I'm coming back here!
"In support of "The Little Guys", I headed to Seattle to spend the day shopping for cheeses, breads and pastries for the hosting of our annual celebration of Festivus with some friends.
Nielsen's Authentic Danish Pastry was the first stop of the day. I had never been here before but thanks to my fellow Yelper's, it was an easy decision to start the day off right with Nielsen's. The bakery is located off the main drag, but was easy to spot due to the foot traffic coming and going.
I walked up to the crowded display cases and was mesmerized by the nice variety of delicious-looking goodies. After my quick scan, I ordered a snitter and an apple Danish and a 12 oz. latte. We shared the snitter and the Danish at one of the tables. Both were over the top good. The people next to us had the potato and were in awe of it. Naturally, we had to order two to go, as well as another snitter (Seattle is a ways off after all). When I got back to the car, I marked the location in my GPS, cuz Baby, I'm comin' back!
The next morning over coffee, the potatoes and the snitter we brought home became history. OMG they were good! I'm trying to think of an excuse right now on why I need to drive 35 miles north to Seattle." Find more Nielsen's Pastries reviews on Yelp.
