| - Experience: I was ordering some lunch for delivery on Eat24 for some friends, when I noticed a new bakery available for delivery. I thought it would be a nice treat to have some baked goods for after lunch.
Service: the delivery time was about an hour, which is what they advertised. I live in a high rise and was a little disappointed when the delivery chic called me and asked me to come down. I told her she needed to come up, because I paid for delivery and tipped already. Then she came up without argument.
Food: I ordered the following items...
1. Coconut cake - very good, but a little sweet. I prefer the lighter whipped cream frosting versus the thick, sweet buttercream frosting, but this was still good.
2. Baklava - they sent the honey on the side, but I tried it without the sauce and then later with the sauce soaked in. It was good, but not the best I've ever eaten. I guess it's not a fair judgement though, because I did spend 4 years in the Middle East.
3. Honey Almond cake - this was my fav of all of these choices. It was light, not too sweet and had almonds on it.
4. Cream puff - the pastry was dry (versus soggy like others are) and the cream filling good. If you are not big on super sweet sweets, this is a good pick for you.
5. Fruit tart - this was very close for first place fav. I love the crunchy cookie tart the pudding and fruit was in. The fruit was a little sweet with the glaze, but it also provided some tartness from the berries and tangerines to counter. I really enjoyed this.
6. Manan cake - this was such a beautifully decorated cake. It had white chocolate shavings on top died in various pastel colors. This cake had the whipped cream topping I would have loved on the coconut cake. My only issue was the actual cake was chocolate, which I don't like.
Overall: each piece was like a work of art. It definitely pleased the visual side of my hunger. Most were delicious, but all were at least good. I will definitely order again, and look forward to stopping in someday too.
