Three Bakeries

A good bakery is a major weakness of mine. My taste in items produced by a bakery is broad. Sweet is good. Savory is good. Bread is good. Pastries are good. Pie is good. Cookies are good.  I prefer places that use good ingredients, and have something special to offer. Some bakeries in Seattle are well known and very good.  Places like Bakery Nouveau, Macrina, Columbia City Bakery, etc.  If you don't know about these places you don't get around much in Seattle. But because these places are busy and well known, it really wouldn't serve anybody for me to talk about them. What's less known are the very good bakeries in places you wouldn't expect. Like Renton and Kent. Sugar, Flour, and More, in the Renton Highlands at 2830 Sunset Ln NE in the Renton Highlands, is an exceptional place. There are a lot of French inspired items, Mexican inspired items, and one of a kind items invented by the owner/baker, like Huitchacotle (corn fungus) bread. The baguettes are fantastic.
