| - I'm sure the problem is with me...I'm on a salty kick at present and really crave brie and oysters and fresh salsa and (as usual) pho.
I drove 30 minutes to this place.
Nice, bright, modern interior. Friendly people. Beautifully laid out display of cookies and pastries and fudge and cakes.
The people ahead of me were buying red velvet cupcakes (naked) and gettting them iced to go. They looked fabulous. **
I tried a raspberry linzer torte, Italian wedding cookies, a gingerbread man (welll, his foot and part of his head, courtesy of my daughter), and a cream puff filled with custard.
I didn't expect to like the coffee better than the pastries, but I did.
They were FINE, really. I'm sure most people would have been in love. Like I said, I'm sure it's me. It was just too sweet.
Not going to drive that far, when I have a Fresh Market close at hand, and a Dean & Delucas within 10 minutes or so.
**Edited to say: I need to specify that the CUPCAKES were naked and looked fabulous, not the people. They were fully covered.
