| - Super Chunk is one of my favorite places in the whole entire world. That's only a little bit exaggerating. Owners Sergio and Country are the friendliest, nicest people who genuinely love what they do and care about their customers. Because it's fairly close to work, my coworkers and I frequent Super Chunk pretty often. Sergio knows/remembers us and our normal orders, always making sure everything is coming out exactly as we want it.
I know this is a bakery with phenomenal desserts... but for real, guys, don't sleep on the sandwiches. My personal favorite is the dynamite tuna--I'm pretty picky about tuna, but this has just the right amount of spice, and the pickles balance it out nicely. The BLT is also fantastic, served on their Hawaiian bread. And for days that you really wanna treat yourself, I'd highly recommend the smoked salmon bagel sandwich (I would get it always if I could, but it's $12 and I'm ballin' on a budget). The sandwiches are a good size, hitting the spot with just enough room left for a tasty dessert during lunch.
My absolute favorite dessert they offer, hands down, is the canelé. I haven't found a single other bakery in the area that makes them, and they are one of my favorite desserts of all time. For anyone that hasn't tried them, I like to describe them as hand-held creme brûlée. The outside is caramelized and crispy, and the inside melts in your mouth into buttery sugary goodness. The texture is vaguely reminiscent of tapioca flour. My favorite cake of theirs is probably the Blackout Cake, and I'm not even a huge chocolate cake fan. My issue with chocolate cake in general is that it's pretty dry and one-dimensional, but this cake is fantastic, not at all dry, with layers of chocolate frosting in between and topped with Oreo cookie crumbles. Also truly amazing is the peanut butter pie. Like, probably in my top 10 desserts of all time. It is smooth peanut buttery deliciousness sitting on top of an unbelievable crust and then covered in dark chocolate. Seriously, don't miss out on it.
Things that I personally thing are either not really worth the price tag, or otherwise forgettable: any of the cookies, and the birthday cake. The cookies taste great, but are pretty crumbly and a little dry. The birthday cake, while adorable and covered in tiny ball sprinkles, is fine but nothing to write home about. The chocolate cake is still great, but I'm personally just not a big fan of buttercream, and the buttercream:cake ratio is pretty disproportionate.
Also, for anyone with a gluten sensitivity, they newly have gluten-free ice cream cones and a handful of gluten free ice cream flavors. Don't get distracted by just all of the pastries, the ice cream is stellar too.
I strongly recommend Super Chunk to anyone who's going to be in the area, just with the small disclaimer that it's a little bit pricey.
