Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery

This is a great place. It's right next to Starbucks, but why go to a national chain we you can support a local business that turns out good coffee and excellent home-made bread and pastries? I'm chowing down right now on their ham and cheese breakfast croissant that I just picked up this morning and brought back to my hotel room and it motivated me to write this review. What a delicious savory breakfast treat. And I got a piece of carrot cake to enjoy on the road back home

We love the goodies here. If you’re looking for a quick healthy lunch item or a loaf of bread for the week or a delectable pastry and cappuccino - they’ve got it. Wrap that up with a really nice owner in a convenient location and there you have it! We enjoy stopping by here! The molasses cookies might be my favorite!!

I hate to give this place two stars but need to be honest. The idea of an "artisan bakery" inspires images of goods lining the walls and the smell of fresh baked pastries. This place is the size of a broom closet and has a small collection of bales options, excluding many of the most popular. Their espresso is automatic and coffee is kept in a press down bunn. They have a couple small tables outside with views of the hill, however they're in a strip mall facing a main street. The chocolate croissant was decent and the cashier was very pleasant. The coffee, as expected had little flavor. +Nice customer service, baked good was decent. -Tough location, very limited assortment, no legitimate coffee pairing option.

Forget the rest. Just eat & shop here. But go early for first crack at all the scratch-made pastries, cookies, blueberry pie, fruit danish, raspberry & lemon cheesecake...you get the idea. We're coming back tomorrow morning before we leave to pick up some sandwiches & breakfast burritos (with hash browns) -- tortillas also made from scratch -- for our long drive home. Lovely lady behind the counter went out of her way to answer our questions & help us decide. Try the local coffee. It's the strongest we've ever had. They close at 3 pm & are the only real bakery in town.
