Latte was just warmed milk and try to find a coffee in it:)) Pastries look fine(did not buy), but this is not stop for a coffee definitely. Just pay more attention to drinks, please.

Every experience Ive had with the owners have been wonderful. Very pleasant couple. The Pastries are fantastic. We ordered the Taiwanese Bread 24 piece is a must try. Going to order again for Thanksgiving ❤️

Unpretentious, quiet, bright cafe and bakery. Great service in a very clean environment. Baked goods were fresh, meticulously displayed, and delicious, albeit a little too crispy for my taste. My cafe mocha was perfect the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate, served at a manageable temperature. A place to relax and chat with friends or for solitude.

As good as all the other reviews say. The pistachio croissant was shatteringly crisp, perfectly laminated, and filled with warm, gooey pistachios. Like your favorite baklava married your favorite croissant.

This coffee shop was really cute and everything I ordered was delicious! I got the iced matcha green tea latte with half the sugar, a strawberry cream scone, and a cheddar chive scone. It was a bit pricier than some other places for the pastry items but still worth checking out.

Wonderful boba milk tea! I would definitely come back and maybe adjust me sweetness. Friendly staff and clean new looking cafe. Their pastries looked delicious and I would need to try that as well next time!

First off you can smell the deliciousness wafting from the street. They really dont need a sign. Delightful and light milk teas (Im lactose intolerant, but the tea is well worth the trouble, because it is perfectly balanced) and adorable little cakes packaged with care.

Oh my God. I dont usually review places but I loved this place so much. I got the 8 oz. white chocolate mocha and it came with a fern drawn in it. It was some of the best coffee Ive ever had. I also got a BLT sandwich that was a little steep in price but delicious nonetheless. There isnt Wi-Fi but maybe I missed it... The atmosphere is nice with few people and music that doesnt blare in your ears; loud enough to fill the silence without forcing you to shout.

Very well cleaned and managed social distancing. The pastries are fabulous! We took the family of 6 to pick up breakfast and had a few different savory and sweet croissants and scones and cookies. Our favorites were the chive and cheddar scone and the salmon croissant. The chocolate chip cookies were good, but were a tad bit overdone that morning. I wouldnt recommend the drinks. The vanilla drink just tasted like warm milk with vanilla extract. The hot chocolate tasted like frothy Hersheys syrup.

Wonderful cafe with very nice and attentive people. Had Boba Black Tea that was delicious! And Pumpkin Cream Cheese loaf that was also delectable. It was a great atmosphere for studying too and the tunes were awesome!

Review №14

We got green milk tea, Okinawa milk tea, and hot chocolate. They were all good, and they were sensible enough to ask us if they should make the hot chocolate not as hot for our toddler. Very friendly, nice and neat modern interior, and good drinks. Highly recommended

Great atmosphere! My wife amd I went here on a date this morning and had a great time. It would be a great place to go with girlfriends or daughters. The baked goods are very affordable, and delicious. If I could give 6 stars, I would. They also have boba tea.The only negative I can say is that the music didnt really fit the atmosphere. They played 3 Doors Down, Green Day, Trapt, etc. It was sorta fun and throwback, though, so I didnt mind haha. My wife said it was a plus!

Seems surprising for the location, but straight up of the best croissants in the world, definitely the best we’ve had in Seattle. The pistachio croissant is an amazing treat as well, easy to share.

Very cozy cafe and the place is super clean. I had breakfast with friends here and the food is delicious! I am also happy to find out Rila bakery is offering assortment pastries box and free delivery in Lynnwood Edmonds area with purchase of $35. Their croissant has perfect crust and taste. What a delicious treat!

Super friendly staff. The items they make are awesome. They taste fresh and are very flavorful. The items they bake rotate a little so it is always wise to go in frequently to see what new items they have for that day.

Review №23

Love, love, LOVE this place. I’m pretty sure they know my face pretty well by now because I come here with my family every weekend to every other weekend, as well as by myself on some week days. I just can’t help myself! A clean environment (minus the foggy windows) with delightful staff, delicious coffee/tea and milk tea beverages, delicious sandwiches, and delicious pastries all around. And always fresh! I don’t think I’ve tried a single thing there that I haven’t liked. My only complaint is that I’d love for them to make fruit tarts but I’ve yet to see any be done. They’re my absolute favorite!

Fantastic baked goods. Wide variety of flavors, both sweet and savory. The coffee runs a little sweeter than other places, but has great flavor! I recommend trying a few different options, especially their specialty drinks.

Review №28

So refreshing to see some new digs in Edmonds that dont remind me of the 00s. The food, the decor, the staff, and the service are all a great experience at Rila. Similar to Seattles Fuji bakeries but with way more tables and easier parking via strip mall parking lot. I had to have the Portuguese egg tarts two days in a row, and I like that they only specialize in a few flavors of bubble teas and do them well. Will definitely be trying their sandwiches and soon. This place is already a home run.

