Showcase | Wagner's European Bakery & Cafe
A Wagner's Legend
World-Famous Cinnamon Bread
It's the loaf that started it all. Wagner's World-Famous Cinnamon Bread is a swirled masterpiece: soft, fragrant, and rich with cinnamon in every slice. Baked fresh daily and sold at our bakery and retail locations across the South Sound, it's the one thing customers always take home. Toast it, eat it plain, or gift it. There's no wrong way to enjoy a loaf.
An Olympia Staple
Carrot Cake
Ask any regular and they'll tell you: the carrot cake is not to be missed. Dense, moist, and packed with freshly grated carrot, it's been a local favorite for decades. Every version is finished with a thick layer of velvety cream cheese frosting and topped with a hand-crafted fondant carrot. Available in four ways: a full round cake for celebrations, a 4-inch cake ring, a classic carrot square, or a small treat to enjoy alongside your meal.
Old World Favorites
European Favorites
Some of our most beloved recipes come straight from the European baking tradition. The Wahe is a crisp shortbread shell filled with silky vanilla custard and crowned with fresh seasonal fruit. Cream Horns are flaky pastry cones piped full of lightly sweetened whipped cream. Bienenstich, our Bee Sting Cake, layers a soft yeast dough with a caramelized almond honey topping and a rich cream filling. And our Tiramisu brings the Italian classic to life with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a light, airy cappuccino mousse. Each one a little taste of the old country, made fresh every morning.
Old World Craft
Cakes & Tortes
From our classic Black Forest Torte layered with dark chocolate, kirsch-soaked cherries, and fresh whipped cream, to custom celebration cakes built to order. Every cake is assembled by hand and finished with care. Whether it's a birthday, wedding, or just because, we'll make it memorable.
Cafe Service
Espresso & Coffee
We proudly serve Caffe D'arte, an Italian-roasted espresso with deep, smooth flavor and a velvety finish. Whether you're in the mood for a hot latte, a classic Americano, or a cold iced coffee on a warm Olympia morning, our full espresso menu has you covered. The perfect companion to anything from our case.
