I've been wanting to go to Cafe Besalu in Ballard ever since someone brought in some of their croissants to work for breakfast a few months ago. So Troy and I took the bus to Ballard this morning and went to the small cafe, where the line was out the door. Cafe Besalu specializes in croissants and quiches.

I got the regular croissant that comes with a small container of strawberry jam and Troy got the strawberry danish and coffee. It was easily one of the biggest and best croissants I've ever had! It was perfectly flaky on the outside and nice and fresh and buttery on the inside. Troy's danish was also very good. I was still hungry though, so I decided to get a slice of the quiche Lorraine which comes with bacon, swiss, and green onions. It was fresh, hot, and delicious!

All together we spent about $11, which isn't bad for such awesome breakfast pastries. I liked the sign outside the cafe too, with a croissant hanging from it. I can't wait to go back again and get more croissants! We'll also have to try the blueberry or nectarine danishes next time. The more time I spend in Ballard, the more awesome it gets!
