    In a word: divine. You are hit with a wonderful baked goods, sweet smell coming through the door. I got a Chocolate chip cookie, and it was chewy, chocolatey and amazing. I'd definitely go back and sample more baked goodness. Slightly cramped quarters, but it doesn't matter...

    Dahlia Bakery is definitely one of my favorite new bakeries - on a long weekend trip, I ended up here every morning to try a variety of their incredible baked goods. Everything is AMAZING. Definitely check out the: +FIG BAR +TOM'S FAMOUS TRIPLE COCONUT CREAM PIE +APPLE DUMPLING w/PRUNE BUTTER +PAIN AU CHOCOLATE (pure buttery goodness) Seriously, locals have it so good here.

    So so so amazingly good! I can't believe it took me 2 years to try them out. I lived a block away for a year of that and was truly missing out. Crow and I were having a rare day where the planets aligned where we both ended up in the city at the same time during lunch. We had been wanting Pho' so we decided to try Local Pho' since reviews seemed ok. BIG mistake, but that's another review... So averting disaster, we charged on to Dahlia. We split a Beecher's grilled cheese with herbs-AMAZing, only thing that might have made it better woulda been a bunch of fresh spinach piled in. But I digress, the bread was perfectly crunchy, light fluffy somehow. A masterful feat for a grilled cheese. Then we got to our two tiny desserts-YUM!!! We got a mini coconut cream pie topped with beautiful white chocolate curls; this was heavenly. Not too sweet, perfect texture in all components, and came in a cute little box too ;) Ok, best for last right? The butter pecan chocolate sandwich cookie. Speechless. Oh no wait here's some words, all of which aren't going to be good enough to describe this perfect little cookie: Absolutely the Best chocolate cookie I've EVER had (bold statement), rich deep chocolate, a bit salty, chewy, crisp. Then comes the butter pecan filling; such a cool addition to this little cookie. A whole paragraph for a 1 1/2" cookie? You bet! Thank you Dahlia, we will be back Again and Again and Again... You're little bakery inspires me to push the limits with my pastry career. I only hope one day to come in a close second.

    Tom Douglas? No wonder I had a bad experience. I have been trying to avoid everything that Tom Douglas is associated with, but was fooled by a cheap marketing ploy. Dahlia Bakery is small, cramped, stuffy, overpriced, and in a terrible location. Their baked goods and pastries are delicious and skillfully made, but the prices are unreasonable. Bakery Nouveau in Capitol Hill is just as good and their prices are more logical. Tom Douglas is a local restaurateur who has inflicted his overhyped and overpriced brand all over Seattle. He has also been a huge opponent of raising the minimum wage. Avoid his establishments and support small, neighborhood business owners instead.

    Tom Douglas' Dahlia Bakery, home of the triple coconut cream pie. Sounds delicious to me! My friend and I shared a slice and took it outside to enjoy with coffee. As soon as I posted a picture on IG, I got a comment to try their donuts. What??? I didn't see any donuts! I went back inside the little shop and inquired. Turns out they are made to order. Those pillow soft donut bites are amazing on their own and extraordinary when dipped in jam and mascarpone. Amazing! Definitely get the donuts! A standout on this trip to Seattle!

    All I want right now is that delicious, heavenly coconut cream pie. If I had it as my final dessert, I would die with a big smile on my face. Perfectly whipped cream with some toasted pieces for texture. The custard was the icing on the cake though. The right amount of coconut flavoring. Not too sweet so I could easily finish a whole small pie by myself. In fact, I loved it so much I bought one home in my luggage to let my sister try it. She loved it because it tasted like a cream puff. This pie is very addicting and drool inducing. I highly recommend you devour a piece if you're in Seattle.

    See my Lola restaurant review for a little more background before coming here. yelp.com/biz/lola-seattl… Came here after eating at Lola for breakfast. I had a plan before coming here. After walking in, I felt like Ed talking to Tom Cody in Streets Of Fire when he was about to fight Raven......"Well, my plan went to shit." Okay, enough 80's movie references. Basically, I came in here to buy some pastries to go for the family for our day out and about in Seattle. I know one of the things I wanted to try was the Triple Coconut Cream pie. For whatever reason, I thought I could buy this and eat it later. However, this is one of those things that I needed to be refrigerated or ate immediately. Considering I just had breakfast with donuts for dessert, that would've been nearly impossible. I said NEARLY impossible. I took one bite....... And bought another one. For my wife that is. I'm keeping this one for myself! After eating the whole mini-pie by myself, I did decide to get a few more pastries to go. To be honest, I don't remember what I got because all I kept thinking about was that pie! If we didn't have to leave early to drive to Vancouver, I probably would've went there again. Lastly, if you are a serious coconut lover (which oddly I'm not), check out the Coconut Gold Bars and Fran's Chocolates. It's a take on the Almond Joy candy bar, but 100 times better. And, I don't even like Almond Joy!

    All I can say is wow, the grilled cheese is good and creamy and we had the coconut cream pie was great, but the butter pecan chocolate cookie was the star, perfect blend of crunch, chocolate and butter pecan cream! I can die a happy man now... Just kidding by I'm not going to be cheesy like unique sweets

    I had their Reuben sandwich the other day for lunch. .....they make a pretty mean Reuben! Corned beef was delicious, sauerkraut was tasty and rye bread was fresh and a good thousand island dressing! Got me a little coconut macaroon as well and it was perfect!!! I only have to buy 10 more sandwiches til I get a free one. Grrrrr!!!!

    Dahlia bakery, yet another Tom Douglas restaurant takeover in Seattle. I came into the bakery with the best intentions hoping to find extraordinary baked goods based on the ridiculous number of reviews and was super disappointed. The bakery itself is the size of a closet with 4 people inside guaranteed to make you feel claustrophobic. I ordered the famous coconut cream pie slice expecting heaven in my mouth. Instead I tasted a great crust with filling lacking complete flavor almost bland and the whipped cream sour. The only thing enjoyable about this supposedly amazing pie was the freshly toasted coconut on top. Not even remotely worth the $7 price tag in fact I threw most of it away. Still 4 & 5 star reviews what was I missing?! So I went back a second time to try the fries donuts. For those calling these things beignets PLEASE STOP! Get on a plane, fly to New Orleans, visit cafe du monde and learn what a beignet is. They are large, airy and covered in delicious powdered sugar. These are NOT beignets. In fact Dahlia calls them fried donuts. That being said these small little donuts coated in cinnamon sugar and upon which you can spread their mascarpone on top are to die for. Get them to go, share them with friends and relish in their sweet delectableness. 1 star for coconut cream pie, 5 for the fried donuts. I may be back to try the breakfast sandwich and see which way I sway but for now 3 stars.

    Great customer service and really delicious baked goods! I'm visiting from CA and the nice girl who served me recommended the coconut cream pie which she says put them on the map and I'm glad I listened! Subtle coconut flakes with white chocolate and delicate cream filling was perfect. Even my bf who dislikes anything coconut thought it was good! Also got the traditional eclair and the chocolate truffle cookie. I would definitely go back for more coconut cream pie.

    Nice neighborhood bakery, but the choices were somewhat limited. We stopped by this morning and enjoyed a scone and a pain au chocolat. Nice, welcoming feel and friendly staff and we enjoyed sitting at a table outside enjoying the beautiful Seattle summer weather.

    This was my first time to Seattle and my mother gave me instructions to go to a place called Dahlia Bakery to have their fresh donut pillows. She told me how delicious, light and fluffy they'd be, served with fresh mascarpone and fruit jam. My mother was right. Those lil made to order fried donuts are a must! I had mascarpone and blackberry jam with mine as it was the seasonal fruit. The donut pillows were so fluffy and light and not too sweet even though it had sugar sprinkled on them. This was the first thing I ate when I got to Seattle and it certainly gave me a good feeling about this city. I love it here and I love Dahlia Bakery. So much so that I went back again on my second day! So on day 2, I had decided to try something else on their menu to see if it was just as good as their donut pillows. I ordered a breakfast sandwich. It was the bacon, arugula, fried egg, cheese, and smoked paprika aioli English muffin sandwich. The bacon was so crispy that even the fat tasted good, when usually I hate bacon fat. All the flavors worked perfectly together. The fried egg was not runny at all and cooked to perfection. I can honestly say, this was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever eaten. Where I'm from (Hawaii), there aren't many good breakfast sandwich places like this. Hands down, Dahlia Bakery is a definite go to spot in Downtown Seattle.

    I dropped by after some Serious Pie just a few doors down. After surveying the treats, I decided I really wanted some chocolate crinkle cookies, but the only ones on display were packaged in an 8 box set. I asked the girl behind the counter if they had any they hadn't boxed yet, and sure enough, she brought out a cookie sheet with several dozen chocolate crinkle cookies. I bought the measly amount of TWO cookies for $1.64 and savored the heck out of those things! I really appreciated that the cookies were baked on-site and that they were willing to accommodate my slightly ridiculous order of 2 tiny cookies. The cookies were delicious, chocolatey, rich, soft and sweet but not overly sweet either. Now I wish I had bought the box of 8 cookies to take home with me...

    Breakfast sandwiches are perfection in every way. The cherry almond hazelnut danish was killer. Nice employees to boot. Hell yeah! Love this place.

  • Lemme K.

    First time trying their famous donuts and coconut pie and it did not disappoint! It was amazing!!!!! The pie was light yet full of flavor and the donuts were also light and fluffy. The only thing that i would like is to have more room, it was sooo crowded with just 5 people in there, so it was a little hard to move and actually see what else they got to offer

    The hotel 4 of us were staying in was undergoing kitchen work so we started wandering restaurants and checking menus. Happened across the Dahlia bakery. Fantastic find. The English muffins were homemade with sourdough. Excellent ham, cheese (not fake American slices) and arugula. They were brought out to us at sidewalk tables. Then there was the pain chocolat - look out Paris you now have competition in the US! :-)

    * CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE COOKIE ($2.50) - 4 STARS: Amazingly decadent chocolate chip fudge brownie cookies (gluten free too!). They are a softer dense type of cookie with a rich dark chocolate taste. I hate to compare it to Specialtys but ... I'm gonna because I'm a sucker for Specialtys ... It's delicious. Not a fan of coconut pie so did not order but loved that you can order a bite size portion, mini pie, slice or full pie! * VEGGIE BREAKFAST SANDWICH ($6.50) - 4 STARS: seasonal veggies . fried egg . cheese (add ham) Came back in the morning for their famous breakfast sandwich, served on a fresh baked english muffin. The bread was the best part, super fresh and chewy and reminded me of my favorite breakfast sandwich spot in Napa - Model Bakery. The sandwich was delicious, but it was falling apart and needed more cheese. I'd definitely come back, but Model Bakery in Napa is still my favorite. * DONUTS ($7) - 4 STARS: Made fresh to order and tossed in sugar and cinnamon. Not quite as good as a malasada but really fresh and light. The best part of all of it was the vanilla marscapone and jelly dipping sauces. One order comes with 7 donut holes. Everything else in their pastry cupboard looked delectable can't wait to return!

Wish they had one in the bay area... or I could get their pies here... sigh...

    #15 One word: Amazing. FOOD QUALITY: English muffin breakfast sandwich anyone? If not, I'll be happy to take that off your hands. The first thing that hits is the soft crisp of the toasted muffin then all of a sudden the egg yolk and cheese just melts in your mouth while perfectly crisp bacon finishes for an overly satisfying bite. It's such a simple breakfast sandwich, but it was most delicious breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. Then I decided to go get the freshly made donuts. Crisp on the outside and melts in your mouth once bitten in. The way all donuts should be. It's moderately sweet, and it's as sweet as it is buttery. Definitely come here if you're visiting. It's worth it.

  • Nina Y.

    It was okay. Not the best I've ever had about, it wasn't bad either. I ordered the coconut cream pie bite because that's what they suggested. The coconut cream pie bite was delicious, but not worth the price. I also ordered the fried donuts which are like beignets. I've definitely had much better beignets - thought they did come with jam and mascarpone. The two sauces definitely went well with the sugary fried bits, but I wished they were smaller because it would be easier eat with the sauces.

  • Melinda Y.

    The coconut cream bites were killer. I had it two days in a row. The cream was heavenly with texture in the mini bowl crust. They can pack it into a little cardboard box if you want to save it for later. I had to exhibit some self-control not to buy an entire pie and stuff my face. The egg sandwich was just as delightful as I had remembered (from 5 years earlier). They used the perfect bread that toasted up well and held up to every bite, without losing the content (egg, bacon, cheese) of the sandwich. The donuts were soft and pillowy with dusting of cinnamon sugar, included vanilla marscapone and raspberry jam for dipping/spreading.

    Dahlia Bakery wasn't in full bloom today. This review is strictly for the desserts. I hear Dahlia offers some great breakfast sandwiches and I have yet to try those. The place seems quite popular as there was a constant line. It's a very tiny place so only a few people can be inside. There is only one register so it can take some time but they are always restocking fresh treats. There is a big display on the side of cookies, brownies, fig bars, cupcakes, and other delicacies. The front display holds the treats that need to be refrigerated such as their infamous coconut pie. The three items that I tried today were the coconut pie bite, the mini red velvet cupcake and the German chocolate cupcake. Coconut pie bite - Dahlia is known for their coconut pies whether it's the whole pie, a slice or the bite. The bite is a perfect amount if you're thinking of just popping the whole thing into your mouth since it is, bite size. It has a nice thick piece of crust and a luscious cream with shaved coconut. I found the coconut flakes to be of nice quality and the whipped cream tasted homemade. However, I felt that there was too much whipped cream and not enough coconut cream. What was there of the coconut cream was delicious though. The crust was perfectly flaky and crumbly. Mini red velvet cupcake - Woah. This was definitely a huge no no. I don't even know if I can call this a cupcake even though it looked like one. First, the cream cheese frosting was strange. It almost tasted like it had not been whipped and no sugar was added. It was so thick that I was almost convinced that a block of cream cheese was put into a piping bag and then piped onto the cupcake. It was not the luscious cream cheese that I was looking for. Sadly, I think store bought cream cheese frosting is better than what was on this cupcake. Furthermore, the red velvet cupcake tasted like cornbread. It wasn't really moist and didn't have that vanilla/chocolate flavor to it like I'm used to. It just tasted like cornbread dyed red. I was really disappointed with this one. German chocolate cupcake - Thankfully this cupcake saved the day. It was much better than the red velvet and I'm glad we got it in the full size. The cake was rich and very chocolate-y. I appreciated that the frosting, although not being the most amazing frosting, had walnuts mixed in it. Most of the time German chocolate cake has frosting with just coconut shavings mixed in. I thought the walnuts added a nice crunch. Put together, the cake and frosting were good - just not to the point where I would rave about it. Service - The two ladies were very nice. They boxed our treats well and when one of them accidentally touched a little smidgen of frosting on our German chocolate cupcake, they replaced it with a brand new one. I thought that was very kind of them. In total it was a little under $10. I unfortunately don't think I'll be coming back for their desserts and treats but I am still intrigued by their breakfast sandwiches which look scrumptious through photos.

    Tiny space, short menu of cooked-to-order options, but one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had (avocado, mozzarella, tomato) Great looking bread selection, cookies and pasteries galore. Delicious! Friendly prompt service. Try it!

    Do you ever dream about sweets and your mouth just starts to water? Well it did just now I got a variety of different things including the coconut cream pie slice, eclair, almond poppyseed thumprint cookie and a thin mint. I have to say that their coconut cream pie was one of the BEST I have ever had. Yes, a little bit pricey for $6.75 but the slice can probably feed 1.5 people. Yes..I'm a pie snob and this was by far exceeded my expectations and then some. The crust was flakey and not too sweet. Baked to perfection where it's still a soft in the center and got a little bite to the ouside. The cream tasted like it was made from scratch and piled high on the crust. The whip cream was very light and airy, but the best part of the freshly shaved coconut! Not many bakeries take the time to use real shaved coconut that's lightly toasted. The eclair was gobbled up by my boyfriend who is really picky about his eclairs. The pastry was crisp and had such a nice smooth bavarian cream filling. Topped off with a semi sweet chocolate glaze. $4.75 for probably a 6 inch eclair The almond poppyseed thumprint cookie $1.75- buttery with little bits of almond Thin mint cookie- a very grown up version of your typical girl scout cookie. Real mint tasting and the cookie itself was moist but crisp on the outside. Come back again? For sure! Note- since it was a Tom Douglas restaurant we also got a 10% off discount from our savor seattle tour

    We got the doughnut/beignet which was made to order. Price was pretty pricey for 6 doughnuts (almost $8). It comes with fresh strawberry jam and vanilla bean mascarpone, which was a very nice topping to the doughnuts. The beignets were light and fluffy and coded with sugar. YUM!

  • Cynthia L.

    It's a 5-star review kind of day. Dahlia makes fine baked desserts, but SCHEISSE! I didn't know that Tom was hiding the best breakfast sandwich I've ever placed to my lips. Real quick, you can get [the] extraordinary coconut cream pie here (Tip: If you order two regular slices of a whole pie, it's the same serving amount as the medium round pie you can order. Save that $, yo.) They have specials outside of the normal breakfast sandwiches and I came in on a day where they had one with Manchego (?) heirloom tomato, egg, and bacon on their homemade English muffin. I said no to the bacon and moaned yes, Yes, YES after my first bite. The English muffin is gigantic. At least 1/3 bigger than the usual size. And the soft, chewy and melty texture was incredible. The toasted crust was so tasty, it was like eating bits of charred cheese. Then came the egg. A perfectly runny yolk that included itself in every bite with the melted cheese and heirloom tomato. Good gawd, man. There are women and children here. I've thought about this particular sandwich at least 10x since I had it a few weeks ago. Breakfast sandwiches will never be the same again.

  • Lisa T.

    I ate three things here and my favorite would have to be the their egg muffin sandwich. Their English muffin is made in house I believe. I ended up ordering two one for my hubby and one for myself, however it was so good I think I ate about 1 1/2. They were that good. I ordered the bacon egg sandwich and one sandwich with avocado in it. I think it was a special of the day. Both were great. The English muffin was delish. Only, if I knew sooner I would had breakfast here everyday. I also try their coconut cream pie bite. They were really good. I didn't think they were as great as everyone said it was but good. I also brought peanut butter cookie that was not bad. Must come for the breakfast sandwiches. If you're a fan of the english muffin this is the place for you.

  • Erica M.

    YUM. Finally made it here and it was amazing. We had the breakfast sandwich with smoked provolone, avocado, tomato, and egg. It was perfectly salted and seasoned, ready to eat. The smoked provolone was a nice touch. The coffee was perfect: not too dark, not bitter, just hot and drinkable. We also got a pear thing (was it a lintz?) that was amazing. Lots of pear and not too pastry heavy. Can't wait to go here again!

    The made to order donuts were to die for. I just finished them off and would love to have a second order on its way out. Marscapone and housemade jam finished them off and made for such a unique and delicious treat. Worth mentioning we also have a bag full of baked goodies to take home.

    (5)

  • Andrea W.

    Everything I tried here was amazing. First off, the made to order breakfast sandwiches are delicious. It includes lettuce and tomatoes, which cuts the heaviness of the cheese, egg, and bacon. As well, the English muffin is freshly baked! If you haven't tried a freshly baked muffin, please do. Otherwise you are missing out. The made to order beignets were also wonderful. They are freshly fried then dusted lighly in sugar. They also provide marscapone and jam for you to pair it with. It was so delicious that it was devoured in seconds. When we walked back past the bakery, the lady who served us smiled and waved through the window. This place served great food and will make you feel warm and welcome.

    I considered myself a lucky individual when my work relocated buildings to be within the same block as Dahlia Bakery. You can imagine how convenient it is for me to get my Tom Douglas fix practically whenever I want! Ah yes, it is the good life. Dahlia Bakery really does live up to the hype and is one of the best bakeries in Seattle. You absolutely MUST go for their triple coconut cream pie. I will never eat another coconut cream pie because the Dahlia Bakery triple coconut cream pie is really something special. Rich, decadent and super coconuty. Oh, and the made to order donuts served with seasonal fruit compote and vanilla bean mascarpone? Out of the world. I also highly recommend stopping by for lunch - whether it's their special sandwich of the day or a salad which comes with a freshly baked roll. The extra care and attention to detail in their ingredients really shines through and makes Dahlia a true Seattle favorite in my book.

    After making an unsuccessful attempt at another bakery that turns out to be closed on Sundays I went to the next highly rated bakery that was close by. Turns out that was Dahlia Bakery. Being a Sunday it was already quite busy with the line out the door (granted you put 7-8 people in there it's out the door). Lured in by the thought of fresh fried donuts I put in a single order which gives you 6 beignets. They're served with jam and masacapone and after running into the city I'm glad I earned all those calories. They were light, fluffy, and not overly sweet in any way. I wasn't overly impressed with them but I'd like to come back and try the variety of baked goods they have because some of the stuff looked amazing, especially the pies.

  • Vivian H.

    I had been craving beignets and Yelp said this was the place to go to satisfy those cravings. We also ordered their bite sized coconut cream pies and a fig bar. I loved the toasted coconut and the crust on those pies. I know Dahlia bakery is famous for their coconut cream pie but I just don't get it. They were good but what's so special about them? The fig bar was HEAVY. I nearly dropped the bag as they handed it to me, not expecting the weight. It is extremely filling. It has lots of fig filling and it is not too sweet. I loved the cookie part. The beignets come with blackberry jam and vanilla mascarpone. The jam was good but had seeds and chewing the seeds ruined the soft pillowy bite of the beignet. So I piled mascarpone cheese on mine and ate the leftover with a spoon. Yum.

    I saw this place on an episode of Seattle Sweets on The Cooking Channel and knew I had to give them a try. This is one of those places you walk in and the smell is so incredible and everything looks so good..... what do you do? REGRETTABLY I came here on my last day in Seattle and I had just overeaten somewhere else so I didn't get to try any of the Pie's especially their Famous Coconut Cream Pie (insert Sad Face) but I did have a few awesome Cookies! I don't recall their exact names, will describe best as possible... Apple Pie - yelp.com/biz_photos/dahl… INCREDIBLE COOKIE, the cookie was like a firm crust and the filling was Apple, Cinnamon goodness it reminded me of eating apple pie in two bites! Peanut Butter Ball - yelp.com/biz_photos/dahl… A real good Peanut Butter Cookie, sandwiched with Dark Chocolate, I liked the peanut butter cookie but not a fan of dark chocolate it's a bit bitter to my liking. Awesome Chocolate Chip - yelp.com/biz_photos/dahl… a Chocolate Chip cookie done to it's finest! *Note to self, Next time in Seattle come to Dahlia Bakery FIRST

    I went in to get a large order of pastries for my office and ordered a caesar salad for myself separately. I requested tofu for the $5 upcharge. When I got back to my office I was surprised to find that the tofu was Asian sesame seasoned and went horribly with the rest of the caesar salad! I had to throw it away. It was inedible. Tried to contact the manager and never got a response. I am now hesitant to use this place for office orders. :(

    It is always hit or miss for me with Dahlia Bakery. Got couple of muffins and my regular choice of chocolate croissants. Chocolate Croissants this time wasn't as good as my previous several occasions but to be fair I think it was me. Wasn't craving Chocolate Croissants but purchased them anyway cause I always did before :) I had a carving for a good muffin: got Ginger Muffin and one with the berries both was just bellow average. So for me it is average three stars for the place.

    The made to order donuts were amazing. My boyfriend and I had to order another batch. Also the coconut cream pie is to die for. I am not a pie nor donut fan and these were both my favorite things in Seattle. The only downfall I would say is the price. But totally worth it.

  • Amber T.

    Make sure you ask about sandwich ingredients before ordering! The menu for breakfast sandwiches includes an incomplete ingredient list. My husband stopped in for a couple of breakfast sandwiches on a Sunday morning (the egg and bacon one sounded amazing!) but we only discovered when he got them home that they had cheese, some kind of greens, and an unidentifiable aioli on them in addition to the listed ingredients. Those extra ingredients made them inedible for both of us so I had to throw them away. Luckily, he also picked up some of the freshly made donuts which were DELICIOUS (if extremely over-priced). We've been back here a couple of times for treats, but I wouldn't choose them for breakfast again.

  • Rebecca P.

    3.5 The sweet cream of the famous coconut cream pie is divine! Such perfection! It is cool on the tongue, lightly tinted with sweetness, and the coconut flakes accent the perfection beautifully. Also had the sweet potato cornbread. A very hearty little thing. If I can recall correctly, it had the most moist texture to it. I have not had a cornbread as soft! But, as for the taste, it wasn't what I imagined. It was almost curry-like and had more corn kernels in it than a sweet potato flavor. About halfway through it I felt sick of eating it because it wasn't what I was expecting, and it didn't "blow me away" for me to really enjoy it. It fell below the impression I had of it.. The space of the bakery is very small. A line can trail outside. I liked how there was water available to drink - next to the door.. Would I come back? Truthfully, probably not. The coconut cream was absolutely beautiful, but not enough to make me want to return.

  • Lily C.

    Not quite 4 stars, but better than 3 stars. Dahlia Bakery is a small little shop that serves a variety of baked goods and sandwiches. The coconut cream pie bite was delish! Though really small and pricey. I think it was almost $3?! The chocolate eclair was awesome as well. I really loved the egg sandwich (hold the horseradish!) - the english muffin was nice and crispy. Friends thought the sandwich itself it was too salty but I liked it since I'm a big fan of salt. This is definitely a to-go place (there are maybe 2 seats outside), and only if you don't mind paying a bit more than you're used to. Would I come back? Yes, but not if I'm going to value for my money.

    Tom Douglas, Tom Douglas, TOM DOUGLAS!!! You have out done yourself my friend! This place is so on point! Located next to The Dahlia Lounge, across from Lola's, and around the corner from Serious Pie.. this place is a carb lovers paradise! Ill state the obvious. The coconut cream pie is the absolute best. There is no other pie like this out there. I also bought some cookies that were so good! This man knows exactly what to put into his baked goods to make it Now The curve ball for me was the split pea with ham soup that I had. That soup was THE BEST soup I have had in the longest time. They served it with the softest potato roll EVER! The best thing about this soup is you can tell it did not come out of a can. This was made from scratch for sure. The cashier said the most interesting thing to me when I was asking about the soup. She said "it looks really good today". That basically sold me on the love in the kitchen that went into making this soup. Speaking of the staff I must say that they are extremely friendly and helpful with trying to decide what to purchase (The temptation to buy EVERYTHING is there). I also noticed the staff in the bakery working. Its obvious to me that they all are passionate about what they do and it reflects in every bite!

    I have a theory that Tom Douglas is actually Bigfoot. No basis for that, just throwing it out there. I am not a breakfast person. I don't know what it is, but I generally am just not hungry in the mornings. So of course when traveling I usually have to force myself to get breakfast just to experience the local eats. We came to Dahlia Bakery based off the reviews, specifically looking for their breakfast sandwiches. And let me tell you, I wish I was a breakfast person. It was probably the best breakfast sandwich I have had, probably due in large part to the freshly made English muffins they are composed of. I can't attest to the quality of any of the other pastries or whatnot here. But yes, breakfast sandwich, thumbs up, moving on.

    This is a short and sweet review of Dahlia Bakery. tinyurl.com/mxn7br8 I went here to pick up a couple of desserts. It is a cozy little bakery stuffed full of sinful delights. The staff is very friendly and professional. I targeted a weekend afternoon to stay away from the long lineups. tinyurl.com/m35zopy My brother loves Coconut Creme Pie. This was my primary reason for going to Dahlia's. I also picked up a mini Chocolate Pecan Pie for myself. Coconut Creme Pie (single slice) - I tried this. I do not even like Coconut Creme Pie and I thought this was delightful. My brother said it was the best coconut creme pie he had ever eaten. tinyurl.com/jwfqal7 Mini Chocolate Pecan Crème Pie - This was oh so silky with just the right blend of chocolate and pecan. tinyurl.com/kzjlvab At just around $16 for two desserts, these are not inexpensive. But they are oh so worth it. Overall - Dahlia Bakery is a dessert lover's heaven. I would love to try everything they make

    3.5 stars They are famous for their coconut cream pie. It says so on the sign outside of the bakery. And the two people in line before me had each come to pick up their pre-ordered pie. So it made sense to me that I needed to try their house specialty. I'm actually not a huge fan of coconut flakes - never really like the texture of it. Lucky for me, they sell smaller versions of their pie - little coconut cream pie bites. I bought one of those and also their peanut butter cookie and ordered their asparagus egg breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich, which is made-to-order on an english muffin, was good - the egg was cooked well as was the asparagus. But it wasn't amazing - there was either cooked red peppers or cooked red tomatoes that had a bit of a tart or sour flavor that I didn't think really complemented the rest of the sandwich. The coconut cream pie bite was just the perfect size to sample their famous pie. The cream was really good and so was the crust. There were coconut flakes sprinkled on top, but it was actually fine cuz it didn't overwhelm the pie. The peanut butter cookie was good - it tasted like peanuts and peanut butter. It was actually like a peanut butter sandwich cookie, with two peanut cookies and peanut butter in the middle. It would have tasted really good with some jam! Like strawberry or blackberry preserves! The girl who took my order was very friendly. I asked her if I should wait for my sandwich outside, and she said that I could wait wherever I wanted and that she would find me to give it to me. The space is really small and can't hold a lot of people. Lucky for me, I didn't really have to wait in a long line. The cookies and pastries are displayed to the left hand side if you're facing the register and pies are in the display below the register.

    Best coconut cream pie I've ever eaten and probably will ever eat. Flaky crust, delicious filling.

    We came here twice for the doughnut holes made to order - they come in 6 with some mascarpone cream and huckleberry jam. We liked cutting a little hole in the doughnut hole and filled it w/ cream and jam. The first time we got it the sprinkled sugar was very uneven. The second time we got it we asked for no additional sugar. It's heavenly when eaten warm but there is basically nowhere to sit if it's raining outside. The breakfast sandwiches and bread look amazing - next trip!

    What to get: Coconut cream pie & freshly made doughnuts/beignets Cute little bakery close to Pike's Place but far enough that it's not overrun by tourists. They have a few small tables outside since inside is really just enough space for maybe 5 customers to stand comfortably. Dahlia's has an assortment of pastries, cakes, and sandwiches - all the baked goods look fantastic. Our friend told us to try the coconut cream pies and so it was great when we saw they had three different sizes. We got two mini/bite-sized pies and also one order of beignets. The beignets are made fresh and covered in crystallized sugar. They also gave us a vanilla bean cream and marmalade. The coconut cream pies were pretty good. You'd think that with bite-sized pies you'd end up with a mouthful of crust and little filling, but it was a good ratio of both. I don't typically eat coconut cream pies so I don't know how it compares, but I would suggest trying it. The beignets now, eaten warm and with the cream and marmalade was FANTASTIC. The dough was fluffy and tender which was great eaten warm. The vanilla bean cream was so good, I cannot even describe. I literally wanted to just eat that alone.

