Nestled near the zoo, this cozy cafe serves up standout traditional and quirky pies, irresistible boozy milkshakes, and dreamy hand-churned ice cream.
"The pies at this Phinney Ridge bakery (which also has a West Seattle location) are among Seattle’s best — and there’s an all-star lineup of sweets for Thanksgiving. Among the options available for pickup November 27 and 28 are an apple and ginger pear pie, a marionberry hazelnut pie, and something called Cookies and Scream, a decadent creation with chocolate graham cracker crust, chocolate sandwich cookies, and dark chocolate custard. All are $32." - Gabe Guarente
