Continuing my quest to find some of the best bakery/dessert places in Seattle, over the weekend I went to Lady Yum in downtown Seattle, located right next to the Amazon spheres.
Honestly, I had never heard of this store before the Seattle location opened last year. I’m not going to lie – when I first saw the sign go up, I thought it was some sort of adult type store. But nope, like the sign says, Lady Yum is in the macaron business.
The macarons are $2 each. You can order individual macarons or you can get a pack. They also sell drinks like champagne, wine, and coffee. The Seattle store is a little small with only about 4 tables to sit at. There are more tables outside on the sidewalk to sit at, however if you purchase alcohol you are required to sit inside.
There are 20 flavors of macarons you can choose from. I ended up buying 3 macarons and some bubbly champagne. After a lot of deliberation the macaron flavors I decided on were salted caramel, toffee, and unicorn (I think the unicorn may have had strawberry filling).
Conclusion – the macarons were delicious. These confections were cakey with just the right amount of filling. My favorite was the salted caramel, but that may be because I like my desserts to be both salty and sweet (I think the salt really brings out the sweetness). The unicorn macaron was delicious as well but I thought the toffee macaron could have used a little bit more flavor.
Lady Yum was a fun and novel place to go. If you like macarons I would recommend visiting, purely for the wide variety of flavors offered.
