This place is a gold mine! I've been here twice in one week (I live in Redmond, you do the math) and it's so worth the drive. On my first trip I got a rum ball and a custard filled, chocolate topped pastry. Both were delicious, and since I happened to be in the area again, found myself in again. I had been craving a maple bar and since apperently they're amazing here, I really wanted on, but they'de SOLD OUT!!! I was forced to re-think. So, cream cheese danish and what was called a Kransekaka piece (they're on the website under cookies). The danish was superior to any other danish I've ever had. The perfect, light, flakey pastry, and the cream cheese filling (as close to cheesecake as one ought to be before 2pm) was just the right balance of salty-sweet. The Kransekaka piece was a gamble, but boy oh boy, did it pay off. After my first bite, I pulled a "When Harry Met Sally" moment in my car. Good thing I was stopped at a light already; that could've been deadly!
