You will find the most sophisticated pastries in town at Fuji Bakery, a small, modest shop in the heart of the International District.
Pictured is the shop in International District (526 S. King St.), but Fuji Bakery also has an other location in Interbay (1030 Elliott Ave. W).
You may have seen little decks around the city, installed along the streets like sidewalk extensions, using several parking spaces. They are called parklets. Different from the restaurants terraces, they are public and everybody can enjoy them. They are owned and managed by the city of Seattle.
I like the parklets because they provide something convivial to each community or neighborhood. They may be decorated with plants or art, and there are benches or chairs where you can rest. I saw most of them this winter so they were not often used but I can’t wait to see them during summer time!
There are around 15 parklets all over the city but there are plans to create more. I am not sure they can install any downtown or around south lake union where parking spots are already so difficult to find.
Here are the ones I have seen and pictured: Montana Bar (Capitol Hill) close to Crumble and Flake, Cortona Café (Central District) with painted glass mosaic made by the community, and Oasis Tea Zone (intl district, china town)
Here is the list:
Pastries at Fuji Bakery are close to perfection. Here are pictured the Tarte Tatin and the Tarte au citron. They are amazing. They are as delicious as they are beautiful!
Bakers at Fuji Bakery pay attention to every detail and the result is stunning.
Don’t forget Plain Croissants and Chocolate Croissants that are perfectly flaky.
The building on Elliott Avenue is like a factory outlet but it is easy to park, they have their own parking lot.
I just wish it was closer to my house.
— Fuji Bakery has two locations: one in International District (526 S. King St.) and one in Interbay (1030 Elliott Ave. W).
