Fuji Bakery

Fuji is better than ever and I couldn’t be more grateful. I wept over a croissant yesterday, it was that beautiful.

We found excellent freshly baked breads, pastries, sandwiches and unique cookies, brownies and cakes here.

You can tell their baked goods are quality and fresh. I got an azuki sugar donut, a corn flake custard donut, and a macaroon. Both donuts were good! The corn flake one was also sugared but with a delightful crispiness to it, as well as a good amount of custard filling. The donut itself was very warm, fluffy, and so fresh. They had baked versions of both of these fillings which looked super good but I decided to go for the fried/​donut versions.
The lady serving me was very nice and informational (I had a lot of questions). The only thing I was disappointed in was that the macaroon I got (french roast coffee) was extremely bland. It didn’t taste like anything to me, but the texture for chewing was good (which barely matters if you can’t even taste it).

I can’t explain how good this place is… Just GO! Their cow on a cloud (like a fancy version of pigs in a blanket) and curry bun are the best. The chicken katsu sandwich is also great.

Curry bun is awesome! They also have various yummy pastries– all good and not too sweet. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop by when driving to Ballard from downtown.

What is there not to love about Fuji Bakery? Not only are the baked goods amazing but they have some of the best green tea I have had in Seattle!
I was fortunate enough to find some of the green tea melon pastries still on the shelf. I love these! They are not too sweet and are soft and moist inside and not to hard outside. I also purchased several pastries to take home but they were eaten before I could take pictures of them. The green tea matcha roll is good as is the peanut and jelly although there is no peanut butter in it.
If you decide to eat inside there are two very long tables with benches. One bench has seating on two sides and the other can only seat on one side.
All of the staff were very pleasant and I think I met the manager or owner who was very polite. I was pleased to see how nice and friendly everyone was. I like going places where the staff are happy with their jobs.
As far as parking goes, there is parking on the street in front of the bakery as well as a lot on the south side of the shop.
A great bakery with great items for deserts or even a meal.

Oh hey yo! How do I always miss these awesome places near my neighborhood?! Finally remembered to make it over to the far right lane on Elliot and turn into the parking lot of Fuji bakery! Yay!
Immediately greeted by two very happy and friendly men. I told them it was my first time in, and one of the guys got very excited about it. Everything in the cases looked delicious. I decided on the green tea melon pan, salmon brioche, and the guy behind the counter suggested I also try the crispy custard or crispy cream (can’t remember the name :-p).
I had just had breakfast with a gf, so I thought I’d save these yummy things for later… Nope. As soon as I got home, I decided to take just ONE bite of each pastry. About 20 bites later, everything was gone. So much for will power and being too «full».
The Green tea melon pan was incredible. The green tea flavor was just right. It was soft, yet crispy and flavorful. The salmon brioche smelled sooooo good. The brioche was so buttery with a tad of sweetness to it. The salmon inside was a little salty, but it balanced the flavors of the brioche very well. My favorite was the crispy cream (thank you for the suggestion kind sir!). It was sweet but not overly so, it was chewy and the corn flakes were so crisp and delectable. The cream was smooth yet light. It definitely reminded me of malasadas at home… Mmmm. I’ll be back again for sure… Not too often though, or I’ll be making my own muffins… Around my waist that is.

After one visit to this amazing bakery we are now hooked. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but believe me you will leave with bags of wonderful French type pastries and will imagine how a party dessert table will look with their pastries. It is far from home, but close to the Leather Cleaners on Elliott avenue who recommended it,
but across the street. You will not be sorry.

Outlet store of the ID bakery. i believe they bake the goods here for their retail branch. Small with only one picnic table inside. Mostly for takeaway. $ 1.50 coffee (stumptown). very good value and delicious

I just LOVE LOVE their pesto bacon epi!!!

Curry angus beef bun. It’s unforgettable. I’ve been here a handful of times and it’s just such a sad moment when you see they’ve sold out of them, while quite the opposite when you see a freshly baked mountain of them on a silver platter like what happened today ($ 3). I also tried their Pistache Griotte with raspberry Griotte and cherry jam ($ 2) which made for a great dessert. The parking makes me nervous along the fast and steady flow of traffic along Elliott Avenue; and the small parking lot enclosed in a barbed-​wire chain link fence next to a few crappy cars from who knows where is not on par with the clean style and colorful pastel motif of the interior.

