Places that piss off my dentist
See All Lists
1. New York Cupcakes
Seattle, WA 98112
(206) 328-5161
Good lord, more bakeries are popping up around me and all conspiring to ruin my diet!
New York Cupcakes occupies the space that once belonged to a local favourite of mine, Bella Dolce. They are indeed a very, very tough act to follow, so I definitely…More »
2. Belle Epicurean
Seattle, WA 98112
(206) 262-9404
I wanted SO badly to give this place 5 shining stars, but alas I just can't do it. While I love what Belle Epicurean has done with the old Island Video space, and the idea of wine + sweets is pretty much heaven to me, I'm just not in love with the…More »
3. Panchitas Bakery
San Diego, CA 92113
(619) 338-9331
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Barrio Logan
I love mexican bakeries. Pan dulce? A thousand times yes plz.
The best thing about the pan dulce at Panchitas? It's not nearly as dry as typical mexican bakeries. Even their plain bread rolls (sandwich/torta style) were delicious (and warm out of the…More »
4. Frosted Robin Cupcakes
Absolutely divine.
I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this place in the middle of a tourist-trap food court, and actually skipped lunch altogether to grab a cayman spice cupcake from Frosted Robin. The lady behind the counter was sweet and…More »
5. Heavenly Cupcake
San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 235-9235
Despite the warm, friendly service, I was completely underwhelmed with Heavenly Cupcake (and it totally breaks my heart to admit that!). I walked in with my 2 partners-in-crime on a Friday night around 10pm craving something sweet. The selection of…More »
6. Bakery Nouveau
Seattle, WA 98116
(206) 923-0534
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: West Seattle
I love sweets, there's no surprise there - but I've always been a bit hesitant to make the trek all the way out to West Seattle just to wait in a long queue to get a pricey croissant. Luckily for me, a co-worker of mine lives much closer to this…More »
7. Menchie's
Seattle, WA 98109
(206) 216-1650
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Queen Anne
Let's see, default expectations of self-serve froyo:
- cutesy, semi-modern logo/type treatment? check
- enormous cups to encourage over-indulgence of "fat-free" frozen delights? check
- more over-the-top cutesy anime-inspired artwork speckled throughout…More »
8. Grumpy Pie
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 457-6716
WOW, what a little gem I've stumbled upon!
I wandered over to the strawberry sale at Seven Hills Park earlier today after seeing a tweet about how Grumpy Pies were going to be featured. After poking around a bit I found the pies and snagged one for…More »
9. The Confectional
Seattle, WA 98102
(206) 282-4422
I snuck in here pre-grand opening to avoid the crowds and was pleasantly surprised to find a well stocked case and a clean, although quiet atmosphere (to be expected since some people not in the "know" aren't aware that they are in their soft-opening…More »
10. TreyBCakes
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 442-7270
Categories:
Bakeries,

Neighbourhood: Midtown
Wow, what an adorable new bakery!
I was in town visiting some family and wanting to scope out what new bakeries / goodie shops had popped up around the area lately and treyBcakes piqued my curiosity. Nestled in the 1801 building next door to Ginger…More »

Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
Canada
(604) 276-8378
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
HEAVENLY!
I was determined to hit up the best asian bakeries in Vancouver, and Saint Germain was definitely on my hot list. The smell wafting from this place is unmistakable and irresistible, but with such reasonable prices, you needn't worry about…More »
12. Cobs Bread
I am a bread addict, and pretty much have to stop in every bakery I waltz past. Cob's was no exception, and I was seduced in by the shelves lined with starchy goodness.
The ladies behind the counter were a bit apathetic but not at all unfriendly, and…More »
13. Cho Pain
This place is a carbo-lovers dream! The shop itself is tiny, so be prepared to either order to-go or get to the shop early to snag one of the small bistro seats. My boyfriend and I stopped in for a light breakfast and snagged two drip coffees and a…More »
14. Bubble World Robson
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C6
Canada
(604) 689-8987
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: West End
I love the fact that you can order any drink "less sweet" here, since most bubble tea places tend to drown everything in sugar. My boyfriend and I split a taro milk tea with boba and it was fantastic.
BONUS TIP: They can take US currency if you happen…More »
15. Yogurtland
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 860-1386
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
The Californian in me is overjoyed at the fact that we FINALLY have froyo by the ounce. Why it took this long to get up here I have no clue, but I have literally been walking by this place for weeks just drooling in anticipation for it to open.

Categories:
Bakeries,
Cafes,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Ballard
First off, I love this bakery's name as it reminds me of that scene in "Stranger than Fiction" where Will Farrel's character brings Maggie Gyllenhaal's character a box of flour! With that little factoid out of the way, I admit that I almost *always*…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Skip the snooty bakery down the street (yeah you know which one I'm talkin' about) and come here! The employees are super friendly and helpful, knowledgable about their products, and seem to enjoy their job. The space itself is large and relaxing,…More »

