Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Cafe

always the place to get the cookies you need,linzers and almond cookies,
and for me either the apple flan, or the wonderful flourless chocalate souffle cake.
if i have time i stay and have one of the daily soups.

I tried Bittersweet after a friend told me that when she gets married she would order her wedding cake from there. I have ordered a cake from there and it was modern looking--ganache frosting, happy birthday message written in gold on a chocolate square--but a bit dry, even the recipient of the cake told me that she found the cake a bit dry and suggested I not bring a cake from there again. They are also pricey. Their tarts (about $3 for a small one) and Tiramisu (about $5+ for one that would serve 1 or possibly 2) are quite good, but expensive. I have not been impressed by any of the cookies even as delicious as they look. Their cherry clafloutis is outstanding, and I am not a cherry fan. Parking is not that bad.

PROS: Clafloutis, tiramisu, tarts
CONS: Prices, cakes

This pastry shop has some delicious treats! I really love their cupcakes. They have very rich cake and frosting flavors and they decorate them beautifully!

This is both a bakery and a good place for lunch, serving salads, sandwiches, soup, etc. They are mainly known for their cakes and pasteries. They look beautiful and taste as good as they look, which is sometimes hard to come by. Wide variety, everything is fresh.

PROS: great food
CONS: Parking can be difficult

This shop has some really cute cookies and beautiful cakes on dispaly for weddings and other occassions. Some of there desserts are very good while others are just mediocre. I think it's another one of those over-priced trendy cafes. The brownies are pretty good. The decor is nothing special. You can also sit in the shop and enjoy your dessert with some tea or coffee. It's a nice one time experience.