The exterior and location made me wonder if this is the same Fuji bakery that I know of. After I read other’s reviews, I convinced this is the one and so happy that I visited! This is great bakery tons of selections priced pretty reasonable compared other bakeries in town, and quality is unbeatable!!! They also carry beautiful cakes including a round shaped cake, great for a birthday cake. However, they close at 3 pm, I wish if they open little bit late.

I’m addicted to their chicken katsu salad. The sandwich used to be my fave, but the salad has taken its place. I haven’t tried everything at Fuji Bakery, however, the handful of things I HAVE tried are absolutely delicious. I would recommend everyone give Fuji Bakery a try, at least once!

The baguette was so so yummy. It has a roast crisp outer crust with a soft lightly buttered inside. This is perfect to dip in olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette paired with your wine of choice. My boyfriend and I also had to get something sweet! We got their sugar donuts and macarons (8-​box assortment). Lets just say those disappeared on the drive home (too good).

Rumor has it that the original baker is back and the goods are even better now. The selection seems to be larger and more abundant then the ID location. It’s also easier to find parking here as there is a small parking lot beside the shop and ample street parking. We arrived early and the cases were full of all the treats. This is a Japanese bakery so there is a definite Japanese aesthetic applied to the baked goods. I was absolutely smitten with the crunch cream filled doughnut. It wasn’t too sweet but had great contrast in textures. The selection is so large, you will have to make multiple visits to try everything. My friends, that is not a problem. They also do bread, cakes and macarons! Seattle has quite a few delicious bakeries but none of them match Fuji Bakery in the Japanese bakery department.

Great sweet and savory treats, with Stumptown coffee to boot! Don’t hesitate to pull in when headed north on Elliott.

This place is great! The pastry is beautiful and delicious. Very impressed and hope to come back… would give 4.5 if I could. I had the almond croissant, the baked twice variety. Very good but I prefer the almond paste to be baked inside the pastry. The cakes look beautiful and I know I would feel very special having one for a birthday or special occasion. The staff talked up the lunch options so I will have to return!

Stop what you’re doing and go to Fuji Bakery NOW! I had driven by this spot over a dozen times and always been curious but never bothered to stop in. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much — like a small warehouse that happens to have automatic sliding glass doors and a plain sign with the bakery’s name on it in a very simple font.
I parked in their small free dedicated lot beside the bakery and hesitantly walked in, completely prepared to turn around and walk out…
[eyes widened]
The shiny cases displayed a huge selection of unique pastries I had never seen before and some that were familiar. I eagerly scanned the cases: a salmon pastry in the shape of a cube, large selection of French macaroons, cups of crème brûlée topped with meringue, red bean and green tea flavoured pastries, they even had panettone!
It was like you took the best bakeries from around the world, mixed them up, and out popped Fuji.
I brought home a selection of goods, all of them were great but the cornflake crusted cream filled sugar doughnut is by far one of the most impressive things I’ve eaten in months. Crunchy on the outside, with a layer of chewy dough surrounding the creamy middle.
They have sweet, savoury, meaty, and vegetarian baked goods — something for everyone.
The lady helping me at the counter was friendly. The shop was brightly lit and cleanly. Parking is easy. They also accept credit cards.
I highly recommend you stop into Fuji Bakery — you will be glad you did!

You may be familiar with the super-​popular Fuji bakery in ID. Well, this is the where their kitchen is and sometime last year, they added an outlet as well.
Of course, all the pastries and sandwiches are amazing. Many of them have Japanese flair with flavors such green tea, red bean etc. They may not have the widest selection but it’s big enough. I am not sure why people are complaining about it. Yes, they also run out of stuff towards the later part of the day and I’d rather run out than over-​prepare, ending up selling the stuff next day or throwing it away.
Never over-​crowded, always smiling service. Seating and drip coffee available. Highly recommended.

I stopped by on a Saturday morning while heading to Magnolia (located on the east side of the street). I like the fact that they have their own parking lot so you don’t have to park on the street. The space looks pretty new, and the pastry case runs the legnth of the store. I ended up getting:
Bacon epi: this was my favorite, which is a twisted bread roll with bacon in it (can’t go wrong with bacon).
Salmon brioche: this was just ok (salmon was dry).
An apple and a pear tart: both pastries were good, not too sweet.
Regular croissant: this was nice and flaky.
I like the fact that the pastries have a Japanese touch to them, which makes them less sweet. If you are driving down Elliott Ave., Fuji is worth stopping by.
