Seatango Argentine Bakery & Cafe
Incredible, authentic baked goods
Pan-fried pork xiao long bao, united by their starchy fried-out communal skirt, are required eating here — plus they come in the giant two-foot-tall multi-level bamboo steamer, very grand to behold. The hand-pulled beef noodles are a whole spectacle too, speaking of beholding things: a huge Gordian knot of fat, chewy noodles coated in chili oil, dotted with bits of minced beef, and stacked with cucumber matchsticks.

Despite what most New Yorkers say, you CAN get legit Sicilian-style cannoli in Seattle. But unless you want your cannolis before 6 p.m. —hey, some do! — Kelly Cannoli will be closed when mainstream dessert time rolls around. Cool hack, though: Just stay where you are, because Brother Barrel has the late-night cannoli hookup! The brewery carries Kelly’s chocolate chip cannolis, dusted with powdered sugar and more mini-chips, along with Kaffeeklatch’s schokogugelhopf (chocolate Bundt cake), served à la mode. The next day, when you’re craving more cannoli, head south about 10 blocks, where New Jersey transplant Kelly McGinty-Wilson is serving about a dozen styles, like lemon zest, pistachio, and a classic white with maraschino cherry, out of her little pink hut.
