Crema's Take
“Pico's chocolate croissants are genuinely exceptional—the kind of pastry that justifies a special trip to Ballard—and the rest of their bakery case lives up to that standard with consistently delicious options. The charming, San Remo-inspired atmosphere and friendly staff make it an ideal spot for lingering over coffee and pastries, though you should stick to what they do best (the baked goods) and skip their lunch sandwiches, which tend to disappoint given their surprisingly high price tag.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Possibly one of the best bakery spots in Seattle. Every single one of their pastry options are delicious. The lunch menu options (the sandwiches) are also amazing. They sell bread as well, freshly made each day, also amazing. Best pastries in Ballard by far. So happy to have…
Pico Cafe and Bakery is a return to San Remo, Italy. This Ballard neighborhood restaurant has it all. Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Amazingly kind and friendly staff and of course great food. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to try their Italian cuisine, but if…
