Coffee, Pastries, & Breakfast (Burien)
This is our favorite coffee spot and their staff are super friendly. We recommend the sprinkle cookie (weekends only) and blueberry scone. We've heard their matcha overnight oats are great, and they also serve alcohol (including rosé slushies in the summer.) Around a 15-minute walk from our house.

Ok if you haven’t guessed already, we really love French food. This place has an awesome menu, has a cute and romantic ambiance, and Luke’s favorite is their chocolat chaud- a hot chocolate that is very dense and comes with a huge dollop of cream. Perfect location if you're spending the day at Pike Place Market.