Chocolate Mousse was delicious as well as the earl gray milk tea. The cafe is really clean and the staff are friendly. Everything was pretty reasonably priced however the had no music on at all. It made it seem kind of awkward to me, not sure if it’s normal or just for our visit time. Overall great cafe just needs a little music or something

Review №38

Fantastic bakery with great pastries and drinks. The Okinawa milk tea was really good with a nice distinct flavor. Mushroom, onion, Gruyere cheese croissant was also fantastic! We also got a regular chiffon cake and black sesame chiffon cake. Was very light and fluffy and the flavor was also similarly light. Would like to return and try more pastries. The location itself is a modern look with open space and lots of natural lighting. Just off of 196th so its near the main road, but in a much less busy area

Rila was a very cute bakery with great cakes and delicious tea options. Didnt try the coffee but it smelled good. It would be great if they had some soft surfaces because everyones voice kind of echoed but other than that, it was nice and I would go back!

Review №42

The baked goods are tasty. A tad pricey for how small they are, and the selection is limited. The coffee is meh. They are really the only bakery in the area so they are not a bad option if youre in the neighborhood and just want a quick scone/croissant/etc.

Excellent food, excellent coffee, excellent pastries. Friendly staff. Nice layout, color and choice of tables, chairs, wall coverings.Could use a few softer edges (couch or chair) to help the environment. However, I will return. :)

This is hands down our favorite bakery to visit. We moved farther away and still go the extra distance just to eat their pastries. Not only are they absolutely delicious the owners are the nicest people you could ever meet. Definitely worth checking out!!

Review №46

Finally.I wonder often how any one coffee shop in the over-served Seattle coffee scene can differentiate itself from its many competitors. Just about the lot of them start with more similarities than differences: excellent and yummy coffee, tasty food and treats, plenty of comfortable seats (with tables to work on at length, should you choose to linger), and a friendly ambiance.Rila Bakery & Cafe adds a new dimension, a startling design ethic that differs dramatically from other coffee houses; contemporary but with none of the chill such style can provoke. Rila is warm and welcoming; open, bright, and inviting. I could, rather effortlessly, linger for hours.Rila also is the type of cafe Edmonds needs, even yearned for, without perhaps having realized the lack. One visit should convince you to frequent Rila to enjoy its tasty goodies and ambiance. We shared an extraordinary coffee cake, very light on sugar which served to enhance its flavor -- and then fought over which of us would eat the crumbs that remained. Next visit we will order two of each item!

Ive eaten here several times, and I feel bad for not rating the place before now... but after today not telling the world would be a crime. Today, I had the Churro Croissant.To call it good is to call the sun a bit on the warm side or to call the ocean a tad moist. Im going to tell everyone I know about this culinary masterpiece of edible artwork. The balance of flavors and textures of the cinnamon, the smooth butterscotch filling, and the flaky dough have forever ruined both Cinnabon and Werthers candies for me in the best way possible.Pairing it with an iced Hokkaido milk tea made for a culinary experience that the owner could probably get away with charging 5 times as much for (and Im glad they dont).Seriously. Try it. (Also try everything else on display, its fantastic).

3 stars for chocolate mousse $4. The chocolate wasnt rich enough for me. I like that whipping cream was light. Right sweetness.4 stars for matcha and red bean pound s cake. I love the texture. It is in between cookies and muffin. Good amount of green tea in the cake. Wish the out more red bean.3.5 stars pear croissant. It is good but not thing special. The croissant was flaky but not crisp. Theater gave a big piece of pear on top which I like. The pastry cream was good and light.4.5 stars matcha latte with pudding. I love the green tea very rich. Not too sweet. But the pudding was just ok. Btw, they put too much ice (almost half of th2.5 sename chiffon $6. Bland and boring. The chiffon was soft and light. The cake was top with sesame whipped cream and decorated with little chocolate chips. This cake has potential to make it good. They could have added more things to make this cake have more taste5 stars double bakes pistachio croissant. One of the most crispy croissant I have had. Not overly sweet. The filling is good. Generous amount of pistachio on top. Will buy this again.

Rila is a wonderful neighborhood bakery, but also a great cafe/coffee shop with plenty of seating (both tables and window bar) and quality Wi-Fi. I dont know for sure, but I think its a family-run business. The staff are exceptionally friendly, to be sure. I love their pastry selection which goes great with their super smooth coffee drinks. (Lattes and bearclaws are a match made in heaven!). Rilas is a comfortable place to enjoy with friends, family, read, or even study for school.

Excellent quality Pastries, Croissonts were Flaky and perfectly airated, had a Garlic roll which was probably the most perfectly seasoned pastry ive ever tasted, Cookies were also perfectly baked. Also the coffee is delicious, good quality syrups with an earthy aftertaste, the cups are aesthetic as well as the bags and everything was individually wrapped, good customer service and the lady brought the drinks to us :) 10/10 would go again, on par with 85° Bakery

Great pastries! Coffee was lovely - perfectly balanced with the syrup. Had really great honey lavender panacotta - it was rather divine. They dont rush you out of here; the atmosphere is very laid back. The baristas DO lack a bit of charm - smile and engage, people! You are serving sugar and caffeine to the masses and we want to love you! Only reason they didnt get 5 stars. A little more eye contact will make me not feel like I am a serial killer/unclean... LOL
