The Essential Baking Company in Seattle is one of my favorite places to patron.   The company occupies a large brick building near Gasworks Park in the Wallingford area just North of Lake Union.  This area is a great place to live as you have easy access to the Burke-Gilman trail, there are many shops & restaurants, it's near Fremont, has EZ access to downtown, as well as the University of Washington, yet is considered a quiet and coveted Seattle neighborhood. 

Using organic ingredients, the Essential Baking Company, makes fresh artisan breads, European pastries, and luscious desserts, as well as serving sandwiches, soups, salads, coffee, teas and more. 

There is always a buzz and lots of activity going on at the café. There is often a full house, making it sometimes difficult to find seating, especially on the weekends.  But if you are looking for a piece of rustic bread, a hot soup of the day, and a latte, then this is the place.
