The Flora Bakehouse, the Beacon Hill bakery known for its rooftop deck and daily soft serve, is planning to open a second location inside Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2028. Owner Nat Stratton-Clarke confirmed the expansion, which would give the bakery a second location.
A Familiar Face Expanding Inside the Terminal
According to WhatNow Seattle, the future Flora Bakehouse outpost is listed for airport space CC-14, per the Port of Seattle. The space is across from Gate C10, near Hachi-ko, between Dish D’Lish and Le Grand Comptoir; no exact opening date has been announced, and the same report notes construction on some new airport concessions is expected to begin in 2027. The bakery was included among a broader slate of new dining and retail spots recently announced for the airport.
Stratton-Clarke said the bakery is excited about its new location at Sea-Tac, according to the same report. The move would bring the Flora name deeper into the terminal, where the group already operates a full-service restaurant.
What The Flora Bakehouse Serves Today
At its current home at 1511 S. Lucile St. in Beacon Hill, the bakery serves sweet and savory pastries, freshly baked bread, and inventive espresso drinks, along with vegan and gluten-free options, according to Flora Restaurant Group. The shop also offers soft serve daily beginning at 11:30 a.m. and a year-round rooftop deck with views of Mount Rainier, per the same source. The bakery has been described by its parent company as the perfect connection between its two sister restaurants, Cafe Flora and Floret.
Part of a Bigger Flora Restaurant Group Footprint
The Flora Bakehouse is part of the Flora Restaurant Group, which is owned by Stratton-Clarke and also includes Cafe Flora and Floret. The group operates Cafe Flora, a vegetarian restaurant in Madison Valley that has served the neighborhood since 1991. It also runs Floret, which opened in 2018 and is a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options.
Airport-Wide Expansion in the Works
The planned Flora Bakehouse arrival is part of a larger overhaul at Sea-Tac, where the airport is set to add 17 new food and shopping spots as early as 2027, according to a Seattle News podcast listing. Those new businesses were chosen through what the same listing describes as a rigorous vetting process that prioritized community flavor, small-business support, and customer experience. For Beacon Hill regulars, it means a favorite neighborhood bakery could soon be a familiar stop before a flight rather than just a weekend errand.
