Like macarons? Lady Yum is coming

Signs in the window of the former Laguna Vintage Pottery space tell the story, and Eater Seattle confirms: Lady Yum's champagne and macaron shop is opening in a few months. Just off the north end of Occidental Square, they'll also be offering "savory amuse buche/tapas style snacks highlighting the best of the northwest, a full line of individual French style entremets (also keeping them all gluten free), house brewed craft beer, a take on afternoon tea, and so much more!", according to this post on Facebook.

There's a lot to translate there, especially for someone a little less sophisticated than the champagne/macaron/tea set. Here goes.

Macaron: a colorful meringue-based mildly-sweet sandwich cookie, made with almond flour and buttercream or jam filling. Not to be confused with macaron, a grated coconut super-sweet drop cookie; Macron, a French president; macron, an straight bar accent mark above a letter (e.g., Māori), Marconi, a telecommunications inventor; or macaroni, Yankee Doodle headgear.

Amuse-bouche: spelled wrong by Lady Yum's Facebook post, it's a bite-sized appetizer selected by the chef and served for free.

Tapas: small plate. Less food for more money, but often incredibly intricate and artistically presented.

Entremets: Desserts, usually a mousse cake.

House-brewed craft beer: Not Budweiser.
