Temple Pastries is a bakery in Seattle's Central District, in the U.S. state of Washington. [1] Christina Wood started the business as a pop-up in 2018, and relocated to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in partnership with Broadcast Coffee Roasters in 2020.
Temple Pastries is a queer-owned [2] bakery at the intersection of 26th and Jackson in Seattle's Central District, specializing in sourdough croissants and cruffins (croissant/ muffin hybrids). Seasonal varieties of croissants have included salted caramel apple, chocolate hazelnut with orange zest sugar, and plum and cardamom. [3] The bakery has also sold cakes, [4] breads, cookies, [5] [6] croissant pretzels, [7] breakfast sandwiches, macarons, sweet potato jam doughnuts, and coffee and espresso drinks. [8] [9] Breakfast sandwiches have bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, or poblano, Swiss cheese, and mushroom, baked into eggs and served on a wheat bun. [10] Among the macron varieties is Autumn Leaves, which has a white chocolate ganache infused with bay leaves, cinnamon, and peppercorns. [11] Temple Pastries bakes using buckwheat, rye, and whole grain. [7] [12]
Christina Wood started the business in July 2018, as a pop-up at farmers' markets and coffee shops. [3] [13] It is her first bakery. [14] In 2019, the business and Broadcast Coffee Roasters partnered to open a cafe in 2020. [7] [15] Initially slated to open in September, Temple Pastries opened on October 23. [16] [17] In 2023, the bakery began producing select baked goods at the Broadcast Coffee on 65th Avenue Northeast and Roosevelt. [18] The Central District location also expanded and announced plans to start offering pizza. [19]
Callie Craighead included the bakery in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's 2021 list of the city's nine best doughnut shops. [20] Megan Hill and Jade Yamazaki Stewart included Temple Pastries in Eater Seattle's 2022 overview of fifteen "great places" to eat in the Central District. [21] The website's Harry Cheadle included the business in 2023 lists of Seattle's sixteen "most perfect" bakeries [11] and best cafes for remote work. [22] Stewart and Cheadle also included Temple Pastries in a 2024 list of thirteen Seattle eateries for "amazing" breakfast. [23] Aimee Rizzo included the business in The Infatuation's 2024 overview of the city's best bakeries. [24] Seattle Magazine and The Stranger have also included Temple Pastries in overviews of the city's best croissants. [25] [26]
