| - I woke up this morning wanting cheesecake. After looking at a couple of coffee shops and bakeries- Amelie's, Central Coffee, and Smelly Cat, to name a few- I decided to try Nova's. They had cannoli, and that's hard to find in this city.
First of all, there were only 2 people there. I was surprised, being that it was a holiday weekend and the neighborhood was packed. I scanned everything, just seeing what they had, and finally got my cheesecake and a cup of coffee.
I was handed a small slice, pre-packaged in a plastic slice box. Upon opening, it was clear that this was several days old- the side were hardened over and dried out. The middle was good, but I couldn't even finish the slice the closer I got to the outer edge.
I'm willing to go back to try their cannoli, but that's about it. I expected much more from a bakery in a prime location in one of the busiest foot-traffic neighborhoods. It should have been packed, and I understand why it wasn't.
