Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts CAFE$
MAP GOOGLE MAP
( www.toppotdoughnuts.com ; 2124 5th Ave; doughnuts from $1.50; 6am-7pm; 13) Top Pot
is to doughnuts what champagne is to wine - a different class. And its cafes - especially
this one in an old car showroom with floor-to-ceiling library shelves and art-deco signage
- are equally legendary. The coffee's pretty potent too.
Macrina BAKERY$
( 206-448-4032; 2408 1st Ave; pastries $2-3.75; 7am-7pm; 13) That snaking queue's
there for a reason - damned good artisan bread (you can watch the experts roll out the
dough through the window). There are two options and two lines at Macrina. One's for
the fantastic take-out bakery (possibly the best in Seattle); the other's for the sit-down
cafe with its so-good-it-could-be-Paris sandwiches, soups and other such snacks. Join the
pilgrimage.
Serious Pie PIZZERIA$$$
MAP GOOGLE MAP
( www.tomdouglas.com ; 316 Virginia St; pizzas $16-18; 11am-11pm; Westlake) It's an auda-
cious move to take the down-to-earth Italian pizza and give it a gourmet spin, but local
culinary phenomenon Tom Douglas pulls off the trick with casual aplomb. In the
crowded confines of Serious Pie, you can enjoy beautifully blistered pizza bases topped
by such unconventional ingredients as clams, kale, potato, apples, pistachio and more.
It's seriously good!
