For weeks, the storefront teased commuters and passersby on Bellevue with giant photos of chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes. Yesterday, on the way back from seeing Bolt, we found Le Baker's Dozen had quietly opened for a test run; today (Saturday) is the official open. On the menu, cookies, cakes and pies, scones and cupcakes and other baked goods, including many vegan offerings. Tasters gave the cupcakes a thumbs up. The shop also sells some baking mixes, jams, cookie cutters and other items, giving it a country store vibe. Open 7:30 a.m. every day except Monday; drop in today and sample some mini-cupcakes.
Does the menu on their Web site really say $60 for a chocolate layer cake, $25 for an apple pie, and $2 for a cupcake? Yikes! It's a hard time to open any business, even worse time to open one that depends on people who don't care what they spend.
