I'm a big fan of Grand Central Bakery. They have very tasty sandwiches and baked goods. Their daily specialty sandwiches have included incredible standouts such as a French Dip and Peppered Steak. The same is true with their salads. All around a great lunch destination.

I eat here from time to time during the work week. I've yet to be blown away by the food which leaves me wondering why I go back. That's not to say it isn't fine it's just that I want something more than fine to break the monotony of lunches during the work week.

I had a great experience with this bakery today. My company had a meeting this morning and we are all pretty health conscious and so I went over to the bakery and they had so many great alternatives to the everyday danishes and doughnuts loaded with fat. The muffins and jammers were a huge success- so much of a success that we ended up going to lunch there as well. I ordered seven sandwiches three drinks, and three cookies--only allowing about fifteen minutes to be there and by the time we got there- everything was in a bag ready for us! It was great! The food was fresh and tasty and the service was beyond wonderful. I really enjoyed my experience there and will continue to be a loyal customer of theirs.

This is a brand new location for Grand Central Bakery. They are open seven days a week. There is a roomy dining area and some seating outside too. This would be a great place to have a leisurely morning with a big cup of coffee and a newspaper. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and latte to go recently and felt like the wait was a bit long. Ordering ahead on the phone might solve that problem. The food is very good. You may have already had their freshly baked bread as it is sold in the bakery department of almost every local grocery store.

Grand Central bakery is one of the small Seattle bakeries that building the city’s national reputation for artisan bread. Thick crusty loaves with names I can’t even pronounce. You find the bread at local grocers and at Grand Central’s cafes, one of which is on Eastlake Ave. The café is large and airy, with a good number of patio tables and chairs outside with a great view Eastlake Ave and a sidelong glance at Queen Anne hill on the other side of Lake Union. The coffees and teas are consistent (they have a good iced passion fruit tea during the spring and summer), and the pastries are delicious. They also do a very brisk lunch business. WARNING: If you are cold-natured, sit outside during spring and summer—they keep the air cranked so high you’ll be shivering through your ciabatta with proscuitto and roasted red peppers.
