Bob's Well Bread At The Ballard Store

Honestly some of the best bread I've ever had. I've been to both locations now, and they are definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. Go early before it gets busy and things sell out. My favorite loaf is definitely the Pan au Lardon! Breakfast was amazing as well!

I have passed by this bakery many times while in the area and never got a chance to try it out til yesterday. When we got there it was around 1:30 and the line was long. It went by very slow, I mean very. Over 20 mins. Once we go to the cashier she greets us with a smile and let's us know that she was helping out the kitchen staff by taking the orders slowly. They were short staffed.I ordered a cappuccino and my husband got an affogato . I also got a scone and an olive bread. All fresh and delicious. The ambiance here is nice, I loved the outdoor seating area by the white rose bushes that were in full bloom. Indoor area is small but very cute. Overall a great place to try out while in the area.

Just don’t appreciate being asked for a gratuity for reaching to your right to grab a croissant. Not to mention then being embarrassed in front of other patrons when asked three more times. I moved on. Waited for coffee and my breakfast. Latter came out in a to go cup, no vanilla in the Vanilla Late. When I asked for the staff to add vanilla to the late I was looked at like I was asking for the moon. When I asked about the breakfast sand which on a French roll, was told that they only have breaky on biscuits and I was wrong. Weird as I pointed out the first sandwhich on the menu and the rude dude at the register said you didn’t say “ baguette.!” Breakfast sand-which came out and the egg was burned to a crisp and the waiter said “please enjoy!” Just had such high hopes for this place. Positive, the bread is really awesome. Suggestion, have an email on your website so I could contact someone directly instead of posting a review.

I had breakfast outside at Bob's Well Bread this morning, and I was really disappointed. There was a strong sewage smell, and I found out that the parking lot serves as the leach field for the building's sewage system. This is unacceptable. We ended up leaving before finishing our meal because it was just too gross. I can't believe this is allowed in Ballard.

Preordered per someone else's recommendation. So glad I did. By the time I got there, morning buns were sold out. Which was the best I have ever had. Pickup was a breeze. Folks working were very kind and patient. Pick up was a breeze. Also had the Sausage roll was very flavorful. Latte was good. Would definitely recommend!
