Specialty's Bakery and Cafe started in San Francisco with the idea that a good lunch starts with good bread and cookies fresh from the oven. Oatmeal raisin and almond tea cookies are my favorites, but sometimes I ask for one of the cookies that just came out of the oven. Both the Fifth Avenue and Third Avenue locations are staffed by urban hipsters who are efficient and friendly (unless you're blocking the line waiting for one of the cashiers when the other cashier is available). As for sandwiches, try the turkey cranberry or the tuna salad. I prefer to sub out the regular bread and replace it with foccacia bread. Yum! This cafe is highly recommended for a quick lunch downtown.

Where else can you find a menu with two dozen flavors of chai? My favorite is the Mexican Chocolate chai, and I enjoy the semi-sweet, semi-bitter flavor. The atmosphere is condusive to reading or typing away on either your own laptop or one of the complimentary computers available in the cafe. The award-winning staff competes in the annual barista competition, and their competence is on display in each cup of perfection. Please note, you don't want to get a latte here if you don't like a strong coffee flavor in your beverage.

Not that anyone really wants to go to the dentist, but the alternative is ugly! Dr. Albright and his wife/assistant Paula run a great business (Lake Union Dentistry) with a view of Lake Union. Dr. Albright used to work in public health, and he still contributes his time to travel to Guatemala annually to provide free dental care to those in need. Everyone is professional, and you can check-out while wearing dark sunglasses and listening to music while Dr. Albright and his staff take care of your teeth. Thanks for the smile, doc!

We used to enjoy stopping by this intimate cafe for dessert. The tres leches (three milks) cake was very good. Unfortunately, the business owner made a poor decision when he fired his manager. The Stranger wrote multiple stories about the owner of Septieme, who is an immigrant yet denied his employees the opportunity to march for immigrant rights. In fact, he fired the manager of the cafe after the manager allowed the employees to leave work to march. Very poor politics for a cafe on Capitol Hill! You don't know your customers very well. I will never visit this restaurant again (unless there's a new owner).

If you're seeking the best bacon burger in Seattle, be sure to check out this always busy greasy spoon in Phinney Ridge. The line may look long, but the service is relatively quick and the burger is the best in the city. Also try the Walla Walla sweet onion rings! Yum!

Thanks to Gaspar's I have a new front porch and master bedroom for my Craftsman style home in Wallingford. Gaspar's is a design build firm that helped me to put my dreams on paper and then construct what had been designed. The project was professionally managed and the end result was on-time and right on budget with no change orders. Gaspar's is a general contractor that works with their own group of pre-screened sub-contractors. I give them an excellent rating.

Sandra designed my kitchen and bath remodel in 2001, and her parter Tad built exactly what Sandra designed. This small two person company, Great Kitchens, provided me with a beautiful new kitchen and bath for a great price. The entire project was on-time and under budget, and I couldn't be any happier with their service and attention to detail. I give them my highest recommendation.
