BIZNOTE: New (sort of) evening hangout in West Seattle Junction

They’re popular for pastries … and now you can delight in their desserts after-hours!

Snapdragon, on the ground-floor corner of the Center for Active Living (4217 SW Oregon), just expanded its hours to open its doors as a champagne-and-dessert bar some nights: Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights, to be specific, from 4 pm until 9-ish, and tonight was Night 1.

Snapdragon is the offshoot of a beloved bakery on Vashon, and started West Seattle operations as a pop-up, eventually putting down roots.

    That almost looks like the pastry case from the original bakery

      That’s what I thought it was, too!

      Snapdragon charges way more than Original Bakery ever did though. R.I.P.

      Except the contents of this case is way better.

    Anyone else not really a fan of Snapdragon pastries? Why they so huge? Those cinnamon rolls could serve four people.  Huge and kind of bland except for sugar flavor?

      Very very overrated!! The staff are super nice but I haven’t been very impressed by any of the massive ridiculously sized pastries. 

  • Lexi February 21, 2025 (9:11 am)

    I love this place. The staff is very kind as well.

    I looked on their website and it doesn’t have a menu at all for items that they sell in West Seattle, snap dragon. It would be helpful and nice to include a menus versus just photos

    Wow I did not know this pop up existed – definitely will have to check them out, we usually stop at Snapdragon when we’re on Vashon

    When are their “regular” hours in West Seattle? I’m not seeing anything on the website.

    My teenage son invited me to breakfast this morning for the first time in my life. He took me to Snap Dragon and it was fantastic! Cinnamon rolls and a hand crafted latte were delicious. The staff very sweet and accommodating. Oh..and our puppy was invited in too.

    The baked goods on offer follow a whimsical path, never the same from day to day. Vashon has a menu, but usually out of something. I enjoy the random surprise factor!

    Snapdragon opening in the Junction this week was much needed good news after a stressful week. I stopped by a few minutes before closing last night and most of their tables were still occupied. It felt  immediately welcoming and like a piece of our neighborhood that we didn’t know was missing has been found. The portions are generous — plenty for friends to share or for leftovers to enjoy later. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I brought home gf hazelnut chocolate cake, tiramisu, and a chocolate chip cookie to share. Love that they are here and will be back very soon.

    Great news!  I love their pastries.  For all the folks wishing they were smaller, they freeze well.  Great pastries at a great price and generous servings!

Sorry, comment time is over.
