Columbia City Bakery

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.

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.

It is a miss. Since the pandemic they have unusual hours which makes it hard to visit. Unfortunately because of their hours I had to start going elsewhere that has more reliable and easy service. Hopefully they will come back with steady hours and open before 10 am. Why bother…

Columbia City Bakery is by far the best bakery in the area. I ordered cinnamon twist, lemon bar, and lavender lemon cake. They all were phenomenal. The lemon wasn't too over powering. I can't wait to come here again. Must go if you haven't already. Columbia City Bakery has limiting seating but there is a park close by so you can head over there. Also they sell out pretty fast so get there early.
