. "5"^^ . "An excerpt from a letter to Slade Grove, Wicked Kitchen Confections:\n\n\"Luci's was the perfect spot to feature your confections. The service was amazing. My latte had a little heart in foam on the top. The service people were so friendly, but I feel like they should know more about what a big deal you are :) I had to educate them! I could put together a powerpoint if you'd like (kidding).\nThe place was neat and tidy but had a nice warm quality to it. They had the convertible doors open so the breeze was really fitting for a late morning pastry-brunch.\"\n\nA friend and I skipped the gym and went over to Luci's to celebrate my birthday and the Wicked pastries now being featured. We split a cinnamon roll and a red velvelt mini-cake (because according to Slade cupcake are out of fashion). The atmosphere was clean but cozy, the coffee was delicious and served with a smile. As far as the pastries... it's Slade. You can't go wrong.\nLuci, the owner, was outgoing and interested in our opinions of the place.\nOverall, it was a lovely experience. I hope to return soon for an actual meal or maybe to take a cooking lesson."^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . . "2009-11-10T00:00:00"^^ . .
