in Seattle, WA 98107about Cafe Besalu:
Seattle loves Cafe Besalu and the nice people who run it. This is the bakery of the moment, but in addition to its low-key hip quotient, it also has a distinctly welcoming vibe for families with kids.
Brioche, slightly sweet, fine-crumbed and tender, have a dense enough texture that babies can gum them without ending up with a handful of crumbs. The ginger biscuits are a revelation: impossibly tender, sharp with ginger, and sprinkled with sugar. Cookies - chocolate chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and checkerboard - will please tiny sugarhounds and their more discriminating parents. Lattes here are superior. For lunch, try the savory pastries or quiche.
There aren't any high chairs here, and the bistro chairs inside can be difficult for small kids to manage, but there's a lovely seating area outside under big old trees. Service is swift, and it seems especially efficient when little kids are in tow. Patrons nursing a latte mix easily with the stroller set in this small room at the edge of downtown Ballard.

tips:
Avoid the heartbreak of coming out for brioche and learning that they haven't been pulled from the oven yet. Brioche are ready at 9am.
