Temple Pastries is a bakery in Seattle's Central District, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1] Christina Wood started the business as a pop-up in 2018, and relocated to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in partnership with Broadcast Coffee Roasters in 2020.

Temple Pastries is a queer-owned[2] bakery at the intersection of 26th and Jackson in Seattle's Central District, specializing in sourdough croissants and cruffins (croissant/muffin hybrids). Seasonal varieties of croissants have included salted caramel apple, chocolate hazelnut with orange zest sugar, and plum and cardamom.[3] The bakery has also sold cakes,[4] breads, cookies,[5][6] croissant pretzels,[7] breakfast sandwiches, macarons, sweet potato jam doughnuts, and coffee and espresso drinks.[8][9] Breakfast sandwiches have bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives, or poblano, Swiss cheese, and mushroom, baked into eggs and served on a wheat bun.[10] Among the macron varieties is Autumn Leaves, which has a white chocolate ganache infused with bay leaves, cinnamon, and peppercorns.[11] Temple Pastries bakes using buckwheat, rye, and whole grain.[7][12]
