I’ll bet a cheesy sausage you’ve never tried this place.

The cappuccino that made me fall in love with Seattle. Victrola’s.
APRIL 2010: “But you promised you’d take a week out to visit me in Seattle. You’ve been promising that for the past 2 years!” “I know, but this is a super short trip. I also have to go to Michigan … Continue reading
Part 3: A sweet bite of the Big Apple:
My Milk and Cookies saga
I love most things baked and doughy – cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, and all their warm-baked brethren. Not all cookies are born equal in my eyes; I have a weakness for the soft ones that melt and become gooey when … Continue reading

I’d frequent this cute little cafe on 18th and 3rd practically every day after work. A warm mug of cappuccino pairs wonderfully with their crumb cakes – both the gooey chocolate one (warmed up to make the chocolate cake even … Continue reading
