Big bakery with a lot to offer from french viennoiserie to danish pastries, as well as sandwiches.I had a roast beef open face sandwich and it was very delicious, fresh ingredients and gourmet flavor. Their croissants are good too, not as flaky as I liked but it smells good and the size is generous.Service was friendly. There are a few small tables outside on the street.

One of my favorite bakeries in Seattle - its under the radar but not really (by which I mean its not on a ton of food media lists but its quite busy regardless). Ive never had a bad pastry here. Do know that while the pastries might seem a little pricey, theyre very big so youd be smart to share them or just eat half at once

Solid selection of Scandinavian breads, pastries, cookies, and cakes. Staff is also super friendly and helpful! Love their Princess cake and the Lemon Lavender Cake! Masks still required in the bakery. 👍

One of those local hole-in-the-wall bakeries with reliable fresh baked goods, pastries, and hot drinks. You’ll find regulars there from the surrounding Queen Anne neighborhood and on weekends visitors traveling from out of the city stopping by. My favorites - any croissant, apricot mazarin tart

Fun little bakery with some classic Scandinavian treats! They also have a lot of other treats. Location is very tough to get to but worth checking out if youre in the mood for something tasty!

Amazing baked goods! The prices are fair and the cookies are delicious!Highly recommend the Blood Orange Sorbet Lemonade!

Absolutely wonderful pastries that are the best Ive ever tasted.Social distancing and face masks required. If you do an online order, it will be bagged/tagged with your name and on the table by the door for easy pickup. You can be in and out quickly this way. Thanks?

My second time visiting them. The store is pretty small but well-organized. On the right side of the store, closest to the entrance, is the traditional Scandinavian breads (mostly wheat, rye, and molasses-based) and coffee breads. In the middle of the store behind glass are cookies and some other breads. The portion furthest from the door are the tarts and cakes, which is probably what theyre best-known for, including the princess cake.Whole cakes are $40-60, which may be typical for small bakery cakes, but Im not sure. I ordered a seasonal lavender lemon cake last year for a birthday. Aesthetically, it was very pleasing and the aroma and taste were wonderful. They also give you the option of an icing message on the cake. Would get again on special occasions.This time, I got a baguette and croissant. The croissant was $4 which is typical in this area. However, its the biggest croissant Ive ever seen. Obviously, the inside is porous (see pictures), but thats just a sign of the bread having risen. Among other Seattle croissants Ive tried, this croissant was subtly sweeter and less buttery. I think it struck a great balance between fermenting which I think helped give it sweetness and inner porosity, and flakiness from the laminated butter. Because this croissant wasnt so buttery, it was very light and I was able to eat it in one sitting, which hasnt been my experience with other, French-style croissants here. If it were warmer or fresh out of the oven, I think this would have been the best croissant Ive had in Seattle for the taste, texture, and value. I highly recommend it.The rosemary and sea salt baguette was nice and chewy and aromatic. Flavorful, but not yeasty. At $4.50, it was an okay value.They sell coffee, too, but I think its a bit pricey when you consider that there are cafes in the area that specialize a bit more in coffee drinks. They seem to get their beans from Fonté, which is local in Seattle. They also have some ceramics and goods from local Scandinavian artists/craftspeople.I definitely recommend visiting this place at least once. You cant go wrong with anything you get.

To say I’m obsessed with this bakery would be an understatement. By far one of the cutest spots I’ve been to in Seattle and even more so because of its unassuming spot on Nickerson.Amazing chai tea and the best chocolate cake (outside of my Mother-In-Laws)... oh and the cookies! So tasty, their big cookie can feed a small army.The staff is super friendly and really knowledgeable on everything they offer.Definitely worth a visit and will be swinging back soon!

They made us a lovely and delicious birthday cake! We requested lemony and the flavors were wonderfully balanced. The cake looked lovely & tasted amazing! The quality of the actual cake was great, so were the delicate little macaroons on top. This is now our go-to place for cakes and I look forward to exploring their other offerings.

Delicious treats. Expertly baked. Great staff.

Byen Bakeri is unparalleled in Seattle and the Puget Sound area. Heavenly pastries, cakes and cookies. Superb coffee and drinks. Friendly & excellent service.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Do yourself a favor, and just go here. Everything we tried was good. The cream puff was excellent (lots of body to the whipped cream). The cheese/jalapeno bread is great (its on a shelf on the wall, so just ask for it). If you are an SPU student, just treat yourself. You deserve it!

Loves it! If you like Scandinavian eats.. make sure to stop in and grab something

Been hunting for a cheese Danish and this is one of the few spots that has em! One of the best danishes Ive had !

