    I promised the wife that I would search for and find a special cake or other exemplary baked good for the centerpiece dessert of our Spring Festival celebration this year. With good friends visiting from her homeland (China), I had no choice. After a lunch meeting in Norristown yesterday, I decided to see what I could find there. Fear not! Eli's Bakery Cafe was only minutes away on W. Marshall Street with strong reviews, so I drove over to take a look. I was blown away! Eli's is an amazing Mexican bakery with enough space to have large refrigerated displays, wall length 7 foot enclosed pastry shelves, and racks of bread, individual portions of various cakes, rolls and whatever your heart desired that could be baked in their enormous ovens. The skill level of their artisans was off the charts, and obviously trained and well practiced in the bakery arts. Yes. I was sorely tempted to score many of the delectables I saw, but I was on a mission, and bringing home a large box of sweets and goodies would not be well received at home. So, I focused and found the most attractive work of art I could find - a glazed fruit covered Flan y Chocflan con Fruta super tart. Huge strawberries circled the circumference, while raspberries, grapes and sliced peaches filled the rest of the topside. The flan was simply remarkable. Made of eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk and caramel, it was cool and far beyond delicious. It was one of those magical custards that make you swoon when it hits the tongue. Perfect flavor and texture. Not too sweet, you could almost convince yourself it was healthy, too. Truth was; I didn't care! This was one of the best things I had put in my mouth in the past year or more. We did have a feast last night. About 10 Chinese dishes that filled us as we ate and drank the night away. Yet, the star of the show came from this Mexican bakery half way around the world from the Middle Kingdom. Eli's made the showstopper. And I was the conquering hero for one night.

    Extensive selection of pastries and cakes. Went here for a tres leches cake. It was $125 for a suggested 40 person cake. Truly it could have served more than forty. Definitely worth it. Delicious. Ended up getting strawberry filling but they also had sever other option. They also put icing on the front and any kind of writing you want. On the pastry front they have dozens of rows of items on metal trays. You serve yourself here and grab a circular metal tray and tongs and grab the items you want then take them to the front for check out. They also have Mexican sodas and other beverages.

    On a weekday night this bakery was actually quite busy with regular customers, I was impressed. At the front you can choose from pastries to pick up and people got trays and stacked them full! I got a peach tres leche for $4.50. The slice was pretty big and the taste was pretty good. I was surprised it was so cheap! I had no trouble trying to order in English though most people around me were ordering in Spanish. There is a $5 card minimum tho, so bring cash if you're planning to get something small.

    Incredible selection of delicious Mexican pastries, cakes, cookies, breads and sweets. This is a classic authentic Mexican bakery. The staff is very talented with cake decorating and made a beautiful crafted cake for her birthday on short notice. It was as delicious as it looked. They also keep many cakes ready to go for walk up orders.

    Excellent! Overwhelming! Largest pastries I've seen. Tried for the first time on Cinco de Mayo and brought to work. It was accepted very well! The pastries were not overly sweet. Beautifully created. Will try again soon.

    Morabito Baking Company has been around since 1932 and remains in the same family into its fourth…read moregeneration. It is a full service bakery, producing everything from rolls to bagels, muffins, pies and my reason for writing this review - tomato pies. Norristown is the center of Tomato Pie Land, and competes with all the big boys of this genre, most notably Corropolese and Conshohoken. Tomato pie is unique for three main reasons: 1) its simple elegance in having only two major aspects - thick/light dough base and heavy lightly sweet tomato sauce applied across the entire top of the large square crust; 2) the fact that it is made in bakeries rather than pizzerias; and 3) it is served at room temperature, giving it broad utility and versatility. I recently found a stack of Morabito Tomato Pies at the Costco in Warrington, PA. At $6.99 for a boxed quarter sheet, it was almost too good to be true. Could it possibly match up with the other stars that are famous around these parts? We bought a box to find out. It was every bit as good as those guys', and maybe even better, especially given the great price. I just finished the last four squares watching Christmas Eve football and enjoyed every last bite. Of course it was even sweeter that the Cowboys lost! Congratulations to Morabito Baking Company for getting a deal with Costco. This can't be anything but positive for further growth and recognition.

It was a hit with the entire party. We will order any pastries and cakes from Lice bakery moving forward. Lunch was also a nice experience!

Overall, most of the baked goods were very tasty, while the breakfast items were more hit or miss. The restaurant is located in a really nice area with a small town feel, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The bakery is in a really charming location with a small town feel. The space itself is cozy and inviting, and they also have a small amount of outdoor seating, which is a nice option when the weather is nice. It feels like the kind of place you can easily stop by for a casual breakfast or pick up some baked goods to take home. Service - Service was excellent. The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with was helpful and accommodating. It was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. What We Ordered - -Frenchie - Pretty good overall. A solid breakfast option with good flavor. -Johnny Boy - Just okay. It was missing a little seasoning and could have used more flavor. -Carrot Cake - Really good. We ordered this for a birthday celebration, and everyone really enjoyed it. -Carrot Cupcake - One of my favorites. Moist, flavorful, and had a great balance of sweetness. -German Chocolate Cupcake - Also one of my favorites. Rich, flavorful, and very enjoyable. -Lemon Bar - Just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out compared to some of the other baked goods we tried. Final Thoughts - Overall, we had a very good experience at Alice Bakery & Confectionary. The breakfast items were decent, but the baked goods were definitely the highlight for us. I would absolutely come back for the cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods. If I return for breakfast, I would probably try one of their quiches next time, which I didn't realize was an option when I ordered. The friendly service, charming location, and small outdoor seating area are also good reasons to come back.
