The Bread Peddler - Bakery and Cake Shop in Olympia - 222 Capitol Way N, USA

The best croissants and French pastries outside of France. Love, love, love everything about this place from the bread to the brunch.

Let me tell you, if you are looking for a delicious sourdough bread look no further. I went right at 7am when they opened. Got home and the bread was still warm enough to spread butter over and have a slice. Heaven. Definitely qualifies as an emotional support loaf. I'm also snacking on their chocolate cream cheese Danish. Absolutely delicious. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. It was a bit dark when I went in and I was having a hard time reading the bread types but 10/10 recommend.

I've been looking for some quality bread. Google helped me locate this shop and I drove out to see what breads they offer. I was not disappointed it was worth the drive. I haven't been able to try the 3 loaves I purchased but I did eat the almond croissant in the parking lot and it is a high value experience. Such a good pastry. It would take to many words to describe. I would say this shop is a destination.

Damn fine classic French bakery! All the offerings here are done right and the owner is a treasure, a very kind man. He pays his staff fairly(I worked here briefly, sorry young me walked out on the dish pit Andre!) The only possible complaint here is that sometimes the reheat items from the fridge(breakfast sandwich for example) don’t get full hot inside.. I believe this team of top notch folks can rectify this with a little process tweak. Thanks for all the killer bread and coffee!

Great experience! We stopped in cause it was a bread and soup kind of morning. I had been wanting to give them a shot for months and tbh I am disappointed that I didn't try them sooner. The ham and cheese pastry had a croissant like flakey goodness, and the loaf of garlic and cheese sour dough was to die for, I ate half the loaf dipping it in my French onion soup... I will say the French onion was only average, BUT the salad it came with more then made up for it. I can't say there are too many things I love more then a good soup, salad, and bread. I loved the vibe too, the people were so friendly and welcoming. Really the only complaint I had was it was PACKED and there was really no where to sit, we ended up grabbing a seat at the ice cream shop outside, and when a spot opened inside, moved closer. Don't let this deter you though. The seating issue isn't that big a deal, and it was totally worth the hassle, for the yums.

Delicious sourdough bread, delightfully flakey cruffin and a solid latte. But my favorite is their Kouign Amann.

Fabulous authentic French bakery! This is my favorite place in Olympia. Delicious croissants and great simple soups. We miss Sylvie who used to work there though! She was the manager and made sure everything ran smoothly to a T.

The staff are stressed and ill prepared with 1 cashier working the tell, and several in the back kitchen. Everything was served cold (we weren’t asked how we wanted it) and the apple fritter was like eating croutons. No reason to come back.
