It was decadent, had great texture and great strawberry flavor. - Their midnight banana bread was also delicious, with a subtle banana flavor coming through and pairing very nicely with the rich chocolate flavor. - The corn Oreo was a very interesting rendition of the classic treat and honestly worked pretty well. When I went, there was no line since they had just opened and the service moved efficiently through their small store. While there is no room inside to eat, there is a park nearby where you can grab a seat and enjoy their delicious baked goods.

I've been following Red Gate Bakery for a while now, hoping to try one of their weekly rotating…read moreselection of cinnamon rolls. I went for the first time today, but since I was planning on walking home before trying the pastries (there is no seating at the bakery), and since it was a fairly warm day, I thought it might melt by the time I got home, so I ended up getting some smaller, more compact treats. Brown Butter Blondie: Personally, I didn't need the walnuts, but the texture and flavor of this were excellent -- it's gooey and chewy and tastes of rich brown butter / butterscotch. Choco-toffee cookies: This cookie sits squarely at the top of some NYC chocolate chip cookie rankings, so the expectations were high. I thought it was very good, but it doesn't quite top my personal list. The best parts are the crunchy exterior, which has a slightly over-baked, crisp flavor, along with the light dusting of salt flakes on top. The middle is more doughy but mostly consists of medium-dark chocolate chunks. I didn't really taste the toffee, which was too bad, because I love toffee. Malty lime bar: A key lime pie in bar form, this is a next-level pastry. The lime 'custard' is thick and creamy, and perfectly tart, with just enough sweetness to add balance. The graham cracker crust is buttery and lightly salty, and the sugary zest sprinkled on top makes it pretty and grounds the flavor a bit. I was here on a Saturday around noon and waited in line for about 5-7 minutes. Not bad at all!

Spirals is putting a little twist (pun intended) on their cinnamon rolls offering flavors you wouldn't normally see. We of course had to try their Original Cinnamon Roll which was very well-done. It has a soft interior, slightly crisp exterior, beautiful cinnamon-caramel glaze on the exterior layer with a delicious vanilla bean cream cheese frosting that I could've eaten by the spoonful. I'm a sucker for bananas and found the Banana Pudding Roll to be spot on. Great flavor but the banana filling ended up being slightly too sweet and I would've loved real banana pieces inside instead. The Mango Sticky Rice Roll was truly the highlight. I'm definitely the first person in my bloodline to have such a creation lol. It was a great take on mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was delicious with the coconut sauce and fresh mangos. I wish it had more fresh mangos honestly. The mango jam filling was a nice touch instead considering there were only 3 small slices of fresh mango. I wish they had better packaging, particularly boxes that accommodate more than 1 roll. Worth a try!

I tried 5 of the flavors and honestly, I enjoyed them all but white chocolate lava took the number one spot for me. If you have a sweet tooth, this is a spot you should absolutely try. The cookies were fresh, flavorful, and made for a really enjoyable treat. Quick note: if you're aren't a fan of doughy cookies I don't think you'll be a fan of these. Personally I like a crunchier cookie but still enjoyed these. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily come back for more.

We had a double chocolate muffin, a slice of chocolate banana bread, a blueberry scone, and a blueberry crumb muffin. I'd recommend any of them!
