The essential bakery is an upscale french style bakery. They have many varieties of breads in addition to quiches, crepes, soups and sandwiches. While the soups and sandwiches sound very good, they were a bit heavy for my taste, especially the broccoli soup. Desserts, on the other hand, were light and heavenly. I would certainly return here for pastries and desserts, but I will get my soup and sandwiches elsewhere. Expect a crush on weekends, the Madison location is quite popular.

Fuel on 19th Ave E is a great new local coffeeshop. The coffee is reasonably priced and they do have a few pastries for the sweet tooth as well. The place has WIFI and they have a couple of small tables outside for when the weather is nice. Dog friendly as well. Overall is a fun little coffeeshop, a welcome change from the everpresent shadow of starbucks.

I recently ordered a sheet cake from Borracchini's. It surpassed all of my expectations. Their website was very straightforward, so when I called to place the order I knew exactly what information to give. The cake was surprisingly inexpensive ($42 for a full sheet) and absolutely delicious. My only complaint was that their estimations are very generous. We had over half of the cake left after serving huge pieces to about 70% of their estimate. Luckily we really like cake!

Bailey-Coy is an excellent independent book seller. The staff is always helpful. If a book isn't in stock, it can be ordered. They also have readings and a good, if small, selection of magazines. Knowing the quote of the day is a great way to get 10% off of your book. They also sell leftovers at ridiculously low prices. Gift wrapping is free.

Price Photo does an amazing job. They are a bit pricey, but the color and contrast are perfect. I don't take photos anywhere else. They also do black and whites, which many places do poorly, if at all. Same day service is available for a higher price, but in general printing is fast. They also have passport photo services and a nice selection of photo frames and albums.

My husband and I stumbled onto Dr Warrick's practice by chance and have been thrilled by their service. We were able to get appointments quickly, and the services were priced very reasonably. The staff was very professional, and we weren't stuck in the waiting room for hours on end before seeing the dentist. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for competent and affordable service.

Hancock fabric has a great selection of quilting fabric and tons of. They also have a good range of decorator fabrics. Sewing and needlework accessories (including yarn, embroidery thread, and knitting needles) are also available. I was impressed by how many special occassion fabrics they had, though they seemed a bit out of date. Lots of flannel and a few seasonal apparel fabrics. Some patterns, but not a huge selection.

huge selection of movies

My husband and I have been using the Seattle Public Libraries to check out DVDs for the last year and half. I know a lot of people who love Netflicks, but the great thing about the library is that it's free for everyone! You only have to pay if you're late, and then it's only $0.15 a day. Their selection is fantastic, though you do have to wait for new releases if they're popular. Check out time is 3 weeks, so you can watch your selections at your leisure, and the limit is something like 100 items at a time. We simply order our movies online and pick them up at the branch closet to our house, which emails us when they are ready for pick up, and four days before they're due.

Tons of produce!

Rising Sun is an excellent all year produce stand. Their fruits and vegetables are almost always fully ripe, a great change from the hard and unripe fruits at many grocery stores. You may have to pick through a bit to find good pieces, but their prices can't be beat. They don't usually have organic produce, but the selection is fantastic. They also sell some local products, honey and breads, and some dried fruits.

Pacific Fabrics and Crafts has a wonderful selection of quilting fabrics. They also have a large selection of special occassion fabrics and specialty yarns. The Northgate location doesn't have a great selection of patterns, and not many notions, but if you're looking for some beautiful fabric or lace, this should be your first stop. They do have a small section for general apparel fabric, but it's more of a specialty store for calicos and more formal wear. A great choice for weddings.