Very good pastry flavor -- I think they use good butter. The pastries are also pretty balanced in their sweetness; of course some are more sweet than others but I dont think they go overboard, which is good. The croissants are flaky and the layers are light and distinct, and most importantly, they arent burnt. I recommend this bakery!

First time patron; met promptly and warmly by Mia. She offered recommendations and quickly took order, while patiently waiting for us to decide. Food was delicious, both the sandwiches and scrumptious baked treats. Will definitely return!! Thanks, Mia :)

The atmosphere of this bakeri was lovely. The customer service was excellent.I asked for a recommendation and ended up with some of the most delicious sweets.I got a slice of the lemon and lavender cake. It was delicious! The flavors worked so well together and neither flavor was overpowering.

There are so many delicious treats it makes it difficult to choose. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.

Got a small cake for my girlfriends birthday and it was fantastic. She said it was the best cake shed ever had. Since we were only visiting the city for her birthday and were flying out the next morning Id come to terms with most of the cake going to waste... Well one bite and we decided to check a bag so we could fly home with the cake as a carry-on.

Absolutely delicious. Try the cream puff or marzipan raspberry baked good. Ive heard the Danishes are great, but they run out fast.

Our favorite Seattle bakery. We love their lavender lattes.

We went around 3:00 PM and there werent many baked goods left. We ordered an eclaire, the whiskey pecan tart, chocolate ganache, snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookie. The cookies were HUGE and really good (our favorite). The tart was good, the ganache and eclaire were OK. The staff was nice, the interior was pretty standard for a bakery. Prices were fair. Id go back.

We were so excited to come here since we are from Denmark. We are a family with 3 kids so 5 of us. They currently have a rule of 6 people can enter, so that mean that others were waiting in a small line because of us. We bought for $50 of baked goods and before we even got our order the female cashier who was apparently bothers by us taking up the store of 6 policy, yells out to an other customer who is asking if they can come in, “ as soo as these people get out of here” in a degrading voice looking right at me and my kids!!! I left right then and the other kind cashier had to run out after us to give us 2 more boxes full. I have never been yelled at in a store before and she will be the reason we will not come back! Not kid friendly! The baked goods were okay, the cold ones were not fresh and definitely been frozen and re thawed. Not how the Danes would do it.

Great food and service! There was a miss communication on my sandwhich order and the remade the sandwhich right away.

Awesome fresh bakery, great and variety options to choose from.

Huge variety of fresh baked goods from breads to cakes to cookies. Serves excellent coffee too. The pastry sizes are huge and the guy at the counter was so helpful. I am definitely going back for breakfast and brunch. Parking was a little challenging but it was totally worth it.

Cute bakery with tasty treats! I had a great Pear Almond Danish (the seasonings were particularly tasty), Eclair (pastry was slightly burnt, but the filling and chocolate was good), and lemon pinch (tasted like good lemon shortbread). I will be back to try more.

Ive been here several times and have devoured everything I ordered. Excellent breakfast sandwiches, and the pastries and cakes are equally beautiful as they are delicious. The weekender is a cinnamon bun topped with maple glaze with or without bacon. They have a wide variety of breads, cookies, and almond paste and almond flavored pastries, as well. Excellent selection of coffee and specialty late flavors such as the cardamom latte as well.

I Adore this bakery! They have a variety of lots of tasty treats and they even have a lunchbox! The cafe here is awesome as well :) Prices are fair and affordable.

Impressive bakery! Every sweet thing you could reasonably hope for, including cakes, croissants, puffs and eclairs, tarts, cookies, bread, quiche, and so much more. Not much privacy for chatting but plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and incredible baked goods. Very clean facility; staff always seem to be cleaning something. Would be nice if the Square register were accessible to little people without them needing to grab a chair to stand on to reach.

I have been visiting this bakery for about a year now and they have delicious, flaky pastries every morning. They make a great spicy dirty chai! Staff is always so pleasant, and very helpful. Sometimes they bake with foods I’ve never eaten and staff always give me an accurate description of the flavors before I purchase. Thanks Byen for being great!

This place is never a disappointment. Brings back memories of bakeries in Stockholm.

Absolutely LOVE this spot. The pastries are literally to die for, using traditional european methods that remind you of home. Also the coffee is really well done. Currently still not seating so must get takeaway, but it is well worth it! So delicious.

Fresh bread and pastries. Consistent and professional since day one! Make sure to stop in early or you might be sorry!

Friendly staff and good food, with a reasonable wait time for sandwiches. Went with the caprese and wasnt disappointed, although the difference between a half sandwich and a full sandwich is the difference between being hungry and having way too much food.