    If you're looking for a quick breakfast in the area, get their breakfast sandwiches! I like to add bacon in mine and the fried egg in the sandwich is perfect, which is slightly runny. However, Dahila Bakery is known for their coconut cream pie. This pie has 3 elements of coconut: coconut cream filling, sweetened shredded coconut and roasted coconut flakes. The pie is also topped with whipped cream and white chocolate flakes, which finishes it off nicely. What I love about this pie is that its not overly sweet and tastes like coconut, not like sunscreen. Another popular item at the bakery are their infamous dounuts, which are cheaper to purchase here than in the restaurants. These donuts are served with seasonal jams and mascarpone, which is another great breakfast treat from the bakery Dahlia Bakery also makes simple wedding cakes in advanced. I ordered a wedding cake for my brother's wedding a few years ago which was a 2 tiered chocolate hazelnut cake. We also brought in fresh orchids and ribbon to add on the cake (which they allow) and my brother and his wife loved it. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sample the cake at the reception but had a taste of it when they brought the top tier out of the freezer a year later and it tasted good. Other items worth trying are their eclairs, cookies and focaccia bread. I personally haven't tried another cupcake since but I don't think I will anytime soon.

    Dahlia Bakery is tiny so if there are 4 people inside you'll have to stand outside. Their coconut cream pie is delicious. They have a mini-size that they can pack in a cute little box to bring with you. The fig bars are also popular as they have real fig filling in a pie crust, but it's a bit too sweet for me. Good though! I also tried a few cookies, chocolate, oatmeal, peanut butter and they were just average, I had brought back a bunch for my family but there were not many takers. They also have bread loaves, and I've purchased a couple - multigrain and one other the girl suggested. They were good, but nothing too amazing. They also have made to order square donuts, that are served with jelly and mascarpone cream that I've tried at Lola across the road. They're very good, especially if you tell them to go light on the sugar. I hope they're cheaper at the bakery. The breakfast sandwiches are supposed to be amazing, and I'll try those next. Everything is fairly expensive, but a little cheaper than ordering it as dessert in the Tom Douglas restaurants in Belltown, so consider it a treat.

    Love this little gem! Have been going here quite often for a fix of their soup or sammies. They have so many pastries to choose from so you really can't go wrong. Mini coconut cream pie, chocolate truffle cookies, fig bars and eclairs are fantastic. Staff very helpful, efficient but easy going. Tiny space so watch your coffee.

  • Lillian M.

    Tried this bakery today due to yelp reviews... Glad we did. They had a fig bar which tastes like a fig newton, no artificial sugar but too sweet for me. However, the crispy bacon, egg, arugula, cheese on English muffin (which they must make their own b/c it looked almost like a kaiser bun/brioche bun but tasted like a light and airy English muffin) was great! Probably my favorite breakfast sandwich I've eaten in a long time! The combination of everything was just right! Had we discovered you sooner, would have gone for a second visit! Alas, today is our last day in Seattle... But glad we partaked! Due to the unusual wait time, they threw in some free cookies as well! Which I didn't expect at all but appreciated :)

    Delicious, and friendly. We were in Seattle for just a couple days and found this wonderful spot thanks to Yelp. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, I had the ham, dijon, egg and gruyere. The english muffin it comes on is not like the typical muffins I am used to. These are fluffy and perfectly toasted. The pastries are very good as well. The coconut pie bites are wonderful. They aren't too sweet, and are creamy and rich. Peanut butter cookie. Awesome! Truffle Cookie. Awesome! The ladies working there were super friendly and helpful as far as ideas of places to see in the city. 100% recommend this place.

    Dahlia Bakery earns these 5 stars based on their traditional butter croissant alone. I am obsessed with croissants, and I've been scouring Seattle for the best she has to offer. IMHO, Dahlia wins. No contest. For clarification, my idea of the perfect croissant is buttery, but not greasy; a crisp, flakey shell, but fluffy on the inside. Dahlia's croissant meets all these criteria, and costs less than $3. Make no mistake, my introduction to this heavenly croissant was no less than a work of divine providence: I was running errands downtown, finishing up around 9:30 on a Tuesday morning. Heading back towards Belltown, I notice a guy wearing bright green skinny jeans on the opposite side of the street, walking in my same direction, getting stopped at every cross walk with me. Sure enough, as we're approaching Dahlia, he beats me to the door. There is a middle-aged lady at the counter ordering 2 traditional croissants. Cashier: Sorry, it seems like there's only one left. Green Skinny Jeans: What? You mean there aren't any more croissants in the back? Cashier: I'm sorry. We're sold out. Green Skinny Jeans: (storms out the door) Well, that was a little dramatic, I thought to myself. I was just planning on getting a cookie (their cookies are pretty damn awesome BTW), but after witnessing that exchange I couldn't stop thinking about that croissant. That night, I tossed and turned in bed and could not sleep. I got to Dahlia a little after they opened at 7:30 a.m. the next morning to get this croissant - and after the first bite, I could completely empathize with Green Skinny Jeans outrage. ********* This is Seattle's Queen of Croissants. They consistently sell out before 9:30 a.m. Get there early. Buy as many as you can. Thank me later. As for Dahlia's other offerings, most tend on the overpriced side, though everything I've tried has been delicious.

    Dahlia Bakery is one of Seattle's genuine treasures. They offer simple, handmade items made fresh made each day. And all their selections are flavorful and delicious. For breakfast there is drip coffee, juice, a selection of egg sandwiches (all of which are wonderful), and some terrific baked goods. At lunch they have salads and sandwiches, chips, and soda. Of course, they always offer their delicious baked goods, the most famous of which is the coconut cream pie which is available as a bit sized treat. They also sell their mints from the restaurants as well as the beignets which are made to order. You really can't go wrong. You should be aware that this is a small, sidewalk bakery. There are a few chairs outside but no room inside to sit and eat your meal. Everything is take out. My only complaint is that they don't serve espresso. Not a big deal since I'm a drip coffee guy, but a latte to cappuccino would be nice. Still, these are small inconveniences from an otherwise perfect little bakery.

    The doughnuts are heavenly. Soft and tender with a delicious cinnamon sugar rub. The vanilla mascarpone and rhubarb jelly that come with the doughnuts are amazing. I would eat those two things by themselves. No bread needed. The mascarpone is velvety smooth and just the right amount of vanilla and subtle sweetness. The rhubarb is fresh and adds just a kick of tartness to the whole experience. The coconut cream pie is great. A ton of fresh coconut flavor. The problem with most coconut desserts is that they have this artificial sweetness to it. This pie doesn't have that problem and just tastes great. Also, its cheaper to get it here compared to getting it at any of the Douglas restaurants so thats a plus! I also tried a pina colada macaron. The flavor was good, but I didn't think it had the right texture. I was a bit doughy and I like my macarons to be like empty shells. Crispy outside with the cream middle layer. I will definitely come back the next time I visit Seattle.

    I had a class to go to in downtown Seattle for a week that was on 4th avenue. I walked by this place 3 times before I finally decided to give it a try. Everything looked amazing, especially the pies, but I opted for the chocolate croissant. To my surprise it was warm! Deliciously flaky, hot, with warm dark chocolate on the inside and a hint of sea salt on the outside. The buttery layers gently flaked in my hand from the exterior cracking away, yet delicately soft and buttery once I bit through to the interior. I can't say enough about these wonderful croissants. They are by far the best chocolate croissants I've ever had....thus far.

    We stopped in this morning for a quick breakfast. We were a little disappointed that there is really no space to enjoy the baked goods except outside which since today had quintessential Seattle weather, that wasn't a good option. Anyway, the baked goods didn't disappoint. I tried a few of the offerings and was very pleased with them all. We tried a few cookies, an apple dumpling, a coconut macaroon, a coconut cream pie bite, peanut butter & jelly coffee cake & a ham & cheese croissant. Great little bakery, we will be back!

    The fig bar will wreck you on anything else made with figs or buttered pastry for years, maybe longer. Pedestrian breakfast sandwiches find some elevated existence here, perfection in an English muffin, no greasiness, light, crispy freshness and just the right balance of textures and salt and savory. Small and cozy it's a visual treat for the eyes seeing all their creations. Impossible to stop in just once.

    I had the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had here. It was made to order, the ingredients were so fresh, and it was delicious! I only wish there was more than outdoor seating, especially in a chilly morning. If you're in Seattle, though, try to stop here for at least one breakfast sandwich. I also wish they opened earlier, they opened at 7:30 weekdays and 8 weekends.

    With a day of sight-seeing and savories now behind us and my mother and aunt not coming along to The Herbfarm an early stop at Serious Pizza for happy hour was planned but when we arrived to find a 45 minute wait my sister and I decided to wander the streets and just so happened to walk past Dahlia Bakery, a spot I wasn't sure we would make it to during our visit but a place whose smell would beckon us in even though the day's selection had dwindled to just a few options including perhaps the two most well regarded and one that I'd personally targeted based on the recommendation of a friend. With the servers pleasant but otherwise busy preparing what looked like at least 3 large carry out orders for later that day or the next morning my sister and I weighed our options and after finding out that the coconut pie bites had been made that morning we instead opted for the two fresh items on the wire rack behind the counter - a Chocolate Truffle Cookie and a Chocolate "Fancy" cupcake before heading to the street where we tasted the goods, the first intensely chocolate but shockingly melt-in-your-mouth-light despite the minimal amounts of flour and the second a rich and tasty cocoa cupcake topped with marshmallow textured butter cream fluff that was fine but really not all that memorable (particularly given the $3.40 price tag after tax.)

    I like pie and I like coconut, but I never cared for coconut cream pie....until now. It's hard for me to pass up a fruit pie for a cream one, but I had to try the bite size coconut cream pies cause they're so cute (and honestly it's what they're known for and there aren't other flavors for mini pies). Man, oh man, these little bites are straight from heaven! One is just right for indulging without feeling guilty and they're packaged so pretty that you feel so dainty eating one. I have to admit that after eating one I went right back in and bought another (plus a few more for friends). The bakery storefront (it's housed next to the restaurant with the same name) is tiny. Maybe 6 people can fit comfortable in there, so even if you see a line out the door, it's really not that long. Plus it moves sort of fast and the employees are helpful and quick to serve. Yum, yum!

  • Lydia N.

    A little pricey but totally worth every cent! I dropped by to try some of the famous coconut cream pie and walked out with a couple of the 'bites' and a flourless coconut cake for my gluten-sensitive brother. The pie bites were delightful and light - a wonderful contrast of textures of silky light cream, flaky crust, and toasted shaved coconut. Scrumptious. What really put this place in the books for me was just how incredibly thoughtful and friendly the gals behind the counter were too. Despite the fact that the closet sized bakery was totally packed, they kept their cool and were very helpful and friendly. Since I initially asked for 2 pie bites and 1 coconut cake, she threw in an extra pie bite so the goods wouldn't tumble around in the little container! Totally made my day.

  • Joanne W.

    Friendly friendly people. However, I think the donuts were a little overhyped for me. They were good, but not *that* amazing. Otherwise, people are great there! I wish I had the opportunity to try the bread. NEXT TIME WHEN I GO TO SEATTLE.

    This place is cute and cozy and I must say my friend and I sampled the fig bar and WOW! Awesome!-but that's where it ends. I love a coconut Creme pie and I heard that Dahlia Bakery has a famous pie so I had to go there. My friend and I both got a slice of coconut pie and... It was just awful. The custard later is almost nonexistent and the creme on top tastes like someone took a can of pillsbury frosting and piped it on top-not just that but the cream(frosting) layer was thicker than the rest of the pie! There were wet, flimsy, sad pieces of coconut on top with more curls of too sweet white chocolate that outweighed the coconut itself. The crust was so thin you'd swear there was a shortage. All in all I tasted next to NO coconut which is fine if you don't like coconut but horrible if you're looking for COCONUT CREAM PIE. You looking for pie that'll make you cry? Go here for disappointment. Cry from happiness? Go to Pie Bar, it's cheaper and loads better-and they give you ice cream too! If you are too far gone and you're already at Dahlia, get the fig bar-it's bombastic.

    Giada de Laurentiis sure knows her stuff. The donuts here were her choice for Best Thing I Ever Ate's "Totally Fried" episode. They seriously might be one of the best thing's I've ever eaten, period. Fried donuts: When I ordered, my coworkers and I were expecting a single freshly fried donut, so when the girl charged us over $7, I was thinking that this had to be one amazing donut. A few minutes later, we get a paper bag with 6 bigger than bite sized beignets rolled in cinnamon sugar. A bite into each one of these was so heavenly! My problem with beignets are that they're usually way too fried and greasy, while the dough is too dense. These have an amazing fluffy dough. I could eat these on their own and die of bliss, but the vanilla bean mascarpone and the seasonal fruit compote (ours was peach) are really, really great. I cannot speak enough about how wonderful this bag of donuts was. Coconut cream pie: I know this was the other thing I HAD to order from a Tom Douglas restaurant, but maybe it was because I made the mistake of taking a bite out of this pie "bite" after I had the amazing donut, but it wasn't that great. I like the toasted coconut flakes and it wasn't too sweet, but it was an overload on whipped cream that, because it wasn't too sweet, had an overwhelming dairy taste. I can do without this one, but if you really want to try it then go for the bite size. I love that they have that option! Chocolate truffle cookie: To cover all my bases, I had to add a cookie to the mix in addition to the donut and pie. This was not disappointing at all. I'm usually not a chocolate cookie person, but this was so chewy and soft and rich in chocolate flavor. It was a tad sweet, but it's a cookie so you kinda have to expect that. I wanted to bring this back for my boyfriend so that we could try it together, but then I kept ripping chunks off the night and day after until it was gone, so I can definitely attest to the fact that their cookies still taste good the day after :) If you're in the Seattle area, you really cannot skip these donuts. Plus, they're open til 6 on most days (I memorized their hours) and most bakeries close at 3, so that's another plus in itself. Check it out!

    Suffers from identity crisis... I visited Dahlia three times during our Seattle stay because our hotel was about two blocks away. The other reason was we only discovered Tom Douglas during this trip and went to nearly all of his restaurants in just a few days - yeah a little weird huh, but we were floored by Lola our first day there. Figuring Dahlia would give us a Douglas "fix" in between meals, I stopped in for their famous fig/olive spread. To my surprise, Dahlia was an almost hostile experience. Not only was the spread served at a nearly frozen temperature (unlike at Lola) but they had nothing for us to spread it on, none of Lola's delectable pita bread, not even sliced freakin' French bread. The counter chick looked at me with annoyance when I asked her how I could enjoy the spread on the premises -- I mean they have tables inside and outside right? Well, forget logic. My request made no sense to them and I had to buy a cold baguette and rip off chunks for me and my guest because they wouldn't slice the bread for us either or warm it or the spread up. I was told they didn't have the capacity for it. On another visit, again, was greeted with an illogical response regarding the wait for a breakfast sandwich. I'm sure it's worth the wait, really. You don't have to sell me on Tom Douglas... but suddenly Dahlia had transformed into a finicky, "it's all about the presentation" kind of a place. Suddenly they did have some sliced bread on hand apparently, and yes, they would warm it, but because of that, I was warned that the wait would be considerable. This is all fine, but Dahlia needs to figure out which kind of joint this is. Still the food is good, I didn't have to tell you that, did I? Just brace yourself for the illogical and sometimes unfriendly, almost hostile service, which flip flops on a whim it seems.

    A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This definitely a destination for my husband and I when we are in the Seattle area. We had the bahn mi sandwich, an apple date dumpling and a spiced mini bundt cake. I have never had a bahn mi before but this was just awesome with very well balanced flavour. The dumpling was perfect with the apple still being slightly firm. Now the bundt. Oh the bundt. Talk about an allspice explosion in your mouth. I think I need a cigarette ;). Hands down one of the best meals I have had in a while.

    Stopped by this place after a late lunch. I tried the peanut butter cookie, which was really two, chewy, peanut butter cookies sandwiched together with peanut butter and honey in the middle. AMAZING! I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was the best cookie I've ever had. My husband tried the giant, apricot-oatmeal cookies, which was delicious as well. We also bought a loaf of the golden raisin and walnut bread. This was VERY hearty, with stout crust on the outside, but was surprisingly moist on the inside. An excellent breakfast bread that toasted up very nicely. The place is tiny inside, so plan to get your treats to go, but the cashier was really nice and helpful. She seemed to know all about each item I asked about, even though they had, like, 100 different things to choose from. I will go back as soon as I get the chance!

    I have turned into a Dahlia Bakery fanatic! * Delicious baked goods (mini coconut pie is my favorite) * Cute decor * Extra friendly staff * Good variety of baked goods and locally made foods A lovely bakery located on 4th Ave in middle of downtown Seattle. It's a perfect place for a light stroll and a midday snack on a sunny day. They also have these cute boxes they pack goodies in - so sweet!

    Been here twice, and parking is a biyatch! Double-parked the first time, parked in the neighboring high-priced lot. But worth the risk! The caramel apple brioche is gorgeous, and the cookies are amazing. I wish I worked next door, I would be doing this every day! These are so nicely done and packaged, they also make great gifts (although I would make sure to give them quickly!) Prices are a bit at the high end, but get something from here, and get something from Albertson's, and you'll see the huge difference - worth it.

    The hubs and I went to Dahlia Bakery after we went to Tom Douglass' Serious Pie. This place is located right around the corner, and it's connected to Dahlia Lounge. We ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a flourless jalapeno muffin. The lady behind the counter was super sweet, and ended up throwing in a whoopie-pie free of charge. Chocolate chip had bid chunks of chocolate and wasn't too soft; just the way we like it! I didn't care for the flourless jalapeno muffin as I found it rather dry. However, my husband really enjoyed the flavor and ate the whole thing! The whoopie-pie was moist, but not above average. The bakery is known for their coconut cream pie, but we're not fans of coconut, so we didn't end up ordering it. Over all, this bakery was good, but nothing to write home about. However, the customer service was super friendly and helpful with giving suggestions.

    Decided to order a bunch of wonderful goods from Dahlia Bakery and even got to see Tom Douglas when I picked up the order. The macaroons are about the best you will get anywhere.

    I love this place. The traditional rolls are excellent, but the baguette I got was all crust. Not sure if they just fudged up on that one or if that's how they like it, but that was not bread I could eat... (While I am a bread snob, there's very few carbs I won't eat. I once stabbed myself in the thumb trying to cut off some week-old sourdough because I hate letting good bread go to waste.) The chocolate truffle cookie was so good, I went back and got another. They have lots of interesting flavors, so if I lived in Seattle, I'd definitely be a regular... The place is tiny! you can fit maybe half a dozen people in there if you squeezed, and then it's line out the door, but it's definitely worth waiting for!

    I was tempted to take a whole pie (that's $37 worth of coconutty scrumptiousness, if you count the $5 glass dish deposit) onto my flight to San Francisco because I was jonesing some coconut pie something awful and I had been told that this was the best, but I'm sure glad I decided against it. The two coco bites I bought instead were enough to assure me that this, indeed, wasn't the best, or even one of the better, coconut cream pies around, thought it is quite possibly the prettiest. The problem with Dahlia's coconut cream pie is that it lacks the sweet, fragrant nuttines of coconut, of which there is plenty in the pie, at least visually. Mounds of shaved toasted coconut rest atop silky custard, but there is little coconut flavor to speak of-- not in the custard nor in the flakes themselves. It is curiously devoid of the tropical flavors one would expect from at least what is obviously there visually. And at $2 a pop, these popable coco bites are really not worth it. Many crummy diners have better coconut cream pie than Dahlia, and I bet I could make a pretty solid one, too. Just be comfortable with forgoing the elegance of one of Tom Douglas's creations, as well as the astronomical cost of getting one of his pies. The pie might have been disappointing, but the fig bar is splendid. There's tons and tons of sticky, jammy, dark fig compote blanketed in a soft cookie crust. It was also considerably larger than a coco bite, at the same price. If I were to venture into Dahlia Bakery again, I'd probably sample all of the other baked goods and breads, which seem to be reasonably priced. Dahila Bakery might have wonderful creations waiting to be snatched up by a lucky customer, but skip the the famed pie as well as the macaroon, which has a nice crunchy, buttery texture but is also conspicuously devoid of coconut flavor.

    Tiny place -- six people took up the whole space. And they sold out of most "morning" pastries by 11 a.m. But the cafe latte cupcake we substituted for a donut was so rich and fluffy and flavorful that it gave Cupcake Royale's salty caramel cupcake a real run for its money. Now that I think of it, I might have to taste both cupcakes again, and often, to really make such a statement.

    I had a sales meeting at the Hotel Andra today (catered by Dahlia Bakery) and with umpteen hours of discussing golf apparel, conversing with reps, etc, etc, I remember one thing and one thing only, "Tom Douglas' Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth" . YOW! Take that however you want folks, but the cookie was bomb and I am NOT that kind of girl! Two homemade peanut butter cookies with gooey peanutbutter smashed betwixt them. The other cookies were good too, but this one takes the cake! If that's not a review, I don't know what is. ON A SIDE NOTE: I have another meeting tomorrow and I will be stuffing these into my purse like a penny pinching mom of 6 would do with salad rolls at OCB (Old Country Buffet). I'll be sellin' em tomorra night for $5 a piece at Urchin. Code word: cookie.

    Simply reviewing the coconut cream pie: As mentioned: Tres creamy. Almost bordering on too much whipped cream, in fact....but that may be my own personal preference. However, the chewy/cruncy coconut shards, the flakes of fatty white chocolate and the coconut custard in the not-too-sweet, flaky shell made up for it. YUM. Ate a whole pie in 4 days.

    This review is strictly about the service here and not the products (because we didn't try any). This past Wednesday, December 19 we went in to Dahlia for breakfast at approximately 10:50 a.m. only to be told that they don't serve breakfast after 10:00. Really? 10:00? So much for this being a foodie town. Okay, we'll roll with it. We then ask the two young employees if they had any suggestions for a place that might be serving breakfast at that time. Blank stares, then some commiseration, and the suggestion that we go to Pike Place Market, apparently the mecca and one-stop shop for all tourists. As we set off on our own to find a breakfast joint, I see an establishment on the corner with folks enjoying .... what appears to be.... yes - breakfast! Thank you Lola's for serving breakfast until 1:00 and a first-rate one at that. What frosts me about the Dahlia experience is this: the employees didn't once mention, or appear cognizant of, Lola's which was literally across the street. Making matters worse, we realized after being seated that Lola's is the sister restaurant to Dahlia's Bakery and Lounge! As much as we like visiting Seattle, its food and wine scene is doomed to be mediocre and frustrating, as long as the establishments are staffed by the young and the clueless. This experience typifies what we encountered throughout our visit this past week. If you want to run with the big dogs of the West Coast, step up. Otherwise you're just a wannabe destination.

    Their adorable flower-topped cupcakes are of the homemade-tasting variety, but in a good way. Like if you're craving comfort food, this will hit the spot. The bakery's also a great place to grab a quick bite - sandwiches, bread, soups, and other pastries. But try to get there early if you're counting on eating here for lunch, as they run out of stuff towards the end of mid-day.

    Eh, nothing I ever had here was bad, but it never quite tasted as good as it looked. Maybe I got the wrong things. But I LOVE that I can get skordalia and pita to take home.

  • Kelli R.

    Holy crap. In 1 day, I ate 2 of their peanut butter creme sandwich cookies, bites of a chocolate truffle cookie, a scone, and some coffee cake. So I feel qualified to give them a 5-star review. Tight jeans prevented me from buying a box of Dahlia goodies to take home with me.

  • Pani L.

    Utterly delicious. I had the coconut pie and the macaroons. Both were amazingly good. The pie was topped with shavings of white chocolate that brought out the flavors of the coconut.

  • Kymberli C.

    We stayed conveniently across the street from the bakery and lounge. I was able to sneak in here to pick up some goodies for us. I got a banana cream pie, their infamous coconut cream pies (in bite form), and pecan chocolate cookies. The pies and cookies were really tasty and not too sweet. The lady working the counter was also very patient as I was deciding what I wanted. I wish we stayed in Seattle longer so I could've tried more things :)

    Tom Douglas has never steered me wrong. Oh, he has tested me. I hate fennel, but I ate it with that fish dinner I had at Dahlia Lounge...and liked it. I was unsure about large, whole anchovies on a pizza, but I tried it at Serious Pie...and liked it. I won't eat coconut, but tried a bite of the glory that is his coconut cream pie at Palace Kitchen...and nearly died with ecstasy. But he has never steered me wrong. So when I heard that there was a bakery filled with some of my favorites (hi, coconut cream pie), I had to go. I walked away with a bag filled with chocolate chunk cookies (perfectly chewy, even a day or two later), sour cherry pinwheels (not terribly sour but SO F*CKING GOOD), and those glorious peanut butter sandwich cookies (that made me cry. On two separate occasions). I would've taken a pie, but I had a long commute home and it wouldn't have made it. I also have SO much love for those creme brulees. I'm a creme brulee fanatic but stopped buying them at bakeries/stores after I had one at Whole Foods that was actually soggy. But those little creme brulees pulled me out of the funk I sunk into after the Huskies lost. To a really bad team. Again. In Tom I trust.

    The fresh baked donuts are simply AMAZING!!! They're rolled in cinnamon & sugar and served hot! It comes with two amazing dips - always a marscarpone and whatever fruit jelly that's in season! The bacon, egg, and arugula sandwich is sooo delicious! It's made with their freshly baked English muffins. MMM! And don't even get me started on the coconut cream pie! Hubby and I hate anything coconut, but when we tried this pie, we were in heaven! I even made it once at home. Lastly, the pear tart dipped in freshly made caramel sauce will make feel like you've died and gone to heaven!

    Excellent place, but i think they should know by now that if they sell so many of those doughnuts, then they need to make MORE!!!! Very overpriced but in most items it worths it.

  • Lisa G.

    Gooey yummmmmy goodness is that of the peanut butter cookie you will find here! Cannot get much better than this! Two cookies conjoined by this peanut buttery creamy filling like peanut butter but much better. Dahlia bakery is just amazing, but if you get one thing you must try the peanut butter cookie, it's simply the best one ever made!

  • Allison H.

    Friendly service. My breakfast was merely adequate, though. I expected more from a Tom Douglas venue, due to the hype. But my hot cereal was lumpy and the compote was something I could have whipped up at home. It was all just alright for the price of what should have been better than the rest.

  • TaDao V.

    Went on a quest for those infamous mini donuts and was disappointed when I showed up at Lola only to find that they had stopped serving food - in the middle of the day no less! Crime. So I went across the street to satisfy my sweet tooth remembering how I savored the light, fluffy texture and creaminess of their amazing coconut cream pie. It's like eating a dream my friend once proclaimed. Lo and behold, the Bakery offered those delectable donuts as well. I waited 15 minutes. Annoyed. My reward? Hot, melt in your mouth little sweet balls of yumminess. Mission accomplished.

  • Goldilocks J.

    Tried this for the first time this weekend. I tried the butter pecan cookies, which are chocolate cookies studded with chopped pecans and sandwiches with a butter pecan cream filling. Also tried the peanut butter sandwich cookie, which is the same kind of thing. Peanut butter cookie sandwiched with peanut butter filling. They were both good. I liked that they were soft and easy to chew. The best cookie was the chocolate truffle cookie. Oh my goodness! This cookie looks kind of like brownie in cookie form. The top has that sort of flaky crust that the top of your brownies get when you bake them. The cookie is soft, moist and positively fudgy. It is studded with chocolate chunks and is, IMO, the best thing they've got there. I heard it was voted Seattle's best dessert, and I see why. Fabulous!

    I love good handwritings. I especially admire people that has good cake-handwritings. While on my mission acquiring the sacred birthday cake for my dear sis, I went to Dahlia for the very first time today. There weren't much choice for me on such a short notice, there was the banana something something cake on the left, and banana something something on the right. Tough choice. The bakery girl picked the banana something something on the right for me. While she took my cake to get it nicely written on, I waited in the front working very hard to get in every customers' way. And during that few minutes, my brain also worked the hardest in the past few months, trying to decide what else I want to take home with me... 10 minutes later, I walked out with three boxes of stuff, and the coolest candle ever. --long thin candle, warm it, bend and twist as you desire-- Red Wine Chocolate Tart with Rose Water - I consumed what seemed like a decorative rose petal. People don't usually eat roses, do they? In any case, it was good. I will update if my stomach doesn't agree later on. Banana something something cake - dense and moist. Subtle banana flavor between each layers. And I guess my sister's latest obsession is banana, so bonus points for me. Did I mention someone in that kitchen has good cake-handwriting?

    Recently I attended a meeting where someone brought a box of Tom Douglas Dahlia Bakery pastries. Ugh. Big mistake. Butterhorns from Langendorfer's would have been better. At least they would have been FRESH (or tasted fresh). Now I understand that Tom probably uses all natural, conflict-free ingredients but that's no excuse for dry and stale pastries. These were definitely day-old quality goods and if Tom isn't around to see that, the counter help should definitely be intune to not sell them and put them out for the homeless. In a phone conversation to call bullshit on their goods, the person who answered the phone did offer to replace the pastries. Nice, but just makes me leery of buying their overpriced pastries for fear that it's just more food relying on the TD name rather than deliciousness.

  • Lauren M.

    I was in Seattle a few years ago for work and had heard about the infamous coconut cream pie so I had to give it a try. Thank God I did!!! Since I went to the bakery, I bought an entire pie that fit oh so nicely into my arms (the perfect size for a decadent dessert). I actually was able to take it on the plane ride home to NJ to share with my family and they wanted to make a special trip out to Seattle for it! Should I ever head out west again, I will definitely go back here!

  • Holly J.

    Came here after eating brunch at the Dahlia Lounge. We got a couple of slices of the famed triple coconut cream pie, the doughnuts, and a rocky road cupcake. Honestly, to me, the best thing was the cupcake! The top of it tasted like it was toasted, and it was amazing. I'm not a huge coconut fan but still enjoyed the pie. The doughnuts are delicious but are best straight from the oil. We had a 20 minute drive home and didn't want to get crumbs and jam all over the car. In any case, I look forward to coming to the bakery again and trying some different treats!

  • Jill C.

    What a happy place. There's nowhere to sit inside, so it's a grab-and-go kind of bakery. The croissants are tiny, fantastically buttery, and some of the best you'll ever have. You'll have to order more than one - you can't resist the impulse. The peanut butter cookies are also really good. Can't wait to try the others. The coffee is incredibly strong. Soy milk hardly puts a dent in the acidity. Plan accordingly.

  • Michael E.

    I'm hard on bakeries, I expect a lot. I expect great coffee, etc. Dahlia Bakery makes great, but somewhat limited baked goods. I had the chocolate truffle which is really a chocolaty cookie. It was wonderful. But to blow me away I need some tables and some more "bakery smell" and some more wonderfulness. Don't get me wrong, I love Tom and his deals, but this is no "Mike's" in Boston.

    (3)

  • Shannon W.

    Great, NYC inspired bakery next to Dahlia Lounge. I loved the chocolate truffle cookie, which was gooey, super chocolately, and definitely sinful. I didn't prefer the mini coconut pies because they were filled with too much frosting and not enough coconut. I'll recommend Dahlia to others because their snacks and lunch items are fresh while you can get in and out fast.

