ditch the Stress! Bring pies from Bang Bang cafe home for the holiday

The holidays are here, and in Seattle, that means cozy sweaters, twinkling lights... and often, kitchen chaos. This year, let the bakers at Bang Bang Cafe take the most challenging dish off your list so you can focus on the friends, family, and magic of the season!

Here at our cafe on Western Avenue, we bring a little bit of New Mexico sunshine to every dish—and our pies are no exception. They are the perfect, comforting finish to your holiday meal, whether you’re serving a crowd or just treating yourself.

Our bakers are preparing five signature pies. Each pie is made entirely in-house, from the flaky crust to the last dollop of whipped topping.

1. classic Pumpkin Pie

You know and love our traditional pumpkin pie, but we elevate it with a subtle, warming blend of New Mexican spices. Built on a crisp pâte sucrée crust, our pumpkin filling is rich, silky, and topped with a light, homemade marshmallow. It's the comforting classic you need, perfected by Bang Bang.

Available vegan

2. Whiskey maple pecan

Deeply caramelized, buttery filling packed with crunchy pecans and finished with a distinct, mature note of high-quality whiskey and maple syrup.

3. old fashioned apple pie

Flaky, all-butter crust bursting with tender, crisp apples and warm cinnamon.

Available vegan

4. chocolate cream pie

A rich crust layered with smooth, decadent chocolate mousse and finished with fresh whipped cream

Having a morning meeting?

Do you have an event or a morning meeting coming up soon?

Or perhaps you simply want to stock your refrigerator with a growler of our delicious house-made nitro cold brew to enjoy at home? We’ve got you covered! We use local Lighthouse Roasters to brew our cold brew fresh.

Take a moment to check out our Catering and Bakery boxes page for easy and convenient ordering options, or feel free to reach out and let us know what specific items you need for a custom order!

All of our delicious items, including baked goods, fresh breads, and flavorful Hatch chile sauces, are carefully baked and prepared in-house to ensure quality. We believe that if you pull your morning pastry from a coffee shop only to find it in a sealed plastic bag, you’re truly shortchanging yourself in the experience. :)

What is New Mexican cuisine?

What is New Mexican cuisine?

We get this question SO much at Bang Bang Cafe, we thought this would be the best way to start our blog! For starters, let’s introduce ourselves! My sister and I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We lived a couple blocks away from our favorite restaurants, Los Cuates and Hurricanes. Hatch Chiles are everywhere in New Mexico, from burgers, and pizza to eggs, jams and jellies, and even sushi! When we moved up to the Pacific Northwest we were shocked that we couldn’t get Hatch Chile’s anywhere up here!

In 2009 we had the opportunity to start the Bang Bang Café in Belltown. It was so fun and amazing, Yuki was able to bake everyday. I would cook and we found inspiration daily in the Belltown community.

With no local Hatch chile distributors available, we found a way to sneak up 50 lbs of green chile once a month. I would pull my little red Ford Ranger up to the huge loading locks at Southwest Air Cargo next to the semi trucks and pick up our precious cargo!

New Mexican cuisine is a fusion of Pueblo Native American cuisine, Mexican and Hispano-Spanish cuisine. Hatch Chile refers to a variety of the anaheim pepper that is grown in an area around Hatch in southern New Mexico. The soil and growing conditions in the Hatch Valley create a unique terroir which contributes to the unique flavor. New Mexican cuisine developed in fairly isolated circumstances which has allowed it to maintain its Indigenous, Spanish, Mexican, and Latin identity. It is unlike any other Latin food originating in the US.

At Bang Bang Café, we offer Red and Green Hatch Chiles on many items. You can either smother your burrito in green, red or X-mas style sauce. We offer a select menu of baked goods, concha bread, scones, banana bread & cookies, as well as slices of carrot cake, galettes, and tiramisu. To go along with your fresh cherry almond scone, have a latte from our full espresso bar serving locally roasted Lighthouse Roasters. Or a sherry spritzer to cool the heat from your Xmas style smothered burrito.

We have a variety of items to accommodate any dietary needs, with a focus on vegan items. You’ll be able get the best vegan desserts in Seattle!

After being closed for a couple years during covid, we are so excited to be back open in Belltown, and excited to see you again!
