Gingko tea is a coffe/bubble tea/tea shop on the Ave. They offer all sorts of tea options - cold milk tea, hot milk tea, tea smoothie, real fruit milk tea smoothies.... All sorts of espresso drinks are also available, as is some unusual treats like chocolate chai (mmmm). There are also some "nibbles" available. A good place to study or talk if you want a quiet, well-lit place.

A fairly new bubble tea cafe in Edmonds, near Ranch 99, Tapioca Express has the best tapioca (bubbles, pearls, boba) I have ever tried. You can choose between the regular large size tapiocas or mini-tapiocas. For some reason, the two sizes taste totally different. The large size tastes about the same as any other bubble tea place. But the mini tapiocas -- yum! Multiple flavors available, including some harder to find ones, like sesame. Mostly meant for carry out.

I have been having alterations done by Diane's since it was basically a one-person operation (admittedly, though, I don't have alterations done very often). Now Diane employs several sewers to help with alterations. I'm not sure if she still does some herself or not. Located by U-Village, it's a non-frou-frou place where you'll get good quality work at a reasonable price.

Luisa's, formerlly Rosita's, is located across from the Crown Hill QFC, formerlly Art's (ah, those were the days...). The best thing about Luisa's is that you get a homemade tortilla, straight off the grill, when you walk in the door. Most of the seating is booths. I don't think the food is that good, but my husband thought his was ok.

Casa Vallarta, just across the street from Crossroads mall, is a very nice family-run Mexican restaurant. Service is very friendly and especially baby-friendly. The food is good with some options, like spinach tamales, that aren't often found on the standard Mexican restaurant menu. Walls are very colorfully painted. Booths prevail.

Filled with Native American artifacts, including canoes hung from the ceiling, and overlooking Lake Union with a pretty view of the Space Needle, Ivar's Salmon House is a popular restaurant to treat out of towners to salmon prepared Northwest-style (that is, alderwood smoked). Other seafood and fish dishes are also available. Cornbread comes with the meal. Overall, a pleasant meal experience.

Thai Heaven, near Seattle Center, has probably seen better days. The interior is a bit dingy and worn, but, on the brighter side, it is quiet and not at all crowded. The food is ok, and that's about it. The biggest disappointment was the orange chicken, described on the menu as, "chicken and vegetables in a spicy orange sauce." The "vegetables" turned out to be 3 pieces of broccoli.
