Holly B's Bakery

Only had the cinnamon roll here and it was great!! The dough was more chewy and flavor more nuanced than the usual sticky sweet cinnamon buns.

A morning staple when on lopez. Get there early. Highly recommend the cinnamon roll, the morning bun, and the croissants. But literally everything is good.

The morning bun is AMAZING! We grabbed up a couple of everything for our group camping at Odlin park. Everything was perfect! Flaky and wonderful. The cinnamon roll was awesome, tons of raisins and that little part in the very center made me fall off my chair it was so good. Go to here!

Back when Holly Bower (the original Holly B) owned and ran Holly B's Bakery, the place was vibrant and fantastic, with so many delicious breads and pastries on its shelves that Ms. Bower even published a book of her favorite recipes, "With Love & Butter: An Island Cookbook and Memoir." It was common to see long lines of happy customers snaking out the door. But since the bakery's sale in 2016, things are not the same.Having visited Lopez Island for the past twenty-plus years and having partronized the old Holly B's regularly, it's a pity that the new bakery's pastries are nothing really special, merely passable. We noticed this last year but thought we'd give the new owners and bakers a chance to get things up to speed. Not so.I wish the new Holly B's had changed its name to something else since it's really nothing like the old Holly B's that many who come to Lopez have grown to love and support over the years. Still, in the "friendly island" spirit of Lopez, I'll give the new place three stars. The bakery is only OK. But it certainly isn't Holly B's.

We tried their Garden swirl and the famous Almond Butterhorn. Both were not that buttery and somewhat bland but we liked them as what they were. Their pastries were good to go for our bike trip. We visited the next morning again before boarding the ferry and this time we had the fruit scone. The berries in it were very juicy. We really enjoyed sharing this scone. Thanks Holly B's bakery for helping us to creat such lovely memories on Lopez Island. We fell in love with the Island even more thanks to you guys!

I have fond memories of visiting Holly B's as a kid--I mean, who can say no to fresh baked treats??Craving a peaceful Sunday to myself I took a day trip to Lopez and had to stop by. I arrived a little before noon and there were several options to choose from... sweet pastries, cookies, bread and a couple savory baked treats as well. Slightly overwhelmed (and very hungry) I asked for a few suggestions. After hearing some of the staff favorites I went with a baguette, almond butterhorn pastry, and molasses cookie. (I normally try to eat plant-based but couldn't resist the nostalgia.)Off I went to the beach, after picking up some spinach artichoke dip and plump blueberries from Blossom Grocery.The baguette was delicious, definitely my favorite of the three! A delightful texture and flavor. It was perfection dunked straight into the spinach artichoke dip. Needless to say I inhaled half of the baguette in one sitting--the remainder was enjoyed as toasts over the next couple of days.Later on in the afternoon I went IN on the almond butterhorn. This pastry was recommended heated up, which I believe would be a good choice if you have the option. The helpful lady behind the counter offered to warm it for me, but I was planning on consuming it after a slightly more healthy snack aka baguette, dip, and blueberries. Anywho. I'm glad I tried the butterhorn, but I typically prefer less sweet options and would choose to try something different next time around.Since I was on a roll, I made quick work of the molasses cookie after dinner. The cookie was a generous size, plus it was both soft/chewy as well as flavorful. I would happily enjoy one or three of these again!Prices are pretty standard for island goods, and the shop itself is small so take your treats outside, that is if you can resist chowing down immediately. I am looking forward to visiting again soon, hopefully this summer with my family!

This bakery is awesome! Great flavors, service is friendly. I just wish it were open more often, but that's island life for ya! We came here a few times and tried all the things. You can't go wrong.

Shortbread was excellent. Ham and cheese croissant and almond butter horn were good. Store was clean. Friendly staff.

I heard they were the best place for fresh baked goods. I have to say my expectations were too high because everything was good, but nothing was out of this world amazing. Things looked great and tasted fine. Fine is just that, perfectly acceptable but nothing to brag about.The staff were the best part of my visit.
