"With their flagship Phinney Ridge cafe slated to close in 2023, A la Mode Pies jumped on the opportunity to open a third location at the former site of Parfait Ice Cream in Ballard. Taking over a former ice cream shop has its perks: the decade-old bakery acquired Parfait’s pasteurizer, which will help A la Mode Pies expand its ice cream line." - Mark Van Streefkerk