    (4)

  • Denver D.

    While staying at the Hotel Andra I would visit Dahlia's as they opened their doors in the morning for a bag of doughy love. 6 Fresh little donuts served with Mascarpone and Jam is a great way to start a day. An egg sandwich with bacon served on a croissant is also pretty amazing. A Barista would have made it perfect.

  • Trevin C.

    While I'm not a huge fan of Dahlia Lounge over other restaurants (including other Tom Douglas restaurants), I consider this one of the best kept secrets in Seattle. I absolutely love the Coconut Cream Pie at all of Douglas' restaurants. It should be renamed to Tasty Creamy Sinful Bliss as far as I'm concerned. Instead of having to get a reservation at one of his restaurants, you can actually buy one of the pies at the Dahlia bakery, including other tasty goodness. About a month ago, I stopped by and had this phenomenal miso marinated tofu sandwich. I'm normally a complete carnivore when it comes to my meals, but this tofu sandwich was to die for. They seem to rotate their selection of sandwiches around, but the desserts are constant and should be a staple for all special occasions.

  • Damon D.

    Next best thing to a pina colada! If you're heading to a dinner party and forgot to pack a killer dessert swing by and pick up Dahlia's toasted coconut creme pie. It is both beautiful and scrumptous, practically perfect in every way. They have 2 sizes available. Be prepared to drop about $40 on the larger one. It comes served in a real glass baking dish so if you are really shady you can try to pull it off as your own. Tip: Return the baking dish and you'll get your $10 deposit back! And you might as well pick up another one while you're there!

  • Emily W.

    Wow haven't been here yet, but my co-workers just brought me one of their mini coconut cream pies. Wow, there's like shaved white chocolate on top and the coolness of the coconut cream mixed with the crust was YUMMY! So yummy, we saved one bit to grab a cup of coffee so we could fully enjoy it. Definitely checking this place out real soon.

  • John W.

    This is part of the group of Tom Douglas places here in Seattle. I was very excited to get a cherry almond scone, because I love cherrie's and almonds!! It was pretty good with a hint of lemon, but nothing revolutionary. I would want to visit it again though and try some more stuff. Their breads looked amazing!

  • Sarah B.

    Decent bakery with a few exceptional delights. I usually hit bakeries at the end of the day. That's when I tend to want something sweet and it also means I get to see bakeries in their worst form. While the shelves were getting close to empty, there was still something from every selection to try. So I told the nice girl behind the counter to grab a box and start giving me samples. She actually apologized that there wasn't a lot of any particular item but that most had been made about an hour ago. I got a great blend of items and really enjoyed their oatmeal apricot cookies. Very nice mix. I was definitely impressed with the nice service and the interesting pastries. I can see why everything loves this place.

  • Ange G.

    YUM. The baby craved fruit pies, so I went to see if they had pies. I got a mini rhubarb pie, a caramelized pear tart, and a coconut cream pie bite. A little pricey, but well worth it! The pie dough was light and flaky. And now I will roll myself onto a plane back home.

    my husband was in seattle for a week on business so i came to spend the weekend with him. i found out about this place on yelp and i'm so glad. we walked quite a bit to get to this place for breakfast (started near pioneer square) but it was worth it! the English muffin with walnut butter and banana was totally strange and totally delicious (and almost naughty) - i could only eat one bite of my husband's since i already had an egg bacon sandwich which was good but nothing like that! we also got a bite size of the coconut cream pie since i heard so much about it and it did not disappoint. very satisfying! would come back if i'm ever back in seattle!

  • Neil T.

    This is a great bakery, BUT there is nothing else to talk about except the off the hook, absolutely incredible COCoNUT CREAM PIE! I am a coconut fanatic-this was the best cocnut cream pie I have ever tasted, with the exception of a truck stop in central Wyoming on a long bus ride in the 70's.....but I digress-fresh grated cocnut chips,not flakes, white chocolate and luscious whipped cream, egg white custard probably full of coconut milk, YOU WANT THIS! Bravo Dahlia, you are coconut cream pie GODS!

    I just finished my lunch from Dahlia Bakery. A group of us from work were burnt out on our usual lunch choices in the area, and I had suggested we try the Dahlia Bakery. I was initialy skeptical, as the menu doesn't look like they'd really cater to the lunch crowd. I WAS WRONG. I ordered the turkey sandwich, and it was likely one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The bread was a perfect sandwich bread (hard enough to keep the sandwich together, yet soft) I also ordered a mini Coconut Cream Pie Bite, that was equally as amazing.

  • Sherah S.

    Dahlia Bakery is a super-cute treat I finally had the pleasure to check out. I really loved the warmth of the inside, and how you can look through the bakery racks and see the bakers in action in the back. I tried the Russian tea cakes, which were just the right texture and had more nuts than usual, which I liked. The coconut macaroons were crispy and light, with a more chewy inside.. maybe I've never had a "real" macaroon, but I expected the more moist and dense versions you see at the regular grocery store. Pleasant. Finally, I tried out the sweet potato and chive scone with parmesan cheese--it was awesome. It also had an unusual name I can't remember or find on the bakery's menu ( tomdouglas.com/bakery/ba… ). It was baked perfectly; I was impressed. I am really into the savory scones these days. For two teacakes, two macaroons, and one scone, it was less than $6, which I thought was really inexpensive! There are a few tables outside, but none inside. It was very clean and cute all around. The only negative thing I encountered here was the cashier..maybe she was tired, but she was pretty short and not willing to help us out when we were trying to point at/pronounce the unusually-named scone. She just seemed annoyed. Luckily, another employee figured out what we were pointing at and pronounced the item for us, and the cashier didn't have to do any extra work.

    Dahlia's Bakery will always have a special place in my heart. It was my first taste of Seattle.The turkey and muenster sandwich was on fresh focaccia bread sprinkled with sea salt - so good that I went back twice during my 4 day visit. It was heaven with a clementine Izze sparkling juice. I adore everything about this bakery: vintage cake stands for sale, Swedish fish and mints in clear boxes, warm wood paneling, glass display cases filled with cookies, breads and tarts, and chalk board menus that list daily specials and offerings. A real gem in the city...

  • Lisa T.

    Delicious-y, awesome-y, buttery, goodness! My favorite downtown indulgence. Hopped on in the other day (surprising there wasn't a huge mob of people jammed inside), and got myself two of the most amazing little delectable bites. Yep, they are pricey. And when it's busy, it's hard to decide what you want b/c you can't see all the baked goods on the side. But, no matter what ya get - it's gonna be a little bite o' heaven in your mouth. My recent awesome bites: the bite-size coconut cream pie. Just the perfect size (ok, not really b/c I could easily have eaten two or three!). And my favorite cookie there..maybe anywhere (whoa!): the chocolate butter pecan cookie. It's small, but it's a sandwich cookie...so it's kinda like getting two cookies. But seriously AMAZING! Savor each bite...or you'll need to make a U-turn back for more. Have not tried the breads here, but hard to imagine they aren't awesome either.

  • cat b.

    Three words: Chocolate Truffle Cookie. As tempting as it is, I cannot buy a mini coconut cream pie, because it's really not that small, and I'd probably eat the whole thing in one sitting...and get really depressed about it later. I hadn't tried Tom's cookies, so I jumped at the chance. My husband tried Grandma's Schnecken, which is supposedly legendary (according to what I read in a Tom Douglas cookbook). So it was my recommendation. They look like cinnamon rolls. We took our treats home, and...I ate my cookie immediately. I don't think I even stopped to sip any tea...I just wolfed it down. It was insanely chocolatey, and not in an obnoxious way...I wanted another one. Immediately. FYI, my husband said the schnecken was just OK. We'll just have to continue trying each item in this place...the horror!

    This tiny little bakery beside the Dahlia Lounge has surprised and impressed me every time I've been in there. I've had more of the breads than the sweets though everything always looks tempting. The breads are always spot on. Crisp crust. Chewy center. Fresh ingredients. Whether it is a basic ficelle, a tasty potato bread, an olive ciabatta, or something with walnuts baked into it, the bread has always been good. Whenever I've served it at dinner parties people always ask 1) if I baked it and 2) where I got it. I always tell them the truth. Well, most of the time I do.

  • Adine L.

    my sister and i decided to stop here for some dessert after walking around downtown today. we ordered a few items and sampled each other's treats. the mini-coconut creme pies were so cute! they weren't very sweet but i liked that about them. we also shared a rose wine chocolate tart which was pretty good, but the real winner was the chocolate truffle cookie. HEAVENLY. kerrie just brought to my attention that i'd only given this place three stars, so i changed it to a four, even tho if we were to get technical, i'd give it 3.5, just for the cramp factor. (it got really crowded in there when i went). did i happen to mention that i get selective claustrophobia? heh.

    This is the first place I've found in Seattle that has blown me away. Went in yesterday afternoon after changing hotels and had a sublime chocolate sandwich cookie with butter pecan creme in the middle. I HATE chocolate cookies so for me to say this is delicious - it is amazing! Saw they had breakfast so went back this morning. Had a wonderful egg sandwich with a fresh baked english muffin. Oh my gawd - best egg sandwich I have ever had - all the ingredients were top quality. I'm hooked and plan on spending every breakfast for the next week there. English muffin with walnut butter and bananas are next. Oh also, tried a peanut butter cookie sandwich - it is what those girl scout cookies wish to be when they grow up.

  • Julie H.

    Alas, I have only eaten cupcakes from Dahlia Bakery, it seems like I would enjoy everything else there, too. That being said, their cupcake is ridiculously amazing. Dahlia only serves one flavor, a dense, dark chocolate that is so moist and chocolately I was floored. Topped off with some pretty frosting petals, the cupcake is a tiny treat that's worth stopping in.

    (5)

  • Vicki L.

    this place has the best guilty-pleasure treats. if you have a chance, stop by in the morning for one of the breakfast sandwiches and you'll be thankful you did. they have a great selection of small cookies, tarts, and specialty loaves, and are in a great location if you're trying to grab something quick on the go. but all in all, it's no surprise that this place is tops, as tom douglas rarely disappoints.

  • John P.

    The Dahlia is also one of my stops on the carbolicious holiday dinner run. Russian Tea Cakes, cherry-almond scones, oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and a pie. Such a routine I'm in. If I'm downtown, looking for a sandwich, I will always stop here. And again with the cherry-almond scones and oatmeal cookie. And now my wife has discovered the tiny coconut pie puffs about which Tiffany wrote. They are just so delicious and just small enough that I'm sure there's hardly any calories to them.

    I enjoyed the baked goods at this tiny place. No indoor seating, just a counter with lots of mouthwatering goodies in class cases. Tried the shortbread biscuit with yummy blueberry preserves. Would have been even better toasted, but alas they have no toaster onsite. Also tried the buttermilk cake; both very good and worth a visit.

    The coconut cream pie is one of the most delicious desserts I have tasted in my entire life. It ranks in the top 3 of all-time. Even if it would never occur to you to order such a dish-- I myself tend to order chocolate desserts in general -- order a bite of it, take your extra statin dose, and be ready to have chest pain. It is that good.

    (3)

  • Kristen R.

    This place is simply amazing. I work very close so I have tried a lot of their items and I have never been disappointed. The cookies, the soup, the cupcakes, the sandwiches...they have really mastered it all. For how delicious it all is I find the prices very reasonable.

    (5)

  • Maria C.

    While they may bake bread and serve sandwiches and all that, the best reason to visit here in my book is DESSERT! Holy cow, chocolate truffle cookies and a coconut pie the creamy likes of which I've never tasted anywhere else. Cakes, pies, pastries, eclairs, brownies, cookies, tarts, biscotti... Sweet heaven.

  • Anca S.

    For the time being, this review is of their cupcakes only. In my quest to settle The Seattle Cupcake Debate, I taste-tested two Dahlia cupcakes (one standard size, $2, one mini $1.50) against two NY Cupcakes. The first was chocolate with pink frosting. I think the cupcake may have been a little charred. The frosting had no flavor and was not flower-shaped. It tasted like a huge chunk of butter with maybe a pinch of sugar. The mini was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Very yummy.

    Ahh Dahlia Bakery How I love thee!! Well to be honest I love Dahlia Kitchen more, but this is a great place to stop in and splurge on a ton of different sweets (and breads, but I always forget to look away from the bakery case). The coconut cream pie is good if that is your thing, but I'm more about all the cookies that are offered. Any cookie sandwich is amazing, as are the chocolate chips and shortbread varieties. I have been out of Seattle for three months and my mind is failing me on what I always order, but just pick anything and it will be amazing. This should be anyone's cookie stop when in downtown!

    I tried the chocolate caramel tart and it was divine. The chocolate was not too sweet and the caramel was light- I was able to eat some for breakfast and not go into diabetic shock. I will definitely visit again to try their other items.

    This little bakery has the best cupcakes EVER!!! The chocolate ones have a tiny bit of sea salt on them and it is just heaven. The iced tea is always good and sandwiches-YUM. My favorite so far has been the apple/peanut butter/brie on a baguette. And it is such a beautiful space as well!

    I love cookies! And Dahlia bakery has them, several delicious cookies to choose from every day. Delicious chocolate chip, ginger, macaroons, cream filled, and the 2 or 3 bite coconut cream pies are to die for! The only problem is they close too early!,6pm Mon-Sat and 4 on Sundays. They have sandwiches, bread, soup and ice cream too. I have only had the cookies and pie and they've never done me wrong.

    Had peanut butter cookies and coconut cream pie bite. Peanut butter cookies were awesome, but coconut cream pie was not that great. $2.50 for a bite sized pie is too much, I think.

    I have to admit that when I buy something at this bakery, it's because I want to buy something from a celebrity chef and I am so broke I can't afford to go to the restaurants. Having said that, the breads here are still fantastic. They are a little pricey (see note above about celebrity chef). However, I had a potato loaf from there months ago and I can still remember what it tasted and felt like in my mouth (crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, slightly sweet). So that's something.

    Very good egg sandwich in the morning. Watch out, though, because the fried egg inside is 'over easy' (so bring some napkins, and don't bother trying to eat it in the car). They sell 'mini-pies' which I think you're supposed to pretend you're buying for two people to consume. (You know the ones.) Yum.

    The chocolate croissant with sea salt and toasted pistachio on top was amazing. It changed my feelings on what breakfast pastry should be. I will never be the same after experiencing the light pastry, the dense, dark, sweet chocolate, and the rich nutty toasty pistachio. My Tom Douglas experience was a beautiful one.

    awesome breakfast sandwiches. even better doughnuts, they give you jam and mascarpone to dip them in. omg, are you kidding me? so good. -1 star because it's kinda expensive.

    THeir bread is soft on the inside and crunchy on teh outside. Never over baked. Their deserts are fab as well. If a bread isn't ready go next door and grab a drink at their lounge. Parking on street only.

    Dahlia bakery is a small little bakery with tons of treats and as you know you must get the coconut pie and doughnuts but here are a few other things i tried that were great too -the lemon chia poppy bread is so light and bright i love it. I only wish the glaze on top was smothered all over it because its that good! -vegan coconut carrot cake surprised me because i guess i see vegan, I think it might not have as much flavor but it was so perfect. it tasted like fall and also light and fluffy -brown butter cake with coconut icing- speaks for itself...only wish there was a more powerful coconut flavor in the icing Just plan on ordering a bunch of things because nothing will disappoint! The workers are so friendly and patient too which makes me love this place even more!

  • Natasha P.

    Cute little shop with lots of sinful looking pastries and cookies and coconut creamy heaven. The chocolate truffle cookie is decadently mind blowing, and the coconut cream bite is buttery, fluffy, and a great size to minimize my binging tendencies. However, my favorite is actually the dark chocolate cherry cookie. I can appreciate a cookie that's slightly more golden around the edges, with goldilocks thickness, and just the perfect balance between sweet and tart without throwing you down the diabetic rabbit hole (or so it appears!). Can't wait to come back and try more!!

    This bakery is to die for! It is tiny, and had a fairly long line, but well worth the wait. I had delicious cold brew coffee, a fig bar, and a brownie to go! So many yummy things to choose from. My friend had a breakfast sandwich that was freshly made and looked and apparently tasted amazing!

    Five stars for the banana cream pie! I really wished the croissants were better. Coconut cream is good from what I hear, but I don't like coconut too much. The banana cream pie is pretty tiny, but it is really filling. Lots of whipped cream, which was not too sweet, just the way I like it. The crust had a layer of chocolate, which made so much sense, that way the crust does not get too soggy. The banana part, made with fresh banana was creamy and you can see the flecks of vanilla bean in it. I absolutely love this pie. The pie itself is quite pricy at $18, maybe get it for a special occasion. The croissants and the pain au chocolate was okay, not the best I've ever had. get the banana cream pie!

    Awesome service, smells heavenly and their coconut pie is my favorite thing there. My boyfriend and I stopped here for coffee and a small treat. The little pie bites were perfect to satisfy a sweets craving (though I could definately eat a whole pie to myself :)

  • Gwen A.

    Take me back!!! We popped into this yelp find shortly before leaving Seattle for home (Southern California). I had read about the coconut pie bites.... but nothing prepared me for that deliciousness. Absolutely one of the top five things I have ever tasted. So much deliciousness in that little bite. The rest of my family enjoyed other treats (peanut butter cookie, macaroon, etc). I am still dreaming of that little bite of heaven. Can't wait for my next visit!

    (5)

  • Cassandra C.

    Disappointed. Went specifically for the coconut pie, got a mini to share...mostly tasteless whip cream and a thin layer of equally tasteless coconut cream. Pies look amazing with tons of tasteless shaved white chocolate. I really wanted to like these but just no taste. Go to Pie Bar instead for coconut cream pie.

  • Vaishali J.

    This is one of the smallest bakeries ever but somehow they manage to showcase a great selection and manage the crowds really well. The workers are really friendly and efficient ( do a good job getting people in and out). The pastries themselves are very tasty and the selection was the most impressive thing. My mom was happy to see that they had vegan cakes as well as flourless cookies/cakes. The other thing I liked was the bite size versions of many of their pastries (good for those on a diet or who just want a taste). The eclairs were very good. I recommend the berry and cream eclairs. The fig bar and lemon bar was decent. The taste I would say is not exceptional but better than the average. I wish I had tried the coconut cream pie since almost everyone was buying that. It is worth a try. This was a great treat during our ride over to Victoria, BC through the clipper.

  • wesley w.

    Another Tom Douglas hit! Can you say Triple Cream Coconut Pie? It is so good that it comes in 3 sizes....regular, small, and bite. Although this place is known for the pie, other items in the bakery deserve credit including the cookies and sandwiches...oh, but it always comes back to the pie.

  • Ryan C.

    I have sampled many of the fine bakery goods that are offered at Dahlia's but the thing that brings me back time and time again are the Fig Bars. They are absolutely the best! The amount of fig center is huge with a light and fluffy, almost pie like, crust. Why is it not 5 stars? The cost of 3 fig bars and two cookies is $13 and change. What did I learn today? I am not the only one that likes the fig bars. They were sold out when I came by around 1pm. Very sad.

    Dear morning crew at Dahlia bakery, you guys stole my heart and I love you for it. So what's good: Savory scone and ham cheese croissant. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and coconut cream pie All the breakfast sandwiches Flourless cookies and carrot cake My dog loved the dog biscuits and the ladies working the morning shift!

    I helped out with an event that hired this place for catering. I arrived a few minutes early to pick up the order, and conveniently, it was already ready! The lady that was working there was super helpful, and made two trips to and from my car to help carry everything. My group ordered the grilled cheese, tomato soup, and salad. Everything was so amazing! If parking were easier, I'd totally come to this place more. I highly recommend it!

  • Chad S.

    Chocolate Truffle Cookie is the BEST! Cookies are about $2.50 here, but Specialtys dry cookies are $2.79, so much better here! They have a rotating small pie or tart, always good. I have liked most of what i have had here, a few things were just ok. The hard to get Day Old Cookie bags for $3.50 are a great way to try different things. The staff is nice.....mostly.....sometimes they seem annoyed your buying things....

    Made two visits to this bakery located in downtown Seattle. Bakery is a walk able distance for those near Pikes or Space Needle. Greeted friendly and promptly upon arrival at the counter. Food tried include freshly made European style donuts (served with berry compote and mascarpone), breakfast sandwich (sausage, cheese egg on an English muffin), mini coconut cream pie, peanut butter cookie, and assorted cookies. Donuts were crispy, warm, lightly sweetened to match the freshly made berry compote dip and mascarpone. All were good to eat on their own or all together. The breakfast sandwich was toasted with freshly made English muffin, egg and cheese. Sausage was tender and properly cooked. Mini pie was healthy amounts of toasted coconut served on a flaky crust and cream. The mini pie was vibrant and bursting with flavor. Cookies are baked frequently. It's one of the menu items that is a must. The cookies have been featured in the Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine. Peanut butter cookies are prepared with freshly pressed peanuts. Buttery and delicious are the peanut butter cookies. Assorted cookie package included chocolate chip, and white chocolate. The assorted cookies were taken home and held well for many days. Still soft and well balance of soft and firm expected of a great cookie. Good: fast service, friendly staff, and delicious fresh warm food. Bad: small location. Overall, the best bakery found in Seattle. One can not go wrong with respected fresh ingredients used to make various treats or meals listed. Five stars. I will be back.

    We stopped here for a quick bite to eat and it was DELISH! I had the egg sandwich and you could tell they make them fresh b/c the eggs didn't look like some artifically constructed circular glob but rather like a real egg! The beignets are uh-mazing, seriously get them now. The vanilla mascrapone and rasberry jam were great compliments to an already fabulous donut! Their entire selection of pastries looked so good and if what we had was any indication to the taste of the other items - you can't go wrong!

    Everytime j make to Seattle I make sure j make here at least 2x. They have the best breakfast sandwich and BEST EVER COCONUT CREAM PIE!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO BE BACK!!! I will be thinking about you guys on my way back to Long Beach!!

  • Patty T.

    Ok the coconut cream pie is good but ladies and gentlemen (drum roll please) the true gem here is the apricot oatmeal cookies! If you like oatmeal raisin cookies, don't pass on this one. Soft with right level of sugar and tons of apricot and oAt. Hand me that cookie right now !!!

  • Hannah H.

    We came here to check out the bakery in the morning; it was a small place - you just point at any of the baked goods you want, pay, and go outside to either go on your merry way or to sit on any of their patio tables. The ham and Gruyere croissant was quite buttery, but the ham and Gruyere filling was just okay. The pastry filled with fig butter and a big chunks of apple was an interesting combination - not too sweet, but more of an applesauce consistency; the outside pastry shell was pretty tasty. +limited selection of pastries +outside seating only

    So, we may have gone a little overboard on our first trip to Dahlia Bakery. There's just so much to choose from! They have cookies, cakes, croissants, muffins, bread, cornbread, breakfast sandwiches, salads, and more! Of course I had to have a breakfast sandwich - I went with the ham and I was pretty freakin happy with the result. The bf got the bacon breakfast sandwich and was also pretty content. I'm obsessed with all things coconut so I had to get a baby coconut pie....otherwise I was going to buy like 10 of the little coconut bites and that wouldn't be very economical. I also wanted to try their cinnamon roll and the bf wanted to try the fig bar...so of course we added those on. Then while we were waiting, one of the lovely staff members (not sarcastic) bumped into the bf and said she owed him a cookie for that...so she gave us 2 - apricot oatmeal (can I please have this every day forever?) and chocolate truffle (also very yum, but chocolate is not my fave). I doubt they have anything that isn't 100% delicious here and I volunteer to return and try every nut fee item to prove this theory true.

    The donuts. OMG the donuts. They're little fried pillows that melt in your mouth served with vanilla mascarpone and whatever seasonal jam that's currently offered. It's easily one of my favorite Seattle area desserts. Dahlia Bakery has much to offer though. Sandwiches, cookies, pies, cakes, tarts, anything a bakery should offer, they do, with great variety and a forever changing menu. I had the caramel apple brioche today. So incredible without being overly rich. My one regret is not topping it with ice cream. Don't judge. Also tried the chai macaron. Surprisingly super dry and unimpressive. I wonder if it's because they overcooked it, or if the tea makes for a drier cookie. Whatever it is, the chai flavor was there, but the chewiness you expect from a macaron was not. And finally my friends, the donuts. Today was a cranberry jam, so fitting for the season! And delicious as always. I couldn't believe I saved a few for the bf.

    This spot was on Wifey's list in Seattle. We came, we saw, we conquered. We wanted donuts...and yes, we devoured them. They were freshly fried, covered in cinnamon sugar, dipped in Mascarpone and jam. Warm...delicious...yummy. Wifey also picked up a slice of peanut butter chocolate pie. She said it was good...there wasn't a crumb left so I'm assuming it was. Haha. The ladies behind the counter were friendly...I also loved the sign to get off your cell phone. 4 solid stars.

    I had one of the best turkey sandwiches ever. Ingredients: herb rubbed turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, avocado, ranch dressing, and potato bun. I know it sounds simple but it came together perfectly. Everything was fresh. The line was ridiculously long however a vocal customer behind me was chatting it up with his co-worker and apparently he called in his order. It's good to be proactive at a popular place. I asked the gal at the counter what the most popular bakery item was. She said other than the pie the beignets were a good choice. I ordered the beignets and they were delicious. The butter and jelly are special side additives that aren't necessary but it helps the flavor go above and beyond. I didn't catch her name but I thank her for her suggestion.

  • Courtney D.

    This is one of the best bakeries around! It is located in Belltown so sometimes it is hard to find a parking spot. The shop itself is small with no room to sit, it is more of a stand in line and take your baked goods with you. I have had the peanut butter cookies and chocolate éclairs and they were both delicious! I have never been able to try anything else because I am always wanting to relive the feeling I had with my original choices here. This shop is one of mine and my fiancés favorite spots and they were so nice to even play a part in my fiancés proposal to me! The bakery was one of three stops he had set up for the proposal and they had flowers and our treats all ready to go for us, after my fiancé went in and asked if they could help. The baked goods are amazing and so are the people. Definitely a great bakery o go to!

    The coconut cream pie is amazing, we picked it up and planned on eating with coffee before our reservation at lola's at noon. We didn't get a chance to eat it as planned. When we arrived at lola's they offered to refrigerate it and serve it age or meal. Outstanding service at both Dahlia Bakery and lola's.

    Lola? An hour wait. Serious Pie? Not open yet. Dahlia Lounge? Closed for Memorial Day. So Dahlia Bakery it is. The Asparagus Egg sandwich was pretty good! The crust on the sandwich was delicious and gave a nice crunch with each bite of the sandwich. You get a great balance of the veggies, egg, and cheese each time. It makes it perfect for a yummy Breakfast treat!

  • Vicky L.

    The coconut pie is delicious but pricy - a cute one for $2.75. But you can tell how worth it is for every bite(ha ha, actually you can have it in one bite). The fig bar seems to be popular on Yelp, it has really special flavor, however, not my thing. It might be some berry jam in it.

    Wobbled over from across the street just to look. Stepped into the cute little bakery, eyeballed the goodies behind the glass and next thing you know, there's a huge line behind Monkey. The tractor beam from the STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE pulled us in. I'm next? Okay, umm... I want that that and okay a loaf of that too! Next thing I know, we're down the block wolfing down the most attractive GRANOLA BAR and a PECAN FLAX LOAF! Overpriced but oh what a treat. Monkey shall return to try another treat. Got visitors coming soon and they must have local grub!

    How I heard of this place: Anyone who enjoys eating out in Seattle, and many who don't, know of Dahlia Bakery, adjacent to the Dahlia Lounge and one of the famous Tom Douglas restaurants/bakeries in town. Type of cuisine: Light bakery creations, where you can also enjoy breakfast (from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m.) and lunch - soups, salads and sandwiches. Ambiance: Take out. The inside of the bakery is small, which space to hold about five people, ten if you're squished and nearly out the door. Two tables with six chairs are outside for those who wish to sit and enjoy a pastry, cookie, pie or one of the limited beverage options. What I ordered: Being my first time there, I had to try a few things. I opted firstly for the famous coconut cream bite (a mini version of the coconut cream pie) for $2.00. Having requested some advice of the lady behind the counter, I also ordered the chocolate butter pecan cream cookie ($2) and the peanut butter cookie ($2) and the Tahitian iced tea (unsweetened). My dining companion ordered the turkey sandwhich ($6.95), which he ate half of and said was "too dry", and the sour cherry swirl (a shortbread cookie with sour cherry filling. What I loved: I had a hard time deciding between the chocolate butter pecan cookie and the peanut butter cookie, but I think the winner was the peanut butter. Both were two cookies sandwich around a light, but tasty filling. The small chocolate cookies surrounded the butter pecan cream and the peanut butter cookies, with chunks of peanuts were set below and atop the gooey, soft, creamy peanut butter. The coconut cream bite was my least favorite of the options I chose, though it does come highly recommended (even by a customer who had walked in as I was making my decision). Why I loved it: It's a great place to stop in for a quick bite or as you enjoy your walk through town and feel the sudden urge for a small snack or sweet treat. The numerous options in the case look "fun to make", according to my dining companion and as if the pastry chef has a blast creating each beautifully presented cookie, pie, cupcake, mousse, you name it. Cost: mid- to high ($2 for a cookie, $7 for a sandwich)

  • Robert N.

    What else can I say about this place? Small, cozy, and efficient. I have never ordered anything from here besides their coconut crème pie so I only base my experience on this piece of heaven alone. It never disappoints, its always fresh, light and fluffy. Whenever I need a pie for a party I call the morning they open and pick it up later during noon. The staff always have it ready to go. I also want to apologize about never returning your pans :)

    Hmm. I was really looking forward to stopping in here, especially since I have the cookbook and have tried my hand at the peanut butter cookies, with no small measure of success, I might add. I was surprised at how tiny the space was; like a storefront in Manhattan, so you had to wait for other customers to leave, but it was pretty late in the day, so long lines were not a problem. Unfortunately, selection was, but that's the nature of the bakery business. I was able to sample the aforementioned PB, which was crunchy, salty, and delicious. Just like mine, but a good deal smaller. ( I THOUGHT I followed the directions!) Also really liked the oatmeal apricot. Not so much on the $3 "Giving cookie", which had a lot of ingredients (oatmeal, chocolate chip, coconut, etc.), but surprisingly no flavor and a texture like something you would eat just to keep your bowels moving. Yum. (That was a heavily sarcastic "yum"). Apparently the proceeds were going to some charity or another, but you'd think they could combine their good works with good flavor. The staff behind the counter was very helpful and friendly, an attitude which isn't always easy to maintain with a constant stream of business, and I appreciate that. But I do wish they would have extended that helpfulness to warning me away from the coconut cream pie bite. It looked so good, but the consistency of the filling was more pasty than creamy or fluffy, and the crust was limp and soggy, no doubt due to its long sojourn behind the counter. I would try this again, but come earlier and sample some of their savory options. And I think I just might try whipping up that recipe for coconut cream pie myself. I'll let you know.