Neighbourhood: Fremont
If my tastebuds all died and went to heaven, they'd be fully immersed in the amazing flavours of Pie's pesto veggie pie. Oh. My. GAWWWD! This place doesn't sell pies, they sell travel-sized packages of pure awesome. I sampled 3 mini pie bites - the…More »
19. Theo Chocolate
100% organic fair trade "from bean to bar" and 100% delicious!
yesterday we lucked out and squeezed in on a last minute tour thanks to some no-shows, and got to experience the wonderful factory tour @ Theo. I, however made the mistake of sampling a…More »
20. Mee Sum Pastry
who can resist the charm of a walk-up window with heavenly asian treats on glorious display, on a sunny day in the market?
what i love most about this particular location of Mee Sum is the fact that the women baking magical goodies are in plain sight,…More »
21. Sugar Bakery & Café
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 749-4105
Mmmm sugar! I've wanted to try this bakery forever and finally got an opportunity to on a day off recently, and was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend anything on the left-hand case (the lemon tart was refreshing without being overly sweet, as…More »

23. The Candy Aisle
Vancouver, BC V6B 5J3
Canada
(604) 669-7898
Category:
Candy Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
This is a nice place to visit just for novelty's sake, however I find that the prices tend to be a smidge high (likely due to location and hours of operation). Still, how can one resist the bright lollipop decals smattered across the storefront?
The…More »
24. Borracchini's Bakery
Seattle, WA 98144
(206) 325-1550
This place is like the Costco of baked goods in terms of how many samples they give out! Not to mention the staff is so friendly and warm it's like going to your grandma's house and all she wants to do is feedfeedfeed you!
So why the 2 stars? Sadly, I…More »
25. 101Yess
This review is only for their baked goodies, but I must say if the delicious scents wafting through the air were any indicator of the quality of their meal items, I'm DEFINITELY returning to try some o' that.
Anyhow, I'd read good things about this…More »
26. High 5 Pie
By now I have had high 5 pie in three very thorough, very different experiences, and I'm basing this third and final review on an average overall of those experiences.
My first review was based on their opening party night, which of course was biased…More »

27. Mighty-O Donuts
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 547-5431
Dear Mighty-O donut fairies:
I love your cinnamon sugar minis, they are evil and constantly at battle with my waistline. I think your glazes are divine without being too overpowering, and I appreciate the seasonality of your flavor menu.
That aside,…More »
28. Columbia City Bakery
Seattle, WA 98118

Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Columbia City
Let me start off by saying I am a carbohydrate fiend. I'm Dr. Atkins' worst friggin' nightmare. I probably purchase at least 2 full sized baguettes a week, and you better believe I eat those suckers up!
Having said that, Columbia City makes hands…More »
29. Esther's Cupcakes

(916) 481-4800
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Arden-Arcade
I am so sad to give this review, as Sacramento is my hometown and I'm always hoping someone will properly represent a decent cupcake bakery here someday - alas I'll have to keep waiting.
I came here in the afternoon with my sister who was excited to…More »
30. A la Mode Pies
I am not a pie girl normally. In fact, I've often come to the defense of cake when it comes to the great "cake vs. pie" throwdown - BUT - Chris Porter at A La Mode MIGHT, JUUUST MIGHT be able to flip me.
For starters, I won a 4-pack mini pie sampler…More »
31. Pix Patisserie
Portland, OR 97202
(503) 232-4407
Categories:
Desserts,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhoods: Southeast Portland, Clinton, Richmond
The storefront itself leaves a bit to be desired (I guess I had visions of grandeur based on their website) since it's quite small, but they definitely serve up some massive flavour in their teeny treats.
I came here after scoping out some buzz on…More »
32. Sweetpea Baking Company
Portland, OR 97255
(503) 477-5916
Vegan bakeries? You gotta love 'em. Less cholesterol since everyone's made sans eggs, and no need to worry about getting a tummyache from too much dairy product.
I wandered in here as it was stop #4 on my PDX bakery tour, and because I knew the place…More »
33. Cupcake Jones
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 222-4404
Let me preface this by saying that I consider myself a bit of a cupcake connoisseur.
....OK ... maybe connoisseur is a bit too generous. Cupcake addict? There we go.
To be entirely candid, I originally wanted to visit Saint Cupcake, but since they…More »
34. Nuvrei Patisserie & Café
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 972-1700
During my early morning bakery tour, I originally wanted to hit up a certain cupcakery, but it turns out that not everyone is a sugar-fiend like me at 9:15AM - so I had to kill some time before said cupcakery opened.
Enter Nuvrei, with their pretty…More »
35. Lovejoy Bakers
I have died and found the holy mecca of carbohydrates.
I chose to hit up Lovejoy Bakers as stop #1 on my "Great PDX Bakery tour" for a breakfast sammy and a couple of savory rolls. When I entered the store, I inhaled deeply and sighed with delight at…More »
36. Voodoo Doughnut
Portland, OR 97204
(503) 241-4704
Yes, this place is a tourist hotspot.
Yes, it's open 24/7, so no matter how good or bad the doughnuts are, when it's 2 AM they're gonna taste delicious.
YES, the line is totally worth it.
Don't let the mass that wraps around the block detour you from…More »

Another weekend, another bakery to review! I've seen Flying Apron's goods being peddled out at the Madison Co-op before, but never picked up anything, assuming that getting it fresh from the storefront would yield a much better experience - and good…More »

Ugh Trophy, what happened?!
The first time I went here, it wasn't so bad. I sampled a few minis, and took a couple of full-sized treats to go. Things were good, we laughed, we giggled, all was well.
Lately, I've been increasingly let down by the…More »

40. Regent Bakery & Cafe
"Meh" is the perfect way to describe this place. My boss took me here after a big project presentation and treated me to lunch (hey, that's an automatic 2 stars right there!) and we ordered kung pao tofu and "supreme vegetable chow mein" to split…More »
