Green star Cafe de Lion (Queen Anne)

1629 Queen Anne Ave N #102
Seattle, WA 98109
(206) 913-2125
Website

Café de Lion is like an extra-elegant, French-inspired version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. There are no Oompa Loompas here, but sometimes you see an Oompa Loompa–sized person running around: He’s called Lion, and his parents, Daisuke and Tomoyo Miura, named the place after him. Café de Lion’s desserts, like "Choco-dome," "Zen," and "Strawberry Planet" (!), are stunning. Tomoyo discovered her pastry talents when she traveled to Paris, originally to study fashion. She then spent a year and a half working with a pastry chef at a hotel—someone who would get in trouble if they were named. Mysterious! It just makes her creations that much more alluring.
Hours: Tues–Sun 11 am–7 pm

Seattle's best macarons

A pastry chef friend and I are on the prowl for the best macarons in Seattle and we think we've found them! Yes, better even than Honore unless you really love butter...the fillings here are pure and taste intensely and deliciously like what they're supposed to be -- coffee, salted caramel, green tea. I used to live in Paris, and these are up there with the best, in my humble, pastry student opinion.
