Candied almonds by the pound. Down side, no prices, so you know it's going to be something for a treat or a special occasion. It is a small waking space so you will need to order to go. Well staffed, friendly. Our group was so excited about this visit, I had a wait list and had to schedule a second visit. Everything is so decadent and rich it is a meal in itself or to share. Zero calories they have extended hours during the Columbus day weekend, but otherwise closes at 6pm in general. You can tell these are family recipes done right.

I'd go back just for that, but they have an awesome roomy space and a ton of other things to choose from as well. More on the scone for a second.. Flaky, buttery, salty, filling, everything about it was fantastic. Okay, the cookie. The spicy pb cookie, it was very complex, had me pondering everything I knew about peanut butter cookies with the layers of flavor and sensations. That said, it was a too hard in my opinion for a peanut butter cookie. Generally I think "soft baked" texture with pb cookies. This one was hard and crunchy. Not bad, but just threw me off a bit. Stop in, try out their food. You won't be disappointed. Took all the will power to not get this awesome looking raspberry bomb/dome tart.. Next time. Staff is awesome as well. Always Thankful for patience when I'm choosing out pastry at a bakery because it's a tough decision to make that takes time!

I came back to Sin on a Thursday afternoon. The display case had fall pastries like a Pumpkin…read moreMousse Bombe ($10.00) and it looked marvelous. It was very smooth and creamy, simply delicious. The outside shell and the pumpkin inside was packed with flavor. I also really enjoy the graham cracker base. My husband had the yodel ($4.00), a chocolate cake rolled with a buttercream filling and covered with chocolate and sprinkles. He enjoyed his pastry as well. Later that day, I saw Sin posted on their instagram that they were unfortunately closing the retail storefront and going back to focusing on custom cakes and speciality dessert orders. The last day the bakery will be open is Sunday, September 21st. I was so glad I was able to stop by before they closed.

I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

The cannolis were spot on. The shells were crunchy and the filling flavorful and the perfect amount of sweetness. In fact I enjoyed them more than Regular cannolis.

We were so excited to hear they made cakes for order and knew we needed to get one for my birthday. It was an excellent experience from start to finish- quick turnaround, great price for a quality product, and of course, delicious flavors. We will most definitely keep reaching out to Parvin from Okai Sweets for all future cake-related events!
