Angel’s Bakery

LOVE their Huckleberry Pies! Best Bakery in the State of Washington! Hell Best bakery in the Northwest in regards to pies!

Angel’s Bakery is one the anticipated highlights on my trips to the Gorge. Make no mistake, this is not just any little rural roadside Bakery, before opening his own business, Angel was a Pastry Chef at the swanky Skamania Lodge for many years and has trained with the best master bakers in the nation. He also does everything from wedding cakes to treats for special events, like the Huckelberry Festival.
His experience shines through in his flakey strudel with Bavarian cream filling (a personal favorite). He also uses seasonal fruit fillings so look for raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, or the illusive huckleberry to make appearances in the sumptuous muffins and scones. Speaking of scones, you must try them, and at $ 1 they are half price and on par with what you’d find at a Starbucks or more upscale bake shop. All the quality and half the price, my kind of place!
To some locals that are comparing the prices to the local supermarkets, ok it’s a little more expensive, but you cannot compare these fresh baked, quality treats with a Rosauer’s donut or packaged cookies.
Plus, if you buy your pastries for your Sunday church socials from Angel, you are supporting and keeping your money in the local community. You are helping your parisioners/​neighbors and creating jobs in the Gorge — and saving in gas and bridge tolls! (yes, i’m talking to you Margaret, please don’t let me eat another processed-​sugar lard roll on my next visit!)

This is my favorite place for buying gifts. Yes, gifts. A huge box of pastries brings a smile to everyone’s face.

Confession first: Anjel was my son’s soccer coach and has become a family friend. A former pastry chef at Skamania Lodge, Anjel’s baked goods are outstanding. While the daily fare is more panaderia (we have a large hispanic community), Anjel specializes in cakes, pies and desert confections, and as stated in another post, the prices are rediculously low. Great stuff & a wonderful family.

Found Angel’s bakery on Mother’s day, met the owner & he was telling us he has been in business only two weeks. They weren’t even supposed to be open since it was a Sunday but they were making a bunch of special order cakes. We wandered in & were looking for a cup of joe & found the air permeated with the most wonderful smells of baking. Of course they had some caraffes of coffee to fill our fix, but they also had some pastries calling out to us from the display case. They also had some specialty Ice Cream of which we also had to sample.
We appreciated the hospitality, thanks.
