Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Love the cute selection of folders, notebooks, stickers, and other KAWAII items! San-X Mamegoma & Nyan Nyan Nyanko are my favorites! This place is full of stuff that makes me want to improve my Japanese! -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Bread and Chocolate bar rocks my socks! I took the $5 Theo factory tour and there is no better way I possibly could have spent that money! I learned a lot about organic chocolate making and I was in awe of the crazy chocolate making machines! As an unexpected HUGE BONUS I got to eat up lots of delicious samples of the different varieties of chocolate during the tour!! I have received their amazing chocolate confections as gifts from my boyfriend too.. their creme brulee is my favorite! (-: Check it out! -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I love all the great books and friendly staff! love the green design of this building! The grass on the roof is an endearing touch (-: I wander over here whenever I have the chance to kick back and relax - see what's up in the Ballard literature scene. All in all a great little library - check it out! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: For sure the place I would bring a little one to get a book! I was lured in by the shop name and fun display window! Inside is a very comfortable (mostly) kid's bookstore. I poked around a bit for fun and it was a relaxing experience. I chatted it up with the clerks a bit and they were muchas de friendly - thumbs up! Plus it is close to Cupcake Royale.. what kid wouldn't love this place? -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I got several books on learning Japanese for as much as it would have cost me to buy just one if I'd gone anywhere else! Powell's is truly an amazing place! They have great sections to all of my favorite things; cake decorating, bird watching, hiking, & even learning Japanese... and a selection of Japanese stickers and notebooks!!! I got the cutest Kamio Japan Inc. stickers that have little donuts, ice cream cones, cupcakes & desserts on them!! SO CUTE! And Powell's makes me smarter.. and cuter.. love it. -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I adore the colorful bright modern decor - super fun ambiance! Our room was a lot bigger than either of us expected with a comfortable bed, couch, cozy chair, desk, fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar.. exceeded our expectations and was a lovely retreat after walking around Portland during the day. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends or family popping in for a visit in Portland, OR. How can you not love a hotel with gigantic jars of lollipops all over the place? -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: We've gotten some great food here and it is in the loop of our usual places at this point. Chicken Tikki is my favorite and really we have never had a bad experiance here. Even my (future) mother in law likes it - and she is a newbie to Indian food! The portions are good too - hoorah for leftovers! Three cheers for India Bistro! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Great Asian tea house right in downtown Ballard! I was a little nervous to go in and sit down for tea alone in the middle of the day.. but with the help of the very kind woman working behind the counter, I was pleased as punch (or, berry tea) in no time! The kind lady helped me pick out a great tea I really enjoyed and I wrote in my journal for about an hour and relaxed. A great place to recharge and renew before facing the rest of the day! -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I heart See's.. I wish we had them in Boston. Till then I will surviving on visiting once every so often when I am in Seattle or their hometown of San Fransisco. My favorites are the caramels and those lollipops are amazing! Plus - the free samples rock my socks -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Hiroki will broaden your dessert horizons with it's Japanese-European fusion flair.. We got a couple desserts to go; green tea tiramisu & a pastry.. Both were very good and very different. 4 stars for being innovative and fun in the kitchen - try, try, try! -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I could spend all day in this library.. it is new, comfortable, great selection of books & media, fun design, has free wi-fi, a cafe, gift shop.. and! It has a 40,000-gallon rainwater collection tank that helps water it's flowers.. what more could you want!? -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Awesome place to find all the 2nd hand books I'm looking for! Def. my favorite bookstore in Seattle.. The whole place has a good vibe, excellent selection, helpful employees, & a yummy cafe! The only thing that kind of stinks is the parking situation during the evenings or weekend but even still, this place rocks out. -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Take the monorail to the Seattle Center.. play on the merry go round.. get your feet wet at the international fountain.. peer up at the Space Needle.. catch a concert, Bumpershoot or Bite of Seattle are both good fun too! Visit the science museum.. lay on the grass.. relax! This is an awesome place to go hang out on a hot day or any other kind of day. I can't even begin to count the number of days I've spent sitting next to the fountain drawing, pondering, people watching, coffee drinking.. A must for Seattle flavor! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Fun orange spice tea - and you're able to sample it in the store! I brought back a ton of sample packs for my friends after one of my many Seattle visits and it seemed to go over really well! Also a cool place to get your herbs & spices! -
Minas 1-Stern-Beitrag: I've been in here more than a handful of times during the weekdays.. and I feel like I am looked down upon.. I don't know if they think because I am dressed casually and in my mid-20's & it's a weekday and I am not at work I am not going to have money to blow but the whole experience of coming in here is very off-putting to me.. on the contrary I have a good job across the country that gives me ample time off to shop in Seattle all day and a nice salary to do as I'd like.. In turn I have spent my money on Theo chocolates where I am treated very well & actually enjoy going because of the friendly and outgoing staff! -
Minas 3-Sterne-Beitrag: I guess I am pretty serious when it comes to developing my 35mm film. I am generally happy when my prints from Ballard Camera but sometimes I feel they come out kind of dark here. I do much prefer Ballard Camera to going to my local grocery store or pharmacy photo shops in Seattle though! I enjoy poking around their scrap booking section on my way out too! -
Minas 3-Sterne-Beitrag: It's the Jr. version of their location in Lynnwood.. the selection isn't as fun here but it is still a cool Japanese import store to drop by! The prices are pretty good & you can still find good stuff, don't get me wrong! I would still make the trip to Lynnwood and that way you could get some tea at Black Pearl Tea house!
