"A multi-time semifinalist for James Beard Awards, baker Evan Andres does dreamy things with carbs at Columbia City Bakery. Herkimer coffee goes well with all the fantastic croissants, pistachio snails, and scones, and the assortment of outrageously good breads ranges from pretzel buns to the skinny baguette called ficelle." - Eater Staff

"I also cite Columbia City Bakery as offering a notable take on the traditional German-style pretzel." - Sophie Grossman
"A local legend that keeps it piping hot, the bakery offers a litany of familiar favorites—from flaky croissants to thicc cinnamon buns—and its outdoor parklet is the ideal place to sit and talk about the pros and cons of the region's art and Seattle's next generation of rappers." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The Columbia City Bakery has a legendary reputation and is one of the notable bakeries down the street from Ark Lodge." - Harry Cheadle
"I appreciated Columbia City Bakery selling bags of flour, yeast, and good butter for months—great value when those items were scarce." - Gabe Guarente
