Café Besalu

“Café Besalu is a tiny French bakery in Ballard. I love going here on Sundays for a croissant (best I’ve ever had in or out of Paris), a cardamom pretzel and a cup of Lighthouse Coffee.  James, the owner, is there every day and the place is a true labor of love for him.  He rolls out sheet after sheet of pastry dough.  If you’re lucky and show up at the right time, you might get a warm croissant,” Angela Stowell.”
