For Seattleites craving freshly baked ensaymada and pan de sal, there are two options: trek down to Red Ribbon in Tukwila or stop by Despi Delite Bakery, serving Beacon Hill for more than 20 years. Red Ribbon may offer the larger selection, but we prefer Despi’s ensaymada, which is more buttery than cheesy. Despi also features a selection of gigantic doughnuts, cookies, French pastries, and to-go and made-to-order cakes—but to us, a visit here is all about the first few bakery cases full of Filipino goodies, from the turon (banana lumpia) to the pan de ube (soft bread with a sweet purple yam filling).
