Cookie Crave & Creamery Now Open on Wallingford Avenue

Recently, my partner’s mom relocated to University House. When I walked over to see her on a recent Saturday afternoon—for the routine tech support that is needed by many retirees—my route took me through the center of Wallingford. I came across some of the new shops on Wallingford Avenue N, and the one beckoning me that sunny day (in January!!), between Dumpling the Noodle and Julia’s of Wallingford, was a tiny storefront in the Chronicle Building (4417 Wallingford Ave N, Suite…

The Solution To Your Late Night Munchie Problems

I think we all know the feeling of stumbling home in the small hours after a great night out, only to find the freezer devoid of ice cream and the pantry empty of fresh-baked cookies. Whereas in the past I might have satisfied myself with some old pretzel bites or stale cashews, I am now excited to learn that these delights are only a few clicks away, or even a few blocks away if I feel like an evening stroll. Midnight…

Sea Wolf Bakery

Seattleites love their secret restaurant openings; see Stop N Shop for example. I got a tip about a hidden French bakery next to Manolin and went to investigate. Located at N 36th and Stone Way the sign for Sea Wolf is pretty nondescript. I have been waiting years for a French bakery to come to our neighborhood. Now I know we have had some great bakeries that sold croissants over the years, but I'm talking about the type of bakery that sells…

Hiroki features work from local artist

While Tangletown's Hiroki (2224 N. 56th St.) is known for their delectable specialty desserts, here's one more reason to tempt you to visit their bakery: Wallyhood reader Abigail let us know about a unique sculpture exhibit by artist Kat Taylor, currently featured at the shop through the end of May.

The Street Treats truck is coming!

As a kid growing up in the suburbs, hearing the jingling bells of the ice cream truck was one of the best things about summer.  Living in a tract housing development that had 2.5 children for every home, our purchases were easily the driver’s entire take for the day.  We’d be in the middle of a kickball game in the cul-de-Sac, or building a fort in the back yard when the bells beckoned us to drop whatever it was we were…
