"If you’re only coming to this colorful Danish bakery in Queen Anne for one thing, it’s the Snitter—which sounds a lot like a quidditch term, but is what would result if a cinnamon roll mated with a cheese danish. Don’t think too hard about the logistics of that. Nielsen’s has been around for decades, and the pastries are why. Definitely order some fresh Snitters whenever you stop in, but their marzipan cake is a perfect birthday dessert for any individual in your life who loves almond extract." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
