It still may not look like much from the outside, but some of the paper has come down at Wink, allowing passersby to catch a glimpse of Queen Anne Ave’s new cupcake parlor, set to open one week from today, on Tuesday, January 5.
I stopped by this afternoon and got a sneak peek at the sweet shop. While chatting about the opening with “Über Manager” Lisa Gagnon, several people stopped in to see when Wink would be opening up, clearly eager for some cupcakes.
“We’re excited to be in the Queen Anne community and be a place where people can congregate,” Lisa said about the three-year-old company’s first retail location. She also said that they’d be putting a sign that reads, “Please refrain from licking the glass,” in the window that opens into the baking area, where “People can watch their cupcakes in action,” according to Lisa.
In addition to serving many seasonal and year-round flavors (their menu is not totally set yet, but includes old standbys like red velvet with classic cream cheese frosting, as well as unique concoctions like champagne cake with lemon buttercream and Guinness with “frothy frosting”), they will also sell Whidbey Island Ice Cream and an organic direct trade coffee blend from Guatemala grown and roasted specifically for them.
The pink and polka dot clad shop is filled with cupcake paraphernalia – including T-shirts and even cupcake-shaped bath bombs – made by local artists and businesses.
“We’re a little blend of small and local,” Lisa said.
Wink will be open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. They’ll be closed on Mondays. (Note their hours have changed since our last report). Also, Wink will be continuing it’s delivery service, bringing cupcakes and coffee straight to your door Thursday through Saturday, or by appointment.
“We’re heavy on delivery,” Lisa said. “Instead of sending flowers, you can send cupcakes!”
Welcome Wink, we’re excited to have you on the hill!

To the people of Queen Anne!
As you elected representative, I feel it would be violation of my fiduciary obligation if I were to allow you to sample this product without assurances of safety and tastiness.
Therefore, in the spirit of public service that you elected me to perform, I will sacrifice myself to be your official taster to ensure that all flavors meet the highest level of quality befitting our neighborhood.
I do this only in the spirit of service to you, your children and our future.
Your humble servant,
Reuven Carlyle
State Representative and Queen Anne Resident
36th Legislative District

I have followed Ubermanager Lisa's journey from “the possibility of a part-time job” to total immersion, and finally “OMG, this is soooo cool!” Lisa has put her heart into this and it cannot fail to be a great place!

There's also a hair salon at the top of the hill on McGraw named Wink. I'm sure they're thrilled that another business moved into the same neighborhood with the same name.

Lisa was my very first friend when I came to work at Starbucks Corporate. She is an awesome lady, and will be an excellent Ambassadoress for Queen Ann

The trick would be to put aside a tiny reasonable amount of time to sit and hold to that discipline. At first the thoughts will come up with all sorts of essential tasks you should be doing rather than meditation. Keep reassuring yourself “I have put aside these fifteen minutes soley for meditation. There’s absolutely nothing more important in these fifteen minutes.”
