MORNING
Here is a fun mini morning timeline to follow as you explore Pike Place Market and the surrounding areas!
9:30AM: Start with having breakfast at The Crumpet Shop. My favorite thing to get is a savory crumpet with scrambled egg, tomato, english cheese and I add pesto. It's delish! This delicious spot is just down and around the corner from Storyville and ...
The Crumpet Shop
10AM: Coffee at Storyville: Next head here! Follow up breakfast with a great cup of coffee. When I tell you that their homemade coconut-cashew milk is one of the best things I have ever tasted when it comes to alternative milk, I cannot tell a lie. I...
Storyville Cofee in Pike Place Market
10:45AM: Once you have finished breakfast and have a coffee in hand, I suggest walking over to this corner shop, which is where DeLaurentis Food & Wine is located. This shop is a dream grocery store if you love real, authentic Italian food/goods....
DeLaurenti Food & Wine
11AM: Explore Pike Place Market: I have been coming to the Market since I was a little girl and it just never gets old. Take your time and really explore. The deeper down you go, the more unique shops you'll find since the market is quite large. You ...
Pike Place Market
AFTERNOON
Now you are going to move into lunchtime and early afternoon experiences as you move from downtown Seattle to the charming Ballard neighborhood!
12:30PM: Ride a Lime scooter on the Elliott Bay Trail. Use with caution of course, but these scooters are so fun on a nicely paved path, especially when you have a view!
Lime Scooters
Nate and I stumbled across this trail the other weekend and I had forgotten how beautiful the scenery is over in this area. Highling recommend!
Elliott Bay Trail
1PM: Arrive at Dantini Pizza + Holy Mountain Brewing: Ride your scooter (takes about 15-20 minutes) over to Dantini Pizza and put in your lunch order. I like to get the pepperoni and caramelized garlic pizza, with black olives and hot honey, and an o...
Dantini Pizza
What I love about most breweries these days is that they have wine! I had a lovely glass of rose here because I do try and avoid gluten as much as I can, so that was a great option for me!
Holy Mountain Brewing
2PM: Order a Lyft/Uber to September Boutique in Ballard. This is hands down, one of my favorite stores. It is beautifully curated and they carry men's clothes too!
September
2:15PM Wander the shops along Ballard Ave NW: You can continue on to explore so many cute shops - this has the cutest collection of unique designers and is so well curated.
Horseshoe Boutique
Grab coffee, pastries or a glass of wine at this cute and quaint spot if you need a break in between.
Anchored Ship Coffee Bar | Seattle WA
This is a furniture consignment store and they have everything from newer pieces to true antiques. I have purchased a few pieces of furniture at this awesome spot that are still some of my favorite items in our home.
Ballard Consignment | Furniture, Decor, & Collectibles | Seattle, WA
You can find everything from knick knacks like candles and mugs to jewelry and sunglasses to cute clothing. Always a must to stop in here when I’m in Ballard.
Prism Boutique
This store is a mix of Scandi meets Japanese vibes and it's just perfection. It's so zen inside and is so well curated.
Woodland Mod
3:30PM: At the end of Ballard NW Ave, you will come out to a fairly busy street called Leary and across the way is a dog bar called The Dog Yard. It's free to humans so if you are a dog lover, I highly recommend popping in to get your fix before head...
Dog Yard Bar
EVENING
4PM: Order a Lyft/Uber and head to Brimmer + Heeltap for Happy Hour: The happy hour at Brimmer + Heeltap is one of my absolute favorite spots for many reasons, but their half off glasses of wine from 4-5PM is perfection. They always have an interesti...
Brimmer & Heeltap
5PM: Order a Lyft/Uber up to Lioness for an early dinner: Since happy hour only lasts from 4-5PM, it's the perfect time to hop in another Lyft or Uber and head a short distance up to a newer restaurant in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood called Lioness...
Lioness
6:45PM: Post dinner walk + drink at Chez Phinney: With dinner starting and wrapping on the early side, you now have plenty of evening left to walk a bit, digest your meal and check out some of the neighboring spots nearby. My favorite is Chez Phinney...
Chez Phinney Wine Bar
8:15PM: Nightcap at HalfSeas: It's time to wind down the night and if you are feeling up to it and a wine lover like me, then I suggest heading back down to where you just were (it's worth it I promise!) and having a nightcap at HalfSeas, which is al...
