Vincent Bakery Cafe

Bean Paste Doughnut

After our Le Mekong meal, we were looking for some evening snacks/treats. (This Vincent Bakery shares space in the same strip mall.) We arrived late in the day. So, this was the soul surviving doughnut at the end of a very long day. It might […]

Buckthorn Preserves @ Buford Highway Farmers Market

Raspberry & Black Currant Preserves

Someone’s a sucker for pretty packaging.

We bought a jar of the Sea Buckthorn.

Nuts soaked in honey make a lovely accompaniment to a mug of tea and a wedge of pound cake […]

Sweet Auburn Curb Market

Chopped Greens

…And Other Veggies Ready To Go

We eagerly grabbed and bought one of those jars of Hot Chow Chow.

River Street Sweets

Cashew Turtle

Simple and delicious, put the freshest cashews together with soft, creamy caramel and milky dark chocolate. It’s a good thing we only bought one.

Chocolate Covered Praline Blob

We’re not big praline fans. It’s just too much sugar. What […]

Bavarian Rye @ YDFM

Your Dekalb Farmer’s Market Bavarian Rye

We’re still not in love with the bakery section at YDFM. But, they’ve added a few new (and a few other new-ish) baked goods that we do enjoy. This Bavarian rye is one of them. This loaf was a bit too moist. […]

The General Muir — Bagels

The General Muir’s Sesame Bagel

We would have preferred poppy. But, beggars can’t be choosers. Even after an early lunch, the bagels were almost gone by the end of our meal. So, go early!

What separates a good bagel from a great bagel? […]

The General Muir

The Cortado

A pleasant boost to start the meal.

Great, chunky ice for the drinks…

Boylan’s Birch Beer…

…And, Dr Brown’s Cel-Ray

Chopped Liver

Maui Mokka @ Starbucks

Maui Mokka — Starbucks Reserve

We’ve been lounging for almost 4 happy years in the Dancing Goats camp (Batdorf & Bronson, Dancing Goats, more & more still). But, a serendipitous fluke had us wandering randomly into the Decatur Square Starbucks. We stumbled upon a display of Starbucks reserve […]

Cakes & Ale Bakery

Almond Croissant

There are no words to adequately describe the goodness.

The outer layers are delightfully light, flaky, airy and crisp in a perfectly fragile and delicate way. The interior is buttery, dense and so deliciously rich with sweet, almond paste. It’s literally […]

Smoke & Stout Caramel Bar

We both love caramel… especially when the sweetness of it is toned down.

Here, deep dark caramel has complex, malty notes from the chocolate stout. It works beautifully with the bitterness of the smoke. And, there’s this perfectly tiny touch of salt. That hint of salt works to […]
