Best Pastries in Snoqualmie Falls

"One of three new Cap Hill spots (the others are a steakhouse and an oyster bar) from the women behind The Walrus & The Carpenter, The Whale Wins, etc., GP is turning out donuts made with fresh eggs from La Ferme des Anes and filled with handmade jams, jellies, custards, creams in classic flavors, all of which were inspired by the owner's trip to famed London restaurant St. John."

"Smitten by the fried dough at St. John in London, Renee Erickson has created custard and cream-filled doughnuts in its image. The lemon curd is an especially bright and citrusy reminder that fried things can be wonderfully light and airy."

"Rounding out the list is the General Porpoise, which has earned four stars out of 463 reviews on Yelp. You can find the spot to score doughnuts, coffee and tea at 1020 E. Union St. (between 10th and 11th avenues) in Capitol Hill."

"Like true Italians, those at Seattle’s Café Torino take their coffee seriously. First, they use only Lavazza beans and make them into any version of coffee drink you can think of: cappuccinos, macchiato with cocoa called Torinese, Becerin with chocolate, coffee, and cream, and of course a standard drip coffee, light or dark roast. This modern, sleek cafe also serves Portland Steve Smith Tea for those who are not java addicts."

"Though Seattle hasn’t always been known for its bagel scene, Pinehurst’s Jewish deli and bakery represents a strong part of the renaissance. It has a weekly bagel club, which includes the option to add pantry items, a delightful chopped liver, and smoked meats galore. Zylberschtein’s also occasionally does full meal pop-ups, and its pints of matzoh ball soup are wonderful."

"Who knew that one of Seattle’s pioneers of Northwest cuisine—both at his former post at the Herbfarm and his current one at Poppy next door—would be so skilled at the fires and fermentations of Sichuan cooking?. Here Jerry Traunfeld’s lifelong interest in authentic Asian cookery brings us ma po doufo, gong bao chicken, dan dan noodles with pork, and the like—almost certainly with more chiles and oil and funk than Westerners will be expecting, while perhaps less than Sichuan cuisine–loving diners will desire. The aesthetic, dictated by the pace of the kitchen, is crowded and chaotic and cramped—much more Chinatown than Broadway."

"It may be surrounded by Vietnamese businesses, but weekends at Foo Lam are all about dim sum. Regulars fill round tables, spinning lazy susans and gesturing to the passing pushcarts for another plate of spareribs, egg custard tarts, or juicy siu mai, flowerlike dumplings of pork and shrimp, even more carnivorous platters of tripe or chicken feet. Popular dim sum spots in the ID can come with an hour-long wait at prime time; here tables and parking are plentiful."

"This unassuming strip mall restaurant is one of the best dim sum spots in South Seattle. The green beans are crisp, the shrimp dumplings are a must-try, and the lightly toasted sesame balls are divine. Open for takeout with online preordering; there’s also limited indoor dining from 10 a.m."

"While not as busy as the others on this list, this spot definitely deserves as much recognition. We love their congee on a cold morning, as well as their hot pot any time of day. Location: 7101 Martin Luther King Jr."

"Penelope The Beauty Bar is a gorgeous boutique spa inside the Fairmont downtown Seattle which has the newest gadgets like these hot tubs that are inflatable. I must start with that they have the best service in the whole city. I scheduled my mom and I appointments to celebrate her birthday and somehow I totally goofed and ended up showing up on the wrong day."

"A post shared by PENELOPE + The Beauty Bar (@penelopeandthebeautybar). And if you want to kick up your spa experience a notch you can head over to Penelope and The Beauty Bar inside the Fairmont hotel. This spa is known for its facials and use of super high-quality products."

"Penelope offers everything you’d expect from a spa at the Fairmont Olympic and more. Choose from a menu of body wraps, skin scrubs, a selection of massages and specialty skincare services. The spa’s full range of services also includes hair styling and makeup application."

"Massage Envy provides massage, skin care and total body stretch services which are an integral part of total body wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Keep your body working with Massage Envy. Schedule an appointment today!"

"UMMELINA takes downtown spa goers on an exotic, global adventure, with treatments that range from the Desert Water Foot Ritual to the Herbal Sea Salt Glow. The welcoming venue has created several natural environments that transport patrons "to distant lands, where for centuries indigenous people listened to the earth and gleaned its riches." In downtown Seattle, guests are accompanied by "guides who are accomplished, sure footed and well studied." These journeys utilize natural salts, muds, oils and herbs thoughtfully selected from all over the globe. Although the venue is ideal for individual patrons, it's also perfect for large groups (like bachelorette parties), thanks to its communal treatment room and its tea lounge."

"If the cure to your ails lies in an African foot soak, Thai yoga massage or meditative tea spa, check out Ummelina. The downtown Seattle spa’s treatment menu features healing practices from around the globe, packaged into regional and element-themed “journeys” for those committing a day to the spa. If you live in AMLI’s new Denny Triangle apartments, your international day spa journey is just a 10-minute walk away."

"Probably the most esoteric spot on this list, Ummelina has really doubled down on the whole ‘ancient rituals’ approach. We’re cool with it because the majority of the services offered are guaranteed to blow you away. We’re not so sure about spending $70 to be able to wash ourselves, though."

"The Mount Baker Beach is housed within the Mount Baker Park situated on the shores of Lake Washington. This recreational spot is perfect for a weekend, as it offers several outdoor activities along with enjoying the cold waters at the beach. There is a playground for the kids, tennis courts, and a wide-pathway that leads to Lake Washington Boulevard."

"12 km from city center 19 out of 191 places to visit in Seattle. The Mount Baker Beach is housed within the Mount Baker Park situated on the shores of Lake Washington. This recreational spot is perfect for a weekend, as it offers several outdoor activities along with enjoying the cold waters at the beach."
