A Sweet Pride Treat
The newest addition to the Flora restaurant family, The Flora Bakehouse serves up delicious baked goods, leavened breads, sweet and savory pastries, and rotating seasonal vegan and vegetarian breakfast bites. Throughout the month of June this LGBTQ-owned cafe is also serving rainbow cakes and cookies and 50% of the proceeds go towards Camp Ten Trees, a summer camp specifically for LGBTQ youth and youth from LGBTQ families. June 27 through 28 stop in for slices of the colorful cake. If cupcakes are more your style, Cupcake Royal’s “The Gay” vanilla confetti cake promises not to dissappoint, and Frankie & Joe’s Harvey Strawberry Milk has also made a deliciously colorful comeback. Those treats also support LGBTQ causes, but you can also learn more about how to support Seattle’s LBGTQ-owned bars and restaurants here.
