I have used Central Market Bakery for all my cake needs for the past 2 years. All of my friends have started using them as well, but tasting the fresh cakes that I have had at Baby Showers, Birthdays, Graduations, & Weddings that I have hosted. The cake is made fresh the day you pick it up. The decorating of the cakes is unblievable. They are also so friendly, and try to accomodate your request. I usually use the Central Market Bakery in Mill Creek, but did use the one in North Seattle as well. I will definately be using them to order my wedding cake this next year.

Even back in the late nineties this place had the latest organic, natural, health food. And now, since it does a good job of following the trends, it has more selection than ever. Sometimes it doesn't have everything I need, but most times I am completely satisfied. I love the attitude of the employees and the great food. They take things out of circulation if they start to decline in quality. THAT'S good business. Their buyers taste EVERYTHING so most, if not all, products are good. And affordable delicious food is a godsend for those with simpler budgets.

This is my favorite specialty store in the Market--and not just because I am Italian! Their selection is almost overwhelming. The have all sorts of Italian imports--olive oils, canned items, pastas, even cookies. They also have a refrigerated case full of take-home goodies like lasagna, ravioli, gelato and stocks. The cheese counter is a sight to behold and has more selections than anywhere else I've seen. The also have salami, bacon, sausages, olives and all the makings of a perfect antipasto platter. The fresh ricotta is heavenly. The sales staff is really friendly and knowledgeable and you will probably need them. Upstairs they keep all of their wine, and the selection is decent for a shop of their size. Again, the staff is fantastic and will steer you toward the right bottle. You really can't go wrong with anything from this store. Also, their website has tons of recipes that will help you infuse some creativity into your meals. Shops like this make cooking and entertaining fun!

If you're willing to splurge, and want a REALLY good cake, I highly suggest Whole Foods' bakery on Roosevelt. They've done a great job for me on custom cakes before. They're esp. good if you love high quality chocolate cakes or cakes for those with special dietary needs. The staff are always helpful, and if you give them a few days or a week's notice, they're able to whip up something extraordinary.
Hope this helps!

I love Trader Joes because I can count on them for having fresh products, low prices and nice workers. Their produce prices are low to start with, but they are organic on top of that. The general grocery prices are low and the Trader Joe brand products are downright cheap. I have found the quality of all the Trader Joes brand products to be exceptional. In addition to groceries, they also stock pet products, lots of wine and beer, supplements and health and beauty products. The workers are knowledgeable and always friendly. I have found all the Trader Joe stores to be clean and well kept.

Kat and Alex turned me on to this place. Oh my lordy. I get so darn excited when I get to go there it's not even funny. Delicous cupcakes made with REAL ingredients. I actually like the Babycakes better than the regular ones, as they are so rich that a lil' dab'll do ya. Yeah, they're not cheap but MY, they're tasty

Hey have you tried Dillettente Chocolate. I posted on this earlier, but their Coup Dilettente got me to Seattle. My wife absolutely loves great ice cream then give this a try.
The Olympic stuff is great by the way, you can ask a friendly restaurant guy about buying it. We haven't done that yet (mainly because we don't know what to do with 10 gallons of ice cream), but I think that is the best in town in reality. We can get ours from our friendly neighborhood restaurants. I can send you a name if you want.
Finally, I hate to bring it up, but we've made our own and if you've never had real vanilla with flower pedals ice cream made by yourself, you haven't lived. I can dig up the recipe but we had it one New Years and it was awesome.

It is from my experience that all the seafood they have here is delivered quickly from the docks. The people here are extremely knowledgable about all kinds of aspects of fish, and they handle fish expertly. They will not do the "flying fish" like they do in Pike Place, but the atmosphere of them knowing their stuff is much stronger here.