We just moved into the neighborhood and had to make a stop at this adorable bakery! I know it’s going to be a regular for us - the coffee and pastries were both delicious (especially this huge almond pastry!!!), and everything was $1-2 dollars less than I would expect based on other Seattle prices. Can’t wait to support this business more!

This place is fabulous ! Clean, delicious baked goods, great coffee ! Love it ! Its become a place I stop at least two mornings a week on my commute into the city !

Love this place so much! Such an amazing find next to our house. My husband is from Norway so he especially appreciates the Skolebrod. Everything is delicious though. I also love their lemon lavender cake, breakfast croissants, cookies, coffee & tea. Staff is very helpful & nice as well.

On a nice day we love a Byen Bakeri Caprice on their scrumptuos baguette and go down to the ship canal, sit, and enjoy while watching boatss go by.

This is our favorite family bakery. We buy all our birthday cakes here. Their frosting and fillers are very well made in house and dont taste fake. Order ahead as they can get busy. They also have a nice selection of pastries on display and make some wicked bread

Great bakery!

Why is this the best bakery ever? Their chocolate croissants are amazing, their almond croissant is a little too heavy but the flavor is perfect. The sandwiches are delicious, there’s one with cardamom mayo which is amazing! I have tried most of their offerings, my recommendations are the classic chocolate croissant, the plain croissant, ham and cheese croissant, chocolate boller (filled with creme), and the Marion berry cheese danish! This has to be the best bakery in Seattle, I’ve been searching for one better than Byen but still have yet to find one.

Ive wanted to visit Byen Bakeri for awhile but dont go out to this part of Seattle very often. Luckily I found myself in the area on a Sunday and popped in. I was kindly greeted by an employee and then found myself amongst a multitude of pastries, breads, and cakes. Ive been to other Scandinavian places in Seattle as well as some Scandinavian countries and I liked what I saw at Byen Bakeri. They had many pastries, croissants, cookies, cakes, tarts, baguettes, round loaves, etc. They also were offering smorrebrod sandwiches. The décor was simple but handsome with some dark walls and bright yellow accents. It was very reminiscent of Scandinavian aesthetics. I ended up getting a butterhorn with maple drizzled over it, an almond chocolate croissant, an almond horn, and some thumbprint cookies. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the thumbprint cookies with the rich cookie and the tart and sweet raspberry jam. The butterhorn was also really tasty and lived up to its name with the flaky and buttery texture. I had a great experience with Byen Bakeri and will be back soon. I have my eye on cardamom buns, some bread, and some cakes.

Awesome food! Very fortunate to live close to this bakery

Always liked this place, but over the last year they have improved and they are stellar. Their traditional Nordic patisserie is heavenly!

Reasonable price,yet excellent quality. Cream puff, spinach and cheese croissant and tomato and basil Quiche tried. Quiche was so good.

Certainly one of the fanciest bakeries in Seattle. Huge variety of cakes and pastries from the indulgent to the delicate. Craft coffee also available, twisted fabulous with my pastries to go!

Was told to wait outside for my coffee i ordered...a few minutes later I realized I was forgotten about as people are walking out with coffees...I walked back in and the girl who told me to wait outside in the rain said she had been calling my name....thanks for not even apologizing

Ohhhh. Princess cake! Finally we have a Swedish bakery like Bageriet in London. Cardamom bread! Ohhhhh.

Really cute bakery. Their pastries are great. I really like their butter croissant.

Well.. if you love butter cream, that is what you are going to get. The sponge was good, but it was so full of sugary butter cream, that is all that you can taste.

Truly fantastic. Their danishes are unreal

I had a delicious marionberry pastry here.

Excellent quality pastries and cakes. Expensive but worth it.

Not really my kind of place I suppose. I ordered a pastry and it was too sweet for me. I ordered chai tea and didnt like it so much either.Not really the fault of the business, it just didnt match my taste.

Cute spot. The Danish pastries were decent but much sweeter than authentic Danish pastries. Their croissants were surprisingly delicious and their sugar cookies were a bit dry. Hit or miss, but I still keep going back

Tasty, but a bit on the expensive side. Most of the staff are cordial, though there is 1 gal who can seem a bit pushy, making one feel rushed... Might be the manager or owner, not sure. Personally, I go to a cafe to slow down & relax, not feel rushed/pushed, so I stopped visiting.

Makes me miss Norway. Highly recommend the Cardamom Latte

70$ for a ganache cake that is too sweet. It has a ton of sugar in it. You could not taste anything else but sugar. Could not eat it, ended up throwing it away. ☹️

This place is amazing. I deeply regret not having gone sooner, weve lived in the area for a bit, and now we go every Sunday morning. Theyre croissants are beautiful mountains of buttery deliciousness and their danishes are the size of a childs face, so come hungry! We cant wait to try everything in the case!

