"Regent Bakery and Cafe, known for Asian-style cakes, pastries and cookies, is an Eastside favorite in Bellevue and Redmond. (There are plans to open in Issaquah.) You can stop by for pineapple buns, almond tuiles, walnut cookies and red bean mochi, but it’s best to order cakes (the mango mousse cake is especially popular) in advance. Mooncakes are available for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Redmond location also has sit-down (and takeout) service of Hong Kong/American-style Chinese food such as chow fun, salt and pepper pork chops, and honey-walnut prawns." - Jay Friedman