  • Jordan C.

    Dahlia Bakery's pastries are good. Kind of sweet. Baked well and beautifully. I came in two nights ago before closing, before leaving Seattle for the holidays. I'm pretty sure I was charged for an eclair that I ordered that didn't end up in the bag. I don't remember if I wasn't given a receipt or if it fell out of my bag somewhere, but either way I don't have that to check against. But the amount charged to my credit card is about $4-5 over the cost of the other items I purchased. So that's a bummer. That said, mistakes happen.

  • Jackie A.

    This place is so tiny! I was kind of taken aback when I walked in, because I thought a place that has so many fans would be a bit larger. Anyway, that's besides the point. Let's get to the food! I was looking forward to visiting the Dahlia bakery. After experiencing those delightful pillows of golden goodness at Lola's, I couldn't wait for another opportunity to have them again. The good news is the donuts were just as good as I remembered them. The bad news is, as I was waiting in line I looked at their display case and thought a chance to try a Tom Douglas macaron would be great! It was flour less which I wasn't used to but "yolo" right? Well, I tried it, and regret to say it was a bit disappointing :(. It tasted as if it must have been sitting in that display case for a couple days. Maybe even a few? Not sure if that's how flour less macarons are supposed to taste. But at least I can say I've tried it. Their other pastries looked pretty decent, so I'll be back again sometime.

  • Daisy K.

    I moseyed on over here after a good lunch from Lola across the street. My friends have hyped up this place quite a bit, so I'll have to admit I was a bit disappointed by their selection and pricing. While I'm usually okay with paying a bit more for good pastries, I felt the prices here were a bit too expensive for what I received in return. First off, there wasn't much around when I came in around 4. I guess it's a pretty weird time to come in for baked goods, but really? There were only so many items I could look at. Items I fell in love with via Yelp pictures weren't even in the display (which was half empty). I did ask the staff for some recommendations and walked away with a cookie assortment and coconut cream pie bite. The "bite" was really just a bite and was a hefty $2.75 for what it was. While good, it definitely didn't blow my mind and I felt a little swindled by what I paid for it. The cookie assortment was a mixture of their regular chocolate chip cookies and a heavier chocolate brownie type of cookie. While good, again, not worth the price tag. I also found that the cookies were not the soft ones I expected. They're more of the hard, chewy type - which is not a bad thing, but I simply wasn't expecting it. In fact, another patron who just purchased an oatmeal cookie was telling the staff that she could break a window with the cookie and demanding a refund. All in all, I am not impressed by this place although the Yelp reviews looked amazing. Maybe I'll come and give it a second chance, but we'll see.

    If I could, I would rate Dahlia Bakery at 3 1/2 stars. After having a great brunch at Lola across the street, we stopped by to take some dessert home. The place is tiny, with some cookies and bread on one wall, and a display case on the side. We were there for the coconut pie, so that is what we got. There are two sizes: regular for $35 and a baby pie for $19! Since we never had it before, we opted for the baby version. I really liked the fact that the pie wasn't overly sweet and had a lot of coconut in it. Next time, I would just order the bigger version for better value. If I just rate the pie itself, it would be at least 4 stars. However, the price and the worker's snobby attitude (opposite from the friendly service that we experienced at Lola across the street) knocked it down a little for me.

  • Kien M.

    They seem to do everything right. Must gets are the coconut cream bites or pie ad the truffle chocolate cookies. Both are worth the hype. The cream on those bites are light and not too sweet. Once you buy a bite, you will want to buy a pie. The cookie is every chocolate lovers dream, so decadent and soft that it will melt in your mouth. Also had their breakfast sandwich, english muffin with eggs, bacon, cheddar, and arugula. Good but $6 is insane. One star knocked off for being pricey.

  • Whitney B.

    Holy overpriced shit. Why would anyone want to risk transporting drugs inside their ass when Dahlia Bakery is pushing their coconut pies for $35.00 each?! If the shavings of coconut are not really the enamel off a unicorn's teeth, then any other justification is insignificant. Cream pies and coconut are two of my favorite things. Coconut + cream pies = an alluring hybrid that renders it irresistible. If it weren't for this winning formula, I would drop Dahlia Bakery like a hot sack of shit. Eating the coconut cream pie made my knees wobbly and heart race. It felt right, real, and NSFW. The enormous coconut flavor present in the pies combined with its richness and subdued sweetness is something of the godly variation. When you're looking for a dessert that satisfies, the coconut pie bite will suffice. The baby pie will do if you're looking to fast for 3 days. The 9" pie when shit starts hitting the fan, you're turning into a sagging bag of bones, and you're ready for true love. The one other gripe I have is that this bakery is as spacious as a rat cage. I don't think that appeals to anyone other than pretentious, foodie dildos. Like, oh yes, I can feel the walls caving in on me as I walk inside! It's quite dapper! HOW SPLENDID! Let's all go finger each other for these $6 olive oil croutons infused with hipster armpit aioli! Seriously, go grab your sugar daddy and be prepared for a coconutty cream pie that will mercilessly steal your heart like a thief in the night.

    I went to this place bc of the rave reviews. And again got really disappointed. Everything in here is insanely expensive too!!! $3 for a chocolate macadamia cookie sandwich? It's about the size of a 50 cent coin. It didn't taste great either. Bf definitely wasn't impressed! Then we bought this buckwheat lemon bundt cake. Boy that was gross. We threw it away after taking a few bites. Not coming back here again.

I purchased a peanut butter cookie which is actually 2 cookies with a peanut butter filling. In the middle of my cookie was a long hair, completely unsanitary. I will not be returning anytime soon...

    I've written in other reviews that I'm not a huge Tom Douglas fan, but Dahlia Bakery is the exception. Everything here is good. I love the Russian tea and peanut butter cookies. The mini coconut cream pie bites are two bites of heaven. And the croissants and bread are really fresh and delicious. It's definitely worth stopping in.

    good place to get breakfast! small but has a large selection of pastries. I got the lemonade, peanut butter sandwich cookie, and the veggie egg sandwich best muffin sandwich I have ever had, seriously. after I finished my sandwich, I began contemplating whether to get another or not :3 so goooood

    Bakeries...there simply are not enough of them in this world. Dahlia is a long walk or short drive from my office. I don't go here very often because I always end up buying too much. The last visit with the fam included the following: slice of coconut cream pie, slice of chocolate pie, mini-snickers pie, apricot quince danish, fig bar, maple bourbon pecan scone, and a variety of cookies. Everyone raves about the coconut cream pie. I don't like coconut so I'm not a fair judge and will abstain from my opinion. The chocolate pie was good - the texture was nice and flavors complimentary. I enjoyed the mini-snickers pie more. They really hit the nail on the head on that one. Typically I find such flavors as snickers too sweet but it wasn't. The peanuts, chocolate, caramel, etc. were all very reminiscent of the candy bar. The apricot quince danish was a bit different for me but I enjoyed it. The pastry itself was beautifully cooked and very flaky. The toppings again, were not overly sweet and worked well together. The fig bar is the grown up version of the fig newton. It wasn't as soft as a newton and had a slight, egg-washed glaze to it. The maple bourbon pecan scone was good but a bit dry (in fairness, it was made earlier in the day and we were there in the afternoon). The cookies were nice sized and quite good. The staff members were very nice, very friendly, and very quick to serve us. Related to service is the shop itself, which is very small. There are tables outside but barely enough room to maneuver a line in the shop.

    Homey food; Friendly service. I had an egg sandwich with avocado and cheese. It was very tasty. I couldn't put it down. My family kept bothering me for a bite (and then another) I highly recommend this grab and go.

    Never in my life have i taste such hot, soft, fluffy made-to-order donuts!!! Its a bit on the pricer side but it just melts in your mouth!! I feel like im floating on cloud as i bite into the goodness. Their truffle cookie and coconut pie are great also!! Love love love

    What a treat ... literally! Had one of the absolute best pain au chocolat in the US here. No joke! It was flaky. It was buttery. It melted in my mouth. It was just the right texture ... little crunchy flakiness on the outside and soft and melty on the inside. Oh man! (Way better than the one I bought from a bakery in Pike Place) I warn you though ... do not let that little beauty sit in the to go bag all day because it will moisten up all the delectable flaky crunchiness from the outer layers. Order it and eat it right away for the best results. Was also happy that they had at least one vegan option for my hubby ... a yummy little carrot coconut cake served in the most adorable little box. Yum!

    Cute little bakery next to the Dahlia restaurant. It's super tiny. One door as the entrance and exit so you're definitely tripping over people when it's full. They have a couple display cases with baked goods and I think you can order breakfast sandwiches and other stuff that they make behind the counter. We came in the morning so we all picked up some pastries. I got a pear and ginger muffin and then a mini coconut cream pie for later. I'd never had the combo of pear and ginger before and I liked it. The ginger was in candied bits form, mostly sprinkled on top. And the pie was ok. I admit I'm not a huge coconut fan but they were famous for the item so I had to try it. They also have slices and a full pie you can get. The mini bite was enough for me. Also one of my friends got the made to order donuts. It took about 5 minutes and they brought it out to us bc we were waiting outside. It's pretty much the same thing we ordered at Lola the day before. It came out in a paper bag and you just have to shake it up yourself. And it does come with the side of jam and vanilla mascarpone.

    Glad we do not have a Bakery this good near where we live or I would have a hard time not eating there all the time. We had their made to order mini donuts with the mascarpone and apricot jam. They were soooooooo yummy!! Of course my hubby also got the Irish wedding and chocolate chip butter pecan cookies to go which we enjoyed during on our downtown walk an hour later. We came back a second time during our weeklong stay in Seattle to get those donuts again!

    Hands down the best coconut cream pie! All the dessert looks good and taste great. I had the chocolate eclair that was very tasty. Small shop but worth the time.

    I am a huge fan of bakeries and baked goods and dahlia is one of my favourites in seattle. There signature coconut cream pie lives up to its hype and is a must try- you can even get it in bite size! Also a huge fan of their choc chip banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. If you are a chocolate person you will love these!

    Happy Hour coconut pie bites for $1.50 on MWF? Sign me up! These things are crazy addicting and if you haven't had one please don't start...you will never stop eating them. I came into get DH a slice of the coconut cream pie and some other goodies for his birthday. The two women at the counter were super friendly, helpful and hilarious! They made me feel as if though I was a regular and just went above and beyond great customer service. They even gave me a candle since I said it was my hubby's bday. Awesome! So many goodies to chose from and I'm looking forward to coming here again very soon since I'm within walking distance!

    They are famous for their made-to-order donuts. That's the only thing I've ever ordered from the bakery, every time I've been here. I love the marscapone and jam that comes with it. This is one of my favorite desserts in Seattle!

    it's a very small space but they have lots of baked goods in there. it's pretty cozy. I wanted something savory so tried the zucchini cheese scone. verdict? really good!

    *In my search for Seattle's best bfast sando I have a top dog so far, 3 kinds offered this morning and I had the sausage. Holy Dahlias Batman! *Love the service, so friendly and nice and they have an incredible amount of goods for such a small space *Gotta go back and try the Chanterelle Bfast Sando, just salivating thinking about it

    How have I not checked out this bakery before? I've had Tom Douglas desserts at his various restaurants, but this bakery is such a cute little gem. I was simply overwhelmed by the variety of pastries they fit into that little corner of a store, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the one I ended up getting. I got the maple e'claire and it's quite possibly one of the best pastries/desserts I've put in my mouth. The employee even made a comment when I picked that one. That's when you know you made the right choice... that's if she doesn't say it to all the customers' choices. Anyway, the creme filling was sweet, maple-y and just lip-licking good. When you take a bite, the filling might get messy but it's so delicious. I think I like these better maple bars to be honest. Their donuts are also very good and their coconut creme pie that everyone praises. I especially remember a creme caramel dessert that was a seasonal dessert...

  • David B.

    Tiny place, but a perfect spot for grabbing a cookie or slice of pie while you watch the world of Seattle go by. Weekends can get busy (this is a regular stop on many of the local foodie tours), but weekday mornings are a great time to grab a bag of mini donuts. Similar to beignets, Dahlia's donuts come hot in a bag of confectioners sugar waiting to be shaken and then dipped into a cup of marscarpone or sweet jam. And, whatever you do, don't forget the coconut cream pie.

  • Linh F.

    dahlia bakery. we ended coming here 3 times in 5 days to get three things: 1) coconut cream pie - we first had a slice at serious pie (tom douglas' pizza joint around the corner) and then became hooked! the special thing about getting the pie at the bakery is that it is available in a bite size! i would put the coconut cream pie and donuts on my top 10 desserts. no hesitation. i would note that the coconut cream pie is pretty coconutty. lots of shavings. i have heard the comment that it needs more coconut cream, less whipped cream and less shavings... i get it... but it's still pretty awesome. 2) fresh small donuts - first had these at lola... became hooked. do you see a trend? the donuts come with a vanilla bean dip and the homemade jam of the day! i've had both the strawberry and peach jams and they are freaking wonderful. 3) chocolate eclair - kyle thought this was the best eclair he's had. i know. i cant even tell you if that is true because i am not a fan of chocolate! i love you, dahlia bakery!

    Stopped by Dahlia Bakery during a visit to Seattle while walking from the Space Needle to Pike Street. The place is really small - I'm taking about standing room only small, with may a table and two chairs inside. However, the interior is nice and cozy. Ordered a chocolate chip cookie as well as home made donuts. The donuts were delicious and came with dipping sauce. The cookie was nice and warm. I would say that Dahlia Bakery is a great spot to visit when in Seattle!

  • Cheryl L.

    I had one of the breakfast sandwiches (bacon, fried egg, arugula, paprika aioli, forgot what the cheese was, on an english muffin) and ate it while I walked around the city. It was really good, not too expensive. I also picked up a chocolate truffle cookie. Its almost a cross between a cookie and a brownie. Both things I tried were delicious. Plus they had a lot of good looking things to offer and the staff was really nice. There is only two small tables outside, no seating inside.

  • Stephanie Y.

    Whoaaaaaaaaaaa. I can't believe I even hesitated on this spot. 2 breakfast sandwiches, an order of donuts (6 mini's per order) and 2 coffees please. I went with the bacon bfast sandwich, while the honey went with ham. The bacon included arugula and no additives like ketchup needed on this perfection. The egg was cooked medium and might I add, perfectly, with a slight yolk breakage and the whole grainish freshly made english muffin... Ah! The ham one involved dijion musard and it was good, but not sure if I love dijion on an egg sandwich. Those pillowy, perfectly fried little donut holes? Heaven! Dunking them in the seasonally rotated jam (this month was pear) may have been the best thing ever. They also gave you a little jar of marscapone, which the man loved, but alas I'm not the biggest lover of marscapone (I know, what's wrong with me?). How can this place not get five stars? The coffee was strong, every single dessert looked absolutely delightful and decadent and the employees are stellar. My coffee spilled all over the counter and I swear to you that the guy at the counter thanked me! Thanked me!! And I quote: "well this is exciting" as he cleans up my coffee. I don't think it's because Seattle's boring, I think it's because he was awesome! Is it pricy? Yes. Could everything have been $1 cheaper? Ya, but it's in the heart of downtown and they can get what they're charging; people gotta get paid, that's how this world works. Get here.

    Got there just as they were closing and my goodness! The tiny bite of coconut cream pie - the chocolate butter pecan sandwich cookie - yum yum yum. Forgot I ordered two other cookies until the morning after - what a nice surprise that the peanut butter cookie was actually also a sandwich cookie that truly delivered on the peanuty-ness. It smushed up against a jam scone from Sugar bake shop and it was all kinds of deliciousness. A gem of a place in a sea of bakeries in Seattle.

    Tried Dahlia Bakery out for the first time on a Sunday afternoon for soup and a roll. The soup comes with a the roll, whether you order a cup or a bowl, which is really awesome because: 1) The bread is amazing, super crusty out the outside, chewy and flavorful on the inside, and 2) I'd expected to pay a lot of money since this is a trendy Tom Douglas place but for 2 soups with rolls, I think I only spent about $11. The soup was a Tomatillo and Pork. It was good, but I was a little bit disappointed. It was a chilly day and there's no inside seating, so I was hoping for a hot bowl of soup to eat outside. The soup I got was pretty much lukewarm. Also, the soup did indeed have Tomatillo and Pork, but it also had chunks of this highly processed sausage it in that seemed to me like bologna more than anything else. I'm still giving 4 stars, which feels crazy, but the soup was good and the bread was FANTASTIC. I just feel like things could have been a litte bit better.

    Croissant 5/5 Lots of flaky crunchy layers on the outside showing great lamination process and shaping technique. Coconut Cream Pie/bites 5/5 If you like creamy coconut goodness, there is no way to go wrong here (except the mandatory extra trip to the gym) The place is small, so just get and and get out with your loot. Staff is super nice.

  • Sarah N.

    Right next to the Dahlia Lounge, very hole in the wall but quaint. Good service and a various selection of baked goods. My personal favorites were the fig bar and carrot coconut flourless cake. The carrot coconut cake didn't have much coconut compared to carrot which was kind of disappointing. As a carrot cake, it's perfect! I didn't care for the flourless almond apricot cookie and the sweet potato cornbread.

  • Naomi B.

    Pros: Loved the peanut butter and chocolate sandwich cookies. Very moist and full of flavor. Side note: I highly recommend buying the Dahlia Bakery cookbook...its excellent. Cons: The bakery is very small so its difficult to peruse the selection before ordering. I felt a bit rushed to make my decision because once you enter you're essentially in line.

    Choc chip banana bread is great! Have had it so many times now :) Tried the orange muffin once, and it was good, but on the dry side for me. I also got their house bread once for sandwiches and it was great - fresh and soft!

  • Kevin M.

    Orgasmic baked goods. The fig bar is tops. Have to try the banana cream pie or tartlette next time through. I can be a bit snobby when it comes to bakeries, but Dahlia's makes me humble again.

  • Angela D.

    During a recent trip to Seattle my mom insisted I try Dahlia Bakery. She did not steer me wrong! Their Coconut Creme Pie is to die for!!! Best part is they have Happy Hour and they serve the Bite Size versions for only $1.50! What a steal! I also went home with their truffle cookies and caramel popcorn. They come in cute gift boxes so they were easy to gift to my friends and family when I got back to CA. Must must try if you are ever in Seattle.

  • Jen C.

    This bakery is a hidden gem. It may seem a little small and overcrowded but after I ordered a couple things off the menu, I started coming here everyday. They have a variety of different breads, all very tasty. My favorite is their tomato soup, the perfect morning or afternoon snack. It is also coupled with a loaf of bread. Their selection of dessert such as their pies and cakes are amazing! You will have to check out their food yourself! I usually come here every morning for their soup of the day. Their staff is also very welcoming!

  • Emmy J.

    It's not very often you come across a gem such as this bakery. My mom and I were just looking for a cup of coffee and upon walking in, decided that we had to have more. The coconut cream pie is the BEST I have ever had...and this is coming from somebody who is a coconut pie snob (my grandma is from the south and always has made the best). After trying the pie, we had to get the fresh donuts. Who ever gets to try a freshly made donut? DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT GETTING THE DONUTS! Amazing, friendly, staff. Needless to say we will be back again and trying the other restaurants owned by the company.

  • Gerald K.

    I have enjoyed dining over the years at Dahlia Lounge for dinner while in Seattle. The tiny Dahlia Bakery has become my to go place for a quick breakfast or lunch. They have killer bakery items, sandwiches and salads to go. If you have more time you can have made to order sandwiches as well. I had the BEST roasted turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich that have ever eaten!! The turkey slice were so thick and juicy I thought it might be chicken. If you are NEEDING dessert.....go for the famous triple coconut cream pie!Absolutely on par with the full service restaurant next door.

  • Zha L.

    Fried Egg, Bacon, Cheddar, Arugula, with House Made English Muffin. As simple as it sounds, it was the perfect breakfast sandwich to grab to go for the morning. Unfortunately it took a while to get, but it was tasty. Tried the peanut butter and jelly macaron... As good as it sounds, the sprinkle on top was a tad bit too much.

  • Cathy C.

    There was a 20-minute wait at Serious Pie so I had to walk a few feet away to this wonderful place and make the most out of my time. The display case seemed promising. Although I'm not a fan of anything coconut, I felt obliged to ask about the famous coconut cream pie which they gave me for free! I hand-carried it back to Vegas for my sister. She said it's a 5 out of 5. I tried it but I still don't like coconut so my opinion on said pie does not matter. I got a cupcake, chocolate truffle cookies and chocolate chunk cookies. I would've loved to try the doughnuts I've already been stuffing my face with Top Pot doughnuts and besides, my 20-minute wait was almost over and had to head back to Serious Pie. The cupcake and chocolate chunk cookies were ok but the chocolate truffle cookies...absolutely foodgasmic!!! This place is so worth the 3 exclamation points, "foodgamisc", the 5 stars and the 3 pounds I gained.

  • BananaMonge R.

    Dahlia, i love you! Your sweet treats keep me coming back for more, but your made-to-order sandwiches are equally as amazing! Definitely try the coconut cream pie, even if it's just the bite. :d

  • Sara R.

    This place is AMAZING. We came here on the savor seattle chocolate tour and had the coconut cream pie & chocolate truffle cookies. Tom Douglas hit the nail on the head with this one - everything is so good. I'm a sucker for sweet treats, and this is really as good as it gets.

  • Y A.

    The coconut cream pie is worth the hype. It's awesome. I wish I can take it back to NY. Breakfast sandwich...yes. Delicious. But not worth like $6.26! I paid that much since I'm a tourist here but I wouldn't go back for it.

    (4)

  • Layna F.

    I only tried 2 things here, the breakfast sandwich and a cookie. Both were extraordinary. The morning I tried the sandwich there was a choice ham or bacon. I choose the ham. Came out looking pretty plain, ham and egg on an english muffin but it was so delicious. The egg was seasoned well with salt and pepper and the big surprise, mustard (I think it was dijon). I never had mustard on a breakfast sandwich before and I think I won't wont be going back to ketchup anytime soon. If your in the area around breakfast time stop by for this sandwich. It is a little pricey ($6) but it is a quality product. By the way the cookie was also very well made. Now that I'm back home I guess i'll have make do with an Egg McMuffin (I wounder if mustard would help)

  • Chad Y.

    I've often wondered how Tom Douglas came up with the name "Dahlia" for his establishments. Since the flower is typically associated with Central America and his food doesn't really have an inspiration from that basis it makes you wonder? I digress... There is something magical about a toffee rice krispy or a peanut butter cookie that has been baked to a perfection. While the pricing may be a little higher than your neighborhood bakery, it definitely is worth the price. After all, how do you put a price on tasty food (don't answer this!)? Also, if your sweet tooth isn't calling then you could try one of their sandwiches which is nothing to sneer at, however nothing really spectacular. Although, the breads are quite fantastic. So if you have taken nothing away from this review it's simply this: If you are ready to commit carbicide, then make your way down to Dahlia Bakery and you will not be disappointed!

    A little biased since I love me some pastries. Breakfast sandwiches, coconut cream pie bites, and biscuits + jam are a must. Not the full 5 star rating because they only have drip-coffee.

    (4)

  • Julien S.

    In one word, awesome. Delicious and perfectly fluffy made-to-order doughnuts with vanilla mascarpone and amazing seasonal jam (huckleberry when I went). To die for. I tasted them three days ago and since then, I went back every morning for breakfast. Also their famous triple coconut cream pie is outrageously good.

    (5)

  • Jennifer L.

    Doughnuts were insane. Hot and fresh out the kitchen/fresh out the frying pan, a little best of both of worlds, and both ridiculously true. They are made to order, served hot crispy and fluffy as all hell, tossed in a super fine sugar/cinnamon mixture. I didn't think I wanted a half dozen (the minimum), until I ate them all and until I realized that Tom Douglas knows WHAT IS UP with that vanilla mascarpone dipping sauce. Ugh, died and gone to doughnut heaven. Additional bonus: the guy working the morning I went was also super helpful and friendly. No line and no wait at 9:00AM on a Sunday. I ate nothing but the beignet style doughnuts and a cup of tea, and even if I did and even if the employee told me to fuck off, I'd still give this five stars. I love you, Tom Douglas.

  • Rhea K.

    Came here and tried the coconut cream pie and chocolate truffle cookie, as per Yelpers' suggestions. I loved that you could just purchase a "bite" of the coconut cream pie (basically a mini tartlet), so you don't overeat. The pie was very light and airy, with great coconut flavor and not too much sweetness. The cookie was SUPER chocolatey and somehow still airy? Loved both of them. Would come back!

    Banana walnut creme pie costs about $6-7 for the minature size. Pricey but out of this world. The whipped creme light as a cloud, each bite comprises flaky crust, silky creme, a layer of banana - oh do my eyes roll into the back of my head as I savor every bite. Smacking my lips as I type this. Gaud, how do I love thee, Seattle! Update: on Easter day indulged in the triple coconut pie bites. OMG! :D

  • Daniel B.

    I always take friends that visit from out of town here for one thing only: the made to order donuts with seasonal jam. It is by far my favorite dessert in Seattle.

  • Katie F.

    Mmmm... 3 words - chocolate truffle cookie. I had the pleasure of trying their mini cookies while staying at the Hotel Andra and I admit I snuck more than my fair share from the cookie plate! This made the Dahlia Bakery a must-stop prior to leaving the area... bought some of the full size chocolate truffle cookies to go (perfectly done - I think they're actually deliberately underbaked a bit to make it moist, chewy, and super chocolately!) I also had a coconut pie bite... I'm normally not a coconut pie fan, but loved this as well! Some items are a bit pricey (i.e. $2.50 for a bite of pie) but I thought the cookies were reasonably priced. I would definitely come back just for more of those cookies!

    (4)

  • Bianca D.

    Review is only for the doughnuts. About $6.50 for 6 of made to order little fried squares of goodness. Never had a doughnut like this, simple but so delicious. Doughnuts are still warm when they come in a paper bag full of some kind of cinnamon/sugar mixture. Also comes with a side of preserves and icing for dipping. So light and fried perfectly and goes PERFECTLY with the dips. Frankly, I wanted about 2 more dozen to enjoy right then and there.

    (5)

  • Jacqueline T.

    Triple coconut pie! mmm the secret? There's actually quadruple coconut, but triple rolls off the tongue smoother ;) bite size is good enough to keep it sinless! hehehe Not only are the sweets to marvel at, but their french baguettes/sandwiches are delicious. I definitely always try to drop by to grab one, and a mini pie. And sometimes some donuts, and cookies too.

    (4)

  • David G.

    This is a worthwhile stop if you are in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't walk blocks to reach it. Bakery treats are delicious-- some pretty rich & tasty options. Had a breakfast sandwich one morning, which would be more like 3 1/2 stars but I'm not sure what the rage is about. Only drip coffee, no espresso options. One day the service was stoic, so we tried it again several days later. Much better.

  • Betty N.

    **GET YOUR BREAKFAST ON HERE** Who would have figured that this small bakery would crank out a mean BACON EGG SANDWICH? For $5.75, BUY THAT. The meats, bacon, cheddar and that FRIED EGG! RATING: 5/5 "FAMOUS" DONUTS - $6 Disappointing. They were donut HOLES. Awww. Had better. Came with vanilla mascarpone and seasonal jam sauces. The sauces couldn't disguise the blandness of the donuts. RATING: 3/5 FIG BAR COOKIE - $2.50 I liked the idea of it being a gigantic fig newton. But it wasn't very soft. RATING: 3/5 GINGER SNAP COOKIE - $2.50 Soft and delicious. Ideal. RATING: 4/5 I realized that most of the bakery items were on the pricey side. Tom Douglas is obviously a name-brand. So a bakery I would definitely indulge from time to time, but cannot afford to all the time. RECOMMEND the breakfast menu; especially that Bacon Egg Sandwich.

  • Megan A.

    A Tom Douglas establishment that isn't a pretentious, pain-in-my-ass?! Preposterous! I have had so much difficulty with service in Tom's other restaurants, but Dahlia Bakery is always on top of their game. The staff is always friendly, efficient, and mistake-free. I have never had to worry about credit card mixups here! They have also helped me when I have been in a pinch for work. Need a quick gift for a client? Have them box up a dozen cookies! Dahlia Bakery has become one of my go-to places for lunch. The soups are a filling, cheap, and tasty option. Their beef stew is always super hearty. Even better than the great soups are the spectacular baked goods! The bread that is served with the soups is the true star of the dish. And of course, you cannot escape this bakery without a treat! The cookies are out of this world! I am mildly allergic to nuts, but I will suffer the consequences if it means I get to have one of their peanut butter cookies - peanut butter cream slathered between two perfect, peanut cookies. DELISH.

  • Cheryl R.

    The Cooking Channel described their triple coconut cream pie as made by angels. I couldn't wait to try it. The owner's of the shop must agree because their prices are outrageous, but I guess angel labor doesn't come cheap! At my first bite I thought there must be some kind of mistake because it was so disappointing. Someone else called this pie plain and simple, I'd call it plain unsatisfying. There was nothing sweet or savory about the pie and I've had better crusts out of the grocery frozen section. The whole pie was just layers of blah and when the blah ended there was more blah. My husband and I ended up throwing most of it away. What a waste! I'd be willing to try more of their products, but if this is the star of their show then I'm out!

  • Sarah C.

    A review specifically for the coconut cream pie, which I was super excited to try. Just FYI, a mini pie is $19, a two-bite "pie bite" is $2.50. Pretty ridiculous, but I guess since cupcakes are $4 these days I shouldn't be surprised. It was boring and tasteless. As a baker myself I was very excited to at least be happy with the flavor, if not blown away, but it was lame. It mainly tastes like fat because of the pile of whipped cream on top of it. If you eat that off first you'll get to the actual pie part, which is pretty flavorless - the only coconut taste I got was from the shavings mixed with white chocolate on top. Perhaps other items here are fantastic, but don't waste your time or money with this one.

    Great little place to stop and get a pastry and coffee! The croissants are so good and the sweets are amazing. Very, very tiny with no seating so definitely an on-the-run bakery.

    Seriously, how good can donuts be? Wanna know? Try these! These donuts blew my socks off! They are made to order so be prepared to wait 10-15 mins. Yes, it does take a while and yes, it's not cheap ($6 for 6 donut holes) but trust me, they are worth it. The coconut cream pie on the other hand is overrated and overpriced. $20 for a mini pie. That's like $10 a slice. Are you serious? It's good but not $20 dollars good. Just go for the donuts. Minus one star for their ridiculous prices.

    Coconut cream pie is an absolute must - get a slice, skip the mini-tart version. Macarons are surprisingly well-made. Pear tart is quite gorgeous. Biscuits with strawberry preserves are delish for breakfast - don't forget to check out Serious Biscuit!

