Eschew Wifi-enabled tech-absorption in favor of real conversations, long-form thoughts exchanged with multiple intelligences called for in real human connection, or the simple joy of imagination and day dreaming. I love their decorative little tables facing the quiet Capitol Hill side-street itself not particularly attractive -- but which offers a pause for a bite and a sip without the capitalist rushtime nipping at your heels. I've had their stellar and inventive-flavored macarons, but their cakes are no slouches either. The rose pistachio coffee cake was delectable. I make this place a destination because if I am lucky I can get one of those bay-window tables for a vegetarian quiche or Spanish tortilla washed down by coffee. I noticed the use of fresh herbs and the sense of a good ingredients and home-touch hand with their plates, as opposed to the commonplace, harried, sloppy kitchen production. Their drip coffee was too acidic for my taste (I prefer nutty balanced, chocolatey flavor). Next time I would get a latte. A higgledy-piggledy antique-style bathroom in the back is another sign of a time-hewn, characterful place. The brickwork in their narrow back patio is inviting but on a recent Sunday morning had been snagged for a private party. Finally a note to the artful wall tributes to heroic workers martyrs from U.S. history. The cafe elevates the spirit of care for the working person, which is noteworthy. Counter to the loudest mouthpieces of the modern era that would erase these assassinated/ crushed heroes that fought for the wellbeing and life of working people, you know that it is these heroes' spirit of courage that continues to outshine the capitalist drivel and machine mind of the majority.

For Seattle, I think this may be the best bakery I've ever had French pastries from -- or at least…read moreit's right up there with the the French Guys in Capitol Hill. From the moment I walked in, every single item in the display looked absolutely delectable. It was honestly difficult not to buy one of everything. I ended up choosing two pastries, and they were incredible -- fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor. You can truly taste the quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality French pastries. There is a small amount of seating outside, but the location is designed more for take out.

Omg, every single baked food we tried was insanely tasty. The standout was definitely the pistachio croissant! Loved the filling the super crumbly texture. The mousse cake was sooooooo indulgent and the scone had a great flavor, although they should cut down on the baking soda a bit. We also tried their Cortado and caramel latte. The ambience is a bit basic, but who cares when the food is soooo good.

Unfortunately I was delayed and only arrived at 11 again - but this time they had plenty! The employee told us they boosted production for the weekend since they unexpectedly ran out too early the previous week. Great for us! Sourdough Foccacia ($13) - This foccacia has a good crisp on the outside, which deteriorated a bit since it was sitting in the car for a couple of hours before consumption. It comes in a nice form fitting paper box. The interior is open and airy looking, but it's actually quite moist, chewy and somewhat tough especially on the crust. It has an exceptional fermented-ish sour taste and is decorated with sea salt specks on top. It's even more sour than what could be found in most sourdough breads in SF. I can tell this is extremely high quality but the taste profile is just a little too much for me. (4/5) Onion Cookie ($4) - Woah, this is a really unique cookie. There's a caramelized onion aroma that wafts right into the nose as the cookie is removed from the packaging, which is soaked through with oil. The texture is soft, yet pliable, allowing the cookie to bend quite a bit without breaking. First bite - it's not too sweet and has an exceptional umami-savoriness. Kind of like a miso cookie with some cinnamon that works so well with the savory notes. So strange in taste yet delicious. I expected to find onion pieces embedded within, but it's pretty evenly textured. (5/5) Salmonberry Goods serves some very high quality treats. They are pretty adventurous with their goods - I'm surprised they don't make anything with actual salmonberry though!

I would like to start off by saying that there is nothing I get down more with than sustainably &…read morelocally sourced goods, so I am very here for what Salmonberry is doing and bringing to the neighborhood. We did the farm box subscription for a few months and it was my favorite part of the week for some time. It felt like Chopped, I would get this big bag of beautiful, local goods delivered to my door every week (so convenient) and then would piece together the puzzle of recipes for the week using as much as I could. Some of our favorite meals came from the farm box era. It's very convenient if you don't like having to spend lots of time in the grocery store and want to celebrate the beautious diverse bounties from our local farmers! Recently I was excited to try the baked goods and stopped by the Ballard Farmer's Market to pick up some bread (and sweet treats ). We grabbed a loaf of the sourdough and the berry pop tart, and I will say the berry pop tart did not make it to the car. It was delicious 10/10 I never wanted it to end I will say that I was very disappointed with the sourdough loaf :( I always enjoy a good blister, but it lacked depth of flavor, seemed maybe under proofed and was a bit dry. And I wouldn't generally be this picky, but for a $10 loaf, the score was a bit sloppy and made me lowkey sad :(

Today I finally got to try Rosellini's Maritozzi! I knew they have it on random weekends but I…read morenever went in early enough to get one myself until today. They offered the item on both days this weekend and again I missed it on Saturday. I asked the front person what time I should get to the bakery in order not to miss it, and she recommended that I come in right at the opening. She said they ran out of it some time past 11am on Saturday, so it seems like they don't necessarily go flying off the counter immediately. Although I was curious, I still wasn't sure if I'd make it in time for opening at 8am the next day. But I was housesitting nearby and the dog woke me up at 6:30 begging to go on a walk. Not wanting to waste the fact that I woke up early on a Sunday, I decided to not go back to bed but head to the bakery at 8am. I arrived like 2-3 minutes before opening and was surprised to see there were already more than ten people lined up at the bakery. Having worked a retail job, my coworkers and I get annoyed when people start lining up before opening, so I tried my best to arrive right on time. But the line was a bit much. Anyways, I respect that everyone working at the bakery doesn't seem one bit offended by the crowd and are so nice to the customers. Consequently, I'm glad I went for the Maritozzi. It was really good. But if it's this difficult to get one then I probably won't go for it again.

I want to love this place more because it is so local and they have some great programs, but it just never seems to be it. Most of the employees I have met are not super friendly, the seating is a bit odd, and while the drip coffee is great it is 3.5 for a cup with no refills. I do love that they don't play any super loud music in the shop though so it is just normally filled with chatter which is nice.

I'm a big earl grey fan, so I figured I'd like it. Very sweet but not too much. The pastries all looked absolutely fabulous. It was hard to choose, but I went with the black sesame macaron.

Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.
