Fat Ducks Deli & Bakery

I was so impressed with the service from this place! I called in an order for delivery (mind you I don’t even think they really do deliveries) from a different state and the cookies were delivered within the hour. The owner knew I had a timeframe and even delivered them before I had a chance to pay her! She texted me a picture of the tray before it was delivered and everything looked so delicious.

I stumbled in here a couple weeks ago to grab a menu, after chatting with the owner (an awesome person all around) I left with some free bagels.
Finally got time to come back and enjoy a breakfast sandwich and a mocha. Good coffee and food in the same spot, that’s hard to find.
Come here, eat and be happy.

My husband and I ordered the lox sandwich and it was amazing! Definitely get it with chive cream cheese it takes it to a whole other level. I had mentioned I was moving to the area and the owner threw in carrot cake and a bag of bagels to welcome us to Seattle. Amazing food and lovely people. We will definitely be back and probably be regulars.

I didn’t even eat here because I felt like I was being punished for walking in the door. Whoever the lady was that was working was the rudest person I’ve ever encountered in a restaurant, and I used to work in the restaurant business. Can’t tell you how the food is though, because I refuse to make time for dreadful people. Maybe this is commonplace in Seattle, I don’t know…

Jackie is by far one of the most thoughtful and genuine café employees I’ve ever come across. She was nice enough to go through their ordering system and menu, as well as let us sample a couple of cheeses from their pantry! The place was nice and had a homely feeling to it. Will definitely be back again for the delicious bagels:)

This is a cute little bakery with great bagels and the owner is very nice. Knowing we were new to town, she ended up loading us with tons of bagels to take home and try! Very nice of her.
All of their bagel sandwiches looked good. I had a create your own with turkey that I loved. The lox bagel looks delicious too. And we tried several cream cheese spreads and liked them all! I recommend the bagel chips! They are very flavorful and delicious. Just don’t plan on kissing anyone later :)

This is probably my fav bagel place north of lake Union. The place is a hidden gem. Very nice selection of bagels and even better condiments and favorites

I went in on the first day of class hoping to fill a lox craving, and this place delivered! The owner was so sweet and conversational, I felt like I’d known her for a while! The food was delicious, it was the perfect way to start the quarter! Will be back, regularly :)

Sweetest owner, best cream cheeses, delicious bagels, awesome baked goods and inexpensive.

What a great place! Stopped in on a rainy day for a sandwich. Someone stepped out from behind the counter to welcome us and explain their selection. The owner, Jaclyn, offered us a taste of the chicken salad before she made our sandwich to make sure we liked it. The Blazin Bagels are fantastic, and their sandwich toppings are delicious. Try Donald’s favorite. Also, the chocolate mousse pie was rich and yummy. We’ll definitely be back soon.

You know that feeling you get when you finish a good book and you feel an immense warmth of satisfaction? How about when you walk into your Grandmother’s house and the first smell you get a whiff of is freshly baked goods as she welcomes you with a loving smile? Walking into the Fat Ducks Deli and Bakery was comparable to exactly that.
Not only did the the owner walk us through all the glorious bagel/​sandwich selections, she made a point to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. As soon as we sat down after ordering, this wonderful woman made up of sweetness brought us a plate of cream cheese and bagel chips. Then after diving into the mouth watering sandwiches, she bid her farewell by giving us each a baked good free on the house, as well as chocolates just because.
We’ll leave it as this: Fat Ducks Deli and Bakery isn’t the sandwich place that any of us truly deserve, but the one that we need. Unbelievable food. Unbelievable service. Unbelievable experience. If you want to fill up your stomach and be put in a good mood at the same time, go to this place, now.

This place has been on my radar for a while and I just never had a chance to try it out — until now! It’s a little inconspicuous as a restaurant, but it has a sign outside the restaurant so you can’t miss it. The interior definitely reminds me of someone’s house and has a pretty nice homey feel. I was a little confused when I walked in, but luckily I read other Unilocalers’ reviews and knew how to order bagel sandwiches from here. There’s a bunch of clipboard with slips of paper on your left — just fill those out and hand it to them and you’re good.
You can tell right off the bat who the owner of this place was. As another Unilocaler mentioned, some may be put off by her attitude at first, but she’s actually a very nice lady and really cares about making a sandwich that you’ll like. Jaclyn, the owner, suggested a few changes to my bagel sandwich and I’m glad she did because I’m sure she knew what she was doing. Because my bagel sandwich tasted bomb as well. I don’t even know what sauces she used or whatever, but it was great. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the bagel itself was delicious too! I can’t wait to come back and get more sandwiches here :) I’m extremely glad I live so close to this place!

–HUUUGE sandwich. All meat. Excellent for the price
–Your family when you walk in the door, the owner and I talked for awhile and had me try some samples while I looked over the menu
–Note, the russian dressing was different, you might ask to try it first, might not be your taste

Jaclyn is the best. She gave me a little pastry to try while I was waiting for my sandwich and it was the most delicious three bites of anything I had ever tasted. I loved the lox bagel so much that I went back for another sandwich and it was equally as good.

