Maddy's Bakeshop has made the jump from tent to storefront, opening a brick-and-mortar counter in downtown Seattle and bringing its pink-painted pastries indoors. The lineup still leans on laminated croissants, bold pastries and floral-decorated cakes that use local, seasonal ingredients. The compact shop sits on Western Avenue near Lower Queen Anne and is keeping its focus on weekend hours.
The opening got an early spotlight on April 28 in a video segment from KING 5, which showed off the pastel pastry case and a wave of first customers. The broadcast gave the new downtown counter an instant jolt of attention during its first weekend service days.
According to Maddy's Bakeshop, the storefront is located at 177 Western Ave W #268 and currently keeps weekend hours, Fridays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The bakery notes it will continue to sell at the Ballard Farmers Market on Sundays and will keep supplying several local wholesale accounts.
From pop-ups to a storefront
Owner Maddy O'Donnell told What Now Seattle that the shop is an "older sister version" of her farmers market booths, complete with pink walls and a playful disco-ball vibe. Seattle Met also called out Maddy's among early 2026 openings and noted the plan to settle into regular weekend hours starting on Valentine's Day. It is a familiar path for market vendors who turn steady pop-up demand into a permanent counter.
What to order
The Infatuation pegged Maddy's as a well-timed Valentine's Day arrival, praising the meticulously decorated cakes and pointing out a selection of gluten-free options. Expect flaky croissants, laminated viennoiserie, seasonal tarts and floral celebration cakes, all made with local, seasonal ingredients, according to Maddy's Bakeshop.
Neighborhood context
Maddy's is part of a slow but steady wave of small openings and concept shifts across Seattle's food scene, as vendors and pop-ups commit to storefronts in patterns tracked by Seattle Met. For downtown and Lower Queen Anne, the new counter adds a low-commitment weekend stop for nearby workers and visitors who want a pastry run.
Anyone hoping to check out the pastry case in person is advised to show up early on weekends, since popular items are likely to sell out. The bakery suggests keeping an eye on its social channels for weekly menus, classes and pop-up announcements.
