The carrot cake and banana crème are my hands down favorites, but the lemon cake is very closely behind. Even items like scones that aren't typically amongst my favorites, are made very well.

Pastiche Fine Desserts has long been one of our favorite spots for dessert in Providence, with…read moreconsistently beautiful displays of cakes, pastries, and baked goods that usually taste as good as they look. The service was fast even though the store was busy. The interior looked clean with cute, with coffee shop decor. We recently stopped in and each ordered a slice of carrot cake that looked absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, this time neither of us enjoyed it. The cake didn't have the freshness or flavor balance we've come to expect from Pastiche, and it was disappointing given how consistently positive our past experiences have been there. That said, this is genuinely the first bad experience we've had at Pastiche after many visits, and we'd still return in the future based on their strong track record overall.

Scialo Bros Bakery is an Italian style bakery in the Federal Hill section of Providence. I've been…read morea few times over the years, most recently last weekend. They sell fresh filled cannolis, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. The small shop has a classic feel. On this visit, I just bought a box of cannolis. They had an option of a traditional filling, or with chocolate chips. They also had options for capping the ends. I chose chocolate chips for the chocolate chip filling, and pistachio for the traditional filling. I tried the traditional with pistachio. The shell is lighter than most of the places where I've bought cannolis. The filling was mildly sweet, very smooth and had a very slight fruit flavor. Perhaps from orange zest? In my experience, Scialo Bros is a cool place to visit and has good treats.

It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

The snow made street parking a bit tricky, but thankfully there are a few parking spaces in the back of the building. Once inside, the bakery was lively and smelled absolutely delicious. There was a great selection of fresh artisan breads to choose from. I ended up with the durum loaf, which was perfect since I planned to make an olive oil dipping sauce. The bread was exactly what I hoped for crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, airy with a mix of large and small holes, and full of flavor. I also couldn't resist picking up two Valentine heart sugar cookies with jam because they were just too cute. The only minor downside was that the employee who helped me wasn't very smiley. Not rude at all, and my order was handled quickly, but it felt a bit different from the warm cafe vibe you might expect. Prices are higher than if you went to a mom and pop bakery but this was expected. Overall, a great stop for quality bread.

Once we entered the business, we were greeted by a young lady behind the counter. She gave us "I don't want to help you" kinda vibes. She had no words to say to us other than "hi" and the total amount we owed. Once we ordered, the girl was far more engaged with the gentleman that came in after us. I ordered a hotcoco and a few desserts. And the girl seemed really bothered when I inquired about the types of milks they offered. I ordered a hot coco with almond milk. When it was ready, the girl put my drink on the counter, gave us a face and walked away. I am giving this business four stars, because the desserts we ordered were very good. But the service, could be way better than this, very disappointing.

It's a small pop-up style bakery with a cozy feel, perfect for grabbing pastries and a good coffee to start your morning or treat yourself mid-day.

That's saying a lot because I have sampled many, many croissants. The Yum roll was melt-in-your- mouth delicious with the perfect balance of sweet with a hint of salt, crunchy around the edges and topped with a delightful creamy drizzle of caramel. The plain croissants were perfectly fluffy and flaky. The almond square was pure heaven with a deep almond flavored frangipane surrounded by crunchy layers. The bakery itself is really cute. You can get a chance to meet the owner and gaze upon the glorious bounty of pastries available. You do have to subscribe to order so check out the Butterbang instagram.
