So apparently I have been missing out...
For some reason until this weekend the only bakery I had been into in Kensington was Cobbs - nice place, expensive, kindof lacking variety.
Walking into My Market Bakery was amazing!
I haven't been impressed by a bakery in a while (I am still missing over-priced Pan Chancho in Kingston) by My Market Bakery brought a smile to my face - so much variety, inspiring ideas for baked goods, and to boot the prices aren't hard on my student budget :)
Since it was early and this was one of our first stops on a meandering walk through downtown, my friend and I decided to just split something to give the place a try. We went with a Mexican Coffe (or mocha?) cookie. For the flat price of $1 we left happy. Overall, the cookie had a great flavour and was generous in size. The only disappointment was that it was rather crunchy - and not really in an its-supposed-to-be-that-way kind of thing.
I will likely be back to the bakery to try something else soon - but if my purchase isn't fresh on my next visit, I will probably only be returning for a third time for the sake of baking inspiration rather than craving satisfaction.
