Had a really cuddly and warm time at this cute little cafe on rainy Saturday morning! The songs are great! The food is quite refreshing, the options too many and confusing, you want to try it all! I had the truffle egg salad croissant, really creamy and flavorful! The coffee beautifully made, tasted like heaven! Will definitely be returning back!

I just recently discovered this wonderful place and I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Their pastries and breakfast sandwiches are some of the best I've ever experienced! Super cool, friendly staff too. I started referring friends after my first visit! It's hard to choose a favorite, but I'd say the twice baked pistachio croissant, the thin, chocolate dipped croissant, and the strawberry scone are my top choices so far. The ferry sandwich is delicious, as is the mushroom gruyere croissant, if you're looking for something more savory. Full marks to a great new favorite!

I attended the 1st Seattle Best Croissant & Baguette Competition on 3/23/25 and was struck by the accomplished baking skill of the pâtissier at Rila Bakery & Café. The fact that the pâtissier worked in a restaurant but turned to pastry to develop a business is ASTONISHING. Her mushroom croissant and the salmon croissant as well as the pistachio croissant were delicious! The fresh ingredients from the Seattle are show in the croissant taste. The event showcased a few other pastries and their baguette . But I was so struck by the savory croissants, I kept coming back to their table. Delicious! Lucky you in Lynwood area to have Rila Bakery & Café easily available to you!

I really don’t want to write this review because I don’t want the secret to get out… But this place deserves to go viral. If you are looking for the best breakfast sandwiches and pastries in the area (and debatably the state of Washington), look no further. The breakfast sandwiches and croissants are to die for. Rich, savory, and absolutely delicious. The croissants are the best I’ve ever had. Period. The perfect butter crust and fluffy inside will make all other croissants feel like a waste of chewing energy. If you’re feeling like something sweet, I highly recommend the almond croissant. Don’t miss trying The Ferry breakfast sandwich. It’s perfection. The spicy mayo sets it off and puts your taste buds into outer space. You can’t go wrong with any menu item here. You’re welcome.

Had a lovely experience at this bakery/cafe. I drove by it yesterday and when I realized there was a cafe of my favorite Sanrio character I had to check them out! Rila is a peaceful place with a quiet but friendly atmosphere. They have lots of baked goods to choose from, some I'd say are unique, even for the area. Personally I got their version of Ham and Cheese with a chocolate dipped, flat croissant. Both were delicious. I also ordered an iced cafe mocha, my typical drink. Theirs is sweet, with a tasty mocha flavor and a healthy portion of milk. Whip cream on top :) Staff was friendly and working hard on orders. Attentive to customers. Please check them out! As a side note, I've been to the Rilakkuma Cafe in Kyoto, and while they do not appear affiliated, it was nice being able to reminisce in that experience while I was here... enjoy :)

I’ve been looking for a place with banging scones and I’ve found it! I got the strawberry one and it was perfect. Crunchy outside, soft and moist inside. The coffee is fantastic. I tried a ham and cheese croissant as well. It was delicious with a perfect flakey crust and buttery flavor. The lady who served me was super nice as well. Definitely will be coming back!

SO DELICIOUS the matcha latte was scrumptious, such a good nice matcha flavor. Got 3 croissants (2 strawberry banana nutella 1 pain au chocolat) and was very satisfied with their flavor and crunch as well! A lovely summertime treat. I only wosh they would do a little more rilakkuma theming since I love rilakkuma! Maybe some blind boxes or some plushies or charms to purchase? The food and service is perfect though.

Cute little Cafe with a nice atmosphere. Fairly busy Saturday morning. The pastries were just lovely. Hokkaido Dannish was crispy and perfectly sweet with apples. The breakfast biscui-egg,cheese with chive was amazing. And a great savory counter to the Danish. Would definitely come here again.

Beyond delicious pastries with very creative variations! Every single item I ordered was astoundingly good. Their pistachio croissants are perfectly balanced. The ham in their ham and cheese croissants is super smokey and moist (I feel like the ham often dries out or is barely noticeable at most bakeries). And their truffled egg salad was so rich and luxurious. This is my second time enjoying Rila and I both ate there and got food to go. And my first time was when I was gifted pastries from Rila just a few days ago. I had to go myself!
