Bake Shop - Review - Queen Anne - Seattle - The Infatuation
"This bakery is a beacon of good feelings near the Space Needle, an area that can get dreadfully boring fast. There’s natural wine for sale, a few comfortable seats to linger among the bread smells and espresso machine hisses, and really good salty whipped cream that tops caffeinated drinks, like black sesame iced lattes or matcha-spiked horchata. But you’re really here for pastries, and for that, you’re in good hands with most of the lot. Think of Bake Shop’s cardamom horn like a not-too-sweet honey bun, only in the shape of a wand, and filled with cardamom warmth. And their ham and cheese pastry kicks the pants off any jambon-filled croissant—it’s shaped like a cinnamon roll, slathered with a swirl of mustard, and potato baked directly into the dough. If you have a lazy morning to kill or an out-of-town visitor to meet up for coffee and a bite, the only answer is Bake Shop." - Aimee Rizzo
