| - 4.5 despite the set rating! The bakery might have taken into account the previous reviews here on Yelp, because I had no issue with the speed of service and attentiveness of the ladies working there. I had questions regarding just what 5-6 of the cakes were (since nothing had labels), and the lady very patiently explained them to me. I bought a tiramisu slice and burnt almond torte that came to a total of $5.48.
I have a major sweet tooth (seriously, I survive on sweets for lunch most days, and only eat properly for dinner) and felt like a kid in a candy shop - or bakery, I suppose - when browsing the display case. While nothing seemed particularly "novel," there was quite a wide variety of items, and one of the more interesting ones was a spherical "apple dumpling" that apparently had a baked apple inside. There were also cannoli, eclairs, baklava, cheesecakes, carrot cakes, parfaits, and mini creme pies, to name a few more that I can remember.
The other side of the store had cookies, but I had less interest in those so I don't recall anything else except the additional presence of chocolate gobs and thumbprints. Donuts in the case next to them looked to be 3/4 gone, as only the top rack were left (it was around 2 PM).
Maybe I was just particularly hungry that day, but the items I bought were some of the freshest and creamiest cakes I've had, with just the right flavor to satisfy me without being too overpowering. The burnt almond torte had a layer of custard cream filling in it, which I was pleasantly surprised by. The almonds covering it had just the right amount of crunch to them, and the cream was soft yet somewhat dense. I can't recall much about the cake part since the other elements took the spotlight, but I don't think it was particularly airy nor too heavy, and it tasted very good as a whole as well.
The tiramisu was so flavorful. At that point I was about 50-55% full though, and that's when the taste of food comes through less clearly, so I don't quite remember details regarding individual components other than the fact that the base coffee layer, under the ladyfingers, had just the right amount of moisture and that the texture and taste of every part of the cake came together very well.
It's also important to note that this is my first Yelp review, so the fact that I signed up just to discuss this bakery speaks for itself!