-
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: I look forward to every trip to Cupcake Royal! My favorites are the triple threat and the mint! Yumyumyum! I am also a fan of their special seasonal shirt designs - my favorite shirt is actually their "deathcake royale" tshirt they made this last Valentine's Day! Also, I have to admit - though Trophy Cupcake is charming.. Cupcake Royale's frosting wins with me by a landslide! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Really cute upscale selection of men's clothing! Even though a lot of stuff is pricey they do usually have a good sale rack which keeps us coming back! Have found awesome Trovata shirts here that can be really hard to find in retail stores! The staff is ridiculously helpful too.. I am a lady and give this place high marks for providing great clothes for my man! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Yes, like any store this place in hit or miss but.. they have the best prices and selection on cute LeSportSac bags of any place I've been - prices usually even better than the LeSportSac outlet store! My boyfriend has great luck in their men's section too, lots of cute stuff!

Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Daiso in Lynnwood is awesome! Well worth the drive out of the city - I know they opened one downtown but I still think this one is best! I have gotten super cute glasses, mugs, stickers, folders.. love it love it love it. Cheap/adorable bento box accessories - what more could you want!? This place is great! (-:
-
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I never knew I loved brunch so much till I met Etta's.. Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00AM to 3:00PM.. I don't care if there is a crowd - it is worth the wait! I got the Etta's french toast w Grandview Farms wild huckleberry syrup, cinnamon, crme fraiche, smoky bacon for $13 - so good.. so good you will dream about it 6 months later good! My advice - don't be afraid to sit in the bar area, you might get a seat sooner on the weekend for their delicious brunch yumminess! -
Minas 2-Sterne-Beitrag: Wow - I am feeling conflicted after reading some of these reviews but I never find this an inviting place or anywhere I am really comfortable going. I guess I base a lot of my consumerism on customer service & general friendliness.. I stopped in here one time to look at desserts and felt uncomfortable and ended up leaving. I have heard other people adore their cakes.. I just don't want to go into their store to get them. -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Three cheers for Pike Place Market.. even though it's touristy there are a lot of superior quality food shops here. Fresh veggies, sausages, fish, honey - imports! I wish we had something like this in Boston! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Super fun cafe is a big old house you can wander till you find the right place to sit. The cappuccinos are huge - the staff are total peaches - the clientele is artsy & relaxed! One of the times I came here I was next to some group's business meeting.. it was pretty funny.. I sipped away and drew and kind of goofed off while they were working in a serious way so I guess it's a good place for business or pleasure (-; -
Seattle, WA, Vereinigte Staaten
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Full of yummy imports from Spain & Portugal - this might be an extra step or two but well worth it! The olive oils, cheeses, meats, olives, capers, spices, bake-ware & more!!! Plus, Seattle is the corporate headquarters and distribution hub for The Spanish Table! Check this place up and cook up something that will blow your friends away! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: I've always gotten a kick out of my visits here.. I really enjoy vintage, retro & reproductions and I am a sucker for paper.. especially prints & postcards which this place is full of! Great choice for decorating your place on the cheap! -
Minas 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Very yummy bakery - friendly service - the coffee isn't bad either! Sadly, there are few things I can eat here because of my nut allergy.. but that doesn't stop me from munching away at their buttery baked goods whenever I am in the area. My boyfriend (who does not have a nut allergy) totally loves this place. Superior quality! I like getting my goods to go and sitting by the water though! (-: So relaxing -
Minas 3-Sterne-Beitrag: Fun place to escape the crowds in Pike Place Market and grab a fancy chocolate bar in peace.. for tourists I think this is a good place to stock up on nice snacks for your day. They have a good selection and prices are not bad at all! Also fun to wander - when I was living here in college I definitely bought some random cool furniture stuff. It probably won't blow you away but - thumbs up! -
Minas 5-Sterne-Beitrag: If the best things in life are free.. why is it so expensive to eat the perfection that comes from Dahlia Lounge? It's ok - for a special time it is great. Amazing ambiance, excellent excellent food.. I know it is only a side but the Garlic butter button mushrooms rock my world! Mixed baby lettuces, parmesan, lemon, olive oil, sea salt.. sounds so simple but will make every part of you sing! Probably my favorite dinner date ever! yum
