You'd likely be wrong... Pike Place is a big tourist attraction,
especially for foodies... I've been several times. Just about
everyone who is within a day's drive of Seattle goes to Pike Place if
only for lunch; great saw-seege, wonderful cheese, and fabulous bread.
Last I was there was some 35 years ago. I bet it's even more fabulous
now.
I don't remember a crumpet shop but then I wouldn't as I detest any
relatives of pancakes, waffles, English muffins and the like. I'd
head straight to a Sopressata and cheese shop, a bakery for crusty
bread, and get me a jug of Ruffino and I'm good.
