1. Bluebird
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 588-1079
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Tea Rooms,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Those who have read my Old School Frozen Custard review may know Bluebird as the shop I couldn't get into, and the reason I discovered Old School in the first place. Bluebird is not at all wheelchair accessible, with the building itself having a…More »
2. Café Besalu
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 789-1463
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
French
Neighbourhood: Ballard
I haven't been back for over a year, but suddenly dropped in twice this week alone (pregnant woman-like cravings I tell ya). After an amazing frangipane croissant experience several weeks back at SF's Tartine, I started craving it again, and decided…More »

My ongoing quest for deliciously flaky pastries led me to Cafe Besalu one morning, several weeks… Read more »
3. D'Ambrosio Gelato
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 327-9175
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts,
Gelato
Neighbourhood: Ballard
Oh my - dare I say, D'Ambrosio may be the best gelato I've had thus far in Seattle? Or anywhere, for that matter? Having first sampled their caramel fig at the Ballard Elite Event, I wasn't sure how I felt about them, until I dropped in a week later…More »
4. Dahlia Bakery
While I was never a huge fan of how hit-or-miss Tom's restaurants were, his desserts and pastries never failed to please. As a result, Dahlia Bakery was one of the few stops I always made when someone from out of town was visiting.
Just about…More »
5. Daily Dozen Doughnut Company
It continues to surprise me how many amazing places are in Pike Place that I'm still not aware of, like this devilish little doughnut shop. A coworker popped into the Market during lunch one day, and surprised us by bringing back two dozen mixed…More »
6. Gelatiamo
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 467-9563
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Gelato
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The first time I went to Gelatiamo was, surprisingly, not for their gelato. I'd been on a bit of a dessert-eating streak that month, was looking for a quick pastry fix to top off my work week, and thus opted for the closest popular location. Taking a…More »
7. Hiroki
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 547-4128
You know it's a good weekend when you discover two new personal favorites in your city. Despite reading Yelp reviews, I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this little Japanese bakery. Even back in the Bay Area, Japanese bakeries were limited, and…More »
8. Jonboy Caramels
Came across these guys on my first occasion to the Ballard Farmer's Market after having lived in the neighborhood for about a year (better late than never right?). You can find them here, as well as in a couple different markets in the area - the…More »
9. Old School Frozen Custard
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 324-2586
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
You know how some places are just so awesome that they put you at a loss for words? Yep, this was definitely one of them. I was actually planning to go to Bluebird down the street, but there was an entire flight of steps to get in, so along I went to…More »
10. Peaks Frozen Custard
Seattle, WA 98115
(206) 588-2701
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Roosevelt
Given my love for Old School Frozen Custard, it'd be impossible to not compare the two. The verdict? Both are great, and what's "better" depends on what you're looking for or in the mood for. The only things they have in common are friendly staff, a…More »
11. Simply Desserts
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 633-2671
After a birthday dinner at the nearby Chiso with Andrew D, Natalie N and her boyfriend, where we also had dessert, we dropped by Simply Desserts for seconds. Not that any of us had much room left for it, but I was compelled to come by out of fear…More »
12. Theo Chocolate
Oh Theo. Despite the fact that I'd always bring out-of-town guests here, and would frequently stop in on random weekends or during my long pushes home from Downtown, how have I not reviewed you until now?!
For those unfamiliar with Theo, these guys…More »
13. Utopia Frozen Yogurt - CLOSED
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 682-0724
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: International District
People don't believe me to be the froyo fanatic that I am, and it's understandable why - an entire year and a half passed after moving here before my first taste of Seattle froyo. Much of this had to do with a silly fear that froyo here would pale in…More »
