Want to know what Mario Batali thinks of Steelhead Diner?

He’s a fan.


Red Twig Bakery Cafe

November 18, 2006

A couple Sunday’s ago, Brenda and I took a little trip through the downtown of Edmonds, WA.  We found a great Thai place for lunch, and then wandered around a bit through some of the furniture boutiques and shops.   A quick side-note: Edmonds is a neat little town.  The shops are a bit more upscale, but the area is quaint and very pleasant. 
We noticed a very cool looking cafe and decided to pop in to see what they had for dessert.  It was called Red Twig, and it’s a wireless connection away from being my favorite place in Seattle.  The decor was modern yet homey, and they had a huge old coffee roaster in the corner (where they do their in-house roasting).  What sealed the deal for me was the all day breakfast menu.

Oh yeah, and the HUGE berry cobbler . . .

It was actually a nice change to be in such a great spot and not looking around and seeing a bunch of single guys in front of a  laptop.  There were several tables full of two or three people, and  the pleasant buzz of  conversation was a welcome change to the  clicking of keyboards.  It would be nice to be  able to enjoy some of their beautiful pasteries while  working on my computer,  but it’s nice to unplug sometimes, too.