    Oh, yum! There should be a place like this in every town. I was too late for the famous croissant the first of my two days in town (arriving around 1pm), so I got the chocolate chunk cookie and it was without doubt one of the best chocolate cookies I've ever had. I asked what time I should arrive the next day to get a croissant, and the counter-guy said, "You should be fine if you are here by 10am". Not so! I arrived at 9:30 the next day (my last day in town) and they were all out! I was torn between going into a "green skinny jeans" fit of outrage (makes sense only if you've read all the reviews), or crying. Instead, I just said, "Never mind, I guess I'll just have to wait until next year" since I'm not in town that often. I was secretly hoping they would take pity on me and produce one of the flaky croissant's they had maybe hidden away for themselves, but it didn't happen and I had to walk down to Pike's market area to get an inferior pastry. Needless to say, I will be back.

    It's good, we stopped in here for dessert after eating lunch @ serious pie and got the Truffle cookie- super rich, but not overwhelmingly sweet and I couldn't stop eating it. Fig bar- tasty stuff, high quality ingredients Peanut butter cookie- peanut butter BETWEEN 2 cookies. soooo good About $2.50 for one thing, reasonable and tasty desserts.

    We need to talk about the apple dumpling. A portable piece of baked apple pie goodness. Filling, delicious and so worth it. I don't even have an intelligent commentary, because I spent the whole time eating this thing thinking, "This is good," and little else besides how satisfying it was. I'll definitely have to snag another one when I'm in the area. Or maybe when I'm kinda sorta close to the area. The service was friendly, the menu has a good variety and I'm very eager to try more. If I can stay away from this apple dumpling for long enough to choose something else. These are the tough choices in life.

    Stopped by while walking home to my friend's in Belltown for a snack! The oatmeal apricot cookies are delicious. I got that tip from a yelper and I loved it. It had the right amount of chew and sweetness lended by the apricots and the cranberries. It was crisp around the edges. Very, very good. Very cute storefront and somewhat reasonable prices. A good cookie is worth a good price!

    Take that Cafe Du Monde. Seattle has dangerous donuts! Its absolutely scandalous how good the made to order donuts at Dahlia Bakery are. Not just for breakfast anymore, the donuts can be ordered all day. They emerge from the kitchen a perfect, tiny mouthfuls, still warm with a coat of powdered sugar, and accompanied by sweet fresh made berry jam, and a side of vanilla marscarpone. New Orleans has its beignets. Seattle has its donuts. The Dahlia donut is on a whole other level. I've tried both, and while I love and respect the French Quarter, I think we may have won this round. Oh, and have you tried our expresso? Sorry. Didn't mean to rub it in... ;) (p.s. Fellow cupcake lovers, Dahlia Bakery also has some adorable and tasty cupcakes. This is a darned good cuppie cake, I must say!)

    Yet another Tom Douglas wonder! The pastries in here are to die for, especially the pumpkin whoopie pie and the coconut cream pie (and I don't like coconut!). Great sandwich offerings to-go as well, and the morning hot cereal is very delicious and filling.

    5 Stars for the $35 Coconut Cream Pie (and $5 pie deposit) and the $2.50 Coconut Cream Bites. 1 Star for their cupcakes. We got the PBJ cupcake (peanut butter base cake and jelly frosting) and Chocolate Cupcake with Buttercream. We didn't taste the peanut butter nor the jelly. For the Chocolate Cupcake with Buttercream, it had bread-like consistency and they definitely didn't skimp on the butter for the buttercream. Preferably, I would have enjoyed less buttercream and more cake -- there was way too much frosting -- it was the size of a regular ice cream scoop! Averages out to 3 stars.

    Happy Coconut Cream Pie Day!! Seriously, I don't know who comes up with these 'national' holidays but when it comes to food, I don't fight it So to get the best Coconut Cream Pie I decided to hope a plane to Seattle to a place I have heard so much about... A place that claims the title of the 'Best Cream Pie' in America. Dahlia Bakery After sussing out a cream pie vendor and reading 100's of Yelp reviews, they all had one thing in common; this was the place to be! As I strolled into the very unassuming bakery, no bigger then a breadbox, I was welcomed by two female staff who must have seen pie in my eyes... They knew what I was there for. My pupils dilated and became fixed on a $35 Triple Coconut Cream Pie As I places my order for the pie and a fork, they tried to dissuade me and offer me a much more sensible 'Pie Bite' for $2.5o After pleading with the girls we settled on a 'slice' of the BIG pie. Now I'm not sure what the price was because I pretty much blacked out as she scooped it into the box, so I handed her my wallet as I snatched away my 'to-go' container, I had full intentions on eating it before I made it the 3 feet out the door. So was this pie worthy of the trip and the bigger question; "Will this be the Coconut Cream Pie I will be celebrating my 'National Holiday' with?" Absolutely! This pie is so dense its like snacking on a rolled up, damp sport sock but without the funk! It's not overly sweet, you can taste and see the fresh shredded coconut throughout. The cream is thick and rich, not filled with sugar like a 'store bought', you can tell this is made from whole quality ingredients! And don't even get me stated on the hand pressed crust.. I just got dizzy thinking about it! Today Dahlia will be celebrating this 'National Holiday' with their pie bites for $2.00 a pop. Trust me, I'll be there getting a box! Mr. Fab onut cream pie

    Absolutely my favorite place for their breakfast sandwich. The first time I got an egg/ham/gruyere with dijon on one of their to-die-for english muffins, I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk because I was having a moment. I'm sure there are other things that are just as amazing there, but I can't get past that sandwich.

    I stopped here on the way to the Space Needle upon the recommendation of a cupcake. Unfortunately, they were out of cupcakes, so I resigned myself to a chocolate eclair (heart shaped in honor of Valentine's Day!). The eclair was quite delectable, but the bakery was very, very small. We had wanted to sit and enjoy our treats, but with nowhere to sit inside, and the rain outside, we were forced to carry them with us and enjoy them later. I would recommend planning on taking something to go, and going early if you want a cupcake!

  • Cindy T.

    *Featured on Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate Don't let this small and quaint bakery fool you because they have delicious baked goodies to back it up. On one single visit, we grabbed a whole bunch of desserts - coconut cream pie bites, chocolate truffle & gingersnap cookies, donuts and a mini pumpkin pie. All were super delicious and not overly sweet. I wished we had something like this back home in the bay area.

    When I first heard about this place, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was in for a wonderful surprise. Everything I ate was perfectly prepared. I started with an order of the pork verde soup, which was very hearty and had a tangy zest to it. The meat was so tender, I had never had anything like it before. The soup was thick enough to be a stew, and I could only imagine how good it would have tasted over a bed of rice. Yum yum. Since I was on a week long eating fest, I next ate the made to order doughnuts with two dips. These doughnut rectangles came out nice and warm covered in cinnamon sugar. I had a strawberry jam and a marscapone to dip them in. After I ran out of the doughnuts, the dips were so good, I used my finger as a dipping device. I agree, that is pretty gross, since I am a self-professed germ freak, but it was so good, I couldn't let it go to waste. I just couldn't help myself. As if that wasn't enough, I also bought a tiny coconut cream pie for later along with a box of chocolate chip cookies and crinkle cookies for a gift. The pie was eaten later that evening, and I ate every last morsel of it. The cream was fluffy and not too sweet. The crust was light, airy and a little crispy, just I like it. The toasted coconut was so good, I was picking up the little wisps off the bottom of the box when I was done. Not a big cookie fan, but these cookies, even a couple of days later, were very good. The chocolate chip cookie was delicate and had great chocolate flavor as did the chocolate crinkle cookies. I would definitely come back the next time I am in Seattle.

    I love stopping in here on my way to work for their amazing coconut creme pie, their breakfast sandwiches, or for their ever changing daily lunch sandwiches. The line can sometimes look a little scary when it's all the way out the door, but keep in mind that the inside space to the counter isn't very big. The line usually moves pretty fast.

  • Sin-Yaw W.

    The day-old cookie pack is definitely a great deal. I come here all the time for their cookies and artisan breads. When I found out the day-old packs, I was quite tempted, since I rarely finish the cookies on the same day anyway. Well, they are as good as the same day ones. If only it can be slightly cheaper...

    We ventured to the Dahlia bakery for a light breakfast before we went on our Savory Seattle Food Tour. My husband (ha ha- first time I wrote that out) had a delicious Roast Beef sandwich, and I had the english muffin with peanut butter and fresh jam- all organic and all delicious. Probably the best english muffin I've ever had. The shop was extremely busy, the ladies working there were very friendly too. My only negative was that it was quite a wait for my english muffin- close to 10 minutes- but in my opinion, it was worth it. Also loved that they had free water and coffee for those shopping there!

    I've often heard that Tom Douglas owns Seattle in the same way Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago, owns Chicago (brownie pts if you got that). His Dahlia Bakery is quite physically small and unassuming but has managed to attract a lot of attention in Seattle. In this store you will be hard pressed not to spend too much money with the awesome variety of baked goods they've managed to showcase. The sweet but not too sweet (a rarity!) coconut cream pie and chunky chocolate chip cookies rule!

  • Johnny W.

    While I was never a huge fan of how hit-or-miss Tom's restaurants were, his desserts and pastries never failed to please. As a result, Dahlia Bakery was one of the few stops I always made when someone from out of town was visiting. Just about everything I've ever tried here has been tasty, so, really, just get what catches your eye and tantalizes your tongue. Their coconut cream pie bites are famous (I believe you can actually get a slice too, if you ask), their berry tarts are excellent, their Mexican wedding cakes are tasty, and their doughnuts are simply amazing. Really, it's hard to go wrong here. I just wish prices were a tad lower (but it's a much better deal than getting the same thing inside one of his actual restaurants), and that the bakery wasn't so terribly small (wheelchair users, be warned - maneuvering inside when they're busy can be difficult).

    I knew I wanted to come here before we arrived in Seattle, having seen it featured on some Food Network show. OMG! So many wonderful options. I had the Peanut Butter Sandwich cookie, the Chocolate Butter Pecan cookie, and a tasty Coconut Cream Pie Bite!!! Part of me wishes there was one of these in my hometown, but part of me is just as glad there isn't. Don't think I could resist a daily trip!

    I have diabetes and I every treat I've ever eaten at Dahila Bakery was worth the shot of insulin. Pecan Pie & Pumpkin Pie - My first experience at Dahila was buying one of each for Christmas dinner 2012. When I went to pick them up the gal at the counter said, "Ohh you got the pecan. It's going to be a GOOD Christmas!" She wasn't lying. The pecan was LEGENDARY. An aunt brought a grocery store pecan pie to dinner and it collected dust and was untouched. Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup - WOW. Brought these back to the office for lunch. Everyone was chatting away sharing stories from the weekend. Soon as everyone started eating it was silent - that's how you know it's good. The sandwich had just the right amount of cheese to bread ratio and the perfect amount of crispyness. Yum. Peanut Butter Cookie - This isn't a regular cookie. It's layered. Kind of like a Nutter Butter, two cookies with creamy peanut butter in the middle. While the construction is like a Nutter Butter, the taste is NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE. Eat this cookie. It is a game changer. It costs $2.50 for one cookie - you get what you pay for. Every now and then it is totally worth it to throw down some hard earned money for a great meal. There are other bakeries and lunch spots that are cheaper and pretty good, but this is the type of spot that you brag about to your out of town friends. Pro Tip: Order and pay for your holiday baked goods online. They sell out of some items and this guarantees you won't be left high and dry.

    Busy mornings! Nice steady crowd! Grab yourself a caramel apple brioche or an onion and chive pastry on your way in to the office. The service was great, the people who work here were very friendly, and in my case I walked out with 20 pastries trying to impress the office for a team event this morning. The team was impressed. That's hard to do since our weekly team meetings have strong contenders to Dahlia Bakery being Le Panier, Three Sisters and Cafe Besalu a lot of the time. Impressed they were. Indeed a success!

    This is my favorite of the Tom Douglas establishments. His restaurants can be a little iffy, but he truly excels in baked goods. My favorites from here: - Chocolate butter pecan cookies. AMAZING. Best cookie ever and definitely one of my favorite foods. It's a scrumptious dollop of flavorful pecan butter between two glorious chocolate cookies with pecans. Words can't describe how tasty it is. - Chocolate truffle cookies. Normally I don't like truffle cookies since they're too heavy. These are extremely chocolatey and delicious, but not too heavy. - Beecher's cheese sandwich. Beecher's cheese is one of my favorite cheeses, and this sandwich is the perfect balance of cheese and bread. Goes excellently with the tomato soup. I've never ordered anything on the menu besides those because they are so good, but the rest of their cookies look scrumptious.

    We were visiting Seattle and wanted to find the best bakeries while we were here. Decided to try Dahlia Bakery since it received rave reviews and was in walking distance from our hotel. Yummy pastries, we tasted 5 different ones between the two of us. All were really good but I would say the fig bar and the chocolate banana bread are must-haves! It was nippy sitting outside in 37 degree weather since there is no inside seating but well worth it. You burn more calories when you're cold anyway, right?

    Everyone kept telling me to try Tom Douglas's famous coconut cream pie so I came to this little bakery with only one thing in mind - I was determined to try their coconut cream pie! But since it was so early in the morning (7:30am!) and I could not stomach a whole slice of pie, I was very glad that they offer the coconut cream pie bite - perfect size for me! The pie crust was crunchy, kind of like the "egg tarts" that are sold in Asian bakeries. The coconut shavings on top tasted like white chocolate (or were they white chocolate?). The custard that filled the crunchy crust was rich and creamy, but not overwhelmingly sweet! I am not a huge fan of coconut, but the amount of coconuttiness was just perfect, and I did not at all think I was eating coconut scented shampoo! I really liked the cream pie, because I love everything white and creamy, but this one is a must try here in Seattle!

  • Debby L.

    I've never been here, but I've had the bakery bring over a slice of their triple coconut creme pie to Serious Pie. It was the best coconut pie I've ever had. COCONUT CREME PIE: the best thing ever. The coconut is very light, and the whole pie is fluffy. Not too rich, and the cream is just insanely delicious. My cousin bought a whole pie and flew with it down to California. We had it for dessert, and 9 people polished off the whole thing. Amazing. See pic here: yelp.com/biz_photos/a9iL…

  • Kelvin C.

    Inconsistently good and expensive is the best way to describe this place. Here's the items ordered: 1) Egg and Ham Sandwich - The first time I had this, it was amazing. The english muffin was fluffy, ham was tasty and a bit salty, egg was cooked to perfection. This was all topped off with a slight glaze of horseradish aioli. It was so good that I HAD to order it again two days later. All I have to say is that it was similar to sloppy seconds...didn't quite live up to expectations and not good at all. The crust of the english muffin was soggy, egg was kinda burnt, and the aioli was slathered on like no other. Yeah...just like sloppy seconds. 2) Coconut Cream Pie Bite - Tasty ... but $2.75 for a single bite? Seattle must have some rich patrons. 3) Chocolate Eclair - Blew my mind. 4) Fried Donuts - Little fluffy donut holes that would make Homer Simpson proud. However, at $6 for a half dozen donut holes....ouch. If you're fine with paying a pretty penny, the baked goods here are pretty delicious. Also, the egg sandwich is a hit or miss. Hopefully you get a bullseye.

    After having the coconut pie at Lola, my boyfriend and I were craving more. We've been there twice to pick up some little treats. We've tried the Coconut Carrot Cake, Coconut Pie Bites, and Coconut Macaroon. The Coconut Carrot Cake was okay, but the real winners were the Coconut Pie Bites and the Coconut Macaroon. We love that there are tons of smaller options when we're craving something sweet, but not a huge cookie or cupcake or slice of cake. We'll probably be back many more times!

    Perfection. We had their coconut cream pie bites and their donuts. Oh. My. God. Their donuts. Pure perfection. So light and fluffy and sweet. And it tastes amazing with their whipped cream. Their donuts are so amazing, I can eat 2 bags of them all my myself! Hahaha... I'm not lying.

    Ok, after this i'm going to officially stop reviewing Tom D's restaurants as i figured them all out. It's entry level / lazy foodie food. His restaurants (and bakery) are upper middle of the road that are placed in places with high traffic. They prey on foodies who want good food while there at work or tourist who dont really feel like scouring yelp. I had his turkey sandwich. It's was good but it was also 10 bucks (1 dollar tip). Now while i thought it was good. It does not compare to other 10 dollar sandwiches i've had. But again, this is prolly the best sandwich i've had in this area. I think i would give most his restaurants AND this bakery perfect score if everything was like 25% less... Theres just something that wont sit right with you after eating his food. Try and pay for it yourself; you'll see.

    My mom took me here last week on our trip up to Seattle because its her favorite! Sure enough, I grew to love it as well!!!! The peanut butter cookies are AMAZING!! Perfect consistency and texture, and not dry at all!! We got a few of their other sweets and they were all equally as good!! We stopped into Dahlia's several times on our trip getting not only sweets but sandwiches as well. All the sandwiches we got were great but my favorite was the asparagus sandwich!! I would have given a 5 star review, but I was disappointed when I went in over the weekend for a sandwich and their options were even more limited than normal because it was the weekend. They only had two options, and my boyfriend couldn't eat either, causing us to have to go elsewhere for his meal. Overall I highly recommend this place, especially if you're in the mood for something sweet!

    If you are gluten free: Get the peanut butter cookie.. it's the $3 one in the bottom right corner. It's two peanut butter cookies with a nutella like cream in the middle.. ohhh myyyy gooooshhhhh worth every freakin penny. It is the BEST gluten free goodie. They also have a good number of other gluten free options- corn bread, macaroons, muffins..

  • Shane K.

    Like any good Seattle bakery they mixed high end fantastic baked goods with slightly high prices. The chocolate chunk cookies and croissants are amazing. My only gripe is that they don't serve espresso drinks. Yes there are several thousand coffee shops within walking distance and they do have drip coffee but when I pay $4 for a cookie I want it with a $7 latte! Excellent baked goods but it lacks the ambiance of a true French bakery/cafe.

    Dahlia is tops in my book. I win huge brownie points (heh heh) when I bring home chocolate truffle cookies. And holy fryboy batman, last time I learned that they make their donuts (really more like beignets) hot to go. I thought those were only available in the lounge for brunch. Next time...

    (5)

  • Kerry B.

    I normally love this place but I am disappointed that they have abruptly raised the to-go-sammys! the price is now an outrageous $8.50 for a smaller than 6" baguette with 2-3 ingredients...perhaps 4 if you could the spread. I won't be buying here anymore. I can get a better meal down the street at Veggie Grill.

  • Julia C.

    Dahlia Bakery is fab! It's tucked into a little nook and looks to get crowded during the AM rush hours. We stopped by around 9:30am for the donuts, coffee, and a breakfast sandwich. Sadly we couldn't take a coconut creme pie on our 9-hour trek home, or we'd have gotten one of those too! The donuts were FANTASTIC. Delicious, warm, and with little sauces on the side! So good! Also, I have no idea what's in the little dog cookies, but our pit LOVES them! She can't get enough! She keeps trying to sit and give hi-fives without the treats even in sight! Can't wait to come back the next time we're in Seattle!

  • Elizabeth R.

    I never got to eat at Dahlia Lounge during my stay in Seattle, but I was determined to at least experience Dahlia Bakery right next door. I stopped in one morning on my way to a conference session at the convention center, and OH MY was I happy I did. I ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich which came with egg, cheese, Bavarian Meats bacon, melty cheddar, and arugula on a squishy roll that was kind of like ciabbatta. This was the BEST breakfast sandwich I've ever had! There is no indoor seating and it was cold outside so I just stuffed it in my face as I was walking and didn't even care, it was that good. I also got a chocolate truffle cookie to go. I'm usually more of a chocolate chip person, but I had read so many yelp reviews about the chocolate truffle that I had to give it a go. I saved it for my afternoon pick-me-up. When I first bit into the edge of the cookie I didn't really see what the big deal was, but as I got closer to the center I figured out what all the fuss was about. This cookie really is like a chocolate truffle. The interior is gooey and creamy like it's very under-baked (in a really, really good way). I will have dreams about this cookie. Before I left for the airport a couple days later, I stopped in for a coconut cream pie bite since that pie is apparently their specialty. I thought it was good but the whipped cream to filling ratio was a little off. I would have liked less whipped cream. This bakery is FABULOUS, but I knocked off 1 star for a couple of things: 1) Super small and no indoor seating, which is a bummer when you have a hot breakfast sandwich just begging to be eaten right away, and 2) It looked like the only coffee option is a 12 oz. Starbucks drip. A little more variety, or at least another size, would be nice.

  • Joel R.

    I must have gotten the wrong stuff the first time around, because my second go at the Dahlia Bakery was far more rewarding. This time, I had a strange mix of goodies: the surprisingly excellent cafe-style sandwiches, my all-time favorite bran muffin, and the very good, if slightly too-sweet peanut butter cookie sandwiches. There was a small line there, but that's to be expected. Recommended.

    i really shouldn't be so attracted to pastries, but what's not to like? these confections are delicious, sugar-and-carb-worthy morsels of heaven that fell from god's hands straight into my mouth. amen. so why not 5 stars, you ask? because they were out of fig bars. that's really a testament to how popular they are but i'll happily try for them again.

    Sitting outside Dahlia enjoying delicious eats was my favorite memory from our Seattle vacation. We loved the bakery so much we returned twice during our three day stay. We had split pea soup, chocolate chip cookies, potato loaf and baguette on our first visit. On our second visit we had the roast turkey sandwich, apricot and oatmeal cookie and the peanut butter cookie. I swear the PB cookie is made by angels, it was so delicious we ran right back in and ordered more.

    Dahlia Bakery is a small, but very good bakery in downtown Seattle. It is of course next to Dahlia Lounge on 4th Avenue. And when I mean small, it is pretty petite. To walk in, you need to open the screen and front door. Hopefully, there is no one standing behind the door otherwise you might bang them. It is the kind of place where you are afraid to walk around in for fear of breaking something. I would say Dahlia probably ranks as my second favorite bakery in Seattle behind Macrina. I really like their muffins and scones which are moist and tasty. The breads here are excellent though pricey. Many of the items here are, but that is due to its quality. The one thing I have not tried but want to is the coconut cream pie that I hear so much about. I always seem to forget about this. I should try to get this specialty next time, especially since they offer it by the slice and bite. For the quality of the bake goods here and central location, I would recommend Dahlia for a sweet treat in Downtown Seattle.

  • Sam B.

    Fresh ingredients, good selection. Macaroons were delicious! A bit expensive for a bakery but the quality justified it for me. The downside is that the bakery is tiny, like 4 people were in line and it was "packed" and there is no seating inside and two tiny tables outside. When you are handed a fresh baguette and piping hot soup, and a cupcake, you do not want to take it home, you want to sit down and dig in!

  • Lolia S.

    Part of Tom Douglas's culinary empire, this tiny artisan bakery is crammed with tempting goodies. It's hard for more than a few people to fit inside at once. The variety of goods is overwhelming - foccacia, cookies, cupcakes, fig bars, apple dumplings, cakes, pies, éclairs, triple coconut cream pie (the house specialty available as bites, slices or the whole pie). Savory items (e.g., sandwiches, soups, salads) are also available. There isn't any place to sit. * Rhubarb cupcake ($2.95): creamy, rich, firm buttercream frosting, moist yellow cake, chopped tart rhubarb in the center, scrumptious * Caramel corn ($5.50): utterly decadent, buttery, and rich, coated with a ton of homemade caramel that sticks to your teeth, like candy with a hint of saltiness, not to be missed

    Came for the famous triple coconut cream pie, found myself walking out with a bag of beignets in hand as well.

    the chocolate truffle cookie--highly recommend it if you're here. The bakery seems to put a lot of pride in their coconut cream pies--I think they're...meh. I'm probably just not a cream pie fan, it just tastes like a lot of whipped cream to me, with a sprinkle of coconut flakes. I do recommend the lemon meringue pie though. I make these myself at home often and they do a good job here.

    This place is great, can't wait to try more! Have tried some cookies and bread. Cute, tiny spot with great selection and decent prices. There's always a ton of people going in and out.

    There is simply nothing served here that is not the best you will have anywhere. Pastries, bread, breakfast sandwiches, soup. It's all amazing. Buy the cookbook while you are there and you can re-create the tasty treats in the comfort of your own home!

    Cupcake Review = fail = no cupcakes, "come back around 11, we were too busy this morning." hmmm... I wasn't too busy after breakfast at Lola to consider spending more $ in Douglasland... sorry... it just didn't seem right to have the tags out on the empty cupcake tower. The cookies looked amazing and the muffins were unusual and well composed so we tried a sampling before continuing down the street to Yellow Leaf. Chocolate Chip Cookie - crisp with large chunks of chocolate Chocolate Cookie - brownie on the inside with a crisp thin crust on the outside Savory Brioche - Light airy bread portion with sweet figs, creamy chevre crumbles and thin strips of crispy bacon. Something had spice on it... both hubby and I had lightly burning lips, but we couldn't place a taste or an ingredient... it didn't distract... it did seem strange. Caramel Monkey Bread - Small segments of light sweet bread dough coated in cinnamon melded together and topped with cinnamon sugar crisp topping. The caramel sauce was the highlight of everything!!! They should bottle it... couldn't have been more creamy and complex! The food we tasted was 5 star... the service and availability on a holiday morning with the sidewalks and streets empty 0 stars.

    Oh yes the coconut cream pies, the coconut cream pies, the coconut cream pies! Regular sized or the tiny little mini ones... get a coconut cream pie! It's conveniently located (across from Lola, with the same owner, I believe) for a mid-morning pick-me-up baked goodness, or a nicely crafted sandwich with fresh french bread for lunch. I enjoying visiting this cute bakery when I am in Seattle.

    The best thing about a trip to Dahlia Bakery is knowing I'll never be disappointed. Well, unless I start thinking about the caloric intake I'm about to indulge in. Made to order donuts: OH EM GEE. Why did it take me so freaking long to try these?!!! It was about a 5 minute wait and is absolutely worth it. I opened my bag to find 6 squares of donuts lightly tossed in cinnamon & sugar. The mascarpone and strawberry jam were the perfect accompaniments to the fluffy pillows of sin. I shared one with my husband and greedily ate the rest by myself. Don't worry, he was happily munching on a giant fig bar. I also have to rave about Tom's famous triple coconut cream pie. Hands down one of my all time favorite desserts. The coconut flavor is rich but not overpowering and the pie filling has a good consistency. Attention to details are not overlooked with this pie; lightly toasted coconut shavings and white chocolate shavings top this delectable creation. Dahlia Bakery is no bueno for my wallet and waist.

    I don't know when it started, but I have loved breakfast sandwiches as long as I can remember. There's just something about having that melted cheese over an egg and sausage/ham/bacon that takes me to a good place. When they got those molds at McDonalds that cooked the eggs into a perfectly round disc, I thought that was ingenious. And to have all the best parts of breakfast neatly packaged in a croissant, baguette, english muffin, or tortilla (I know, not a sandwich)... well, just hurry up and give it here. When I saw the breakfast sandwich offered at Dahlia Bakery, who was I to resist? We got the ham and egg sandwich. When it was brought out to our table, it was piping hot and served between a nice, big english muffin. Although I would have preferred the muffin to have been toasted just a slight bit longer, it didn't take away from the fantastic flavor of the sandwich. The ham was thinly sliced, cooked but still juicy, and had great flavor. The fried egg was cooked over medium, so you weren't dealing with runny yolk all over the place and the cheddar cheese held the whole thing together. I really enjoyed the dijon mustard, which gave the sandwich a bit of a punch with each bite. We also decided to order the freshly fried mini donuts made to order, served with mascarpone and fresh jelly. Not really what I typically consider a donut, but it's dough, and it's fried. More like a beignet, IMO. You get 6 small pillows of fried dough, very airy on the inside, covered with granulated sugar. The mascarpone and the compote were fantastic. I easily could have eaten a few dozen of these things.

    I fell in love with a doughnut here. Little balls of heaven, made to order. Yes, it's a little pricey, at more than $1 a doughnut ball. However, it's definitely special and different from anything I've ever tasted. Hot and fresh out of the deep fryer, these doughnuts are tossed and shaken around in a bag of cinnamon and sugar. Each order comes with a side of marzipan and strawberry jam. The marzipan adds a richness to the doughnut, while the strawberry jam creates a cool effect against the hot dough. It is definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

    I am having a difficult time to think of other bakeries to review simply because once you have Dahlia Bakery, you tend to forget about any other bakery on the planet. My god... the triple coconut cream pie... it's just so.. so.. beautiful. It's like Mary Poppins. It's practically perfect in every way. It has most definitely earned its spot on the Seattle Foodie 100 list! Now I get that some people just don't like coconut. That's fine. But you can still get other things in this bakery that will still give you that cooking show O-face (except this time it would be genuine). If you see something that looks tasty and appealing to your senses, get it. I'd almost guarantee that it will live up to every fan-tasty filled thought you would have about it. Plus this bakery is 1/3 of the leg in the Bermseada triangle of my biggest weak points: gourmet pizza at Serious Pie, crab cakes and cocktails at Dahlia Lounge, and the triple coconut cream pie here. Oh, Tom. You complete me. It's dangerous territory. You've been warned. Even so, it's worth the venture. My significant other drove 4 hours to Seattle to buy me a whole pie for my birthday last year. His sacrifice was greatly appreciated, and I did not let one single crumb of that pie go to waste.

    Only had the chocolate chip cookie and made to order donuts. The cookie was good but nothing special. The donuts on the other hand were awesome. The only thing bad about them was there was only six of them and there are bite size. They come with a fruit dipping sauce and a sweet cream dipping sauce. If you like donuts, try these. You won't regret it.

  • Dana M.

    I really wanted to like this place. I've been here twice; once to try the coconut creme pie, (I thought it was okay but LOVED their chocolate truffle cookie. ) and today to try their chocolate truffle once again and their chocolate chunk cookie...i didn't think either was great. I like Fred myers coconut macaroons better and safeways chocolate cookie.

    Cute, cozy, delicious! This chef knows his baking recipes! I loved their chocolate chip cookie and apple, caramel with mascarpone dessert. I hear their coconut cream pie is the real killer!

  • Bridgette E.

    The $6 donuts here are pricey (which means $1/donut), but as the waitstaff will tell you, the experience will change your life. 6 of these little divine morsels come snuggled together a paper bag filled with cinnamon sugar, a cup of strawberry jam, and a cup of a light whipped frosting. The frosting and jam are tasty enough to compete with the fluffy donuts, but not so sweet as to overshadow the cinnamon-sugar-crack-cocaine layer. Delightful. Delightful. Delightful.

    (5)

  • Grace Y.

    Wow. I don't even like macaroons normally, but wow. Super buttery and the texture is amazing. Perfect balance of crispiness and buttery smoothness. Also, had the chocolate chunk cookie and the ham & cheese croissant and everything was up to par. Winning!

    Tom Douglas, Please make your bakers wear hair nets. I ordered a coco bite of the triple coconut cream pie and there was a brown hair in it. It was long. It was gross. I really wanted to try it so I just exchanged it. The girl who exchanged it for me acted like it was my fault that I found a hair in it. She even slammed her little delivery door on me. Anyways, on to the triple coconut cream pie. I think I would have enjoyed the actual pie as there was too much crust to enjoy the filling. The filling itself may have been good but all I remember is the crust.

