Best Dessert in Kirkland

"Molly Moon’s has been expanding their Seattle Ice Cream empire for years now, and have locations across the city and even in the suburbs. It is well worth a stop for some gluten free dessert after a day of exploring Seattle."

"Flavors like Stumptown Coffee, Scout Mint (Girl Scout Thin Mints year round!), and Rachel’s Ginger Beer sorbet (a summer flavor), made from local northwest ingredients, are the perfect pick-me-up."

"Don’t let the size of the cakes fool you, these small treats pack a serious punch. (Even a single serving of the thick, warm chocolate is worth sharing!) If chocolate isn’t your thing, opt for the amazing baked goods instead. If you’re not into those either (who are you?!), indulge in the delicious warm libations on offer."

"Molten lava cake has to be one of the most underrated desserts. They’re a common dessert at fine dining locales and on cruises. However, it’s difficult to find them outside of that realm."

"A Seattle staple, Top Pot Hand-Forged Donuts & Coffee has locations all over the city. In the hopes of taking a break from your stereotypical florescent-lit donut shopping experience, Top Pot has instead created a beautiful retro themed environment where they encourage their guests to relax and enjoy an array of donuts with recipes dating back to the 1920’s."

"A post shared by 🍴🌮🍗🍔🥓🍜🍰 (@letseatwithkathy) on Jan 17, 2019 at 7:29am PST. When you mix Hawaiian island flavors with western donuts, you get malasadas from The Donut Lab. Although the Lab doesn’t yet have an official brick and mortar location, you can order your donuts online and receive them in around two days."

"Top Pot has been at it a long time and is a local fave of many. They have over 40 different kinds of tasty baked goods and we can guarantee there’s something for everyone. In our books, it might even be as iconic as Starbucks (but better obviously)."

"Premier Meat Pies is a relative newcomer to the Seattle waterfront. It has quickly gained a following for its flaky meat pies. The recipes at this Pier 54 chophouse are tried and true."

"The quartet of local pizzerias has assembled a cook-at-home rib eye dinner kit that comes with a video tutorial (and suggested playlist!), salad, dessert, and Washington wine. A deluxe version adds cocktails and antipasti, and a single-serving version reinforces that everyone deserves, um, fancy meat on this day, regardless of their relationship status. Order online, or over the phone starting February 7, for weekend pickup February 12–14."

"This spa in South Lake Union is based on the tradition of Russian banyas, Finnish saunas and the like. Entry to the spa gives guests use of the Parilka (a sauna made of concrete and brick for penetrating heat), a Turkish steam room, a saltwater tepid pool (kept at 87 degrees), a cold plunge pool, a hot pool (kept at 104 degrees) and a tea lounge and nap room. For an additional fee, book a massage, body treatment or facial—or one of the packages available."

"This spa is well known and loved by Seattleites so you know we had to include it. Banya 5 is pretty much the place to head if you’re in need of a relaxing day, scrub, or serious bodywork massage. But keep in mind they are only doing massages at this time."

"Polished is a brand new day spa and retail boutique located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle. What sets us apart at Polished is excellent customer service and strict adherence to proper sterilization technique. Please visit our website for more info."

"The Seattle Art Museum is a more traditional art museum that features an extensive collection of works including, oil paintings, photography, watercolor, sculpture to name a few. While some of it may be a little too “high brow” from the younger set, there's plenty for kids to enjoy and interact with. Be sure to check out the Chase Open Studio, where you'll find everything you need to create your own piece of art inspired by major themes in SAM's current special exhibition, and the Ann P. Wyckoff Education Resource Center, which has been considered a "launchpad to explore works of art and spark creative learning"."

"The Seattle Art Museum is Seattle's premiere public art museum, showcasing more than 25,000 significant classic and modern artworks throughout three museum facilities in the city's downtown region. The museum operates its main downtown Seattle campus, along with Capitol Hill's Seattle Asian Art Museum and the open-air Olympic Sculpture Park on the city's Puget Sound waterfront. Notable collections include works by Italian painters such as Camille Pissarro and Luca Giordano, along with 20th-century American works by Mark Tobey and Jacob Lawrence and a substantial collection of Aboriginal Australian works."

"The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is actually a trio of museums that are scattered around the city. They all have different exhibits and activities, so depending on where you’re traveling and what you’re interested in seeing, you can hit up any of the three locations. The collections include everything from African paintings to Asian woodblocks and silkscreens."

"More of a paean to pop than a traditional museum, the just-opened Seattle Selfie Museum is located near the Gum Wall at Pike Place Market. It's a different type of art museum—a place where the art is you!. “Built for the 21st century digital nomad” this place is filled with room upon room of different props for you and your little guys and gals to create the ultimate selfie."

"The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is the official state museum of Washington, originally founded in 1899 as the Washington State Museum, though its roots date back to the Young Naturalists Society, which was established two decades prior. Today, the museum is housed on the campus of the University of Washington and showcases a collection of more than 16 million specimens and artifacts across significant ornithology, biology, geology, and anthropology collections. Three long-term exhibits display the evolution of the state over 545 million years and present the fifth-largest collection of American indigenous art in the world."

"The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is a natural history museum where you can find a large collection of specimens from nature. More than 16 million items are included in the museum's collection, including biological, cultural, and geological objects such as spiders, insects, reptiles, fish, mammals, birds, plants, minerals, fossils, and archaeology. It's a huge and interesting collection, which is why this is really one of the best museums in Seattle."

"The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is the state of Washington’s oldest public museum which has been open for over 130 years. At this amazing museum, you’ll find some astonishing natural collections, like their giant artifacts of dinosaur bones, stunning fossils, and more!. This museum also offers a ton of other exhibits to check out such as their “Northwest Native Art” exhibits, “Culture is Living” exhibits and more."

"Don’t get Bryn Lumsden twisted: His all-day restaurant in Interbay isn’t the hipsterification of the classic American diner, though the long, marble-esque bar, modern light fixtures, and list of natural wines could suggest otherwise. The man whose Damn the Weather bar in Pioneer Square is one of the city’s coolest watering holes has preserved the romantic elements that make diners great—proletarian menu mainstays like burgers, melts, meatloaf, even rib eye steak—and folded in a contemporary drink program with funky Spanish ciders, a calvados old-fashioned, and, yes, bubbles, too."

"Modern diner and bar — little sister to Damn the Weather"Champagne Diner is so pretty inside, it’s like a dream. You know you’re in a diner here — the long counter with its swivel stools, the color-flecked tabletops, the dove-gray upholstered booths — but you don’t know exactly when or where. This...Mehr"

"This elegantly unexpected hangout in Interbay dispenses chilaquiles, fried chicken, benedicts, and all manner of morning cocktails on weekends from 9-3."

"Premier Meat Pies is a relative newcomer to the Seattle waterfront. It has quickly gained a following for its flaky meat pies. The recipes at this Pier 54 chophouse are tried and true."

"Makini Howell is a vegan phenom, as evidenced by the brunch, lunch, dinner, and dessert menus at her Capitol Hill original, now equipped with streetside patio pods. An online takeout menu also offers family meals, homespun sweets, and an all-day menu that ranges from faux reubens to oyster mushroom calamari. Meanwhile her adjacent salad restaurant, Plum Chopped, puts Evergreens to shame."

"If the prices of Plum Bistro make your eyes water, head to Plum Chopped. Just next door to its sister restaurant, this eatery offers fresh, delicious salads paid by weight. You can pick from their menu or build your own, choosing delights such as Coriander-Rubbed Strami Tofu, Southern Spicy Pecans or fresh tangerines."
