"From the team behind popular bakery Saint Bread comes The Wayland Mill, an airy all-day cafe in Northlake specializing in the art of Japanese breakfast. That means springy tamago omelettes, deep-dark miso soup, and a sesame-slicked pea shoot salad we’d destroy by the bucketful. But you’re really here for pie. It’s a tough decision between the shoyu-salted peanut butter icebox, or a key lime stand-in featuring sudachi custard—both are already contenders for the city’s finest slices. Dinner is in the works, too, but in the meantime, we’ll be hanging out by the water for 2pm pie breaks." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo
"This highly anticipated spot from the team behind Saint Bread and Hinoki is located not far from either, and specializes in Japanese-American dishes. Here you'll find things like tamago omelettes, bacon-scallion scones zapped with ginger, and peanut butter shoyu pie. Right now, the flashy new Northlake space is open from 8am-3pm, Wednesday through Saturday." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"A new cafe and restaurant from Yasuaki Saito currently in soft-open mode serving breakfast and baked goods; the peanut butter pie is already a standout—reminiscent of an upscale Reese’s-style dessert with peanut butter and chocolate notes. The filling stays light and fluffy while a sesame-chocolate crust provides heft, and the whipped cream is topped with gently roasted, caramel-coated nuts that add crunch without excessive sweetness." - Harry Cheadle

"At 3800 Latona Avenue in Wallingford, owner Yasuaki Saito (of acclaimed bakery Saint Bread and pizzerias Post Alley and Tivoli) is adding a Burke-Gilman Trail–adjacent bistro-style place that will be open all day and serve what he described to Seattle Met as “Americana food applied with Japanese ingredients and Japanese sensibilities.” The project's placement next to the trail and Saito's existing track record indicate a continuation of the thoughtful, ingredient-forward approach he's known for; as the write-up puts it, at this point, you should trust what Saito and his team are doing." - Harry Cheadle
