I believe that if I wasn't Leopold's first customer, I was certainly one of the first and the first to order a cake from him when he opened in 2002. It was for my wife's 50th and the best d***** cake I've ever had. We lived around the corner and my wife-monitored diet notwithstanding, I used to sneak over and pick up pastries over there frequently. He is, by the way, a candymaker by trade. We have since bought cakes and other pastries, as well as candy from the shop and it is absolutely great. Everyone here like's Fried's (Freed's?), but as far as I'm concerned, this is the best bakery in town.