    Whether I want to or not, when passing by the Dahlia Bakery when it's open (sadly I'm usually passing by when it's closed), my legs take me on a detour inside. Here you can get delicious cookies, pastries, breads, even the pita and spreads from Lola! You can get tiny coconut cream pie bites, sourdough bread, chocolate pecan cookies with cream filling... mmm, delicious! It's all good, you can't go wrong in here. Pick up a punch card to get a free loaf of bread while you're here, too.

  • Jenny A.

    Can anyone say Coconut Cream Pie??? Coconut cream pie!!!! I was told to come here for the best coconut cream pie, and it is certainly delicious. I loved that they had the miniature ones so you could have the pie and not feel guilty. The Oatmeal cookie with apricots inside was also devineee. I'm a huge fan of oatmeal raisin cookies and this one was hugeeeeee and chewyyyy, and sooo scrumptious. Not to mention this place shares a corner with Serious Pie. So right after you indulge in some pie, walk right around the corner and get dessert!!!!!

  • Diana I.

    They have the most amazing fresh made-to-order donuts here! It's the same ones you can get at Lola across the street that Giada raves about on Food Network but it's cheaper at the bakery! AHHH sooo gooood!! I tried their old fashioned ginger snap cookie which was AMAZING. It was thin and chewy and tasted like Christmas. One of the best cookies I've ever had for reals! I also tried their chocolate truffle cookie that everyone seems to be raving about but I didn't like it too much. I couldn't take more than a couple bites because it was too rich for me. My friends and I also shared their baby coconut cream pie. The tiny thing was $19!! Reallyyy expensive for a tiny mini pie! We expected something amazing after having spent so much for it but honestly, I didn't think it was THAT great. It tasted pretty much like your average coconut cream pie. I wish there was more custard + crust + coconut shavings and less whipped cream on top.

    I read the reviews about the awesome $6 donuts. I figured I would try them out. Blah! First off they were literally a bite. Extremely small!! The strawberry jam was pretty good but I wasn't impressed with the whipped stuff that came with it. Not enough sweetness to me. I paid half the price for a dozen of the awesome donuts from the place in Pike Place Market and they were hot, fresh, and tasty. This place was just a disappointment. We happened to come in for happy hour so I wanted to try the coconut cream pie bite since it was $1.50 each. Not bad, I'll admit those were pretty good, which is why this place even got one star. On to the cupcakes. From the case they are so beautiful you don't want to eat them. Price was $2.95 each, so I figured they should be pretty good. It had the texture of cornbread. I've never had such a dense disgusting cupcake in my life. It was heavy and just flavorless. I almost wanted to try the cookies since I saw lots of reviews about how great they are but I'm glad I didn't waste my money. This place is pricey and so not worth it.

    i have heard so much about dahlia bakery throughout the years and were excited about the experience. i ordered coconut cream pie - REALLY coconuty and just right amount of crunch and creaminess. definitely lives up to the reputation fig bar - imagine the best fig newton ever that is oozing with delicious fig filling peanut butter cookie - too sweet! does not compare to bouchon beignets - crispy and light, the most delicious item on the menu! came with homemade jam and whipped butter. like heaven in a bite. bacon egg sandwich - solid breakfast item! overall, very impressed with the items, will come back for more!

    Stopped by here for a lil' breakfast sweetness :) Had the Made To Order Doughnuts with the vanilla mascarpone and fresh strawberry jam. OMG, these were AMAZING!!!!! So light and fresh. If I lived here, I'd probably gain 20 pounds from eating these doughnuts every day. The mascarpone had real vanilla beans in it and the jam tasted so fresh. Anybody who comes to Seattle needs to try these!!!! Also had the triple coconut cream pie. It was good, not overpowered with coconut or sweetness. The only disappointment was that they serve Starbucks coffee. Wish they had their own brew.

  • Robert C.

    I really cannot express how much I like the bakery, We stay across the street @ the Warwick generally and it is just too handy, the breakfast sandwiches are good, the lunch sandwiches are simple and packed with flavor and the daily soups (I usually get the tomato) are consistently tasty. The sweet side is good as well but most of what we get is the day old cookies, as the value is good and so are the cookies.

    (5)

  • Rachel P.

    We stopped by and got some bread to take home. BF got some cookies but really I was tempted to get "1 of everything!" It's a small place but big on everything. (Prices were ok). I was intrigued by the containers of Lola's sauces and stuff's. I will be back. Parking out front is not too difficult but there are plenty of side lots for quick stops.

    Sangria Cherry with Cream Cheese Tart - The name definitely sounds better than it tastes. The tart remind me of a very rich cheese like goat cheese or something. I couldn't quite place the flavor. Coconut Cream pie bite - Light and heavenly. Loved the coconut bits. Almost as good as Tartine Bakery in SF. They don't advertise it but you can get a whole slice of coconut cream pie for $6.50. Just ask =P I learned after I got my bite but it's a good thing that I don't OD on sweets just yet. =P

    I think it goes without saying that this is one of the best bakeries in the city, but what I love just as much is the staff. Morning after morning, no matter how busy or what time it is - these girls/guys are so genuinely sweet, and funny! Always look forward to my morning walk here. :)

    Found it by chance walking to a museum while visiting Seattle. We each ate a mini triple coconut custard pie- heavenly - while waiting for b-fast. I wanted to skip breakfast and have another mini pie but spouse gave me "the look". They are on the shady side of the street so bring a sweater if you are going to eat there outside - the wind was a bit nippy in the shade.

  • Jennie C.

    I love how they sell smaller sizes of their coconut cream pies - definitely a rich dessert that's better in small bites. I loved the coconut cream pie bite. Also they sell their day-old cookies in a bag for a cheaper price; this is a great way to sample all the cookies. Just microwave it for a few seconds at home to soften it up. I was able to try the chocolate chip cookie which was one of the best I've had in a while. The chocolate is so darn creamy and the cookie wasn't too greasy and grainy.

    I could eat their coconut cream pies for days. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, so prior to our hike to Mt Rainer during my visit, my best friend knew exaaactly where to take us for bfast. AMAZING. I quite honestly could've bought out all of the baked goods in the small shop if I couldve. And I really tried. Their baked goodies were traditional and very well executed. They maintain a great variety while also reaching the highest quality. It is very small, so you have to pick carefully as to what you want to take to-go. However, I do have a list in mind of everything I'd take later. Here's what we got: - Coconut cream pies (mini) - Macaroons - Egg Sandwiches (AMAZING with english muffins, asparagus, cheese and poached egg. simple yet delicious. one of the best) - fresh donuts (i'll let you read the other yelp reviews to really understand how amazing they are) - variety of freshly baked cookies Overall, AMAZING and I plan to make it my very first stop when I come back to Seattle again soon.

    Hello newest obsession. This has become my new favorite place for lunch! For $6.95, I get a mound of oven-roasted turkey on a soft, fresh onion kaiser roll with provolone, lettuce, pickles and dijon and for an additional 60cents, I get dessert in the form of a Russian tea cookie that melts in my mouth. I also just learned that for breakfast, I can come here and get those fresh donuts that I loved at Lola with the mascarpone and fresh jam! AND if you check out their Twitter @tdrbakery, they have happy hour deals with 25% off different items from 4-6pm.

  • Jean Y.

    I won't vouch for anything else, but the donuts are SO GOOD. Hot fluffy fried sugary goodness at only $6 for 6. Passing by on a rainy day, stopping in for donuts, and finishing them off on the sidewalk (while taking care that the powdered sugar falls onto the ground rather than your clothes), and contemplating going back in for a 2nd bag makes the rain a bit more tolerable. Don't bother eating at a Tom Douglas restaurant where the food is mediocre and overpriced. Just grab the donuts from Dahlia Bakery, where they cost a dollar or two less.

  • Allie D.

    Their coconut cream pies in a bite size is the best thing that's happened! It's just the right amount of sweetness and the coconut shavings on top are delightful! I wish I could've brought some back to the Bay, but the whipped cream wouldn't have lasted in the heat =(. I want to definitely try all their desserts next time!

  • Frankie O.

    Dahlia Bakery is much more than your average bakery, being that they make incredible Breakfast Sandwiches!!! Served on an incredibly light, yet chewy, house made english muffin is seasonal breakfast meat, such as smoked ham or sausage, maybe some mustard and definitely melted cheese. If you're not in the mood for a savory bite, go for the bag of donuts! Fresh beignets tossed in cinnamon sugar and served warm with vanilla bean whipped cream and seasonal jam. ***I just wish one thing!: that they were served with vanilla anglaise, as opposed to the whipped cream. I just imagine that this would take it truly to the next level. NOTE: no espresso here, just coffee and tea the only seating is outside (2 small tables), and there will probably be a line to get inside and order

  • YB C.

    Maple Eclairs! I generally enjoy all of their sweets (and savory stuff too) but I wanted to specifically call out the maple eclairs. The woman behind the counter mentioned that they were her "favorite" and sometimes you don't really give those endorsements much weight but this time, it had to be the truth - they are delightful and I very nearly went right back in there to buy more after eating it. (OK, so I've gone back to get a few more since the first time - who's counting). I should have snapped a picture, but they basically look like a maple bar and an eclair had a baby. And they taste like, well, like a maple bar and and a delicious Dahlia eclair had a baby! I was informed that they are a seasonal treat so you need to go try one ASAP.

  • Holly A.

    The traditional rolls and the pecan rolls are to die for, and by those alone this is the best bakery in the area. Everything looks great, but some of it is way too expensive for me. There isn't any way to bake rolls like theirs in a home oven, so they are worth buying. For just about everything else though, I'll stick with home made cookies and cakes. For a special food gift though, this is an excellent option.

    (5)

  • Henry S.

    What can I say... They do everything to perfection. Amazing selections include: - Toasted pecan flax seed whole wheat - Buttermilk biscuit & house made jam - Triple coconut cream pie - Oatmeal apricot cookie - Granola - Ham Egg Sandwich (breakfast item) - Famous donuts (breakfast item) - Day old baked goods (3 for $3) Things these good make me come back for more.

  • Veronica S.

    This place is so adorable...they have tons of yummy treats. Although I think the cupcakes are priced right, the cookies are a little on the pricy end. I was a little disappointed with my gingerbread cookie..Really overly crunchy/crispy but the flavor was good. Definitely hope I can come here again in the future and order some of the cupcakes and other soft treats!

    My friend and I walked here after hearing that this place serves the best slice of coconut cream pie. It was busy when we got there and the hostesses were so nice to let us sit in the corner of the bar and let us order our pie from there instead of waiting on a table. We only wanted that pie and it was so damn good!!! Coconut Cream Pie. Get some.

    Dahlia is not for the claustrophobic. But. . .wow. . .they make their own english muffins. For four bucks, you get one of these with PB&J. It might not sound like much, but at Dahlia Bakery, this is all you need to know. I went back the next day, and continue to dream about this combination. Great service: The first morning I was there, I had to wait a long time for my order. Not like they messed up my order, there weren't people who ordered after me getting their food, but I definitely had to wait longer than I should have. So, my order finally comes out (I'm quietly fuming, hungry, thinking I'm going to tear them down a bit on Yelp) and the very nice person working there asks "what is your favorite kind of cookie?" Well played, Dahlia, this is how you go from a 2/3 star review to a repeat visit the next day and an easy five stars. I wish I lived in Seattle, for a lot of reasons, but prominent on that list is the PB&J English Muffin at Dahlia Bakery.

    I had walked by this bakery several times during my visit to Seattle and each time my mouth watered just a lil. So I finally managed to stop by real quick before my flight home. Tried their beignets/doughnuts. They were light, fluffy and came with marscapone and jam to dip in. Yummy. I would go back to try their bite sized coconut creme pies and cookies.

  • Jordan F.

    Everything is so delicious! I absolutely love their peanut butter cookies; two cookies with delicious peanut butter in between the two! Their roasted turkey sandwhich and seafood bisque is some of the best lunch-time food I've had in awhile. So lucky they are right down the street from my work!

    I've always known that if I were to enter the witness protection program, I would live my new life as a taller, more asian, more masculine, Giada de Laurentiis - assuming Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri were already taken. Until that day comes, I can at least eat like Giada by enjoying the amazing made-to-order doughnuts here, which were featured by her on one of Food Network's "Nighttime" programs (insert adult-content themed joke here). Puffy and light, these warm golden pillows of mouth joy are not at all greasy or heavy like doughnuts can be. And the dusting of cinnamon sugar was just enough to make things pop. The two dipping sauces we received - vanilla marscapone and apple butter - were both seasonally appropriate, and utterly delightful (especially when the leftover sauce was slathered on french toast the next morning...). I had to take away a star b/c the other items we got were all extremely lackluster and underwhelming. The carmel corn "cupcake" was a cornbread muffin with a slick of mysteriously greasy, unpleasantly salty frosting on top. I was looking for some chili to wash this down with. And the coconut pie bites, though beautiful, were surprisingly lacking flavor and punch despite its richness. Overall, I can see why the doughnuts, and nothing else, were featured by Giada. They're really the only things worth risking my new identity for...

    Amazing hot cereal with dried fruits and nuts. Best breakfast on a cold drizzly morning. Only two seats inside the bakery but if it's nice weather, the seats outside work. And such a nice friendly group of people working behind the counter - yay for morning spots that brighten your day, and at 8am!

    I decided "I need a treat!" so I drove through maddening Mariner's traffic from the Eastside via I-90 and then I-5 to get to this place by 7pm on Friday. I must have racked up some serious parking karma; I was able to find a parking spot right in front of Dahlia Lounge and walk right into the bakery before it closed. My heart had been set on their famous triple coconut cream pie, but the question I had to ask myself was "which size?" A dainty coco bite, a slice, or baby pie? (Well, 9 inch big pie would have been total overkill...) I decided to go with a slice. Once I sealed the deal, my eyes started wandering around the rest of the bakery. Oh there was sooo much to see! Rustic breads, cookies, more pies, and cakes... How would anyone expect a girl who basically has a full set of sweet teeth in her mouth to get just one thing from this bakery? I gave in and got a sour cherry swirl. It is small and cute, and I don't think it is going to do much damage to my figure. If you are a coconut person (like me), this cream pie was sinfully delectable!! It has toasted coconut, airy whipped cream, and creamy coconut custard in a beautifully baked pie shell. I was very impressed by the pie shell!! It was crispy, flaky, and not soggy at all. I'm saving the swirl for tomorrow. Woo!

    "Can seagulls eat chocolate pudding?" I texted a friend As I enjoyed my cup of Gianduja Budino (with hazelnuts) while sitting on a bench near Eliott Bay, an inquisitive seagull curious to know what I was enjoying made thoughtful eye contact with me. Even though they are known as rats with wings, I was pretty sure I had read once that dogs and birds shouldn't be fed chocolate. The seagull cleared its throat softly, as if to say: ahem, please fulfill your civic responsibilities. Don't you see that I am cute, and so you need to fawn all over me? I smiled and searched inside my doggy bag to find something for it. My fingers came across the peanut butter cookie, which reminded me of the Nutter Butter at Bouchon Bakery, except that this was not crispy and was much smaller. I offered a small piece to the seagull which tilted its head and observed it intently for a second, before getting to work on it. Soon, it was gone and the seagull stared again in my direction, nodding slightly: Gimme more cookie! So, there we were: man and sea gull enjoying the creations of Dahlia bakery, staring ahead at the wide expanse of water on a pleasant late summer afternoon. Once I was done with the Budino, and the seagull did its best to guilt me into giving it some, I moved on to the chocolate butter pecan cookie, which had the right texture of being crisp and chewy at the same time. Dahlia Bakery is arguably the best bakery in Seattle. And, I was fortunate to try almost all the noteworthy ones in a recent trip. While I walked in to sample the "Best Coconut Cream Pie in the World", an aversion to too much whipped cream ensured that I did not agree with the majority vote. Much like someone who goes to a convenience store for beer and buys a winning lottery ticket, I lucked out by getting the Rumball chocolate tart with milk chocolate ganache. This, I was told, has been recently introduced at Dahlia, and would have to be their standout pastry (even more so than the awesome donuts!), with the interplay of chocolate and orange. Chocolate does appear to be Dahlia's strength for they also have a standout cookie: the chocolate truffle cookie, which would match somewhat similar best-in-class versions at Petrossian, Baked and Jacques Torres in NYC. However, what annoyed me about Dahlia was the inability to try out their croissants, which have been rated by many magazines and travel guides as the best in Seattle. I had woken up early morning just to get some, but was told by the server that someone had bought all of them. At 8 am? Damn you, mysterious early bird who got (I hope) the worm... curses! Or, maybe it was just Karma paying me back for denying the seagull the chocolate pudding she had her heart set on. As they say: Karma's a bitch - so, she's likely upset that she's been cheated out of any chocolate ;-)

    A friend from Texas with a major sweet tooth came to visit for a long weekend not long ago. After trying many bakeries around the city and getting feedback of mediocrity, I decided it was time to take her to Dahlia. I'm so glad I did. She tried her very first eclair and a variety of cookies -- all wonderful (I was able to taste what she was willing to share!) -- and declared it to be the best in the city. The chocolate truffle cookies were also amazing. Definitely worth the small wait we had getting to the counter at lunch time.

  • Marilyn T.

    Dahlia Bakery is a great place to stop by for breakfast pastries or lunch to go. They have daily specials for soups, sandwiches (one meat, one vegetarian), salads to go, pies, granola, cookies (check the boards or call ahead for the specials). They also have lots of flourless options for those that prefer gluten free (flourless corn bread!) If you want a sweet bite, try the coconut cream pie bites - small enough so you're not overcome with sweetness, just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. They also do custom cakes that can be pre-ordered. Oatmeal apricot and chocolate truffle are must haves for the cookies. Another highlight - you can get Lola's donuts fried to order! Prices are pretty standard for high end bakeries, and they have lots of gift options, too (spice rubs, snack mixes, mini cookies, popcorn, rice crispy treats - all packages up nicely.) BEST of all, FIVE STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Our wait for the donuts was on the longer side, and not only were they very apologetic, they even refunded us! Gotta support friendly places with sweets to brighten your day!

    So the only reason I found out about this place was because a menu was stuck in my bill at Lola and bakeries are my weaknesses! Of course it being so close to Lola I had to hop across the street after lunch to check it out. This place has its own cafe so to speak but the bakery portion of it is extremely tiny! You will be hard pressed to fit maybe five people in there at once. They also serve some of their hot food in this section to go. With such a small space, you would be surprised at how much goodness is packed on the tiny shelves of barely any length. They have these amazing "Cupcakes" that are topped with a sweet pumpkin butter cream which are actually CORN BREAD underneath but in cupcake format so it is dense but moist and so delicious. I think my mouth was having a corn bread orgasmic experience! I don't know that I've ever had breads / baked goods that tasted so good with such authentic oomf! Mmmm definitely worth a visit.

    Tom does it again!!! Fabulous treats in the cutest little bakery (and they have great tunes playin!) I skipped the coconut cream pie, only beacause I had it at Palace Kitchen, and is the best ever! So this time I had the breakfast sandwich on my way out of town, Fried egg, bacon, cheddar and arugala on an english muffin. Oh sooo good! The bacon is cut nice and thick- not that wimpy crispy crap! Then I grabbed some goodies to take back home.... the chocolate crinkle cookies are a hit, if you need that pick-me-up- chocolate fix, then get these! also had the pumpkin whoopie pie, very tasty- not to sweet. The croissants..my oh my, buttery flaky delishesness! Also had a mini pumpkin pie...tasty, great crust, but it is heavily spiced, not enough pumpkin flavor for my liking, but still yummy.

    You guys! You have to have an éclair from here for many reasons. It's truly one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. The perfect amount of chocolate on top, you could see the vanilla bean in the cream, Lord have mercy! I swear the thing weighed like 10 pounds. Sweet perfection.

    This review is for their breakfast sandwiches which are outstanding. The stand-out one for me is the Ham, Cheese, Fried Egg & Dijon sandwich. What makes their breakfast egg sandwiches outstanding? 1. House-made English muffin: Large, soft and fresh. Nothing like your standard supermarket purchase. 2. Fried Egg: It's just that. A real, fried egg, that was cracked over the skillet. None of that weird pre-mixed egg concotion that ends up looking like a giant yellow blob. It's the real deal at Dahlia. 3. Bacon (on the bacon egg sandwich) is not too salty, on the thicker/meatier side and CRISPY. What I had to take one-star away for? The coffee. It's not terrible, but it's Starbucks. I don't know about you but I think there is far better coffee that can be served.

    This place brings it, big time! We lived in corporate housing for two months just down the road, and we were at Dahlia at least four times a week. Thier breakfast muffins are unspeakably good and the pastries (any of them) are mouthwatering. Go there, eat, and enjoy!

    I love the flavors here and you can't miss the happy hours they have here. I have over indulged on $1 coconut pie happy hour too much. The normal prices here may be a little excessive but the flavors are worth it if you have a few extra bucks.

    With rotating warm and chilled sandwiches, soup, and a bevy of pastries, there is a lot to like about Dahlia Bakery. I've only ever received excellent customer service and their food always tastes good. If I had a magic wand, I would make Dahlia Bakery a little bit bigger with some seating. This isn't a dine-in establishment, but it'd be nice if there was somewhere indoors to sit and wait for your food. Dahlia Bakery also serves breakfast, but they stop at 10:30am and I've never made it in time, though a Dahlia breakfast is on my list of things to try!

    I have been here twice. It gets especially crowded during lunch so be forewarned! Their bread is amazing. Their soup is okay and I love their sandwiches....today I grabbed a mixed green salad with steak (no chicken avail today). The steak had been cooked in some sort of heavy grease and the steak just did not taste at all what it should have. I threw it out. I ate the salad and the roll. The roll was super yummy. I was disappointed about the salad esp since i paid over $10 for it. ugh... So all in all..i ll be back for the bread and sandwiches..and to try some desserts..but a no-go on the salads..

    Must Haves: 1. Coconut Cream Pie 2. Cherry Swirl 3. Granny Smith Apple Dumping There is something oh so very comforting about the bakery selection at Tom Douglas's Dahlia Bakery. Every item seems to satisfy that "afternoon pick me up." After a long day of shopping or a tiring day in the office, the next best thing to your happy hour martini is a pastry from this petite store. I have ordered several pies for family gatherings and dinner parties in the past, each as perfect as can be. I highly recommend this establishment. Tom Douglas's Dahlia Bakery receives my "FAB STAMP".

    My friend is absolutely in love with the the fresh-made donuts that Giada raved about on Food Network so after Lola, we walked across the street so she can grab some to go, and guess what? It is $2 cheaper than having it at the restaurants haha. Dahlia Bakery is small, with a good selection of artisan bread, cupcakes, pastries, pies, and cakes. There's also sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. They definitely take pride in the baked goods cause every items is made sure to be up to their standards. While selecting my coconut cream pie bite, the person helping me saw a flaw in one of them and immediately took it out so they won't sell it to others. The coconut cream pie, either the pie or the bites, is delicious. The crust and the toasted coconut shavings are the best part. As for the prices? Definitely up there. You definitely have to be willing to shelf out some moolah if you want to buy a whole cake or pie but I think it is money well spent.

  • Kevin C.

    2 words - Breakfast Sandwich! Hands down THE best, I think it's the English muffin.... It's definitely not store bought, I'd love to have a stash of these in my pantry. Don't forget to also pick a bag or two of the beignets.

    There are more than enough raving reviews on this great bakery, but not enough said on their coconut macaroons. The first time I tried them was at The Moore Theatre, and even 4 years back, it was a piece of heaven on top of heaven. As previously described, it's so light, airy, but still full of coconutty flavor. The light, crunchy texture reminds me of meringue. I'm not a fan of the ooey, gooey, coconut insides that are over sweetened and mucky in your mouth. If that's what you like, don't buy these...that means there will be more for those that are trying to buy them. My friend and I were able to buy one fresh one and a couple "day olds." And heeey, the day old's are still absolutely delicious! I was able to try almost half of the cookies that I wanted to try (oatmeal apricot, chocolate truffle, coconut shortbreads, etc.). Yes, that means I ate cookies for dinner, breakfast and then some. I spent $20 on a dozen cookies. My motto is, "Hey, I don't know when I'll be back, so gotta try everything I want to try."

    Their sign says they do made-to-order sandwiches; they don't. There is also no indoor seating, and the outdoor seating isn't pleasant. Fine if you're just running in and out and not picky.

    Everyone talks about the banana nut cream pie and it was good, but to me the macaroons were way better.

    Stopped in here on a rainy afternoon. The bakery is small inside- as in there were about three people in line and it felt very cramped. However, I think that added to the overall charm. You can see the chefs in the back preparing delicious looking food, which also helps to pass the time in line if the person in front of you is picking up five pies :) On to the baked goods! I just wanted a sweet little bite for later. I went around 2 on a Thursday, and their selection wasn't the best (but by far not the worst I've ever seen!). I picked out a red velvet cheesecake bar for myself, and a sour cherry swirl cookie for the boyfriend. They had several other delectable treats, but I didn't want to tempt myself. I saved my cheesecake until later that night and OH MY GOD it was some of the best cheesecake. It was dense, and soooo creamy, and you could taste the layers of cream and vanilla and chocolate that went into it. The crust was delicious as well, and the candied pecans on top were mouthwatering. Honestly, it was some of the best cheesecake I have ever had, and I am a bit of a cheesecake snob. The boyfriend reviewed the cookie as "eh, it's okay but Safeway makes better ones" so I am thinking cookies might not be their specialties. Stick with the pies and cakes, people! Oh and they are somewhat pricey. The total for the cheesecake, which was about a 2x2 bar, and the cookie was just under $10. Definitely a special treat kind of place.

    My loverman and I came here while we were waiting to be seated at Serious Pie. It reminded me a lot of Tartine Bakery in SF but way cheaper and not as good. There were a lot of things that sounded amazing but weren't available anymore. I ended up getting the Summer Eclair while he got the Savory Brioche. I was surprised at how cheap everything was. The Summer Eclair was pretty good. I didn't try the Savory Brioche because there was meat on it but he said he loved the cheese part, unfortunately right after he said that, the rest of the cheese fell to the ground. Haha. We were also lucky enough to find seats outside of the bakery. I hated how small it was inside and whoever decided to make their inner door open towards the store is an idiot.

    I wanted to try the "Made to Order Donuts" at Lola (which is owned by the same chef as Dahlia's bakery) and featured in the Food Network show "Best Thing I ever ate", but didn't feel like sitting down. So we came here. It's right across the street. They have the same donuts. $6 for 6 bite size donuts, comes with macaron cheese and home-made jam for dipping. And omg, it was so gooooooood! The donuts were fresh and hot, covered in cinnamon sugar and the jam (peach or some kind of berry with real fruit chunks) was so yummy. It's definitely the best donuts I've ever had. Their breakfast sandwich (bacon egg, with spinach on a english muffin) was also really good. I was surprised because it didn't look at all special to me. Their Coconut creme pie (their famous item) was actually just so so. Maybe because I'm not a coconut person. I don't like the texture of coconut flakes in my mouth. But to make up for it, their RUSSIAN TEA CAKE was really good and only $1 each. I didn't even know what Russian tea cake was before. It's sort of like a cross between a scone and a cookie with finely grind nuts mixed in. Overall, this little 30 sq feet store was actually one of the highlights of our trip in Seattle. =)

    Dahlia's has one of the best coconut cream pies I have ever tasted! The coconut flavor is not too overwhelming and too sweet and the crust is not too flaky. Perfection. The price for the pie is a bit pricy. From what I remember the mini coconut bites were 2-4 dollars but worth the extra dollar. They have other goodies there as well such as brioche, cookies, truffles, and sandwiches which are also very tasty but it's the coconut pies that make me keeping coming back!

  • Tobbe M.

    Super nice staff & a delicious eclair! I bought the gentleman ahead of me his cookie, as a thank you for the kindness he showed me on the street. Perhaps this was part of why the staff so kindly gifted me a mini one-bite coconut cream pie when I was saying how yummy they looked before I left. Either way, their kindness made my day - & so did the yumminess of their fare! Light creams, & the clearly fresh ingredients (real vanilla bean in the eclair cream, chunky coconut shavings atop the pie), & smiling employees made this place a stand-out for me.

  • Rachel J.

    First of all, I'm not really a dessert person. ::Waiting for hate mail:: BUT, I do enjoy a sweet treat every now and then. I tried this place a couple of years ago on a food tour and loved it. Two years later, I'm back! I recommend the coconut cream pie, chocolate butter pecan cookie and peanut butter cookie with whipped filling? Walk here, though. You'll need the exercise to prevent a sugar-coma!

    I am a fiend for anything and everything Tom Douglas. I live in Belltown. I have 6 tom douglas establishments within a 3 minute walking distance from me. Here are the top 3 items you must get here. 1. The Famous Donuts: I call them puffs of heaven. They aren't greasy, covered in some delicious cinnamony sugar (HOW IS IT SO GOOD, ITS JUST SUGAR), and the mascarpone cream dip thing with seasonal jam is so delicious. I literally end up licking the mascarpone until the last drop. Tongue in ramekin. 2. Olive Ciabatta bread : It's filled with delicious olives, it's extremely crusty (it will definitely make a mess in your car... My Lexi was temporarily floured and crumbed. Don't ask why I was driving while eating a huge loaf of bread), and incredibly airy and soft inside. I don't usually eat carbs due to my former fat girl genes. This is a carb well worth it. 3. The Breakfast Sandwich. It comes on their homemade english muffin which is very different then the usual dry grocery store items. The egg is always cooked perfectly, with the yolk drooling down the bacon and arugula. Good quality ingredients usually make a good quality sandwich! Here I am exclaiming I don't eat carbs yet I'm going to bakeries and talking about all the delicious carbs that I love. I didn't give it a 5 star because the service can be slightly awkward sometimes and find that a few of the items are way overpriced (some of the prices on the cookies and such are a little ridiculous).

  • Clint W.

    We had to sneak in here because I had to introduce my friend to the coconut cream pie. A mongo slice of that and a pnut butter cookie brought oooo's and ahhh's. We sat outside at the table and people watched. You know people are enjoying their food when it gets all quiet. It's like when it snows. Things are moving around you but you can't hear anything. It's one of the best sounds around.

  • Janice V.

    Hands down the best coconut cream pies. I usually get the mini bite size ones and they're half off during happy hour....SCORE!!! I've also had their donuts, sandwiches, and breakfast items. Everything's scrumptous! Definitely a must for tourists to try to coconut cream pies...YUM!!!

    (5)

  • Diana L.

    I had their turkey sandwich the other day and honestly believe it was the best turkey sandwich I have ever had. Each layer from the middle out was perfection. Roast turkey, havarti, bacon, tomato, butter lettuce and garlic mayo on a round potato roll. I've worked downtown for longer than most of the waitstaff here has been alive, so I've had a lot of turkey sandwiches. Mostly they have been "Meh" lunch faire. If you want a little bit of splurge for a great turkey sandwich - this is the place. Oh, and the cookies are pretty darned good too!

