Kent
In Kent, enjoy an adorable macaron or three, and stroll around the koi pond at a nearby park.
Sweet Themes Bakery
Location: 317 W. Meeker St., Suite A, Kent
Sweet Themes Bakery doesn’t have seating, but no matter: Just order your gorgeous baked goods and gobble them up at the park. Decorated sugar cookies in a variety of themes, cute little macarons, cupcakes and cake pops are just a few of the offerings. Coffee drinks are available for tired parents.
Kaibara Park
Location: First Avenue between West Smith and West Meeker streets, Kent
This tiny Japanese-style park is right by the railroad tracks, a short walk from the bakery. Parents will appreciate the peaceful vibe, and kids will love watching the koi swimming in the pond. This is a small greenspace, but the path around the pond and a waterfall feature make this a pleasant stop for parents and kids alike.
