I've been a pretty regular customer of Bartrams over the years. It's a great spot for a post-workout breakfast, weekend lunch, or midday pastry break with friends. The prices are a little steep compared to other bakeries, but the size of the pastries is also at least double what I've had at other places. The danishes are soft and flaky, the macaroons are light and chewy, and the coffee and iced tea is free refills. If you're in the area and deciding between a chain establishment or Bartrams I'd choose Bartrams every time.
