"Karsh's Bakery has been around forever - with that kind of staying power, you would expect great things when you walk through the door. How else did they make it so long here?\n\nWell, I don't have an answer for you. After a recent visit, I still have no idea. The place felt very sterile and there was a lack of personality behind the counter. Perhaps that is because there was a lack of confectionary wonderment in the bakery cases. Sure they had basic cookies and cakes, and some sweet breads, but Momma L and I were hard pressed to find a special birthday treat for her. \n\nIt could be the curse of an afternoon visit that could be blamed for the lack of variety, but they did seem to have plenty of cookies left. And their cakes looked amazing but there was only the option to purchase a whole cake. I'm sure they do quite a bit of catering and it could be well worth it for a special cake order. But for the occasional visit as a special treat for the eyes and tastebuds, this was not the place.\n\nWe did purchase an 2 eclairs - since that was the most exciting option - and can't say that it was a memorable birthday dessert that night."^^ .
