The Pastry Project - Bakery Window
Seattle
The Pastry Project is a community-focused culinary social enterprise in Seattle's Pioneer Square operating a walk-up bakery window and hosting hands-on baking classes. Known for its mission providing free pastry training to reduce employment barriers, it serves laminated specialties like cardamom and crème brûlée croissants alongside seasonal summer soft serve. Their customizable soft serve experience features rotating bases like purple vanilla with hard-shell dips and toppings like cake crumbs and peanut crunch.
Commenters are largely enthusiastic about the bakery's mission, quality treats, and popular hands-on baking classes. However, feedback on the seasonal soft serve is mixed, with several customers expressing frustration over hollow cones and steep prices that dent the perceived value.
