While driving through the back routes in PA, came across this very cute little bakery ad decided to give it a try as I needed some sugar for another four hours of driving.
The place is in a small strip mall, next to a gas station and a pizza place and had a board outside advertising their lunch. Walking in I was drawn to the setting of the place as it is very welcoming, minimal display and a decent sitting area. The lady at the counter recommended everything on the menu, but when I told her I was looking for something very sweet, she guided me to "The Persian", which is a donut filled with creme and other goodies and to the "Salted Caramel Bar", which was the largest brownie I had seen. For extra measures I went ahead and bought a White Cupcake as well and started my adventure by finishing that one first. The White was very well made, light to the eating and wasn't too sweet either. The real treat however was the Salted Caramel Bar as just after one bite, I was a full convert to becoming their fan right there and then.
Not only is it huge, but there is plenty of very sweet and amazing caramel inside which oozes out as you eat through it. After discovering my new love interest in the brownie, I stood up to go meet the owner of the bakery. She shared that she and her sister had started this place and it was still relatively new. I complimented them for their artistry and asked them to be on Yelp, as that is the only place I get my recommendations.
I drove home after buying another bar and kept it in the trunk so I do not have easy access to it.
This place is far from me, but I will find any excuse to drive to that area to pick some of those brownies and The Persian.
Well done ladies, you have a fan in Connecticut! read more
