"Sure, this bakery in the U-District is called Saint Bread, but we’d like to submit their salty brown butter chocolate chip cookie for sainthood consideration, too. (Ball’s in your court, Pope.) The chocolate is so dark that it registers as fruity, with an even distribution between larger shards and smaller shavings—and there’s a distinct dough tang that nearly tastes yeasted. We can’t think of a better finale after inhaling a bacon-egg-and-cheese on sugar-dusted melonpan." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
