Pike Place Chowder

1530 Post Alley
Seattle, WA 98101

Occasion: We knew we wanted to check out their chowders here, just a matter of when we could fit it into our schedule filled with so many food stops. 09.01.13

There was a Yelp check in deal. 3 chowder sampler cups for $9 so we took advantage of it.

We got the regular chowder, salmon chowder and the seafood bisque.  They were all very creamy and flavorful, but my favorite is probably the seafood bisque. I'm glad the two of us shared all of this, otherwise I don't think I could have finished it. I love variety, seafood and good eats. I'd definitely recommend this for those who are visiting Seattle.

Yellow Leaf Cupcake Company

2209 4th Ave
Seattle, WA 98121

Occasion: Time for an afternoon snack after a morning at the Zoo and a delicious lunch at Paseo's. Another recommendation that I wanted to check out. You know me and my sweets, it's hard to resist. 08.31.12

Honey Lavender

I understand that everyone has different likes and preferences with cupcakes, but this is seriously one of the best I've had. Not only are the flavors unique, but the cupcake is moist and fluffy and the buttercream frosting is airy, light at the perfect amount of sweetness. I love the fact that the buttercream was super light and not overly sweet. Often times, I find myself scraping off more than half of the frosting, but it was definitely not the case here. The sweetness of the honey and the floral aroma and taste of the lavender. My only complaint is that they could have done without the sprinkles, as it's not my thing.

Definitely a unique variety of flavors

Their most popular is their pancakes and bacon. But my favorite has to be the strawberry passion-fruit. Strawberry cupcake filled with passion fruit filling. So delicious. 6 months later and I still think about it. A must try when you're in Seattle. Other flavors tried were also their keylime pie, redvelvet, earl grey. They have their daily specials, so make sure you call ahead to see what they have.
