Cute little French bakery for breakfast while you are in Seattle and visiting the Pike Place Market!  

Highly recommend their croissant and feuilletes! I especially LOVE their almond croissant, which is the classic French almond croissant with almond filling.  Many bakery that sells almond croissants don't have this almond filling inside, and the times I did get it with this filling is a classic French bakery here in Seattle, Quebec, and a few other places.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka



1690 Robson Street, 
Vancouver, BC V6G 1C7

Santouka serves Ramen from the Hokkaido region.  Compared to Kintaro, I personally liked Kintaro's version more.  But I liked how Santouka is more like a restaurant where you can sit more comfortably.  Santouka also have neat combo sets, summer features and drinks.
