Bismark-style (custard-filled) maple bars in Seattle? Thank you!!! I'll have to stop by on my way to a hike or something. |

Bismark-style (custard-filled) maple bars in Seattle? In San Francisco last year (at Donut World in Inner Sunset) I accidentally happened upon custard-filled maple bars. Thank ye Jesus! Has anyone heard of filled maple bars here in Seattle or even the greater NW area? I've done my fair share of doughnuting, but have yet to happen across these fine specimens and would love to have one or twelve. Thanks! |

Moonlight Cafe on 20th & Jackson has incredible broth. It's your general secret hole-in-the-wall type joint. |

Please help an overwhelmed mom with restaurant recs! For a parent-only night I'd go big and hit up Rovers or Luc: http://thechefinthehat.com/ ----- Cafe Campagne Queen Anne Cafe Space Needle Salumi Book Bindery |

Healthy vegetarian date spot in Seattle Carmelita is absolutely the best date-night option for romance. Sutra is nice too, but you may share a table which does not lend to intimate date-night conversation. |

Best (or decent) Chinese in QA/Fremont/Wallingford/Univ. District? I dig Mandarin Chef in U-District...the tangy crispy eggplant thing, and you MUST order their hand-cut wide noodles. Super good. Soups are also highly recommended. ----- |

Torontonian coming for a short visit - approve? PS-great research already! Sitka & Spruce, Nettletown, and Long Provincial = yummm ----- |

Torontonian coming for a short visit - approve? Good coffee is better up on Capitol Hill at Victrola Coffee Roasters or Stumptown, but certainly give Motore (at the corner of 4th and Stewart) a shot...I mean you can't beat that convenience. I'd hit up Barolo or Farestart for lunch within a few blocks of work. Are you staying in White Center?! Yikes, not a lot of good food options within walking distance there. Certainly check out Full Tilt Ice Cream (dairy-free options as well) and um...maybe Proletariat Pizza across the street. If the weather is nice go to Alki to walk/take photos/get a unique view of the city. I'd recommend spending Sunday in Ballard...hit the farmer's market on Ballard Ave, grab coffee at Nervous Nellies if you visit the Ballard Locks, or at Cafe Besalu (you can't miss it...it's the one with the line out the front door and down the street) or even at the Dutch Bike next to Walrus and the Carpenter (good coffee out of a bike shop - strange I know). ----- Victrola Coffee Cafe Besalu Barolo Farestart Full Tilt Icecream |

Must try restaurants near Sea-Tac airport-4 hours layover I agree with the above poster...taking public transit would cut it real close going all the way to downtown Seattle. A cab to downtown and back will run you almost $100. There are decent food options in Burien and White Center, but not what I would classify as "Seattle flavor". ----- |

Equal Exchange Espresso in Ballard does a long pull that I highly recommend (in front of a grocery store, I know...it's bizarre). Aster (also Ballard) has a beautiful clover machine and an ever-changing variety of single-origin coffees if you're looking for un-espresso. General tip: ----- Equal Exchange Espresso Urban Coffee Lounge |

Btw, they squashed the idea of Kailash before it ever got off the ground. :/ http://www.seattledining.com/news_byt... |

Well you certainly can't expect restaurant-quality at a ballpark, that'll just never happen. However, compared to all the other pizza at the ballpark...it's certainly better by leaps and bounds. |
|
|
Yes, that Modern Apizza. |
|

Looking for toddler-friendly AND delicious in Queen Anne heh, I'd recommend getting something frozen at Eat Local and taking it home! :) ----- |

I tried the seasonal veggie crepe (with beechers cheese) and was really impressed (for ballpark food!). It's truly a great option for the ballpark, and priced very reasonably considering other food options at the park. I previously would eat before games or bring my own food, but I love having the option of good food there now! |

agreed, and their Georgia pecan pancake with coconut pecan syrup is inspiring. |

Austin CH visiting Seattle with toddler This article has some good suggestions: |

Everything you just said goes for me. |

Seafood/fish CSA or Bulk Shares? That is what I was going to suggest. Though I'm not sure how much you would have to buy? Trident Seafoods store on Market Street by the Ballard Locks might be a good place to start. Or just cold-call the local seafood processors. The ones I can think of off the top of my head: |

Austin CH visiting Seattle with toddler It's not a sit-down place, and you'd have to stand in line with toddler (could be good or bad depending on weather)...but Paseo is a good fun lunch option (or Uneeda Burger just across the street). Toulouse Petit for breakfast/brunch or Bastille in Ballard for weekend brunch (on Sunday for farmers market!). Cafe Besalu for a light meal (they only have french pastries, quiche and PERFECT espresso---beware of their hours - 7a-3p and closed Mon/Tues). We (as in adults and the child) love Row House - my son loves their Kremlin grilled sandwhich...swiss ementhaler on rosemary bread with russian-style aioli. I'm generally pretty ballsy when it comes to taking my kid anywhere. If it isn't 21+ I will bring him....kids like good tasting food too! It really depends on your child's "restaurant behavior" though, not all children handle themselves well (or had a nap before food time). 12th Avenue on Capitol Hill is really blowing up right now, you'll find lots of new restaurants there....as well as Ballard Avenue, but many are bars. :/ Sweet treats have taken Seattle by storm the past few years, try the many frozen custard places, cupcake shops, Molly Moons, Fainting Goat Gelato, or my personal fav D'Ambrosio Gelato. Evidently the new craze is pie. (Pie in Fremont, High 5 Pie on Cap Hill) Hope you have a great trip and find some good food! :) ----- Cafe Besalu Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream Bastille Cafe & Bar PIE Toulouse Petit |

in search of amazing espresso and vegetarian food Thanks for the recommendations...just arrived today and am realizing what a crazy suburban stripmall sun city is! Guess we'll be making the trek into the city for good food and coffee! A lady has standards!! Pita Jungle hit the spot for dinner tonight :) |

ChowParents and ChowTeen coming to visit U of W and Seattle U I can't believe I didn't think of Cafe Presse. A must-try for brunch....Portage Bay is another excellent suggestion. ----- |

ChowParents and ChowTeen coming to visit U of W and Seattle U I think the Seattle U area (Cap Hill) is a bit richer in regional fare than U District (UW)....UW area has a lot of ethnic food! Lark is right across the street from Seattle U. |

in search of amazing espresso and vegetarian food Heading down to Phoenix in a few days and am starting to panic as my internet research is coming up short on coffee and vegetarian-friendly recommendations! We're a party of 3 - two vegetarian adults and one vegetarian five year old who are extreme foodies - the food part of a vacation is just as important as activities and local history. We're also all hopeless tex-mex/mex food fiends. Authentic or bust. We'll be hanging out around Sun City / Peoria / Glendale (yup, baseball) and have a rental car, but aren't really trying to drive an hour for a cup of joe. So that rules out Village Roastery and puts Press Coffee on the bubble. We'd like to try one or two really good "native" cuisine restaurants - it appears to be sonoran/tex-mex type food? So far we've got Tuck Shop, St. Francis, Citizen Public House, Gallo Blanco, Eliana's, and Maizie's on the list (yays? nays?) and will check out Cartel Coffee Lab when we're downtown. I'd love a slew of recommendations to try out! Thanks so much :) ----- Gallo Blanco Cafe Citizen Public House |
