Brown Bear Baking - EASTSOUND
Brown Bear Baking
Description
A beloved corner bakery famous for outstanding pastries and quiches — flaky morning buns, tarts, cookies and savory Croque Monsieur delight locals and tourists. Expect long morning lines but fast fulfillment once you order; pastries are excellent though some items feel pricey. Coffee service is inconsistent, with several reports of weak or lukewarm espresso and uneven barista response. Visit early to avoid crowds; great for pastry-focused breakfast stops, less so for coffee purists.

We visited on a Monday morning, and the place was quite busy and crowded. There’s only one door for both entrance and exit, which made it challenging to manage the line. After placing our order, our pastries were ready right away, but it took around 10 minutes for my coffee to arrive. The pastries were amazing! If you're not a fan of crowds, I recommend visiting during less busy hours.
The food here is fantastic and definitely worth the wait in line. There's a great mix of locals and tourists, and we waited about 15-20 minutes to reach the counter. Once we ordered, our food arrived almost instantly. I had the Croque Monsieur, while my wife opted for the smoked salmon quiche—both were absolutely perfect. Their espresso is impressive, too. It's a pleasure to stand in a long line and be rewarded with such expertly made pastries.
This charming little bakery on the corner is a delightful find! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the cookies are delicious! I tried a peanut butter sandwich made with two cookies filled with peanut butter cream, and it was fantastic!
