Off the beaten path is Jack's, in the Oakwood & Rogers Rd. area. It's hard to miss. It's the only brightly lit and well signed business in the area at 9pm.
The lighting is important because Jack's serves up a feast for the eyes of Portuguese baked treats. They have a huge selection of pastries and baked goods from mini-cheese cakes to traditional Portuguese custard tarts. They do custom cakes too.
I walked out of there with a massive rum ball covered with pastel bunny sprinkles, some tarts and a small loaf of Portuguese corn bread for less than $10.
The service was friendly and helpful, despite the language barrier, which only made me resent the awfulness of my local Nova Era even more.
