| - I pass by Paddy Cake a lot these days since I tend to travel through the area they're in, so I've been able to stop in more and more and build an opinion of the bakery and its goods alike. Based on my experiences from when I've stopped in, I'd have to say that Paddy Cake is an a-ok place. The baked goods I've purchased here have tasted just fine - they haven't always been particularly unique (I've admittedly been spoiled by the range of goodies available at other bakeries as of late), but I've got nothing against a well made basic treat. Most recently I left with a pre-made box of cupcakes and I found them to be moist and topped with the right amount of icing; the icing wasn't overwhelming in flavor, either, which was a plus in my book. While waiting in line during my most recent visit I also saw a range of cookies and some bread just waiting to be eaten, and a number of boxes waiting to be picked up as well. Considering the sugar craving I had at that point, everything was mouth watering - I would've tried it all if I could have.
That said, while this place is just fine for what it is, it's just not as extravagant as some of the other bakeries that we've been spoiled by as of late. I admit that I haven't been super impressed by the availability of baked goods here during my last few stops, either; maybe it's just me, but during my visits there haven't been a ton of goods ready to go in the store. All I've ever really seen are variety of cookies, a couple danishes, some bread, and a lot of empty shelves. Basically, while goodies I've picked up have tasted pretty good and I've been impressed by the special order cakes I've seen other people pick up, the immediate availability of goods has been generally lacking. Not necessarily bad, but again, when you're spoiled by the availability of treats at other bakeries it can be a little disappointing to stop in at a smaller one and to have to choose from a smaller selection.
All in all, this place is a pretty solid "a-ok" in my book - not always extraordinary but they're good at what they do. I concur with another review who said that this place is worth stopping in at occasionally but not worth going out of your way for. I also recommend special ordering your cake or other goodies when you can here - otherwise you'll just have wait to see what they've got in stock on the day you're stopping in.
