Best French Bakery in Kirkland

"No first-timer’s trip to Seattle would be complete without visiting the city’s most famous landmark. Built in 1962 for the Seattle World’s Fair, the Space Needle is a 605ft (184m) tower with a flying-saucer-shaped observation deck at the top, complete with unparalleled views of the city and Puget Sound. On clear days, you can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain, and beyond."

"Towering more than 600 feet above the city, the Space Needle is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Seattle. It might even be one of the most famous places in the entire state of Washington. Originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle offers breathtaking views of mountains, rivers and islands."

"Another view in Seattle that’s hard to top is the one from Sky City—the rotating restaurant at the top of the Space Needle. Sure, it’s got a slightly touristy twinge to it, but where else are you going to get a complete 360-degree view of the city, lakes and Puget Sound?"

"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."

"At four bright and airy spaces around town, enjoy consistently delicious fare at four Portage Bay Locations, where the food is always "local, organic and sustainable." The menu boasts the tagline "eat like you give a damn" and an impressive list of local farms and producers that the restaurant's chefs proudly work with. Breakfast and brunch items include migas, an array of Benedicts (from pork belly to Dungeness crab cake), gluten-free French toast (topped with unlimited fresh berries), goat cheese omelets and Swedish pancakes. Tuck into a pitcher of refreshing mimosas, or savor Columbia Gorge fresh-squeezed juices (the berry-lemonade is a sure bet)."

"If you are looking for the perfect brunch place while in Seattle, look no further. With multiple locations you will be able to try out this cafe no matter what area you're in. Personally the Ballard location is my favorite because of the size and parking accessibility."

"Weekend brunch at this family favorite used to mean planning on an hour-plus wait for a table, but now all four Portage Bay locations take reservations."

"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."

"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."

"Build your own box of baked goods and coffee beans from local makers—like Blazing Bagels, Caffe Vita, Mighty-O Donuts, and Nuflours—for delivery from this new …. Downtown Seattle 206-503-2742"

"website | delivery radius: nationwide | best for: seasonally-rotating cookies. I remember visiting Lowrider Cookie Co. when they were in a tiny vintage trailer at the Georgetown Trailer Mall, one of the best gift shops in Seattle. Owner Emily Allport started selling her soft cookies around Seattle farmers markets and popups, but now has two retail locations in the Central District and its original trailer in Georgetown."

"location: Central District (get directions) and Georgetown (get directions) | website | best for: soft cookies with interesting flavor combos. Lowrider Baking Company is named after owner Emily Allport’s weiner dog. She got her start selling out of Seattle farmers markets, but now has two locations and nationwide shipping for her irresistible cookies."

"Lowrider Baking Company is offering same-day delivery for all of your cookie needs. If you go to their website, you can buy a layered cookie cake, as well as individual slices of cookie cake, pints of Full Tilt ice cream, and even half-pints of milk."

"Comfortable, large and relaxing pub that serves fantastic beer, cider, and meal. Most of their menu items are filled with the typical American diet of cheese, ranch, meat, and bacon. Several enjoyable beers, all aspects of the beer spectrum."

"More of a take-out sandwich shack than a restaurant, head to Paseo’s Ballard location, which sits right up against the Puget Sound in north Seattle, touting one of Seattle’s larger sandy beaches. Grab a juicy Caribbean-style sandwich and take it across the street to a beach or down the road to Golden Gardens for a picnic lunch or dinner with a front-row seat to the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Inside Paseo's squat pastel-pink building, pork is cooked to glorious perfection for its most popular sandwich, the Caribbean Roast."

"Paseo is a little pink building that serves up the BEST Caribbean sandwiches and corn-on-the-cob you’ve ever had!. It’s located just up Fremont Ave."

"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."
