Restaurant Details

  • Famous on Queen Anne for their marzipan "potatoes"—a lumpy dessert that consists of a cream puff shell filled with pastry cream, then surrounded by marzipan and given a dusting of cocoa. They don't look pretty, but that's a good thing—you don't want anyone else to eat them. Also, from 2:30-3:30, if you buy a coffee, you can get a free pastry in their coffee drink "Happy Hour."

the best tasting pastries I've ever had

Have you ever noticed how Red Delicious apples look really good but taste like the chemicals they were preserved in? And how a honey crisp or fuji apple look all mottled but taste like heaven? That's the only way I can describe the current pastry market in Seattle. I'll go to some place with pastries that LOOK good, but they taste so meh. But I've been dropping by Nielsen's for a while now, and I'm always struck by how ugly yet sinfully delicious their pastries are. Try the apple kringle. It's that ugly wedge shaped slab of joy you've been looking for.
