The bakery is great, the atmosphere is very typical Seattle: friendly, crowded at times, fast paced, and delightful. Everything is fresh and sometimes you have to go early because they do run out of certain highly coveted breads and treats.
The sandwich was a surprise to us but it was listed as #3 in the top 10 best sandwiches in Seattle. Honestly, it beats Subway and Quiznos any day, I had a Reuben sandwich and my wife had a Turkey with Swiss both on Sourdough, and it was pretty darn good. What makes it good is their quality/choice of meats, the fresh bread, and the condiments of course. As simple as a sandwich is, it comes down to the choice of ingredients. Combine that with the nice atmosphere of Pike Place Market (flying fishes, crowds and events) and you'll know why Three Girls Bakery is known by many.
Pros: Fresh baked goods, Choice of ingredients, Pike Place atmosphere
Cons: Pike Place crowd, No bathrooms
