Essential Baking leaving Wallingford

Eagle-eyed tipsters saw a note tucked into the Wallingford eNews that the Essential Baking Company is planning to shut their Wallingford bakery down. Wha-what? But...but...Rosemary Diamante! We gave Lee at EBC a call to find out what the scoop was, and he confirmed that, while the exact plans are still being solidified, they are planning to move out of the bakery this Spring. A few years back, they acquired Parisian Star Desserts down in the Cloverdale area of South Seattle and…

Kuma Coffee

(Wallyhood reader Ryan G. sent in this fine review of little known but much loved coffee house, Kuma Coffee) We live in Seattle where it’s ok to be a coffee snob.  And that is a good thing.  We have some of the greatest independent coffee shops in the country in our own back yard… Vivace, Victrola, Stumptown, Lladro, Fuel… you get the idea.  We also have one in our neighborhood that you may never have heard of- Kuma, the storefront coffee…

Gypsy Cafe and Pub: New Menu

In June, I reported that the ol' Gypsy Trader/Gypsy Java had new owners, and that in the future there would be a new menu.  And now there is.  Plus, another new name:  The Gypsy Cafe and Pub.

We are now open until midnight on Friday…

Art and Olives

We found a few interesting sales going on in homes around the neighborhood this weekend. The sun shining so warmly, it's well worth the walk to stroll over. At her home on 4033 Eastern Ave N, Rena is selling her home cured olives and spices. The olives themselves are brought fresh in a barrel from Israel. She opens them individually with a stone to let the brine in, then mixes them with spices and garlic, all from here garden here in…
