The gorgeous smell comes at you before you see the place. The sweet smell of pastries that you know will send you over the edge. I went here for the first time, right before Easter and it was packed. The amount of cakes, cookies and Easter Cake that was within one order was astounding.
I took a ticket and stood in line dutifully, while taking in the view of the desserts inside the glass case. Many of them I knew but some I had not seen before. 'Lulu's' for example, never heard of them - so I tried them. They look like an mini-ice cream cone filled with a sweetened fluffy cream. Oh so yummy!! It was soon my turn and I ordered as much as I could carry home on the subway. Pignoli cookies, biscotti, ricotta cookies, ricotta pie, cannolis and chocolate covered strawberries. It was a great Easter feast!
The next time I visited, I sat down and ordered it all over again with cappuccino and gelato. Holy crap - take it easy! Too good to be true. I will never go anywhere else again.
