Crixa Cakes

The display case at Crixa is filled with beautiful pastries that taste as good as they look. When I go in, I end up standing there for at least five minutes trying to decide what I want. I have never been disappointed. The coffee cake and flourless chocolate cake are especially good, as are the espresso drinks. The decor is nifty and comfortable, and the employees are really friendly. This place is rarely crowded, but it should be. Next time you go grocery shopping, try stopping in at Crixa for a relaxed, leisurely cake and coffee before venturing across the street to the hectic chaos that is Berkeley Bowl.

All their stuff is great. They have a beautiful Boston Cream Pie. Their other cakes are absolutely delicious, old-fashioned, simple and uncomplicated. This bakery is on Adeline Street in Berkeley and was written up in San Francisco magazine.
