Whole Foods Market
NE 15th/Fremont – Portland
$1.69
This is the first time I’m talking to you about biscotti.
It is not because I hate biscotti. It is because I don’t see them; biscotti are like wallpaper to me.

Craftsman & Wolves
746 Valencia St. – San Francisco
$2.75*
I ate this a few weeks ago – during a (way too) quick trip to S.F. at the end of last month. And no, I don’t know what in the hell “Craftsman & Wolves” means.
Wait…I bet their website’s “about” page will clue me in. Okay, yeah. It does (sorta). Something about hard work in the name of pursuing your craft. I don’t feel like reiterating it so just check it out yourself if you care.

$2

Tabor Bread
5051 SE Hawthorne Blvd – Portland
$1.75
Tabor Bread mills their own flours and bakes their bread and pastries in a wood fired oven – apparently the first retail bakery in Portland to do so. I was surprised to read this. I mean, this is Portland – D.I.Y. headquarters of America! But it says so on their website, and who am I to second guess the internet?

Macrina Bakery
Multiple locations – Seattle
$1.90
This was certainly not my first visit to Macrina. But for some reason, it was the first time I decided to pick up one of these bad boys. In fact, I’m pretty sure that my brother – who lives in Seattle, is often my cookie cohort when I visit the city, and is coincidentally named Rick (no relation to the cookie) – once told me that this cookie was either strange or bad or not awesome. Or something like that.
