There are few things that my family loves more than bread and with Singaporean roots we’re big fans of the kaya toast breakfasts that we get when we visit family overseas. Imagine my excitement when I saw an instagram post for a toast bar at the WSU bread lab in Burlington.
I already love stopping in Burlington on my way up or back from Canada because the Costco there always seems to have the cheapest gas and there are a lot of great farm stands nearby.
But for three Fridays at least this year you can DIY all-you-can-eat whole grain toast with spreads and Camber Coffee from 9am-12pm at the WSU Breadlab for $10 (cash only. DON’T FORGET TO BRING CASH!! This also is a rule for if you visit any farmstands in the area too. They often are cash only as well.)
These are the Fridays: February 6, March 6, and April 3rd 2026. If I hear of any more I’ll add them but also you should follow the WSU Bread Lab instagram and maybe King Arthur Flour too because that’s somewhat related to this event. You can find out more through this link on the WSU Breadlab website. The instagram post lists this as the address for the Bread lab: 11768 Westar Lane Burlington, WA 98233.
And if this is not enough bread for you check out Water Tank Bakery (it has funny hours so check to see if it’s open before you go) and also Breadfarm about 10-15 minutes away (also check the hours first). There is also delicious pie (is this maybe a farfetched form of bread?) very nearby at Schuh Farms. And Whidbey Island Bagels, the bagel store we visit the most often in Washington State has a Mount Vernon location in the area too.
Please let me know if you visit the toast bar, I’d love to hear what you think. Also King Arthur Flour has a bunch of classes you can take at the WSU bread lab if you want to learn to make your own bread or other bakery products made from flour.
(PS. The baguette in the photo is from Mirabelle by Orphei arguably the best or one of the best baguettes you can find in Seattle.)
(PPS. if you are a bread fan and also love croissants, I have a popular best croissants in Seattle post that might be near where you are too.)
