Pastries all look and taste lumpy and heavy. My chocolate croissant was heavy. Staff look disheveled...in fact, so does the whole store. Carpet glue half-scraped off a cement floor doesn't make an...

*A warning to carnivores*: If you're looking for a place that serves meat, this isn't for you. That would be because they don't serve any. I was not aware of this fact before we stopped here hoping...

I can't speak to their lunch-fare but I came on a croissant recommendation and they were amazing as promised. Minus 1 star for being cash-only. 21st century, folks. Seriously.

I suppose that if one lives in Seattle, one could decide to factor in the cost of transportation ($20 for ferry, gas) and time (could be spent doing more productive things than eating) into the cost...

I followed AJ R's (see earlier review) advice and got a friend to bike there from Seattle with me a few months back. It made a perfect turnaround point for a Sunday bike ride and the food is AWESOME!...
