I owe the Oakmont Bakery an apology; I think because my visits here for baked treats (Doughssaint! Black and White cookie!) were so good, I hoped that Oakmont would be great at everything (and by that I mean "make a mean pastrami sandwich on rye"). And while the do make a good sandwich, they are are really a bakery, not a deli. As much as I would like to shop for all my food groups in one place, it does say "Bakery" right in the name, so it's really my wishful thinking.
After tasting your lekvar paczki, Oakmont, I am ready to write a love letter to your prune filling. Let other places be all things to all people - you can just be my favorite bakery. Other people may love the Oakmonter; I will forever know you as the place that out-paczki-ed the Polish bakery I left behind in Ohio. I loved every bite, and appreciate you making my Fat Tuesday extra-fat. I'm sorry I ever doubted you, even for a second, and I'll be back long before it's paczki season again.