    Maybe i didn't order the right things? I ordered a strawberry french macaroon and a truffle chocolate cookie. The macaroon was a poor example of the cute little french treat. Once you get through the overwhelming crunch there is nothing, no delicate chewiness, just hollow. My friend heard the crunch over the loud street traffic and knew not to even try it. The 'macaroon' was so hard and crunchy the filling oozed out which was fine with me as it tasted like fake strawberry syrup. I NEVER throw sweets away, but, after one bite of this I threw the rest in the trash. The truffle chocolate cookie was meh. Nothing a novice baker couldn't make at home. It's really just a double chocolate cookie, not much truffle about it. Customer service was not great- the woman at the register overcharged me and when i pointed it out she rolled her eyes at me, huffed and dug around in the register to give me a quarter- she owed me $1.50 but I didn't want to stick around any longer.

    Did not know Dahlia had a bakery. Stopped in on the way to see the RAIN show at the Moore and what a delicious surprise! I had my daughter and niece (both teens) with me and they were delighted at the selections - too many great choices in fact! With chocolate truffle cookie and nutty brownie in hand we were in and out quick and I must say both were little bits of dessert ambrosia. Girls delighted, just a bite or three of both was plenty to satisfy and each were frankly jumbo sized for one person. Friendly staff, cozy, and I did see an espresso machine. Great place to stop when downtown in the morning-to-early-afternoon.

    Good. Very good even. But not the best bakery I've had the privilege of enjoying in Seattle. Still, completely good in its own right, and I can't think of anything better in its immediate vicinity, so that counts for a lot, I'd say. So, picture this. It's a beautiful Friday morning in mid-May, and Seattle hasn't really seen a whole lot of sun. So someone, and I'm not naming names here, decides that it would be a great day to play hooky and spend downtown and along the waterfront, just basking in that glorious ball of light in the skay. So someone, still not naming names, did just that. First stop, Dahlia Bakery. Ooh, anticipation. Okay, so park, walk, turn face up to sun. Check, check, check. Get to bakery. Yay! Hmm, greeting isn't that pleasant. Boo! Order asparagus and fried egg sandwich and an order of beignets. Yay! Stare, while trying desperately not to drool as there were two very hot men in the tiny shop with me at the time, at the amazingly scrumptious and decandent baked goods on the wall. Yay! Marvel at the mini coconut cream pies in the refrigerator case. *drool* Oh, darn it! Covertly eye the two cuties who were playing on their phones. Yum! Name is called by same unpleasant greeter. Pronounced "Brian", in spite of the six times it needed to be repeated before being spelled. Whatever, give me my beignets and sandwich, lady! I don't need you anyway! Take beignets and sandwich and wander out of the store after a brief, but obviously meaningful few seconds of eye contact with Burberry tie hottie. Score! Walk the four blocks down to the little park at the end of Pike Place. Hey, it's the cheese festival! More things I love! Sit at round table, gazing off towards West Seattle. Ahh, the red cranes. Hmm, birds are accosting me. I don't like birdies, Sam I Am. Fine, this sandwich is calling my name. Mission: Ignore Crows commences. Mmm, delicious roasted asparagus, cheddar cheese, fried egg inside of a delicious (and it actually might have been the best part) English Muffin. Eat your heart out, McDonald's. THIS is a breakfast sandwich featuring an English Muffin. Oh, the crow is on my table. Don't think I won't hit you with my book, mister. Hmph. Oh, little chickadees. Well, you're still filthy birds, but you're cuter filthy birds, so I'll feed you little bits of the bread. Cool. Now, the beignets. This is a little process. Get out the little containers of perfectly sweetened vanilla mascarpone and rhubarb (!!!!) compote, and place them just next to the bag of beignets. Take out first beignet. Tear in half and take a nibble to see how good it is without the glorious accoutrements offered. Yum. Very delicious. Now, dip un-nibbled half in mascarpone. Nibble. Oh, wow. Really, really good. Does mascarpone always taste this delish? It should! And the rhubarb compote, so good. Tiny bits of rhubarb in the thick saunce...it's like they knew I was coming in that day. Or that "Brian" was coming in. Share beignets with two little children. What? I know how to share! Sheesh, oldest child here. What was mine was ALWAYS two other peoples, too! Anyway, beignets shared with children, English Muffin shared with the little chickadees, and nothing for the crows. Winning!

    Everything in this place looks delicious! If you know me, you know that it takes me forever to make a decision. On my last trip I decided to try the famous coconut cream pie (bite). I don't know if it was that I only had a bite, but it was not as life-changing as the hype led me to believe. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious...light and creamy and not too coconutty. I might have to go back and try a whole slice for a final decision :) I have also had the peanut butter cookie which was absolutely delightful with the layer of peanut butter in the middle. I do not recommend the caramel popcorn cupcake. I was really excited to eat it when I saw it. Unfortunately, I found the cupcake to be sub par. The frosting tasted like I was eating a stick of slightly sweetened butter and the cake itself was too dense. I did not finish my cupcake and that's saying a lot. I want to go back and try the breads and the other cookies and the eclair with sea salt.

  • Diana L.

    We tried the famous coconut cream pie (bites) with it's coconut filling, coconut whipped cream and apparently there is coconut in the crust...of course topped with shaved coconut. It was light and delicious, not to sweet! We also tried the pumpkin whoopie pie, which we were not a fan of. The cream filling tasted very salty for some reason. The pear tart was good and it came with a caramel topping. Just FYI, there is no seating at this bakery!

  • Sonya L.

    Chocolate truffle cookie FTW. I swear to god, this cookie is one of the most amazing ones I've ever had in my life. It's tiny and there are no tables, but it's a really cute space and I don't need a table to eat a cookie anyway. The line gets long, but the employees move everyone through pretty fast. While I found the coconut cream pie overrated on a previous visit, I will be back for that damn cookie. It's too good to pass up.

  • Les L.

    I had a bag of day-old CHOCOLATE CHIP and TOFFEE cookies here and ended up eating them like 3-4 days later. If old cookies tasted good, that says something. The BAVARIAN PRETZEL was also good and my friend who ordered a COCONUT CREAM PIE raves about it to this day.

    The GLAMOROUS desserts are like a portrait to me. You can look at all you want but you can only taste a few. Man, I wanted to eat everything displayed. I ended up buying just one treat for myself, otherwise I would go crazy sugar high. I always go for the limited version first. I got the eggnog pound cake!! Extremely satisfying taste like a light doughnut, not too sweet-not too thick just PERFECT!!! Absolutely going back!! =]

  • Steven L.

    I love this little gem! I can't get enough! The grilled cheeses are the best in the world, the breakfast sandwiches are to die for and the chocolate cookies are sinful! Make sure you bring a coat as the space is tiny and you will likely be waiting outside but who the heck cares! GO!

  • Ken R.

    Most likely the best cookies I've ever have had, really. The chocolate truffle cookie is a wonderful moist chocolate with chunks of chocolate in ever bite within a bite crispy/baked outer skin/shell (expect a little crunch but the inside is moist and delicious). Each cookie is $2.50 but get there early and get a package of three day old cookies of different varieties (each bag seems to have a chocolate truffle cookie). I think the day-old cookie package is $2.00 or $2.50 and the cookies taste very fresh. Great place! Tried a fig bar as well, it was good, but when I tried the chocolate truffle cookie I was sold on this place being my cookie supplier in Belltown.

    Been meaning to write this review for a while and now that I am not feeling "as emotional" about my horrible experience I thought I would give it a whirl. Food is good, but not great for the price. You always hear about what a great chef Tom Douglas is, but most of the items on the menu are over sauced and without a good flavor combination - BORING to say the least. Do not bother with allergy requests either as they DON'T FUCKING CARE. The reason for the distaste in my mouth is the swelling of my tounge probably. Last fall, I ate from the bakery for lunch. I asked for no aioli as there was something mixed in it that I am seriously allergic too. When my sandwich came I mentioned to the barista working that it had the bad ingredient on it and she told me, "well, we dont do substitutions".... How nice of her. I asked that they make me a new sandwich anyways and they did. When I went back to the office I opened my sandwich to not less aioli, but actually WAY WAY more! When I mentioned it to my coworker who is personal friends with some of the kitchen staff she said, "yeah, they do that when they don't like someone or when someone asks for a substitution". The problem with this is its not a substitution is a fucking allergy DICKS! Thanks for literally trying to kill me. Long story short: I have been spreading this story for months and telling everyone who mentions Tom Douglas that his staff are assholes and the food is crap. OVER-RATED. My dog could put together a less-sloppy sandwich. Just because Tom Douglas is monopolizing Belltown doesnt mean there arent other great places to eat. Try the several sushi places around or Two Bells Bar and Grill (the staff is funny and really nice - super down to earth and welcoming). Even Dan's Market has nicer staff and they are the crabbiest guys in town LOL. Edit due to reading serveral other ratings below: I must comment also that yes, maybe they have a great bakery breakfast, but what kind of "bakery" doesnt open until 7:30 AM???? I start work at 7:30 and wouldnt even be able to get a bite if I was ever gonna eat there again... which I obviously wont. Down in the 253 a "bakery" opens around 5 AM....

    Coconut Cream Pie. We had it at the office today for a birthday and it was delicious. Creamy, decadent and flavorful. Also delish is Tom's Tasty Tomato Soup, which I get occasionaly. Best tomato soup ever. It comes with a fresh roll that is perfect for dipping and also absorbing any last drops your spoon can't catch.

    Was in Seattle visiting friend's and had a chance to stop by Dahlia's while my friends were sleeping (see? there are benefits to being a morning person!). I ordered the Fried to Order Donuts with Mascapone and I believe an Apple jam... seriously deeeelish! I normally forgo donuts because I think they're too many calories for the amount of enjoyment I receive from them. However, these were different and worth every last calorie! they were light, airy, hot and covered with cinnamon and sugar (like a zeppole). The combination of the donuts with the two dipping sauces can not be beat! Six donuts come in an order; I tried to save two for two sleeping friends... let's just say the donuts did not survive my walk home... early bird gets the worm! Other items I got: coconut cream bite (yum!) and Starbucks drip coffee. I know this is blasphemous to say in Seattle but I wish they had better coffee... that would be the only thing I would change about this place.

    Loved this place so much that we came here THREE TIMES in THREE days during our recent visit to Seattle. Had the pumpkin soup witih homemade bread and turkey sandwich for a quick lunch on our way to the EMP museum. Tried different cookies--chocolate cherry, chocolate truffle, and peanut butter. Loved the pb so much we bough some to take home. Totally addictive and worth every calorie!!!

    What a cute, quaint, little place in the heart of "Douglasville." Tom rules this whole block, but this sweet little hole-in-the wall delivers an unexpected punch. Once I heard it was part of the Douglas monopoly, it just made sense. Fit the bill. I guess he is known for his coconut and white chocolate pie (that's what I was told). Well, even if he isn't, he should be! It was fabulous. Nice textures and flavors, and proportion. I also tried the little Cringle Cookie - little chocolate thang. Gosh, I'm not a huge cookie craver, but this was like a moist brownie with a cookie crust. And the chocolate flavor... oh my. I will leave it at that. Not only is this in a great part of town, but right next door you can stop into Dahlia's and grab a bite of breakfast after you eat your chocolate desserts at 10:00 AM. (ooopsss). Douglasville, you have a new resident.

    read so many good reviews about this place and it sounded good. i wanted to taste the best coconut cream pie in seattle. i dont know why i couldnt get into it. it is a heavy pie with heavy cream and a heavy crust. i prefer a more fluffy cream and crust. it is loaded with coconut, but almost too much. every bite is coconut. my first impression "there's a lot of chewing with this pie." the coconut cream part is so heavy it is the texture of mashed potatoes. the pan pie sets you back almost $40. also got a loaf of bread, carrot leek pastry and scone. maybe i ordered everything meh, but that was just my experience. meh. service is very good though. (always end on a positive note)

    Too pricey for me. However, I did indulge in their 4-6pm Happy Hour, which feature, on a specific day, Tom Douglas' famous triple coconut cream pie bites for $1 (originally $2.50). It's about a two-ounce bite, but it is two ounces of heaven in a tiny box. Will be back for more :D

    I was lucky enough to be staying near the Dahlia Bakery during my visit to Seattle -- and even luckier to have tasted their tah-die-for breakfast sandwich! The bread? Homemade and perfectly toasted. And the contents of the sandwich complemented each other perfectly! And none of this frozen stuffs -- the sandwich was definitely made fresh-to-order. What more can you ask for? The only thing I regret? That I didn't get to taste their delicious pastries! A return trip MUST be made to Dahlia Bakery on any future visits to Seattle!

    Loved everything we tried here. The donuts are heavenly and we still dream about the breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place for a quick and delicious breakfast to go, and a super easy walk from downtown hotels. While this place is small, with no seating inside, they do have a few tables outside. Next time we're in Seattle we'll definitely be back!

    Came to have some of this coconut cream pie I keep hearing about far and wide, and was very, very pleased to see pie "bites" offered! In addition - was craving more immediately after finishing and I don't like coconut? VERY happy to see flourless (gluten free) selections available! Also grabbed a turkey sammy which was delicious.

    Well, there are a few small tables and chairs outside the bakery, the servers are behind the counter and who has time for booze when you can sample the best baked goods on the planet? Charles the counterperson was great with his knowledge of ALL the items along with a history of the Dahlia product. I bought brownies, macaroons, pear tarts, choc chunk and peanut butter cookies, scones coco bites and my favorite out of all of these delicious goodies was the caramel eclair! I know you get tired of folks raving over stuff. Too bad. I'm raving! And it's warranted. Every item was baked to such moist, delicious, tasty excellence it is just hard to describe. I just shake my head when thinking how good everything was. Go EARLY! I went on a Sunday morning and was there when they opened the door. Literally 15 minutes later the small bakery was jammed pack! Parking was tough too as I had to look high and low for a spot. Seattle has got to be in the Guiness book of records for the amount of pay for parking lots! They are EVERYWHERE! And forget about public restrooms. But I love the city never the less. Go. Enjoy.

    A-mazing! Breakfast sandwiches that I would eat anytime of day. I ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich with cheddar cheese, bacon and bacon. I thought the cheddar cheese added the right amount of complexity and almost a kick because of its sharpness. Arugula didn't overpower, but added a spiciness and freshness that was key. So why only 4 stars?? The price, guys. You know me. I'll pay, but I won't like it. Also, the ambiance just didn't feel quite right. Bad feng shui perhaps. I haven't tried the other baked goods, but I will definitely be back.

    Ok so I am fairly poor I live paycheck to paycheck but today I was having a good day and wanted to treat myself to some of Dahlia's famous tomoato soup! I got a cup of soup and went home set it on the counter and got in the shower for work. Came out of my shower only to find that my cats had got into the soup and flug it everywhere and I mean everywhere walls, floor, my cello under the bed. Anyways i was so upset that after i got done cleaning it up i called the bakery told them my story and asked if they could replace it for me. They were so nice they said it would be no problem. This kept my day from being ruined. Thank you guys soooo much that is truly great customer service and great products!! :)

  • Cecilia C.

    Came here twice during our trip just for their DONUTS! Mmmm their donuts dipped in the mascarpone dip is worth the 7 dollars that I paid for this bag of only about 6 donuts in it. I found out about this place the first time I came up to Seattle because of Giada on The Best Thing I Ever Ate and all I could think of when I planned out my next trip the Emerald City was these donuts. Their coconut pie is pretty delicious also, and this is coming from a person that doesn't like coconut pies.

  • Mae P.

    Coconut cream pie is good, not too sweet at all. Tiny donuts are not bad too. However for the long line one has to wait in, I expected more. Friendly customer service is a major plus though.

    A friend recommended this place for me to check it out, especially their coconut cream pie. So i made sure i stopped by here to give it a try. It was a beautiful day in the Emerald City with fresh crisp cold air, fall leaves romantically fallen on the streets of Bell town (where this bakery is) and some sun shine. Bakery is small as in few seats outside and that's it. (bakery is attached to their restaurant...etc.). Coconut cream pie lived up to its expectation and beyond! It was really really yummy! The crust was just something else, had croissant like elements in a pie crust way.=) The cream and the coconut was fresh and tasty and creamy smooth! Perfect! I love their coconut cream pie! Also got coffee (w/cream) and coffee was good too (i am not too big of a coffee drinker and they do not serve lattes here, fyi).. Great experience and i will be back again..next time i am in Seattle=).

    stopped by on my last morning of my weekend in seattle. got there as the doors opened. so many choices and yes, they had the little coconut cream pie bites that yelpers were raving about. bought one of those (comes in the sweetest little box) and a pbj on a homemade english muffin (would ask for the muffin toasted crisp next time) and a bag of chocolate truffle cookies to go which my friend, the recipient of this little gift, said were to die for. will definitely be going back!!

    Wanted to try this place during our vacation because it was the number one restaurant destination on TripAdvisor. It was decent but nothing I would really rave about. We tried the Flourless Macaroons and the Coconut Cream Pie Bites. The macaroons were pretty good even though they were flourless; however, you can taste a slight difference from other macaroons I've tried. Hubby LOVED the Coconut Cream Pie Bites, and I believe that's what the bakery is known for. So if you're going to try something here...definitely get the Coconut Cream Pie!

  • Jason H.

    I go here often for the coconut cream pie bite happy hour - only a $1 on mondays and pretty amazing. The crust is perfect and the filling is really coconutty and excellent. Tom's Tomato soup is also great and all of the breads are fantastic. I think their other soups are pretty hit or miss and I'm not a big fan of their sandwiches which I think are a little over priced for what you get.

    I went to Lola for brunch one day and was blown away. I had to try Tom Douglas's Dahlia Bakery across the street. It's just as amazing. we ended up getting tomato soup, Hawaiian pork with pineapple, choc. pudding, a cookie, a whole loaf of banana bread, a strawberry ice cream sandwich and a bag of Beignets. Oh sooo good This is my new favorite spot for Beignets in the city. (p.s. they serve them over in Lola too)

  • Erin W.

    English muffin, butter, walnut butter, honey, banana. Do it. Really. An indulgent breakfast, but it will likely be mid afternoon before you're close to hungry again. (I've gotta learn how to make muffins like that! They ain't no store bought pucks.) I blatantly undressed the nectarine vanilla pie in the case with my eyes. :-p... .. . . . Be warned though: The space is is obnoxiously small. It feels packed with anything beyond three people in line, which is usually a best case scenario. The close quarters seems sort of excusable since it has a very cozy feel (appropriate for a bakery), but it gets confusing as to who is in line and who is waiting for his/her order to come up.

    This was my second stop on my day in support of "The Little Guys" when I headed to Seattle to spend the day shopping for cheeses, breads and pastries for the hosting of our annual celebration of Festivus with some friends. I had searched Yelp for some good bakeries for breads and Dahlia looked promising. After driving around the block a few times, I finally found a parking spot a few blocks away. It was a clear, crisp morning and a short walk would help settle the yummy pastries I had just consumed at Nielson's Authentic Danish (see my review). I was looking for a couple of loaves of good artisan breads. Upon entering, I was amazed at the very cramped quarters. Way too small for comfort. I surveyed the breads and chose the potato and the House Specialty. I looked at the pastries and cookies, and they looked good but I thought they were a bit over priced. I was not impressed with either bread. They were alright, but not anything I would make another effort for. I have picked up artisan breads from Costco that were just as good. I was really hoping for something more. Maybe I am just spoiled by Anjou Bakery in Cashmere, IDK.

  • Madeleine T.

    My sweetheart and I stayed right across the street from the Dahlia Bakery during our recent holiday in Seattle. Why it took us several days to pop in, I'll never know, but I want those days back so we can go every single morning. I think we ate here more than anywhere else during our stay, and everything was quite tasty. My sweetheart says the English muffin with egg and asparagus sandwiches were possibly the best culinary discovery of the whole trip! The English muffin with walnut butter and banana sandwiches aren't too shabby either. Actually, at this moment, I am kicking myself for not seeing if we could just buy a bag of their tasty, tasty English muffins to take home. The charming staff was also very nice to me when I spilled most of my morning coffee down my jacket, which is perhaps even better than any of their delicious baked goods.

  • Dessert Friday G.

    Creamy and delicious! My friend and I had the coconut cream bite and vanilla bean creme brulee. It wasn't overly sweet, but oh very rich indeed. Cons: small space, a bit on the pricey side. The cookies and the other savories look very tempting though, so embrace yourself and be prepared coming out buying more than you intended! P.S. when I bought the coconut-bite, they handed it to me in a mini chinese-take out box, very cute indeed!

  • Charlie M.

    Don't believe the hype about the made to order donuts. They are mediocre and over priced. What you really need to get here are the chocolate truffle cookies. They are divine. I really wish this place didn't service Starbucks coffee, when there are so many great options like Stumptown in Seattle. But Tom Douglas has a relationship with Starbucks, so I understand. I thought the service was great. Not a lot of place for sitting, so be prepared to take your order to go.

  • Abby T.

    Once again, thank you Tom Douglas. I love this bakery - the only reason it isn't getting it's 5th star is because it's TINY, and there is alllwaaays a line which usually makes me late back to work on my break (because it's super tasty, and people are catching on...) but I'll go anyway because, well.... mmmmmmmmm ;) They usually have two soups available, one of which is always Tom's Tomato (the best Tomato soup I've had, to date... I don't usually eat tomato soup) and the other which is interchangeable and dependent on the season - whatever is fresh. ( the fall apple-squash soup is to die for!!!) They usually pack a piece or two of their fresh yummy breads in when you order one, which is nice... I also buy my bread there when I'm close. They have really unique sandwich options which are always good, and the cheesecake/fresh baked goods are also always good good good (and the "Rub with Love" options they have - mm mmm and mmm again!). Thumbs up, I'm done now... because it's making me hungry.

    THE BEST TOMATO SOUP I HAVE EVER HAD. I had it at the restaurant next door last August and was very impressed. Went back for it this Memorial Day weekend.

    I'm still dreaming of their pillows of divinity with mascarpone and housemade rhubarb jam a month later. These are supposedly donuts made to order but lordy they're better than donuts. Better than any beignet I've had in New Orleans, or malasada in Hawaii. Damn good.

    After watching Giada eat those zeppolis from Lola on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, I knew I had to get some during my visit to Seattle. I went to Lola, but it was between lunch and dinner so they had just stopped serving food. Thankfully, the hostess was nice enough to tell me that they had the exact same donuts (for cheaper) across the street at Dahlia Bakery. I quickly ran across the street to get the donuts and they were ready for me in about 5 minutes. There were 6 warm, soft donuts in a white paper bag with mascarpone and seasonal jam. I was not a huge fan of the mascarpone but the fruit jam was really fresh and sweet. The donuts were exactly as Giada had described, and I loved them! I also got the lemon poppyseed loaf, which was good but slightly dry and heavy. Either way, my family loved it and devoured the pastry all throughout the day.

  • Amanda Z.

    The most delicious egg sandwich ever!!! I didn't try anything else besides the egg sandwich, but damn Gina that was a 5 star sandwich! Perfectly cooked and seasoned egg, perfectly toasted English muffin, perfectly sharp cheddar cheese and perfectly ripe avocado. Delicious!! A $5 egg sandwich is a little pricey, if you ask me, but it was seriously worth every last penny!

  • Chenda N.

    i fell in love with the coconut cream pie the moment i laid eyes on the white flaky topping, creamy center and earthy crust at etta's. at the bakery, i now can manage my addiction by having the choice of the bite size piece, slice, or small pie. i'll take all three...just in case :). great place for an on the go lunch break or eating outside on a nice sunny or cool day. not sure if the corn chowder is a regular soup selection, but if it's not, it should be. the bits of corn are fresh and the broth is savory and warm, great for seattle weather. i ordered the fried chicken sandwich to go with it, pretty decent...just wish there were more chicken and less mustard. and because i don't always have time to make it to the bakery, i decided to stock up and take one of everything (ok, not everything, but most) in the baked goods display. my faves were the lavendar cake and cherry tart.

    It is a great sorrow of mine that I cannot bake a macaroon. I love macaroons dearly --- they may even be my favorite cookie --- but I've never mastered the technique that allows them to be golden-brown and slightly crisp on the outside, while moist and chewy (but not mushy) on the inside. Mercifully, the Dahlia Bakery has done it for me, and all I have to do is walk in on my way home from work. The Dahlia Bakery is next door to the Dahlia Lounge, which is a swanky and excitingly mood-lit place for a fancy lunch. The bakery is tiny, cheerful, and bright, and most of the space is taken up by large glass cases displaying their wares. In addition to the marvelous macaroons ($0.75), they have buttermilk mini-cakes ($2.25) that are unbelievably rich and velvety, like little personal-size pound cakes in fancy paper wrappers. There's a rotating selection of cookies and pastries, cheesecakes, and a few sandwiches and soups as well. Behind the counter, rustic-type baskets hold loaves of artisan bread ($4) --- the same four or five flavors every day, plus a bread-of-the-month flavor. So back to the macaroon. Its color is slightly unusual --- a smooth, almost meringuey appearance and beige hue (I prefer a more golden/toasty appearance with visible strands of coconut). But the taste! The coconut is rich and fragrant, with a distinct vanilla note that's more pronounced than a typical macaroon, giving a more intense and satisfying flavor. The texture is perfect --- slightly sticky and chewy without being pasty or overdone, and not dry at all. For less than a buck, it's a lovely small treat you won't feel guilty about indulging in. My only complaint is the size --- the space for customers isn't much bigger than a storage closet, so if there's already one or two people inside ahead of you, you pretty much have to stand outside and wait for them to leave. They have some small displays of candies and gourmet foods, but because there's hardly any room inside, it's hard to stand there and browse without knocking things over. But if it were bigger, more people would come and buy up all my macaroons, so maybe I should be thankful that the bakery is so wee.

  • Jimmy W.

    Way overrated. I don't understand what the big deal is about their coconut cream pie. And their other baked goods aren't all that great either. Overall, I just don't know what the big deal is with Tom Douglas' restaurants. They're ok, but not all that great, and certainly not worth the price you pay. Save your money and go to an ordinary Chinese pastry place in the ID, and you'll get much better for a small fraction of the price.

    We happened upon the Dahlia Bakery after a happy hour across the street at Lola. I wanted something sweet to snack on later and asked the woman working the takeaway bar what the specialty was - it was coconut cream pie. Lucky for us we stumbled in during happy hour and the happy hour special of the day was tiny coconut cream pies. I got two...I wish I had taken three or four :-)

  • Yuliana A.

    This was my first trip to this bakery while waiting for our table at Serious Pie. We bought the orange cupcake, espresso eclair, and fig bar. I have to say that the fig bar shines above the others! The crust was flaky and the inside is abundant and sweet and tangy. I would never eat another Newton bar after Dahlia's fig bar! The espresso eclair was great too (better than Le Panier's but maybe a tad too bitter for non-espresso lover...if there's any really!) The orange cupcake was a bit dry and eggy for me, and the frosting was too buttery (hey, it's just my personal preference that I like my frosting less buttery). For the same flavor, I prefer Yellow Leaf. Taste-wise it was good, but not great.

  • Stella C.

    Oh! I stand corrected, we did have something made from a Tom Douglas restaurant... sort of! This bakery was located across the street from our hotel, when I saw a bakery sign, I KNEW I had to come by. I could read the sign from across the street showing what they had and I knew I had to come try the coconut cream pie. The first day we walked in to see what they had, but it was so early and I can't eat pie first thing in the morning so we grabbed doughnuts a few blocks away instead at Top Pot. The next day, Kym C. ran down across the street and brought us back a few goodies. I only wanted a bite size coconut cream pie and it was a good bite! It was filled with shredded coconut and the crust was homemade and flaky. If you have been to Tartine in SF, it is equivalent to their pies (which means they are good). This store is pretty small but there is so much to offer here. A great little place!

  • Alissa K.

    Have any of these reviewers been to an actual bakery? Reasons for suckage: (1) Tiny, no tables, no selection. (2) Overpriced -- a mid-sized apple pastry was almost $6. Unless it's going to give me a backrub and splurt forth a cup of coffee post-purchase, no thanks. (3) Chocolate chunk cookie was rock hard and tasted not unlike a Chips Ahoy. (4) Bread was no different than a loaf you'd pick up at your local QFC. Bottom line: not worth the journey to douche-town.

    Ok, I was just in the area I had a layover in Seattle and we found Serious Pie. Looked around Yelp to if there were any good coffee/dessert place nearby, and found Dahlia. Ok, I was skeptical about the coconut cream pie, but I tried it and I am now a believer. Will be back again when I come back this way again.

    Tom Douglas~ def. a seattle icon in the culinary realm. Gotta try out his small bakery shack. Especially the signature mini coconut cream pie. I don't die for this place...but if i'm in the area, sure why not! It's not a place to sit down and banter with friends over coffee. It's a walk in and walk out with some tasty sweets...as you briskly walk back to work in downtown seattle during your lunch break. (satisfied from getting your afternoon sugar fix). OR if you are planning on taking a stroll downtown- looking at shops and eating/walking happily. (preferably on a sunny day) Apricot oatmeal cookie & peppermint patties were my faves. There isn't a large selection- so pick up your #1s and #2s and know it will be there when you go back.

  • Trish F.

    Lovely. That's the word that pops into my head. I mean the place is teeny, there are only a few tables outside, and it's on a random street.. but lunch here was lovely. It was just the right amount of busy the entire time I was there (as in.. the line was to the door.. but never went out the door and seats freed up as people got their food). Eying all the goodies while in line threw me off. Must.. have.. sandwich.. before.. desserts.. This place may look like a hole in the wall joint, but you'd never guess that just based on the food. I wanted to get the buffalo chicken salad sandwich but the threat of Frank's Red Hot in the mix scared my hot fearing palate. My friend, however, had it for lunch and said it was fantastic. I've gotta say I was very happy with my choice of eggplant parm for a sammie. The bread was absolutely fantastic and the eggplant came out perfectly. I've never had such a "light" parm sandwich. Now onto dessert.. I grabbed a mini coconut cream pie (how could I not) and a chocolate truffle cookie. The cashier put my cream pie in a cute little box.. and I let her. I wanted to say, "Figgit the bahx.. I'll jus have it as an appetizer kthx" but you know.. I was trying to give Seattle a good first impression of me.. so I pretended it was a treat for later. Both were wondderrffullll. The coconut cream pie was a wee bit expensive considering the size but the cookie. Oh the cookie was just a great amount of chocolate without being too rich. Throw in an Izze in a can (except tap the lid before opening) and that was one amazing bakery lunch!

    We stopped here for breakfast after hearing all the rave reviews about it. Upon walking in, I knew what we were going to order.. Fried-to-Order Doughnuts and Coconut Pie. The Husband and I aren't big fans of coconut pies so I opted for the bite-sized portion. Good idea, because we're still not big fans of coconut pies, although it was delicious, but just not our cup of tea. Now, doughnuts... we know. They were definitely delicious, but we've had fresh doughnuts before and they were equally delicious. So although this place was overall yummy and a great way to start our morning, it just didn't quite.. wake our senses.

