"It doesn’t get much more classic Ballard than this Danish bakery. Larsen’s does everything from seeded bread to wedding cakes to Danish specialties like kringle (basically a big sweet pretzel). But if you’re coming here it’s probably for a little treat, like a bear claw, or a spandau (which is a bit like a Danish, only with jam or custard in the center). Don’t sleep on the humble doughnut, especially when the red velvet variety is hanging around." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle
