I've been frequenting this bakery over the last two years and it never disappoints. Everything is always fresh, high quality, and delicious. The space is cozy and inviting as well as clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. I went in on Saturday 10/3 to grab some of their fall weekend specials to try. I got a GIANT slice of pumpkin cake with chocolate and butterscotch mousses and chai buttercream, a s'mores poptart, a fluffernutter sweet roll, and a spinach and ricotta hand pie. Below is my review of each item I bought.
Pumpkin cake with chocolate and butterscotch mousses and chai cream cheese buttercream. Thin layers of pumpkin spice cake alternating with chocolate and butterscotch mousses inbetween, with chai cream cheese buttercream on the outside and a ripple of butterscotch mousse on top. This cake was light and fluffy while still being incredibly moist. The mousses were light, airy, and creamy. The flavors were well balanced and not overly sweet. Wish there was just a little bit more pumpkin spice flavor in the cake and would have preferred if it was chai buttercream rather than butterscotch mousse as the ripple on top. 4.5/5
Fluffernutter sweet roll. One of my favorite sweet rolls from this bakery. Fluffy bun dough filled with peanut butter cream with marshmallow frosting and toasted mini marshmallows on top. The bun was incredible soft and plush, the dough melted in my mouth with each bite. The peanut butter filling was thick and creamy with a slight saltiness that perfectly balanced out the sweet marshmallow frosting. The toasted mini marshmallows on top added a bit of texture that took it to the next level. 5/5
Spinach ricotta hand pie. Tender, buttery melt in your mouth pie crust encasing a generous amount of creamy spinach and ricotta filling, topped with crunchy bits of shredded asiago cheese. Absolutely delicious, hand pies are a new addition to this bakery's repertoire and I'm excited to see what flavors they come up with next! 5/5
S'mores poptart. Same all butter pie crust, this time filled with a decadent chocolate filling made from cocoa powder, butter, and sugar that is studded with bits of crunchy graham crackers. The poptart is topped with a marshmallow glaze, more crushed graham crackers, and mini chocolate chips. This poptart perfectly encapsulates the flavors of a s'more. Though still delicious at room temp, I definitely recommend popping it in the toaster oven for a couple seconds so the crust becomes toasty and the filling gets all ooey gooey. 5/5
