This is not a place where you choose the size of your beverage, but it will come in a lovely vessel. I really enjoyed my chai, blended in house. They have an herbal blend, but you can ask for black tea to be added. I also really liked this lightly sweetened chick pea chocolate chip cookie, which went perfectly with my tea. They have several vegan and gluten free food and drink options. My daughter had the hot cocoa and fruit parfait. She gave it an 8.5, because, she wanted the cocoa to be "more chocolaty" and the parfait to have less jam and for it to be served in an easier to access container. The parfait was served in a narrow mason jar, which made for a pretty presentation, but also made the goodness hard to reach. I asked her whether she would order the same items if nothing changed and she said yes. The folks who run the place are fantastic!

A friend who misses The Bread Butler, maybe even more than I, told me that there was an excellent…read moresourdough bread being baked by Anicca Bakery in Troy, NY and sold at the Honest Weight Co-op. I was at the Co-op the next day. A variety of their breads are located in a shelf display across the aisle from all the other breads. I saw sandwich rolls, French baguettes, plain sourdough, three seeds sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, plain challah, everything topped challah, and a couple of variations that I don't recall. Some of the loaves are also available in half-loaf sizes. I purchased a loaf of 3 Seed Sourdough ($8.69) and a loaf of Everything topped Challah ($7.29). Both are excellent in their own right. The 3 seeds on the sourdough are organic dry roasted pumpkin, organic dry roasted sunflower, and organic golden flax seeds. Anicca makes a point of stating that they make every attempt to obtain all their ingredients within 200 miles of the Troy bakery. The sourdough has a nice chewy crust and a decent sour flavor. The challah has a softer crust than the sourdough, just a bit of sweetness and a slightly lighter colored crumb. The challah is also double bagged for some reason. The loaf is placed in a plastic bag before it is placed in the outer paper bag. Maybe that was to protect the everything topping? If you visit their web page https://aniccabakery.com/ you will learn that you can order online and pickup your order at Alias Coffee Shop in Troy. You may also notice that their web page does not mention all the varieties of bread that I saw at the Co-op and shows a more limited production schedule. Maybe their web page is just not up to date. Another issue I ran into was knowing whether the bread was fresh. Glancing at the information on the label of my two choices, I saw that the sourdough was labeled as "Date Baked on10/29/25" (GREAT! That was today), while the challah was labeled as "Date Baked 10/30/25." WAIT!!! How can that be? 10/30/25 is not until TOMORROW!!! I checked several other packages and found that all the packages of challah were labeled with tomorrow's date. As an aside, does that mean I wouldn't be able to eat the challah until tomorrow? LOL Or better yet, if I eat it today does that mean the carbs don't exist yet? Still, LOL. In any event, a Co-op employee noticed my confusion and insisted on informing management while wondering if this meant the sourdough could have actually been sitting on the shelf since 10/28/25. Today or not, but probably tomorrow also, both breads were excellent. I'm looking forward to trying a whole wheat sourdough.

I was tasked with getting some tasty baked goods for the family. After getting stymied not once, but twice (both bakeries were closed this particular Monday due to the holiday), I resigned myself to stop at The Desert Tray and see what they had, provided they were open. They were and I am all the better for it. It's a shop with a smaller selection of baked goods than you'd see at your average italian bakery, but the ones I sampled were delectable. I ordered a few scones, a couple of cookies, two eclairs, and two lemon bars. I'm not a scone or lemon bar person, but we had relatives over and I figured they'd like those. I had my eye on the eclair. Correction, I wasn't a scone or lemon bar guy, but Tracy made me a convert. While not your traditional scone, these were delicious: moist and filled with fruit and one was cinnamon. Oh, but the eclair trumped the scone. The owner's father was explaining how she makes them. Again, a spin on a traditional eclair, with Belgian chocolate and french vanilla in the creme. I'm ruined on traditional eclairs now. Kudos to Tracey on a fresh (and delicious) spin on some classics.