Five stars for Byen Bakeri’s amazing Scandinavian pastries, and one star for me driving past it almost daily for a year without bothering to stop. I regret all of the pastries I didn’t have. Live your best life, there’s no time like the present.

Incredible Scandinavian baked goods, everything from bread to pastries and cakes. Their cardamom latte is everything on a cold winter morning. Very prompt service, good COVID-19 precautions, and some small Scandinavian-themed gifts for sale by local artists as well.

Always excellent selections of baked goods. One of my favorites.

Great pastries but drinks need more variety. Customer service is alright but staff need to be more personable and welcoming.

They have so many kinds of pastries, I couldnt choose!!

Knew it was going to be good. That was GREAT.

Very clean and quick service even though they are currently limited to six customers at a time. Everything I have ever gotten here is delicious!

I have got to say one thing. BEST DRIP COFFEE I HAVE EVER HAD. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

I love the Marionberry cream cheese danish. I was there to get princess cake for my daughters birthday. Their coffee is great also. And.....at christmas time get an assortment of cookies......you will not be disappointed.

This is a truly superb and different bakery. The baguettes are absolutely delicious and different from the traditional French style baguettes that you would find at Nouveau, Tall Grass and Columbia City (all of those are great, BTW). If you like a ham and cheese sandwich, you must try theirs. Love this place! Fantastic fruit tarts as well.

Lovely place with even lovelier pastries! I take friends and visitors here for the semlor and a princess tårta!

Amazing pastries! The almond apricot torte was incredible! In a great area by the Ship Canal. Well keep coming back.

Its amazing!!!! The danish with cardamom is my fav thing ever. Worth a visit to Fremont for this.

Beautiful cakes and delicious pastries and their sandwich combo is huge enough that two people can easily share.

Absolutely delicious. Coffee and pastries are both top notch. Try the lingon berry Danish and the chocolate croissant

The Poppy Croissant was delicious and sweet!Great selection of baked goods and coffee with indoor and outdoor seating.

There is nothing here that tastes bad. In fact, it all tastes amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good coffee as well. A lovely neighborhood bakery

Everything. Is. Yummy. My dads side of the family is Swedish, so I appreciate all of the special treats they offer. The coffee is also tasty!

Deserts are on point a bit pricey but quality cost. Sandwiches are awsome..bread is to die for..

Incredible bakery! I especially like the Danish pastries and breakfast sandwiches.

Great bakery. Cant go wrong. Wide selection.

A gem hidden on the Main Street! Terrific coffee drinks, amazing varieties of bread and authentic Norwegian pastries. Bustling place with regulars and a perfect place to meet friends for coffee and things. Cozy and comfy neighborhood bakeri with amazing aroma coming out of the Owens behind the counters. Byen it is! Love pastries and variety of breads from this place.I had asked friends to stop by and pick some baguettes on the way to my home. They did. In the process they fell in love with pastries and breads here! Busy bakery along the ship canal not too far from the bike trail. A perfect stop- anytime of the day. Discover, Explore and Treat yourself!

Fantastic, they have tebirkes!

Their princess cake is delicious

Ordered some Scandinavian specialties for Christmas and ended up leaving with a lot more. The Weekender (Maple bacon), cinnamon roll, a few other pastries including some type of Nordic berry marzipan dessert that was divine. Everything we picked up was delicious.

Everything I’ve tried here is great. Top notch. A little pricier than other bakeries I’ve been to, but I would say it matches the level of quality. Also their carrot cake is amazing and very rich.

#amazing

This bakery is with travelling to. Authentic Scandinavian delights.

Great assortment of beautiful looking pastries. Everything looked really good and if youre looking for a good dessert, Byen could be the ticket.

Some very delicious cheese Danish here

Excellent Danish bakery (with other Scandinavian pastries). Things may sell out fast, though, especially on weekends. Got a large ad of apricot coffee cake to take home. There are a couple small tables outside. Wish they could add a couple more.

Great Scandinavian bakery that also has baggettes, and croissants.

Great pastries but don’t respond when there are problems (sandwiches are consistently stale).

They’re cinnamon rolls are smothered in frosting, not traditional and very dry. They don’t warm up your treats and very very over priced

Try the danishes. Bread is good too.

Great service, and one of a kind delicious treats! Only wish I lived within walking distance.

Their chocolate thumbprints are to die for. I could eat them everyday.

Surprisingly well priced for the quantity, the croissants are HUGE and delicious. Ate them too fast to click a picture. Tree roll and chocolate ganache were a little meh

Scandinavian baked goods, whatever you crave. Always people here. Nice atmosphere & friendly staff
