From cherry almond to isfahan, the eclairs at choukette come in a variety of delicious flavors, and are made fresh at 1500 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98101, in Pike Place Market.
Choukette is a small little place, separated from the rest of the tourists at Pike Place, and the employees there are very enthusiastic.
The eclairs there are pretty expensive, starting at $5.90 each. Despite the pricing, however, the eclairs are well-made, delicious, and subtly flavored.
We tried a lot of their flavors, so I feel good enough to give a few recommendations as to that $5.90 price tag.
In order, the flavors above are cherry almond, isfahan, huckleberry, mango, hazelnut, and tiramisu.
Isfahan, out of all these flavors, was by far the best, but unfortunately, it’s a seasonal flavor. If you happen to drop by during the summer, be sure to grab that one! Huckleberry, also a seasonal flavor, was unique, subtle, and not too sweet. Cherry Almond and Mango, however, both tasted artificial and honestly slightly overpowering in terms of sweetness.
Hazelnut took me back to my time in Paris. It was lovely. Tiramisu, which was touted as the most popular of the eclairs, was alright, but my bias against tiramisu may play a part in my review. The coffee taste in the tiramisu was subtle, and for a non-tiramisu lover, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
A picture of their in store menu is included previously in this post (it’s more expansive than the one on their website). However, if you want the website link, it’s https://www.choukette.com/our-gallery.
