I visited the K&K Bakery booth at the West Side Market last week. It was a life-changing experience.
A day hasn't gone by since my trip to the market where I haven't day dreamed about the $2 chocolate bear claw I purchased and enjoyed on Friday...and then again on Saturday. No, really, I convinced my friend I was staying with while in town to take me back to the market the next day so that I could buy another bear claw. Dense and insanely chocolate-y, this bit of Heaven was truly one of the best desserts/pastries I've had in my life. It's like a chocolate croissant on steroids. Hit up K&K Bakery before noon because the bear claws, while still incredible, do get dry around the edges as the day wears on.
Also fantastic was the $1 cherry donut my friend chose last Friday. Really dense cake donut, great cherry flavor, fantastic glaze. Delicious.
I'd do bad, bad things for either of the above right now. K&K Bakery rocks.
