"Walking in here in the morning is a full assault on the senses, the sweet and savory pastries at Fuji could tempt even the most devoted Atkins Diet or Gluten-free disciple. Three words: beef curry bun." - Shore
"Suppose we held a croissant seminar and invited (forced) all the deflated French pastries across Seattle to enroll. Meet the professor. Fuji’s laminated showing is the platonic ideal to aspire to, which is all the more exciting for a bakery known for donuts. With a brittle-thin shell that cracks like crème brûlée, subtle sweetness, and a beehive-like network of moist, malty fluff inside, it has everything you want in such a classic—and nothing you don’t." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"This Japanese bakery in the International District is a great place to pick up a fresh malasada. They have a handful of standard Hawaiian flavors like ube and lilikoi, but the greatest one here is the Crunchy Cream—vanilla bean-speckled custard stuffed into a brioche donut that gets rolled in sugar and cornflakes. It’s a nightmare to bite into if you just vacuumed your car, but absolutely worth it. We’re also fans of their mochi donuts, and if you’re reading this without a sweet tooth, you could also grab a curry kare-pan, a fried panko-coated bun filled with beef and Japanese curry." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"You may have heard about the crunchy cream donut from Fuji. It’s a fried dough ball stuffed with pastry cream and coated in Frosted Flakes. But we’re here to tell you that the cereal puff is a distraction from the outstanding chocolate chip cookie. It’s barely undercooked in the middle, crispy on the outside, tastes like toasty caramel, and the flat chocolate discs make everything a huge gooey mess we’d sacrifice a white shirt for." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, kayla sager riley
"Fuji Bakery, with a walk-up window at its location on the corner of Sixth and King, combines ingredients and techniques from Japan and France to create wonders like the matcha cruffin. Many people visit Fuji for its savory breads and pastries, such as kare-pan (curry bun) and epi (with bacon and English mustard). Others prefer the sweets, like anpan, yuzu tarts, year-round panettone, and best-selling crunchy cream malasadas." - Jay Friedman
