I'm a big fan of the Priory bakery. I've been going here ever since I moved to the North Side when I first moved to Pittsburgh 6+ years ago.
I've tried countless cupcakes and pastries over the years, and while the richness of their icing may not be everyone's favorite, it sure resonates well with my taste buds!
My wife ordered cakes for my birthday from there, as well, and both were very tasty. Their almond torte cake was phenomenal. In fact, just writing about it makes me want to pick one up just because this weekend.
Everyone that works there has always been very pleasant to deal with, as well, which leaves me where absolutely nothing to complain about. Well, aside from the weight that the Priory won't allow me to keep off.
