Miriam's Bakeshop — Restaurant in Mercer Island

After leaving a doctor appointment, I was looking for a quick bite and coffee. Google showed Miriam's nearby. Didn't know of it so I decided to check it out. The pastries were delicious. Rugelach, a delicious muffin, challah that looked beautiful. I bought several items for only about $20. Oh, and there is very reasonably-priced coffee that you can serve yourself if you want a cup to go or while you wait your turn. Also, the young owner is very friendly and helpful with describing the items. The atmosphere is nice. Photos posted are accurate. I highly recommend trying this...

We stopped by Miriam‘s on a Sunday morning just to see what it was all about, the person working in the cash register was so kind and welcoming. She explained all of the items and answered our questions so kindly. She even let us try a cookie for free! We ended up buying three baked goods and they are all phenomenal!! The bagels look amazing and that’s what we are going to try next time! also, it was so affordable, all three of our baked goods were only five dollars!! We will...

My goodness, such a delicious, unique bakery! In a world of French bakeries, this one stands out as very different, with much more of an Eastern European / Jewish taste. The Jerusalem bagel, focaccia (!!), and burek are all very tasty, and the sweet goods are as well. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! Note that this is not a sit-down bakery, but there are free outdoor tables in a shopping side...
