Grateful Bread

These are my favorite bagels in Seattle. The seeded bagels have generous coatings of the freshest poppy or sesame seeds.\t\n\t\nThe bagels are dense and chewy, and somewhat moist. \t\n\t\nThere is far more here than bagels of course. There are really good Jewish style ...pastries, cookies, and breads with the emphasis on flavors and high-quality ingredients. There's none of the bland but oversweet junk you get from big chains and the grocery stores. Read More

All of their menu items are on the wall and they're not well lit, so it's very hard to read. When I asked for printed menu, they don't have any. They were willing to talk me through the menu, but problem is that I am deaf, so moot point. Since the place tends to be v...ery popular, not enough patience for those who are disabled.\t\n\t\nWhen the environment is just right (bright light coming in from outside, etc. and I'm able to see the menu to order food - the food tends to be excellent. Hard to rate it when having experienced frustration at times like not able to see the menu, etc. They most certainly have room for improvement. Read More

My boyfriend and I always try to make it to the Greatful Bread Baaking company for their Challah bread. It is so delicious, and their soups are wonderful as well. I think the prices are a little high, but you really do get what you pay for because the quality of their b...reads and soups are wonderful. I had the sweet potato soup with chipotle once and it was outstnding. Expect large crowds, I don't think that I have ever been without waiting for a table, but it is well worth it. Read More

The Challah they make on Friday nights is great. I also enjoy their Sweet Potatoe soup with a little bit of the Rustic Brea. Bring your laptop, they have fee wi-fi, and cozy up in a corner with some soup on a rainy day.

I love the sandwiches here - especially on the seven grain bread. Yum! I've only tried one of the soups, but it was delicious. The cookies are very tasty. Service is on the slow side.

The bagels are chewy, soft, and always fresh. They are truly perfect, and they're the main reason I go to Grateful Bread. \t\n\t\nThe pies are pretty good here, especially the cherry, and the pumpkin spice muffins are wonderful. \t\n\t\nHowever, the cream cheese spread...s taste like glue. In fact, everything I've tried here with cream cheese (chocolate cheesecake muffin, cheesecake, key lime tart) tastes off. \t\n\t\nThe bread is just okay--nothing special here. If you want to get fresh-baked bread in the Wedgewood neighborhood, you might want to try the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe on 65th. \t\n\t\nThe pastry is hit and miss, and so is the espresso--sometimes it's good, and sometimes it tastes burnt and extra bitter. Service here is not particularly friendly. Read More
