. It was the “cafeteria style” with flat and crispy bottom. Previously… Their cinnamon roll was $7.85 and they charged $1.15 for the frosting. This could have been excusable if it had been tasty but instead it was greasy and dry. The long line outside must’ve been for their bread because this cinnamon roll was not it.

Best croissant in Seattle. I'm not loca. Whenever I fly into a place I go croissant hunting (you simply need to have a fave croissant in every city). For Seattle it used to be The London Plane but they seem to have closed since the pandemic and after trying a few I've arrived at Sea Wolf and you know immediately from the look of the folds and the shape that it's going to be top quality. But then, you bite into it and the crisp layers are truly perfect, the butter can be tasted and it's nicely balanced, beautiful soft fluffy honeycomb interior, they could do no better. Get a coffee, have a seat outside in the sun. There's probably other things worth getting but unfortunately for me I had already been a few pastries into my day already. Also, they deliberately don't ask for tips, instead making sure they price to pay workers fair and accordingly, which is always morally commendable. I'll be back next for more next time I'm in town.

The best bread in Seattle with excellent pastries. A must visit each time I visit Seattle. Some favorites are the savory lye pretzel bun, savory croissant with seasonal toppings and the plain or chocolate croissant. Tried the croissant brittle on this visit and I'd give that a pass as parts of it were not cooked to a crispy texture and was very sticky, which almost pulled off my crown and stuck to the other parts of my teeth.

Some of our favorite restaurants use Sea Wolf bread, and we’ve always enjoyed the high quality, so we stopped by the bakery to try the croissants and pain au chocolate. Another reviewer compared these Sea Wolf offerings to grocery store croissants, and I couldn’t disagree more! My croissant left a huge, beautiful mess of flakes on the plate—always such a good sign—and had gorgeous layers. Such a satisfying bite! Thank goodness, too, because unless you’re lucky enough to live within walking or biking distance of this highly popular, highly populated neighborhood, parking is going to be a chore.

Cinnamon roll — amazing. It was HUGE, large enough to split between two people. Great for a breakfast date. We got it without the frosting and it wasn’t too sweet you could really taste the flavors without an overload of cinnamon sugar. It is a must get if you come to this place. We also got the scone of the day, I devoured that. And a lye roll. Boyfriend had some hesitations on the lye roll since he hadn’t ever had one, but was pleasantly surprised, it was nice and soft and pretzel-y on the inside. Drinks, we’ll this is a bakery not a coffee shop. Looks cute and instagramable in these super cute cups, tastes just ok. If you’re a coffee nut 🙅‍♀️ this is not the place for you.
