Al & Ernies Bakery Cafe - Battle Ground, Washington

I drove over 30 minutes to visit this bakery & I was not disappointed. When I tell you the line was all the way to the door, I mean the line was all the way to the door. I spent a little time with the door open as I was standing in line. This was on a Saturday around 10 am. The line went faster than I expected. They were putting fresh food in the case before I started ordering. I ordered the cinnamon roll, black forest Cornetto, and the honey lavender iced latte. I spent a little less than 20$, which I was happy with. The food was fresh, soft, and delicious. You could taste the lavender in the latte, which was a huge plus for me. The icing on the cinnamon roll was sweet but not too sweet. The Cornetto was generously filled. Every worker I encountered was friendly. I will be traveling back to get another taste. 🤤

Food is excellent. On point even. But that's not where your experience will end. Honestly, from the minute my wife and I walked in, we both agree. It's the staff and cleanliness of the entire place. Including restrooms. Staff talked to us like we were on friend terms.
This is my first time here. And now we will be by here more often.
Food was great and affordable as well.

Everything is so good here! My favorite items are their cornettos which taste like upscale cream filled donuts or their amazingly moist cinnamon rolls. The bagels are also incredible - so much better than anything you’ll find at a grocery store. My husband and I got the biscuits and gravy and a lox bagel sandwich on our last visit and both were delicious!

Wow! Wow! WOW! Battle Ground is moving on up! Al & Ernie's Bakery is probably one of the most fancy, quality bakeries in the area, but not in a snobby way. The line was about 12 deep and took 20 mins before getting served. Well worth the wait! The acoustics are not bad considering how many people were in there when I was there. Low, calm music playing in the background.

The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food tasty. The reuben was quite satisfying and dipping the chips in the tomato bisque extra yummy. The cranberry walnut crumble sample was amazing!! The Cardamom Bun exquisite and the Egg & Cheese bagel delectable!The Fox drip coffee nice, but The London Fog was wow delicious!They even offer things GF and have healthy salad options.

The parking is either on the street or in a gravel parking lot just North off the corner building they're in. Clean restrooms. And it looks like there's a big room that has barn doors that close possibly for parties or meetings! Exciting!

Job well done!!

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast date here with my sisters. I had the Lox bagel and a mocha—both were fantastic! The staff was lovely, the food was flavorful, and the atmosphere was so peaceful. I can't wait to visit again!

Love it!! Blown away!!! This place almost seems too nice for Battle Ground, and I say that as someone who's lived here for nearly 30 years.

So what do I like about it? Well, for starters, it's still called "Al & Ernie's". I really appreciate that. Battle Ground has so little history that's made it into the current year so to keep something as iconic as "Al & Ernie's" is meaningful.

The care and effort that has gone into renovating the building is excellent. It looks so nice inside and out that, again, I wonder if it's too nice for us 😅

I would come here just for the Jambon. The fact that they make their own baguettes makes the Jambon a MUST EAT! I also really enjoyed the Cardamom buns, definitely the best version of those I've ever had. So often they're too dense and under-flavored, but not these! The poppyseed muffins were absolutely worth the purchase as well.

My hot chocolate was not very well made. They were very busy when I came in and I think my cocoa slipped through the cracks. It didn't taste much like chocolate; it was very watery. When I got down to the bottom I learned where all the chocolate had been! Mistakes happen though, so I'm not upset about it.

I am not a big fan of cream cheese frosting so the cinnamon rolls weren't anything special to me. HOWEVER, they were very well made and nice and soft so if you are a fan of cream cheese frosting you will absolutely adore them!

This has become a long review, so just know that I will definitely be coming back here to try more menu items!! This is just what Old Town needed!

We live up the street and really enjoy the bakery! Everything we've had has been really delicious, but especially the Sea Salt bagels 🥯 and cinnamon rolls. Tuesdays are the days to go in if you want to beat the rush. Battle Ground is very fortunate to get this spoiled.

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Al & Ernie’s Bakery on opening day, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Despite a line out the door—a testament to its immediate popularity—we were met with outstanding customer service, delicious food, and plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy their meals comfortably.

We tried a variety of things - the breakfast bagel with bacon, a cream cornetto, biscuits and gravy, and several different coffees. Each item was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. The balance of flavors and quality ingredients truly stood out.

This cafe is a gem! and such a wonderful addition to our town. It’s a place where you can feel the warmth of the staff and the passion behind the food. I have no doubt it will quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike. We’re so happy to have a spot like Al & Ernie’s nearby—can’t wait to come back soon!
