Today, Serious Eats posted my round-up of 10 terrific pastries in Seattle. An excerpt:

It’s 5,000 miles from Seattle to Paris as the crow flies. Despite the distance, the Emerald City is shining proudly in the area of pastries—good news for those who can’t quite cross the Atlantic for the real thing….These 10 pastries all stand out in the shop, bearing the right levels of buttery flavor, sweetness, appealing texture, and a little something extra which would make me point and say, “You want that one.”

Pictured above is Fuji Bakery’s Brioche Japon. Below is Canelé from Bar Ferd’nand. For more information and a look at the eight other picks, check out the Serious Eats story, here.
