I went on a grand hunt TWICE to find "Coffee and... a Specialty Bakery". It's this much touted about bakery and coffee shop amongst Celiacs because it's supposedly one of the only completely gluten free dedicated shops in the area. They have gluten free sandwiches so obviously I wanted to get some of that goodness in my belly.
Pike is maybe a mile walk from my office so it's not too bad, but TWICE- with no luck.
... That's because I found out that they went out of business and had passed their once-was shop nearly 6 times walking up and down Western Avenue trying not to look like a tourist.
Things discovered in Seattle this week:
The Macy's Flagship store has never ever ever gone through a renovation. If it has it's definitely not apparent. While I appreciate their ability to tap into the retro-hipster look of Seattle without trying... even I think this is a little too 1929.
- Cinnamon Works Bakery at Pike Place is my new favorite destination.
- I'm a lazy coffee drinker. While most lazy coffee drinkers go to Starbucks, I've upped my laziness level to not even crossing the street to Starbucks, but only going to cafe Miglione inside of my building. (It's better anyway)
- 2nd & Pike typically smells like poo and should be avoided.
- If I get abducted it will likely be on 2nd & Pike.
- There are more than two levels of Pike Place... (not sure how I didn't know this before, but welcome to my brain, new basic Seattle knowledge)
- The only thing worse than sitting next to a sick person on the bus is being the sick, sneezy petrie dish of a person on the bus.
