I am a true connoisseur for good european deserts, the kind for which the sugar is not overwhelming all the flavors. It is the only place in the Greater Seattle area where you can buy a real european cake. My favorite ones are "le pistache", the lemon cake, "l'opera", tiramisu (it is absolutely the best I have ever had), the pear caramel mousse, champagne mousse, trio mousse, strawberry mouse, in fact you need to try all of them. You can also taste a true "eclair", as it is meant to be, with the sweetness of the vanilla pudding contrasting with the slight bitterness of the chocolate glazing all tied together by the fresh pastry. We order all our birthday cakes from here, and for the past five years they were constantly excellent, top quality. While some may complain about the price, this is really justified by the quality of the ingredients and of the final products. And you may notice that I did not mention a word about the pastries and the bread; for a french bakery, these are table stakes.
We are really lucky to have a true french baker in the area!
Enjoy!
