A Bakery Fit For Every Generation
Nestled in the heart of South Park, our artisanal bakery and cafe is a testament to the culinary genius of our founding pastry team. From show-stopping pastries to Grandma’s-style biscuits, each treat is handmade with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
Little Jaye was born from the same culinary passion and drive that established our restaurant and smokehouse, Lady Jaye. It emerged from a desire to explore new possibilities, one that brought a new level of quality and innovation to a bakery. Through research, hands-on experimentation, and our refusal to settle for anything less than exceptional, we’ve made pastries, coffee, and food actually exciting to talk about.
That’s what started Little Jaye.
If you were up at 2:45 on a Sunday morning and happened to walk by Lady Jaye, the lights would be on, the ovens fired up, and our pastry team would be feverishly baking hundreds of cookies, biscuits, and donuts ready to sell fresh at 10 a.m. Selling baked goods on Sunday out of Lady Jaye was just an insane but brilliant enough idea for us to try.
For the next six months, the team stood crammed in our smokehouse kitchen, relying on two little ovens to pump out enough sweet treats to feed West Seattle. Their standard for the highest-quality food was, and still is, amazing. And so was the response from the public.
We knew we had something.
Our pop-up experiment was a massive success, so we opened a separate bakery. We expanded what we offer and made Little Jaye Seattle’s go-to spot. We offer a variety of pastries including donuts, Rice Krispie treats, large cookies (with 8 to 10 different flavors at any given time), sweet and savory biscuits, and our take on a Japanese staple called Shokupan.
With our butcher shop, LJ Meats, right around the corner, we created a line of fresh and delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches, using LJ’s signature and elite cuts of meat.
And since we know people love a morning boost, our beverage connoisseur, Sarah, utilized her mixologist background and turned ordinary coffees into the creative and ingenious combo’s you see on our menu today.
This all started with one chef’s passion and two small ovens. Now, we are a charming and fun bakery in West Seattle. When you step into Little Jaye, you’ll experience tradition and innovation, nostalgia and progress, but most importantly, delicious, fresh food made with some serious TLC every single day.
Welcome to Little Jaye. A taste of home, no matter where you’re from.