  • S Y.

    My favorite place to pick up a fresh baked loaf of bread. We used to go there regularly to buy bread and a pastry or two, or three... My all time favorite loaf is the potato and olive oil. Delicious fresh, toasted and even after a few days, still tasty. The coconut cream pie is luscious, the chewy chocolate cookie sweet and decadent. Yes, the pastries do cost more than a typical grocery store but I don't mind since the quality has always been excellent each time we've visited. Sometimes, loaves have not been ready at opening because they are still baking, but when we remember, we just give them a call in advance to see what is available. The other loaves we've tried have all been excellent: nutty, chewy and well, bready in the best way.

    shocker... another 4 stars for TD. Went here this morning... wasn't busy at all so I got to browse around a little bit. ended up with a scone, some monkey bread, yogurt and a couple cookies. I've only nibbled on the cookie and had the yogurt for breakfast, but they are both good so far.

    I work a block from this place but had never gone in b/c I always thought it'd be too expensive for small portions, etc. Well I just had their cupcakes the other day and they are the best cupcakes I have ever had.

    Yummy bread! I love how their crust is hard but inside is all fluffy and so damn good! When I go to Tom Douglas' restaurant, I can just keep eating their bread and be full. They are so good. When I get to go there in the morning, I always order donuts. hmmmm...donuts....!! The jam, and sweetened mascarpone are just heavenly. I didn't care so much for their eclair, and for me, their coconuts cream pie is yummy but not as good as their donuts. Their breakfast sandwich is also good! I regret why didn't I go there this morning...

    It's a good thing I'm usually too lazy to walk that far, and driving to it seems so sinful... as if a trip to Dahlia Bakery isn't sinful enough as it is, but I'd gladly go to confession over and over again for such gluttony. Nothing cheers me up quite like the sweet bakery aroma early in the morning. If I weren't always in such a hurry to get my hands around the best looking broiche cinnamon roll from the tray, I'd exit and re-enter the shop multiple times just to experience that first whiff over and over again. And those macaroons... just thinking about them makes me giddy. Yes, I most certainly have had macaroons for breakfast! This is strictly a to-go place. The beverage menu is limited, but I don't come here for fancy coffee drinks. Such perfect baked goodness would be insulted by anything other than a cup of tea anyway.

    Okay, I must preface this with the fact that my sister works here, so I am a bit biased. When I first tasted the coconut cream pie years ago at Etta's, I was hooked. I love Tom's tomato soup for lunch. It comes with a fresh baked roll. So good for dipping into the soup. Their turkey sandwich is tasty also. Their peanut butter cookie is soo sinfully delicious. You can't go wrong here for lunch! It's all take out, but they have a few tables outside. It's very dangerous to have family working here.. but ooh, so good.

    Had a breakfast sandwich here before exploring Seattle. Delicious. Fresh English muffin with a fried egg and tomato. Best English muffin I've ever had! It was great. I got a mini coconut cream pie for later, but didn't think it was that special, but I wish I could have tried more things.

    ummm yeah that cocnut cream pie really is all that it's cracked up to be.

    An eggplant parmesan sandwich that isn't greasy or chewy. It's a bloody miracle. And the peanut butter cookie is decadence^2. I imagine everything else is as good as it looks/smells. T'would easily be a 5-star favourite if they had seating or more vegetarian lunch options.

    Buy a fresh pastry, coffee and a bag of the "day old's" (which is a STEAL and oh so delicious) and you're set for the morning and snack time when it rolls around ...and you know it WILL!

  • Meredith M.

    I knew I couldn't leave Seattle without having something from here. I got the doughnuts (which comes with vanilla mascarpone and strawberry jam) and my husband got the egg sandwich with bacon. Holy moley. I am so glad we do not live in Seattle because if we did, we would eat here everyday. The doughnuts we warm and super yummy by themselves but once I added the mascarpone and jam, they were heavenly. Although my husband loved his sandwich, he couldn't keep his hands off my doughnuts.

    What...? This isn't awesome. This is overhyped yuppie crap. And I think I'm a yuppie. Ugh. What's that mean again? Ok, so the review: Went here for lunch with a friend. Ordered a range of items- soup, salad, bread, sandwich, cake. All were subpar to acceptable. The soup was a bean and pork soup; I suppose reasonably priced at almost $5 for a small-ish cup. Comes with bread! The bread was a decent crusty roll, covered in flour and a mess to eat. Tasted ok, I guess, but mostly just like white bread. Salad sounded interesting- marinated artichoke and a paprika vinaigrette. Turned out to be uninteresting- the dressing was really just French dressing. The sandwich was had by my dining partner. He said it was just ok. I had ordered a $2 buttermilk cake, which was decent in size, but mostly just tasted like pretty good cornbread. Not impressed. I'm going to be honest here, and it's going to hurt some people's feelings. Specialty's bakery/cafe is way better than this. What, you say? A CHAIN restaurant? Yes, it is true. I've had better salads, cookies, and sometimes sandwiches and that place, and all are fresher and made-to-order. This leads me to the Dahlia Bakery's greatest offense: the coconut cream pie. Yes, it's really good. I've had it at the Dahlia Lounge, and it was great. But at the Bakery, they'll sell you an individual pie, the size of a slice at the restaurant, for $15. FIFTEEN DOLLARS for a slice of pie? WTF. Earth to Dahlia Bakery: Stop being so pretentious and make some better food already.

    Walking around downtown on a Sunday afternoon, I got a craving for a cupcake. (Andy why not?) My wanderings took me over to Dahlia Bakery. In my singular experience, I really can't say I was impressed. The staff person seemed annoyed with me not knowing exactly what I wanted. And when I did decide on a chocolate-Kahlua cupcake, what I got was pretty disappointing. Dry on the inside, very little, if any Kahlua flavor, and the vanilla frosting on top lacked both sugar and vanilla flavor. Some indulgence.

  • Cat S.

    I have to restrain myself from coming here everyday. Try the peanut butter cookie. It's a cookie sandwich with peanut butter inside and is delicious. For breakfast, try the hot cereal, the veggie fried egg sandwich or the homemade English muffin with walnut butter and bananas. You can't go wrong with their soups, salads or sandwiches for lunch.

  • Penelope B.

    Dahlia Bakery is what it ought to be, a small closet sized bakery selling incredibly goods. I peek out our kitchen window and see this little shop glowing in the early morning and evening and want to head over at all hours. The other day I treated myself to a breakfast of the following, one of their homemade fig bars (gorgeous, buttery, fragrant), one of their honey maple oat muffins (seasonal i think but moist and sweet), one of their mushroom, cheese and truffle brioche (ahhhhhh!) and finally I also took home their house loaf which perfumes your kitchen with the scent of freshly baked bread. It's crusty on the outside, soft and spongy on the inside - just what a good loaf ought to be... goooooooooood!

  • Karin W.

    Just thinking about the breakfast we enjoyed yesterday, and I drool, which makes it difficult to type. We left our hotel, dragging our suitcase behind us (we took the train to Seattle from Portland), having no idea where to grab some breakfast. Ever watchful for restaurants that seem to be a par above the rest, we spied Dahlia Bakery, and across the street we....ah....ran. A wonderfully helpful patron waiting to go in, said the food was worth the wait. I gave my husband full control over what I was to have, I sat outside with our "stuff." Soon he emerged with......are you ready.......the most wonderful English muffin, banana and walnut butter. OMG...........if we didn't have a train to catch, we would have stayed around for lunch, and then probably have had dinner at Dahlia Lounge (Tom Douglas has winners throughout Seattle). I wish I had time to see if I could buy the muffins to bring home. Bananas I got. Walnut butter I could figure out. But, those muffins. I need a towel...........

  • Melinda N.

    I used to go here so much it was actually embarrassing (until I finally learned how to pack a lunch). The tomato soup is delicious, as are the rolls (especially the potato). I also got sandwiches, but they used to be a much better deal, and they used to vary more. All the sweets are delicious. I do feel like its sort of overpriced on the whole.

  • H N.

    Dahlia Bakery can do no wrong. They have the mini-donuts with tart fruit spread. The eclairs are the last word in eclairs. Creamy but not overly sugary, fluffy yet ever so slightly crunchy. The savory breads are also stunning, and large enough for a meal.

    (5)

  • Frances T.

    I finally stopped by to try the bakery and what they say abou tthat coconut pie is true - its yummylicious. I normally am very pickly about coconut and this pie is very well done! I also tried the eclairs and the creamy center is amazing! Definitely worth a taste and visit.

    Since moving to B-town, I've made it my mission to try all the little places I'd walked (err, stumbled) by previously but never went into. First stop, Dahlia Bakery, yesterday after work. It IS a tiny space, perfect for grabbing-and-going. Not so great if there were lines (during lunch rush!), but at 5:30pm it was empty save for a charming old Italian lady (speaking Italian with the counter girl!). True story, I almost ordered the apparently famous coconut cream pie...but I went with a chocolate eclair and a large loaf of potato bread, for less than $10. The real value here was the bread -- it was fantastic later that night, with olive oil and vinegar, and I managed not to chow the whole thing in one sitting. :) The eclair, dear lord...dessert heaven! Perfectly sweet chocolate top, yummy vanilla bean filling, chewy pastry. I'll definitely be stopping in here to try more desserts and breads. Now if I could just save up enough dough to dine at Dahlia Lounge, I'd be all set in T. Douglas-land.

  • Alan J.

    One of the best breakfast sandwiches known to man can be found here. Egg Sandwich with Cheese and choice of Bacon, Pork or Veggie is $4.95 of pure heaven. Great spot for something fast if you don't want to dive in the madness at Lola's across the street on a Sunday morning.

    Dahlia, what a great treat you are!! I was visiting Seattle my first time and heard about the great Dahlia Bakery from friends. We went there for breakfast and was surprised that it is a super super tiny place. Standing room for about 6 petite size people. Ordered a English Muffin with egg, bacon, cheddar and arugula. OMG! I generally do not like english muffins but this was nothing like ur typical english muffin. Light and delicious. The combination of arugula with perfect amount of egg and great quality bacon. It was amazing!! Also got a oatmeal apricot cookie for a snack. I thought it was a bit pricey but once I bit into it that feeling went away. It was perfectly crispy on the outside but chew on the inside yet the cookie was thin. And combo of apricot and oatmeal was delicious. I wish I had one right now.

    I really enjoy their triple coconut creme pie. But it is so expensive. I only buy them during their happy hour, $1.50 per bite.

  • Tiffany S.

    When I picked up the coconut cream pie for my boss' birthday, I thought Tom Douglas had a lot of f*ckin' nerve charging $30 for a pie PLUS a $5 plate deposit (What? Is a foil pie plate too trashy for you, Tom????). Then I had a piece of said pie this afternoon and, oh my God. If I had a first born, I would promptly hand it over. Want a credit card? Some blood, a kidney? Sure thing. Seriously, one of the most amazingly delicious experiences of my life. AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE COCONUT CREAM PIE!!!!! Damn you, Tom Douglas.

    I grabbed an early morning treat here some months back. I was overwhelmed with my options, and ended up deciding on the apple dumpling. So yummy, with a nice doughy taste and nut butter hidden inside. I will definitely be back soon to check out the chocolate mint cookies and also the pistachio topped pastries. If you have not been here, and are in the neighborhood, stop on in and grab something delicious

  • Domenic S.

    My wife and I loved this place. We went on our aniversary for lunch. We are from california and my wife said we have to check out this place, it has all the types of food we love. It was rainning very bad and we wanted a sandwitch from the bakery but their was no seating in the bakery, so we asked if we could eat in their restaurant next door and they said yes. The service we received was top notch and because of that we orderd soup and sampled half their desert menu(yum). You need to check out the bakery and lounge next door.

    (5)

  • Dave S.

    wow, we went in here for a snack and got the fried egg muffin sandwich (fried egg, cheese and asparagus - they also had the option of having some meat in it), a mini coconut cream pie and an expresso chocolate eclair. The cakes were fantastic - so tasty and the sandwich was so good that we went back inside after we had eaten it and ordered another one. Will definately go back here!

    Today is New Year's Eve and I was thinking about what my New Year's resolution were going to be for '08. One of them was going to be to not eat junk food, but then I remembered the Dahlia Bakery and simply had to throw that resolution out the window. The baked goods here are to die for and the thing is I don't even like a lot of their main ingredients. For example, I don't like Coconut, but I love their Coconut Cream Pie. Same thing goes for their peanut butter cookies...I'm not especially fond of peanut butter, but love the cookie regardless. I think they must use crack as their secret ingredient or something because I'm hooked for life.

  • T K.

    Visited early morning, and was really hungry. Had an egg sandwich with bacon -- and that HIT THE SPOT! Over easy egg, gruyere cheese, and lots of bacon between a toasted, buttered crumpet. It was made to order, and HOT. Yumm! Took a couple of fig bars for the road... they are the best fig newtons ever! Highly recommend this for a quick bite -- can't wait to try it out again for lunch!

    (4)

  • C P.

    Dahlia, you made my lunch today. And my day. A filling cup of tomato soup with a crusty roll plus a coconut bite - for only $5.50. Less expensive and tastier than most lunch fare these days. Hooray!

  • Why T.

    BITE OF HEAVEN. that's what my friend and i call the coconut cream pie bite. it's so good. i've had the real slice of the pie in Dahlia Lounge, and i dont think it's as good. the bite is seriously... HEAVEN. other than that, it's ok. i've heard that they have really good donuts? bagel? one with a hole i think. i've never tried it though, so i cant say much about it. I have however, tried the chocolate chip cookie and it was disgusting. too sweet, i took one bite and i couldnt have more. why the four star? you ask? well, that's how AMAZING the bite of heaven is, er i mean coconut cream pie bite :P

    (4)

  • lynne n.

    The five stars are solely for the donuts. Fresher than fresh pillows of donut, shaken with cinnamon sugar, and dunked in a fluffy mascarpone cheese dip or jam. These gussied up donuts really are worth it. The only other rung I've tried here is a bite of the coconut cream pie, which I liked enough. It's not the star of this show, though.

    (5)

  • Janell C.

    We ordered egg muffins and coffee (they had Starbucks), and the muffin egg sandwiches were reaaaallllly good. The atmosphere outside was pleasant, and the little bakery has a large clientele of locals and visitors. After sitting a while we ordered the fresh super hot donuts (which came with extremely sweet jam and yummy cream). They were out of this world! Can't wait to go back tmrw morn ;)

    I have been meaning to come here for the longest time... although I know a baker there and have tasted some of the items, I finally crossed the threshold. We got 3 items, the cherry almond scone, fig bar and the bite size coconut cream pie. The scone was yummy, the fig is really fig-gy, and the pie... divine. I was sad they were out of pb cookies, but all the more reason to go back.

    The Ham Egg Sandwich is a perfection made for the Gods. Simply the best egg sandwich I have ever ate. Life will not get better than this breakfast. P.S. Don't get the Bacon, because it's only avg.

    Stupid expensive, and took forever to make a sandwich. I didn't think my sandwich was anything special, but I guess people love their baked goods. I just couldn't be that generous with my money to find out.

  • Dawn D.

    5 stars for the made to order donuts only Here I am writing a review to remind myself of what to get next time I'm in Seattle....a chocolate truffle cookie! I can't believe I walked out without buying one and I forgot to go back. Anyways, a friend of ours told us we HAD to try the "little donuts that you dunk in sauces." That we did. We were lucky the line wasn't too bad around 9a Friday morning and we bought 2 orders of donuts. Wow, I found 6 lil fresh donuts in my bag ready to be dunked in marscapone cheese and a blueberry sauce and devoured. OOOOH these donuts were just DEVINE! My bf and I sat outside at a table (weather was actually cooperating that morning) and saw the line growing and growing. p.s. I couldn't help but tell a couple in our Savor Seattle tour group that they HAD to try them. :)

  • Andy y.

    I was, understandably, quite hyped about trying this bakery out; the reviews on yelp were pretty great, the business seemed to be doing well, and what i could see from the window displays was tantalizing... so i went in today past 6 pm. i was prepared to be forgiving if i found the products a little lacking, since it was close to closing time. I see cookies. pastries. small pies/cakes for over $20. I decided to get a loaf of bread, similar to a baguette. $3.25. The girl working at the counter charges me $2.25, and I brighten, thinking she must be giving me a discount because it's close to closing time. I love it when local stores do that. Sadly, that is not the case. She frowns, tells me it's 3.25, not 2.25. I fork over another dollar. When I got home and inspected the bread, I found it hard, with a rather dry looking crust. Cutting into it, the insides seemed chewy and a little stale. Biting into it, it tastes the way it looks. Chewy and lacking in flavor. How underwhelming. I could have gotten a far better loaf of bread at Le Panier for less, and for better and friendlier service.

    My favorite Seattle bakery! The donuts are my first pick when we come to visit. I also love their peanut butter cookies and will be back to try their coconut cream pie.

    (5)

  • Stephanie T.

    Seriously, if you want to spend $2 for one of the best bites of your life, go for the baby coconut cream pie. Flavor, texture, presentation, the whole shebang is pretty friggin' unbelievable. Recommendation to Tom Douglas? 1) Start selling this pie at Serious Pie! I mean, the place is called Serious Pie and you own them both! Plus there really aren't a lot of pie places in town--Serious Pie would totally be *the* spot for all types of pie. 2) Is there any chance of adding banana cream pie to the menu? It seems so closely related to the coconut and, uh, I can't think of anywhere in Seattle better-suited to make it. Yum.

    (5)

  • Christine N.

    The cookies are really good. The coconut cream pie are supposed to be the best but you need to really like coconut. 3 stars just because although I think they're good, I don't think they're better than any other bakery I've tried.

  • Lizzy B.

    Nearly 6 months after the honeymoon, I'm still dreaming about Dahlia Bakery. Every morning, we'd wake up at our hotel (Hotel Andra) and rush across the street to load up on some of Dahlia's selection of delicious baked goods. Their quiche was dreamy. Their apple tarts were to die for. And now, from 500 miles away, I'm whispering "Dahlia, I wish I knew how to quit you."

  • Isabella O.

    I don't know about anything here other than the infamous TCCP. I had a single slice of pie for dessert when we dined at Lola in March and that was good. I ordered an entire pie for my son's birthday last week. It really and truly was incredibly delicious. At a total of $43.50, it's not something I'd buy all the time, but for a special occasion, it's fine. Because I did not have a good opportunity to go downtown that very day to pick the pie up, I had a friend who works nearby do it. This process was made much easier by the fact that I was able to call and pre-pay, thus holding the pie for pick up and eliminating the whole paying the friend back thing. I learned something really important from this experience regarding this pie, as well. Because I wasn't able to pick the pie up that day, I had called to inquire about picking it up earlier. I was told over the phone that it should last 2-3 days, but the crust might get soggy. I ultimately decided that if I was paying that much, I didn't want it eaten with a soggy crust, hence the friend pick-up. HOWEVER. The pie was picked up on Thursday and I ate the last piece Sunday - 3 days later - and the last piece was just as good as the first, no soggy crust. Good to know.

    The coconut cream pie truly lived up to the hype. I just got a pie bite, but after tasting it, wished I had bought a mini pie. Beware, I came here on a Friday afternoon and there were no pie bites left, so I had to go back the next day.

    (5)

  • Ha T.

    I was obsessed with Dahlia's donuts. For something that's supposed to be deep-fried, they're so light and fluffy in your mouth. And they go perfectly with the mascarpone and fruit dipping sauces. The bakery often "ran out of" donuts within hours, at which time the cashier helpfully directed us across the street to Lola, where they charged us $8 (plus tip) - for the same freaking donuts! The bakery was cramped with no indoor seatings. Their outdoor seating is ridiculous, since Seattle is cold and rainy 99.9% of the time.

    (4)

  • Kathleen J.

    WOW! OMG! I wish we had a Dahlia Bakery in the bay! This place should definitley be on every tourists' list of places to eat! It's only 2 blocks from the Monorail and its very walkable to Pike Place. So WORTH THE VISIT! My bf is not a big dessert fan but he and I absolutely fell in love with this place because of their fresh and warm donuts. They give you fresh cream and jam it was amazing. I also had the coconut cream pie bite (yay for having bite size pieces) and it was to-die-for. They have tables outside where you can enjoy your dessert and people watch Seattle. Love it!

    (5)

  • Laurel W.

    I am ruined for all other pie. RUINED! And I couldn't have had a better time accomplishing this! The triple coconut cream pie is heaven. Only better!! Subtle, creamy, sweet, and decadent all at the same time. Warning, it may be really difficult to share a slice! You may find yourself crossing that invisible line that divides your pie in half if you try to split it with a friend! Plus, happy hour from 4-6, Mon-Thurs....coco pie bites for only $1.00!!! (normally $2.50). Get yourself to Dahlia bakery pronto, although you may never again be able to appreciate normal pie!

    (5)

  • Cheri H.

    Stopped here on a rainy Saturday afternoon to grab a little bite. Went into the bakery, drooled over the pie, but my friend and I decided we might want to sit somewhere out of the rain and enjoy maybe an appetizer & a treat. We asked the clerk if we could get the coconut pie in the lounge next door, too and she said "sure" and we could head over there. Back out into the rain... only to find out the lounge was closed between 2pm and 5pm (it was around 4). In that time, a line formed at the bakery and we were waiting yet again. I secured the last slice of coconut pie from the case (yum! but suuuuuper creamy) and a couple of the chocolate praline sandwich cookies. Both were completely delicious, but a tad on the pricey end of things. The slice of pie was almost $7... but a decent size. What I don't understand is how they jump to charging $19 for a mini coconut pie that is just BARELY larger than the single slice. Sounds like I should be coming here at breakfast for those donuts... haha

  • Kaitlin F.

    I used to work just down the street from Dahlia for a short while a couple of years ago. I would stop in most mornings for either a small roll and butter or once a week i would get a croissant. They were so delectable. The rolls were always great, but the croissant tasted perfect. Not a soggy mass of butter, but still buttery, and crisp, especially if they were really fresh. Oh sadness, I miss having the chance to stop by each morning.

    (4)

  • Corinne W.

    Solid lunch spot for sandwiches or soup. Daliah Bakery always uses fresh excellent quality ingredients. Sandwiches are spendy but worth it as an indulgence. The breakfast english muffin sandwich is amazing and only $5 but it takes over five minutes to prepare. Worth it though, if you're not rushing to work. Sweets look good, but they are pricey, too, so I stick to the sandwiches.

    (5)

  • M Y.

    Another great Tom Douglas' creation. Great food and service- love their doughnuts and biscuits. I wish they had a little seating area other than the 2 tables outside, though.

    (4)

  • Tammy T.

    Had excellent cookies and a small "bite" of Tom's signature Coconut Cream Pie. There is no seating and very little room at the counter so be prepared to make your choice and go elsewhere to enjoy your goods. If you haven't had the little donuts you are seriously missing out. Be sure to get some if they haven't run out!

    (4)

  • Cabby C.

    Let me start off by saying that the donuts here are absolutely insane. It goes like this: Donut (holes): light, fluffy, no trace of grease, made to order + Whipped mascarpone: can eat this by the pintful + Blueberry compote: I was drinking it = ridiculousness We had it for breakfast and then came back 5 hours later and ordered a second batch for dessert. And don't forget to grab some chocolate truffle cookies on the way out...you will not regret it. Notable mentions: coconut cream pie which was pretty effing good too and a few others things that were also good.... point being this is a top notch eatery. Who said the carb industry is dead? Not these guys.

    (5)

  • Chipsie P.

    Overall the pastries are DEEEEELICIOUS but on the pricey side compared to other comparable excellent bakeries. Most of these delicacies tend to be at least slightly more expensive then elsewhere. A ONE BITE coconut pie is $2.50! But then good things come in small packages :0) The pastries are RICH and DENSE IN A WONDERFUL WAY! I love the FIG BARS (buttery with soft fig paste! YUM YUM YUM!) The ZUCCHINI MUFFINS are moist and dense yumminess! And OMG the BUTTERY CROISSANTS! Going back for them tomorrow! A couple of things though. I really didn't like the rhubarb eclair. It has just whipped cream filling and there's rhubarb syrup at the bottom (if it didn't say rhubarb I wouldn't know it was rhubarb syrup!) And I thought the banana walnut slices looked slightly over baked. Not sure... One star less for the above disappointment and the pricey part. Anyhow I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dahlia bakery, overall! DEFINITELY AMONG THE TOP ONES UP THERE! And the staff is pretty friendly. I also like some NICE TOUCHES that you don't necessarily get elsewhere such as nice paper napkins added to your bag of pastries and boxes with nice cute stickers on. IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA, YOU MUST STOP BY ;0)

    Creme brulee is my new thing, and I have been stalking the creme brulee cart guy around san francisco. so when I was in seattle visiting one of my besties gina at her furniture shop . I had to go get some creme brulee.. So when we were thinking on where to go, I also had this really big craving for their donuts, and said let's go to dahlia bakery.. I haven't been to dahlia bakery in forever!!! So we had to go.. ASAP!! so we drove down to dahlia bakery and looked around before we ordered our donuts.. But little did we know that the creme brulee at the window stole the show of any desire for those little donut holes.... and I was too impatient to wait for them to fry them so I chose the creme brulee instead.. and it was magnific!!! they torch it on the spot :) yeah for me!!! As for the donuts.. well let's just say I had dinner at lola and had to order the donuts for dessert! I must admit fresh baked anything is the best!!!! and the donuts were delightful.. too bad I need to go on a starvation diet for my tummy and my wallet.. eeekkkk

    I got a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and arugala on an English muffin. It was delicious! I don't normally care too much for English muffins but this was clearly made in their bakery and was very soft and fresh. It really was an amazing breakfast sandwich. The only downside to this place is the high pricing.

    That was the best eclair I have ever had. Period. Jeepers - the vanilla cream had actual flecks of vanilla in it; the chocolate ganache was so rich and creamy and just the right chocolate flavor; the pastry was delicate and crunchy and airy. Jeepers. I wanted it to last forever. And then there was the pear tart pastry with caramel sauce. I am a sucker for all things with pear and this did not disappoint. No, that's too much of an understatement. This thing is what I will measure all pear pastries against for the rest of my life! I thought the caramel sauce was superfluous ... and then I tried it. Uhhhhhh. And then there was the inconspicuous, the shy, the understated fig bar. Move over Newton, there's a new sheriff in town. And this sheriff is chock-full of so much figgy goodness that you will be regular for weeks. And what a lovely egg wash - can you do a better job with the egg wash? No, you can't. So beautifully glossy as to make me pause before handing it over to my toddler. You can't go there to eat - no tables inside. You can't go there for reasonable prices - $6 for pear excellence! What? You can't go there to swing a cat - there were two linebackers in front of me and they took up 1/2 the space. But you can definitely go to DB for some bitching baked goods: delicious and beautiful to boot.

    Sweet baby Jesus....their donuts are the best donuts I've ever had..no lie. My friend saw them featured on the Food Network Channel...and I love/hate her for introducing me to them. They are airy, pillowy donut holes rolled in cinnamon and sugar...so warm and fresh...but the best part is is that they give you a side of home-made apricot jam and some mascarpone...its the best combination. I also had their cherry salad...and it was really small and not that great...but the little baguette they give you with your salad is fresh and yummy too. The sandwich that the lady next to us was eating though looked pretty damn good....maybe next time.

    First Review in October 2010: The vodka cured sockeye salmon, shaved onion, tomato, herbed cream cheese & sprouts on onion is a very discussing and a lazy sandwich. Seriously I paid 8.50 for no effort at all. The fish had no flavor I might as well have been eating baby food and the tomato was not fresh. The only thing worth eating was the bread with the herbed cream cheese & sprouts. This was just horrible. 2nd Review in January 2011 Man you guys are losing points. I do like the Caesar salad you guys have. It WAS amazing. I would even spend the extra 4 dollars on the tofu you guys have, which is great! However, I just got a Caesar salad and you guys changed the salad dressing. It was nasty. I even tried to stir it and the oil and egg or whatever you put in there still separated. Gross. And what is a Caesar salad without croutons... it's not. So good job again guys... you lost more points. I will say though that your staff is very pleasant. The reason why I go there is because your people are nice, smart, welcoming and the cookies rock. Usually, other things do too, but this time, nope.

    If I'm going to support any Tom Douglas joint, this will be it. After being seriously let down at Serious Pie, I headed here to try the donuts. Sold out :( We settled for two pieces of foccacia bread (since our meal at Serious Pie hardly filled us up...I'm starting to think that's not on purpose) and two cupcakes, whose flavors I can't remember. One was crazy chocolately and one was buttermilky. Regardless, they were delicious and I would definitely return. Hopefully the donuts won't be sold out but hey, I'll settle for some cookies, macaroons, or pie. Maybe a giant loaf of olive ciabatta bread? The sandwiches sounded great also, and very reasonably priced. Ugh, should have just ate lunch here. I hate you, Serious Pie!!

    The Best bread in Seattle!!! So good on my last day there I went and bought a loaf of wheat sourdough bread. The bakery is small but has awesome service and delicious bread. Dahlia's also has a spread of cakes, muffins, cookies and cakes. The best part is that it is super cheap. Verdict: I will return next time I'm in Seattle.

    My friend and I came here after we found out that Lola's wasn't open for food yet. All we wanted were these famous donuts I saw on Food Network. Giada knows how to sell a donut! We went in, it's a bit small, but worth it. We decided to also try something else too since we were there. I got the peanut butter cookie...this is no oridinary peanut butter cookie...it's a peanut butter cookie sandwich, with...PEANUT BUTTER filling!! How have I not thought of this? It was amazing to say the least. The donuts were also pretty bomb, we all loved the marscapone cream sauce, we all pretty much wanted to eat a spoonfull of just that. I'm really not in Downtown Seattle all that often, but the thought of that peanut butter cookie goodness keeps calling my name :)

    "You are just positively giddy!" said the young lady behind the counter. I had just walked in - and feasted my eyes on the most glorious dessert selection I've ever seen. The triple coconut creme pie, the fancy cupcakes, the wall of cookies, and, best of all - the S'mores pie with the graham cracker crust. Oh, so decadent and dreamy. Who wouldn't be positively giddy? I wanted to buy one of everything. Oh, and it was hard not to. But I'm a gal watching her waistline and her wallet, so I had to stop somewhere. I only ordered four. And oh, they were so good. Especially the S'mores concoction. I still dream about it. When I studied literary criticism, we often talked about the "form" being the most excellent version of anything that could exist; so good that it was the best chair God could imagine or the best kiss He could imagine.These pastries - they were the form of pastries. And as such, they were oh, so worth their collective impact on both of my "bottom lines."

    Kinda small, quaint. Wanted to try something other than the famed coconut creme pie, which is good. But this is about everything else.... Sadly, no cannolis. Oh well, but plenty of other good treats like Potato & Olive Oil loaves, coconut macaroons and chocolate truffle cookies. Don't get me wrong, being a former fat guy, it all taste great, but you can get a lot of these types of baked goods from other local bakeries as well. It's not like Dahlia Bakery blows other places out of the water.
