"After more than a decade on Capitol Hill, I'm sad to see Crumble and Flake Patisserie — a tiny but cherished French-style bakery known for delicate, flaky kouign-amann — announce it will be closing its Capitol Hill storefront, with its last day this Sunday, November 12, before moving in December to a cottage-like building in Gilman Village in Issaquah (apparently the former home of the historic Boarding House). Owner Toby Matasar, who bought the shop in 2017 from Neil Robertson (who opened it in 2012), said the new location will serve not just baked goods but also comfort food like corned beef hash, and she plans to bring back items such as the Reuben sandwich tied to her earlier ventures." - Harry Cheadle
