There&#8217;s cakes, tarts, macarons, pastries, bread..every sweet thing that I like! Why didn&#8217;t I know about this place earlier?! The downside is it&#8217;s very crowded :\/Seating is limited. BH and I bought coffee, their famous <em>Twice Baked Almond Croissant\u00a0<\/em>&amp; <em>Chocolate<\/em> Croissant. It was sinfully delicious! I personally thought that $4 for a Croissant is quite expensive. However, the pastries were so tasty that it&#8217;s worth every single cent. What do I really like about the pastry? I like it that it&#8217;s crispy, buttery and not too sweet! I would fall head over heels in LOVE with it IF it&#8217;s served warm. On the other hand, I find the powdered sugar on the croissant disturbing. haha.. it&#8217;s just me.. I just find it messy to eat with the powdered sugar, so 1\/2 the time, I was trying to scrape off the sugar. Would I go back again? Yes, only if i&#8217;m around that area \ud83d\ude42<em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>West Seattle feels like a small town to me. There&#8217;s a all-year round farmer&#8217;s market&#8230; lots of dogs&#8230; and small cafe &amp; restaurants.\u00a0 There are also vintage shops which sells cool furniture! I was quite shocked that we actually spent a good amount of time walking around and just enjoying this place. It&#8217;s been a while since we did this. ahh&#8230; lovely weekend!<\/p>\n<p>Drove down to Alki Beach and took these pictures..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3956\" alt=\"WP_20130414_011\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_011.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_011.jpg 510w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_011-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3957\" alt=\"WP_20130414_006\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_006.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_006.jpg 510w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/WP_20130414_006-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3958\" alt=\"ws1\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1.jpg\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ws1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a>Ended the day with dinner with friends.
