| - Had lunch with David S. and Cristie O. and David wanted to be a lookie loo at this new bakery in the corner. I can't go to the bakery and not try something. Apparently this is a 3rd location for Belle, the other two are established and well rated in Seattle area.
There were samples of croissants and I tried a piece of the spinach filled one which was tasty, savory and nice flakiness to it. Then she actually cut a dessert to let us sample, a orange flavored, chocolate type mousse and almond cookie type dessert that was tasty. It was too nice of her, too sweet to not get something from her.
I ended up getting a pictache, and pear caramel mousse to take home. They were pretty, but because of the heat and me being out for a bit they were melted to bits. From what I can scoop off the box, it tasted alright but there was a texture that wasn't great about it. It was kinda greasy of a feel on the mouth. Of course, I recognize that can be with it melting and changing the whole cake so take this with a grain of salt. I imagine it is probably good as the sample if it hadn't been ruined by me. Individual pastries were $4.99 and things like croissants and cookies looked to be $1-3. There were also french macarons, quiches, merengues and individual tarts. There is seating and water provided so it's a comfy place to also eat your dessert after a meal at nearby restaurants. You can also get a full meal here - they have salads, sandwiches, quiches, savory croissants and also make cafe classic beverages.
There were french macaron packs in the fridge and I have to come back for those.... This time I'll make sure to eat there or heading home and fast so I can give a better assessment of this place!
