Hold everything. There are donuts involved. Not just your garden variety kind either. We’re talking straight from the seven deadly sins, which makes us crave the zinfandel of the same name, but enough, this is about donuts. And weed. And coffee, yes, ethical coffee, with a side of gelato. And finally, it’s about Bundt cakes, sure why not, Bundt cakes, of the funny spelling. We can never decide if the “D” is silent or not, but we digress —to get to the point, finally — we sometimes arrive there, eventually. You already know what this is about though, introducing our top three holiday treats in Mill Creek.
Let’s do this in order. First up: Weed.
First stop: A Greener Today in Bothell. This pot shop in Bothell will take care of all your weed needs, from flowers to edibles to funky new cannabis-infused products (that happen to make perfect stocking stuffers). Before you go all out with donuts, coffee and Bundt cakes, clearly a stop at this Bothell recreational marijuana store is pretty much mandatory. Toke on the highest quality cannabis for sale in the Pacific Northwest. This way you won’t hold back once you get to your second stop …
Frost. Frost wasn’t voted “Seattle’s Best Doughnut” by Metropolitan Magazine for no reason. With “evolved” varieties of doughnuts like Aztec Chocolate, Bourbon Caramel Pecan Sweet Potato Raised and Boston Cream Bismarck, we are pretty confident the doughnuts will win any battle of wills. Recently, Frost has introduced seasonal macaroons to their menu, and who wouldn’t be delighted with you for showing up at their holiday party with a box of candy cane, gingerbread and eggnog caramel macaroons? We’d vote you #1 VIP of the party.
Stop Two on our Top Three Holiday Treats in Mill Creek Magical Tour
You still with us? For that, we applaud you! Go ahead and re-pack the bowl and get ready for Stop Two: Coffee from The Spotted Cow Coffee Company . But it’s not just coffee, it’s gelato and ice cream, too. Ever ethically-conscious, Spotted Cow pursues direct-trade relationships with farms and works with respected importers. Grab a seat at the Slow Bar with an exquisite cappuccino or late, pair it with the highly-recommended Double Fudge Brownie homemade ice cream, and sit for a spell—spellbound—by watching the roasting process unfold slowly before your eyes.
Stop Three: You’ll need to refuel with the goods you got from the Premium Bothell pot shop after all that caffeine and wicked good sugar. Are you ready for Bundt Cake? But this isn’t just any old Bundt Cake. It’s Nothing Bundt Cakes in Mill Creek and it’s special because their story goes all the way back to 1977 when the two owners got together and decided to use nothing but real, whole ingredients and so it goes till this day. Holiday Bundt Cakes will light up the faces of your recipients because they’re absolutely stunning to look at and—delish. Get the Holly Jolly with cream cheese frosting or a tray of adorable, bite-size Bundtinis!
Godspeed to you on your trek to the top three holiday treats in Mill Creek. We hope you make all stops on our little holiday gluttony tour—the one time of year you can get away with it.
