Larsen's is a classic in Ballard. If you've not been before, it's worth trying at least once. On the other side of the freeway in Lake City there is Kaffeeklatsch. Fresh baked breads and pastries along with great coffee, though there are sometimes people that wander in high af and re-arrange the furniture. Harmless but annoying.
The French guys bakery, who are at many farmers markets, just opened a location on the north end of Capitol Hill and I’ve really enjoyed their stuff so far!
