Yumster in my Tumster! I first got introduced to Prantl's a few years ago when I lived in Shadyside. I tried their decorative cookies and I was hooked. Since then I've tried many of their delectable pastries and some noteworthy ones include the decorative cookies, almond torte, and pecan tassies - I'm sure everything else is also wonderful!
I'm so happy they recently opened up their downtown location, now I don't have to worry about hours of operation b/c I work so close to them downtown, but I still think fondly of the Shadyside location.
I definitely recommend this place for a quick sugary snack or if you need to buy pastries for a group of people. It is more expensive than some other bakeries, but I think this is the type of place where "you get what you pay for" is applicable.
