Temple Pastries - Maltkiln Lane

Delicious pastries but not worth the fact that workers are treated extremely poorly. Turns out you can’t take 1 sick day off when there is a death in the family. Pathetic, especially when they call themselves “temple” pastries. Not even any condolences or warnings, just immediate termination. What a fraud, and your employees deserve SO much better.

Worth the hype I haven't had a pastry I didn't like and have visited at least 20 times. Only note: skip the breakfast sandwiches (not their forte) and get one of the croissant quiches instead. Delicious!

A high quality bakery and coffee shop with tables to enjoy. I ordered the cardamom brioche, and it was delightful! Perfect amount of cardamom and sweetness, so buttery. In the morning it seems like most people come here to chat, but there were also people working on their computers as well.

There is a great risk and great reward in going super high end and innovative. I say that because that describes Temple Pastries.Exhibit 1: Fig Oat "Cookie "I bought the Fig Oat Cookie and I was left disappointed. Supplanting the raisins with figs did not work out. Scaling the cookie did not work either. The Fig Oat cookie had none of the crystalline crust of a cookie, none of the expected sugar punch. This was a mini muffin.The crossiant was stellar. As good as you will get in the Pacific Northwest.

One of the best pastry places in Seattle. Both their savory and sweet pastries are unbelievable. I also had their baguette and their coffee, which too were amazing. Great vibe place with lots of seating. Highly highly recommended.
