"Reopened last year at a new Central District location, this Seattle classic still carries staples like a bread pudding for dessert, but on my last visit I opted for the matcha strawberry cheesecake instead: creamy and thick—you really have to push your fork through it—with matcha lending an earthy, grassy flavor; the peak-season strawberry topping might be too sweet and jammy on its own, but it’s a terrific contrast to the decidedly not-too-sweet cake. It may be off the menu soon (if it isn’t already), but pastry chef Manda Mangrai is killing it and will surely have another idea just as good." - Harry Cheadle
