Pleasantly crisp, this cannoli is lightly dusted with cinnamon and the interior is brushed with a layer of chocolate. The chocolate coating provides a barrier between cream and shell. The cream is rich, dense and very lightly sweetened. Simply put, this is a traditional Italian-American cannoli. Personally, I love this […]
What’s better than mofongo? Mofonjo with shrimp smothered in spicy red sauce. We first visited the Dominican Restaurant & Bakery last year. Check out those pictures here.
Mofongo is made of deep-fried plantains that have been smashed and fried again. Then, they are coarsely mashed […]
With only a few bagels left, we were able to grab one of each remaining type. One poppy, one egg and one everything, each bagel was soft and tender on the inside with a nice chew to the crust. When asked where they got their bagels, they told us they […]

Soft flattened balls of pastry are soaked in syrup then topped with a creamy fudge-like icing, pistachios, and garnished with a cherry. The syrup-soaked cake-y balls have a texture much like a Cuban tres leches. But, they’re richer… if you can imagine that. The dense fudgy icing gives […]

This chestnut honey from Alon’s Bakery is incredible. It has a richness and intensity I’ve never seen before. I think it’s the best chestnut honey I’ve ever been fortunate enough to taste. With a price tag just over $15, it’s no bargain. But, the quality is obvious from the terra […]
Lemon Walnut Raisin Bread
This loaf of Dekalb Farmer’s Market bread was startlingly good and fresh. It was a lovely blend of clearly distinguishable flavors. It was perfect toasted with butter. We enjoyed it equally, if not more, with the last of our roasted turkey. But, oddly, they […]

One Perfect Pretzel
This pretzel really is a thing of beauty. From shape to flavor to texture, this pretzel hits all the right notes. Dense & chewy in all the right ways, while, still full of enough air bubbles to create the proper texture. With a near-perfect flavor, Bernhard’s pretzel […]
Championship Loaf
Dotted with whole grain, this championship loaf from the Little European Bakery provides a solid foundation for cheeses, spreads and small open-faced sandwiches. The crust provides a nice crisp bite while the interior is rich with lovely nutty grain flavors. Full of cracked wheat and rolled oats, this […]
