The Cottage, Community Bakery

Quick summary of this place it's a little bakery that has a few tables/chairs outside but is mainly to pick up your baked goods, don't plan on sitting here is all I'm saying lol I love love love this place, literally writing this as we've just picked up more yumminess (grabbed 4 of the chocolate biscotti to freeze and take with me to my fam) Let's get to the food Chocolate and pistachios biscotti: I LOVE this so much than in the summer when they take all the biscotti to market (Edmonds summer farmers market) I will suffer the mass of people and no parking and stay in line to get these Rye Bread: OMG we loved these for our grilled cheese sandwiches we made at home Chocolate chip cookies: one of the best cookies ever! Little flakes on top and leans more cakes than chewy which I love! Olive Sourdough/Sourdough /Walnut Sourdough/oat sourdough: guys listen all their bread is yummy, like cut a chunk off and eat it now good, like slice and toast and put a little butter and that's all you need in life goodGo try it... thank me later Btw I live in Kirkland and yep I go there whenever I can. WORTH IT! By the way these guys are great, they even gave my little one a free pretzel bun (which was very yummy according to her)

Decided to stop by when I saw they had a pretzel everything bagel. They had all different kinds of breads inside and after trying their bagel, I definitely will make a trip back to try their other goods. The bagel was fluffy on the inside and well seasoned. Their breads looked fresh and promising. I liked how discreet this bakery was. I highly recommend!

This place has become a staple of my grocery shop every week. I get the brioche every week because it's so fantastic, perfect for sandwich bread, toast, or french toast. The maple shortbread is delicious too. I have to restrain myself to not get the sea salt focaccia every week. The staff is lovely, helpful, and will get you through the line quickly.

Great bakery! I love the pretzel buns, cookies, and granola in particular but you really can't go wrong.

Bread worth driving to from Shoreline.We have it on our calendar for a weekly pilgrimage.All the styles are great, the few pastries they make divine and the focaccia a sumptuous pillow that doesn't always make it home.

Do yourself a favor when you're there and get the Herbed Olive Sourdough loaf...or the Dad's Deli Rye loaf. So, so delicious. I make my own bread, but I treat myself to theirs because it's amazing.

In shortThis is the spot--the local and expert baker(s) turning out all the awesome bread, pastries, pretzels, and the like. No cakes or pies, but everything else. In longLocal restaurants have clearly already gotten hip to what's happening here, and that's how we found out about this place. We had fantastic pretzels at a place down in the Edmonds Bowl a couple months ago, where they proudly call out The Cottage as their supplier. We immediately planned to shop here the next time we could fit in a cheat meal. This weekend, with family in town, turns out to be perfect. I don't know if this corner of Perrinville is always this packed on Thursday afternoons, but there was not much parking today. Good indicator for the business! In related news, there's a whole set of interesting-looking businesses all tucked together here in a setting that's less like a strip mall and more like the "country village" model that pops up up around these parts.They're right by the parking lot entrance, and in the time it took me to park, multiple carloads of people headed in. You turn left right away and walk around the stacks of flour and shelving. Having no resistance to temptation myself, this ended up prompting me to grab a jar of Mt Baker Fireweed honey. The selection here is focused and shows some flair for variety, but by no means do they have hundreds of different products. It's one kitchen also filling dozens of restaurant/retail orders, so it was nice to see a couple dozen things to choose from here.I got the country sourdough (heavy, crusty, fragrant) and green onion focaccia (also dense and fragrant). The focaccia is probably the best I've had--once you heat it up and butter it, it's the only bread I've ever been tempted to describe as "tender." It's incredibly delicate. The sourdough English muffins also overpowered my sales resistance, and they're amazing. Not light and airy at all like the English muffins we Americans get at the supermarket, but chewy and tasty. For my sister I got cardamom buns and granola. I've never even heard of cardamom buns before, so I appreciate these folks helping me step a stride or two out of my sheltered existence. Kind of a cinnamon roll, but a little smaller, and more Christmas-y in their spice profile. The granola is sweet and crunchy and kind of a gourmet breakfast cereal you eat dry. Super good.The kids at the counter are super young, very friendly and nice, and work well together. I didn't have many questions and didn't dawdle, but they had all the info I needed right away. Awesome little shop.

Fav hidden gem in Lynnwood. Influencers please just shush!!! Lol. Whenever I get the chance, I always try to get my hands on their olive sourdough bread. Literal heart eyes. It's the perfect savory tangy bread to have with a shmear of cold kerry gold unsalted butter. And with little bit of chili oil on top???-- so effing amazing. You can ask for their bread sliced as well. I'm sure any selection you just can't go wrong. But that olive sourdough... you can't get anywhere else. It's so great to just gift or bring to your fancy dinner party with friends. Also great to pair with some fresh oysters and red wine. I also grabbed their lemon pastry and it was so delightful. Anyways, I love you cottage bakery.

Love this place! Glad they are extending days/hours. That was the one bummer about this place! Such a great little spot with the best treats and bread!!

We stopped by on a weekend. The vibe was excellent. All the staff were efficient, helpful, and friendly despite being a busy Saturday morning! We bought focaccia bread, pretzel knots, cookies, and a cardamon roll. We absolutely loved everything! We will be coming regularly! 10/10 Reccomend!