I don’t have many favorite restaurants. Nor do I have many ‘bests’. Not because I’m a foodie or snob — the opposite actually, food is sometimes a burden and a chore, a thing you have to eat because otherwise it hurts. So I don’t often pay attention to food and I can’t usefully compare this or that ramen shop or those and these doughnuts. I came in to Fat Ducks expecting a grab and go fast breakfast sandwich, but I left a changed man. I picked up a jalapeño, pepperjack, sausage and egg sandwich. The lady in front urged me to eat in and enjoy it, and lightly suggested a coffee too. Why not? They brought it to me when ready and I dove in.
Prior to this sandwich I didn’t understand what bagels were. To me, bagels were always thick, doughy resignations, for sad motel breakfasts or campus event catering. I had no idea they could be so flaky and toasty and flavorful. The sausage and egg were thick, hearty patties, spiced and savory, not overly salty at all. The cheese! I’m lactose intolerant! I hate cheese! But it was so melty, chewy, and just the right amount of tangy. And the coffee was great. I savored the sandwich, missed my bus, and would happily do so again. Best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had.

The owner, Jaclyn, is super nice. I just moved to Seattle (down the street, actually) less than 3 weeks ago and Jaclyn chatted with me while preparing my to-​go order. Jaclyn threw in a free dessert as long as I promised to call her and let her know how my husband and I liked our sandwiches.
I didn’t call her, but came back the next day instead (with my hubby) to let her know in person… and order lunch again. :) This time, as we were walking out the door after our meal, Jaclyn handed us a bag of 5 bagels to take home for free. Amazing! I sliced them and put them in baggies in the freezer to make ham/​egg/​cheese sandwiches with.
My husband ordered the Lucky Duck and said it was better than Paseo, the over-​hyped sandwich shop in Fremont. I got the Daisy Duck on a croissant. Jaclyn’s chicken salad is super good with tons of dill, just the way my mom makes it.
The sandwiches are meant to be made on the Blazing Bagels which Fat Ducks carries. Their asiago is the only asiago bagel I’ve ever liked. Most of the time it smells too… I don’t know, sour/​funky? But this asiago bagel was what I’ve always dreamed such a bagel would taste like.
You’ll also want to order dessert. Peanut Butter Death Bar is a must-​try.

I wanted to give this place 5 stars before eating the food just because the owner was soooo nice, but thankfully the chicken salad sandwich was delish, so my 5-​star rating is well deserved!

Okay, I want this to be the best review a writer could deliver. I went into this place to grab some sandwiches to take a friend and his parents at the UW hospital (in the ICU). The gal behind the counter, Jaclyn, the owner and a wonderful character to be sure, started asking me questions while she made my bagel sandwiches. She got out of me the story about this young man in the hospital, an amazing story to be sure. She had me wait while she served another customer and then proceeded to load me up with over $ 150 in food, bagels, delights, sandwiches, chips and more. I carried out three full and heavy plastic bags of delicious foods. She told me to feed this family and the nurses and anybody else who was touched by this young man’s life. I wanted to take her picture, but she insisted I not. So, I demanded a hug which she gave me. She’s an excellent hugger!
I could leave off right there and be satisfied, but when I got to the hospital and sat down with this family to eat the food. It was truly outstanding and worth a 5 star rating regardless of this saint’s gifts. This food was made with love, and I was in heaven with each scrumptious bite. Jaclyn told me, «You just pass it forward.» I think I saw tears in her eyes, but I couldn’t quite tell through the tears that were in mine.

This little duck filled wonder offers so much deliciousness. It’s one of those places you shouldn’t look past!
I came here for the first time looking for some lunch after seeing that it had bagel sandwiches. After a poor experience with bagel sandwiches at the airport, I was willing to give this little deli a shot since the pictures looked so good. I found the sandwich order forms on the wall, but was a little lost as to where all the bagel choices were. The lady at the front helped me and she showed me all the fresh bagels at the front of the entrance. She recommended any of the cheese bagels for sandwiches because they are bigger and can hold all the filling a bit better than the others. So I decided to get the asiago bagel.
There are many sandwich choices, all named after ducks. I chose Daffy Duck with chicken instead of tuna. You can add mayo, mustard, and other veggies to it as well. I first opted out for mayo and mustard, but the lady recommended I add them on because they make the sandwich that much better. So I took her suggestion and went for it.
The owner in the back, Jaclyn, is such a sweetheart. She called my name out and asked me if it was my first time here. She gave me a spoonful of the chicken salad filling to make sure I liked it. And I sure did! It was a delicious, giant spoonful! I took my sandwich and pecan bar to-​go and headed home.
That bagel sandwich is big. They cut it in half nicely and I only finished half during round one. Round two came two hours later. The chicken salad is so filling and creamy. It is a tad bit on the salty side, but still divine. I love the addition of red onion, and adding dijon mustard was such a good recommendation. My asiago bagel was the perfect vessel and added that cheesey flair.
Pecan bar, so gooey, ooey, and caramely. I loved it. It’s a huge, thick piece that can easily be shared. Pecans are everywhere and submerged in this thick caramel sauce that will have your sweet tooth smiling.
Overall, this place just tastes so homemade. It makes me feel like I’m getting real home cooking. I paid a little less than $ 12 for my sandwich and pecan bar without tip. Although maybe a little pricey for a sandwich, it was just so worth it.

It was late on a Sunday night and I was craving for a sandwich. That doesn’t happen often.
I called and placed my order 15 minutes before closing and the owner initially told me the sandwich bar was closed but called me back 10 seconds later and said she would make it for me! I ordered the Ducks in a Row on a pizza bagel and it was amazing. Packed with so much meat and it was the perfect amount to share. We also had a pecan bar — it was SO GOOD. Perfect shortbread crust and gooey pecan topping. DELICIOUS.
