Ok, this is the place. If you are into pizza and are coming to Seattle, you probably are planning to go here. All of the hype is true- fantastic pizza. Guess what comes with hype and good press- crowds out the door. You will have to get there before they open if you want to get a table in a reasonable amount of time. A hassle, but strongly recommended anyway.

Wow, how lucky are we to have a fantastic Thai restaurant just a 5 minute walk away! This is not your typical thai restaurant- they reluctantly added phad thai and phad see ew (both excellent) to the menu because people kept expecting it. But they serve a lot of authentic dishes that you don't normally see in many thai restaurants. Really tastes like the food you get in Thailand.
Portions are smaller than you get at many Thai restaurants, but the flavors are vivid, bright, and clean. If you are a fan of Thai food, this place is highly recommended.

If you are up for a decent walk, you could walk to this place in Ballard. Very popular bakery. Some of the best croissants in town. Almost always a line. They do some traditional Parisian type baked goods, but also some pretty unique offerings. You can smell the butter a mile away...

Ok, well, recommending a coffee place in Seattle is tricky. Truth be told, we rarely go out for coffee- we are huge fans of Caffe Vita Coffee Roasters, and have left some in the cottage for you to try.
But if you are one of those "I need a cup of coffee before I go out for coffee" type of people, enjoy the Caffe Vita, and then head up the street and check out Herkimer. Good, strong coffee. Classic Northwest aesthetic with lots of blonde wood and plenty of places to park your laptop.
Lots of other coffee available just up the hill. Of course, Starbucks if you are so inclined.

Kozue

Very good sushi- large slices of nigiri, good value, but everyone knows about it so there is always a wait, which is why we go up the street to Kozue.

Pretty much the ultimate neighborhood spot- could have been designed by specifically for our guests. Run by a pedigreed chef, they have a small menu for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. Seriously, everything is really good, plus great coffee and baked items. The chocolate chip cookies are life changing. Plus they have an assortment of provisions for home cooking or picnics. And wine!

Well, not really a brewery- they don't brew on site, but they have a lot of taps and feature a lot of local beer. Also- really good food. Probably some of the best brewpub food around.
This place has been around for many years- the owners have a couple of other similar places, and they really have figured out what works for a neighborhood place like this. Definitely the kind of place we like to go when we are visiting a new neighborhood- very "local" type of place.
