“ This place has tons of bakery items, cakes, breakfast, and lunch options. We tried the plato guanaco (Salvadorean platter) and the carne guisada. Both were delicious. The plato guanaco was a great option to try many different things because it came with a pupusa and a tamale. The carne guisada was like a pot roast with very tender meat. I’d definitely come back. The only thing I didn’t really like was the pickled cabbage that came on the side of both dishes. The service was pretty good, but definitely not fast food. The restaurant was clean but the interior was old and kind of ugly. Wouldn’t stop me from eating there though! ”
“ Salvadorean Bakery and Restaurant Inc. absolutely deserves a 5-star rating! I recently had the pleasure of trying their mango tres leches cake, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The cake was incredibly moist, with a rich, creamy texture and just the right amount of mango flavor — sweet but not overpowering. It truly melted in my mouth with every bite. The quality and balance of flavors were spot-on, showing how much care and expertise goes into their baking. Their pastries are also perfection. Each one I’ve tried has had a great taste and texture — from flaky layers to the perfect amount of sweetness. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and this place hit every mark. What really surprised me was how much my 2-year-old nephew enjoyed the cake. He usually isn’t a fan of sweets or cakes, but he kept asking for more bites. That alone speaks volumes! The bakery is warm and inviting, with a great selection that showcases authentic Salvadoran flavors alongside classic favorites. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again to try something new each time. Whether you’re stopping in for a treat or celebrating something special, Salvadorean Bakery and Restaurant Inc. is a must-visit. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates delicious, well-made desserts! ”
“ This place is the absolute best! I came here for the first time almost 15years ago and it’s even better now. I think it’s probably one of the best bakeries in Seattle. Total hidden gem in our beautiful city. Come here and get a treat or a meal you won’t be disappointed ”
“ Worth the trip if you do not live on this side of town. I have yet to be disappointed and have sampled their food and bakery items many times. The staff is friendly and kind, and the food is always delicious and fresh. I also really appreciate they have free, fresh, and cold water right inside the front door for anyone who needs it. ”
“ My family is Salvadoran and it's hard to find truly Salvadoran shops, restaurants and bakeries and I'm happy to share that you can find all here. AND the food was authentic, with rich flavors, fresh and DELICIOUS! My mom will approve! They have a freezer full of hard to find Salvadoran treats, a refrigerator full of creams, cheeses and drinks, snacks and authentic seasonings. The baked goods were tasty, and not overly sweet, offering traditional pastries, cookies, cakes and desserts. Their pan Frances was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They had tres leches, too, which I'm not a fan of because it tends to be too sweet, messy, and soaked to fall apart but I tried my son's and surprisingly it was none of that. We ordered pupusas (de queso and queso and beans) and they were palm size with a good filling size. Their curtido and sauce was ok. I ordered the platanos fritos plate (frijoles, crema, pan francés, chorizo Salvadoran) and it was a full-size platano cut in half, the beans were creamy and and flavorful. The order was enough for me to take home. We ate and brought home a lot for later. The staff was super helpful and friendly willing to take special requests. We will definitely be returning! ”
