Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Bellevue

"'The Basket' is Marseille's oldest quarter – site of the original Greek settlement and nicknamed for its steep streets and buildings. Its close, village-like feel, artsy ambience, cool hidden squares and sun-baked cafes make it a delight to explore. Rebuilt after destruction in WWII, its mishmash of lanes hide artisan shops, ateliers (workshops) and terraced houses strung with drying washing. Its centrepiece is La Vieille Charité."

"Located in the Pike Place Market, Le Panier Bakery is a classic French boulangerie making fresh baked goods on-site daily. If there’s one thing you should try, it’s their macarons. They are one of the best I’ve had, and the flavours are quite interesting too including Rose, Passion Fruit and Cassis (the colorful ones in my photo below)."

"A post shared by Le Panier (@lepanierbakery) on Sep 1, 2019 at 5:42pm PDT. If you feel like running away to France, you can have a taste of Paris at Le Panier!. With its seasonal menu, you have the choice of an assortment of croissants, bread, and of course, les macarons — or you could just order all of them!"

"If you’re heading down to the market you have to stop by this delicious spot. Mee Sum serves up authentic Taiwanese cuisine and is a well-loved market staple. We highly recommend that you try their buns as they’re some of the best in the city."

"A couple blocks from the Vashon Ferry dock in South Seattle lies a bakery with donuts so mouthwatering it’s well worth the trek.

Swing by on a Wednesday for French Cruller Wednesday, Friday for applesauce donuts, and Thursday and Saturday for buttermilk donuts so good you’ll want to take one or two for the road."

"The Original Bakery is just that as they have been open and making donuts since 1936. You can enjoy classic donuts and a whole lot more baked goodness at this local family-owned spot. Don’t sleep on this one folks."

"The special for Thursday was buttermilk and the maple cinnamon donuts was delicious but I would of like the usual inner cinnamon roll it want like that."

"Also often referred to as MOHAI, The Museum of History and Industry celebrates Seattle's position as a leader in innovation and industry.

"Located at the South Lake Union, Museum of History and Industry records every milestone of Seattle since its birth.

Self-guided tours take you through authentic buildings at the fort, including guard posts, barracks, and the commander’s home."
