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.

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.

I later found out it was actually grub hub by a text message and I contacted them. Insomnia cookies had the original charge cancelled and remade and delivered my order. I believe the original Order was located and redelivered or dropped off by the person they were mistakenly sent to as Several boxes arrived with my name on them. The cookies were moist, warm, and everyone raved about them! It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to an excellent nurse. A huge thank you to the staff at insomnia cookies for assisting with and rectifying a second party delivery issue (from now on we will exclusively use delivery from you only). My apologies for ordering through a second party delivery service and our deepest gratitude for your kindness. Bless you!!

Our server was great! He was attentive and personable, which made all the difference. On the drinks side, I had a craft beer draft of Star Light, a collaboration brew between Trillium and Equilibrium. Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend if it's on tap or you can find it. For food, we went with the Korean Chicken Sando, which was excellent, and caught a half-priced Steak Skewers appetizer that was a perfectly cooked medium-rare and honestly fantastic. A great deal on top of a great dish. Glad we gave The Red Door another shot. This visit showed the real potential of the place. Will definitely be back.

The coupon at Cakelicious was for 1 cupcake. There were a few options to choose from. I chose the fruity pebbles cupcake. The cupcake was light, soft, and moist and the icing wasn't overly sweet. However, the fruity pebbles on top were a little stale. My husband had the passionfruit cupcake and he enjoyed it. Cakelicious also sells hot food. Though we didn't try it this time, it did look good and I would want to try it next time. There are a few tables inside and we were the only ones at the store.

There are tables and benches in the complex nearby. While the vibe was relaxed/nice, I just picked things out from the fridge to-go. A small note: I'm kind of pretty picky about baked sweets. Along with ice cream, they have cakes and cookies, and milk of the chocolate or coffee variety. I got a cow cake (no photo since I forgot), Valentine's Day cookie, and coffee milk to take home. The cow cake was good! Not too sweet, but could maybe could taste a little more chocolate. It had a creamy taste to it. The Valentine's Day cookie was really, really pretty and is more of a treat for the eyes. It's a sugar cookie, so yeah it's sweet, and was mostly buttercream (I believe it was buttercream but correct me if I'm wrong) than cookie. The coffee milk was pretty sweet, but yummy, which is surprising because I don't like coffee milk that much (sorry RI). But I would get Wright's coffee milk again. The pricing was roughly $7 for a cake slice (a box of cake really), $5 for cookie, $2 for coffee milk. I thought it was fair pricing! Overall, it's really nice having a creamery here and I would recommend coming here if you're looking to treat yourself or needing cake and/or ice cream!
