Our Favorite Bakeries In The Country Right Now - The Infatuation
"This tiny bakery in Downtown Bothell serves pastries that would crush the competition in a reality baking series. There are hazelnut praline-bottomed tarts that are almost too beautiful to destroy with a fork. The basque cheesecake has an ideal balance of burnt edge and custardy middle, and airy choux stuffed with berry compote is a decadent breakfast we could eat on repeat for weeks. But the savory stuff is impressive, too—like spongy focaccia glazed with black truffle honey, or a Dungeness-stuffed curry scone that’s better than any crab cake in Seattle. The menu changes weekly, but expect greatness every time. Just be sure to exercise patience on the weekends when lines are long." - anne cruz, team infatuation, jackie gutierrez jones 2, carina finn koeppicus, megan braden perry, julia chen 1, chelsea thomas, veda kilaru, ryan pfeffer, aimee rizzo, nikko duren, nicolai mccrary, candis mclean, juli horsford
