Seattle
Best Thai in Seattle: Aroy Mak. That's a bold statement with all the Thai opportunities in the metro area but this is the place. Unlike most Thai restaurants the menu isn't pages long and focuses on vegetables, chicken and shrimp. Choices are Seattle Metro, South Lake Union, United States, Washington, West Coast
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner: The Cottage Cafe & Fireside Lounge. Usually visit Pioneer Coffee but just finished skiing so looking for more calories and this place was a great choice. Breakfast...they have what you need and serve it all day. Lunch Rest of Washington, United States, Washington, West Coast
Cle Elum WA
Nice place for a quick coffee break just off I5: Pioneer Coffee Roasting Co. Right downtown and just past Snoqualmie Pass makes it a perfect stop to refuel. The coffee is great and there is a large selection of pastries as Rest of Washington, United States, Washington, West Coast
Twisp WA
Outstanding coffee: Blue Star Coffee Roasters. Now in a new location it's still a must stop while in Twisp...for whatever reason. Once you give their coffee a try you'll be hooked for life. Like the coffee and can't find the beans
