I always have to get my 3 mozzarella cheese sticks with marinara sauce. I had a breakfast sausage croissant but it wasn't good. -__- My bf had a sour dough steak melt, it was awesome! LOL..in comparison.

Also stopped by a Starbucks because we needed something to keep us going for the morning!
Next food stop is L&L Hawaiian BBQ! It was okay...it kind of tasted like Korean/Chinese food. It was extremely flavourful but a little dry and fatty. The spam musubi was bizarre! I will not buy the spam musubi again.

Macrina Bakery and Cafe for some desserts/baked goods. The cake and cookies were so delicious! I never tasted anything as good as these baked goods in Vancouver. The cake is so moist and rich. My bf really liked the cookie too.

Last stop in Seattle was at
Maximus Minimus! It was on tv..on the food network but I forgot what show. It looks awesome but the taste wasn't for me. It reminded me of the left over Chinese soup meat inside a bun marinaded in bbq sauce. The truck was so cool though...it was shaped like a pig!
