| - Karsh's Bakery can be found in an almost hidden location of a shopping complex at the corner of 7th Street and Missouri. The same owners who opened the bakery in 1968 still run it to this day.
You will find a variety of bakery items to help you celebrate any occasion (or if you just need a sugar fix). Kichel, rugulach, turnovers, Mondel bread, pastries, challah, fruit bars, breads, bagels, cakes, butter cookies, muffins, eclairs, cheesecakes. There may be more, but my fingers hurt from typing.
I stopped off to sample the famous Black and White cookie at the behest of one of my colleagues at work. When I walked in, I noticed that the price of this cookie was $2.10. Seems a bit steep for a cookie, but after sampling it I can say that it was worth every penny. The texture was light and moist and the frosting on top was rich and chocolaty (The "black" half was, obviously).
Cookies and cakes with edible images on the top can be ordered so you can eat the face of a loved one with little or no screaming. Cakes are available in 10 varieties with over 20 choices of filling and over 5 choices for frosting. Make an appointment to sample the variety of cakes, ensuring your next special occasion is one to remember.
Karsh's also separates the Dairy ingredients from their non-dairy (pareve) items. How thoughtful! The staff was very friendly and helpful and I was served quickly.
Just remember, the Black and White cookie... two races of flavor, living side by side in harmony. Maybe if we look to the cookie, we can learn a little something.
