Seattle, WA – The gang at Volunteer Park Cafe is baking up a storm for the upcoming holiday season. Ericka Burke and pastry chef Emily Weeks will be making holiday pies to order as well as granola and beloved VPC cookies—both the regular suspects and some holiday specialties.
Chocolate and pecan have been deliciously united in the Chocolate Pecan Pie, and the classics, Apple and Pumpkin, both organic, are the perfect addition to the holiday table. Pies are $32 each, and orders need to be placed by Thursday, December 20 and can be picked up on Saturday and Sunday, December 22 & 23.
Located among the elegant homes of Seattle’s North Capitol Hill, Volunteer Park Cafe (VPC) is the quintessential neighborhood-meeting place. With mismatched vintage chairs, throw pillows tossed along banquets, and a communal table running the length of the inviting sunlit room – it’s the perfect place to spend time. The food is delicious home-style goodness, house made pastries, savory and sweet, and a selection of fresh salads, soups, and sandwiches provide daytime provisions ordered from friendly faces behind the counter. As the light dims and the candles are lit, table service begins and guests cozy in for rustic pizzas and ever-changing seasonal offerings like Braised Beef Brisket with Creamy Polenta and Greens, Pan Seared Halibut, or the heavenly Pot Pie. VPC offers a generous selection of boutique wines by the glass and bottles of wine can be enjoyed at the cafe or taken to go. VPC is open Tuesday – Friday from 7am – 4:30pm, weekends from 8am – 4:30pm, and dinner is served Tuesday – Saturday from 5:30pm – 9pm.
