The Cottage, Community Bakery

Everything is fresh and made with care, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. My favorite is their challah bread, it’s soft, fluffy, perfectly braided, and slightly sweet. It’s amazing on its own or toasted with a little butter. The bakery has such a warm, welcoming feel, and the bread always tastes homemade and comforting. If you love fresh bread, especially challah, this place is a must-try!

I stumbled upon this bakery unexpectedly since it’s right next to a dog park I’ve been taking my dog to, and I’m so glad I did. Right when you walk in, there’s a tray of samples, which is such a nice touch — especially if it’s your first time or you’re feeling indecisive. Every pastry I tried was fresh and delicious, and everything was surprisingly well-priced. My favorite was the pistachio bread and vanilla bun! The customer service truly stood out. The woman helping me was kind, answered all my questions, and even gave me a coupon for a free loaf of bread on my next visit since it was my first time in. It’s a small, take-out-only space, but there are outdoor seating areas right outside, which makes it easy to enjoy your pastries nearby. It’s been a while since I’ve visited a business t

Really great pastries. The folks in shop are very nice, and always ask how we’re doing when we come in. Our daughter loves the cookies. They are our go to for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We drive from about 40 minutes north to visit whenever we can. 10/10

TLDR; this place puts every other bakery to shame. 5 stars is not enough. I stumbled upon this place because a cafe closer to home sources their baked goods. We visited their storefront this weekend and were totally blown away by how good their pastries and bread are. The garlic knot is my all-time favorite but this time, their pistachio tea cake was what really made my day. Nothing is greasy, nothing is overly sweet. This place is an absolute gem.

The Cottage is truly one of the most special places in our community. Every time I visit, the staff goes far beyond simple customer service. They are genuinely kind, they remember people, and they truly care about how your day is going. That kind of hospitality is rare and it never goes unnoticed. I also appreciate the care they put into making fresh pastries every single day. You really can feel the intention and pride behind everything they make. I recently attended their Pretzels for Purpose event this past weekend and was honestly emotional seeing the impact this small bakery has on the Edmonds community. The generosity, heart, and the way they show up for people is something that means a lot to me. I’m proud to support a business like this.
