, avocado and sour cream garnish sides. They have the most amazing carrot cake, and frosted lemon poppyseed muffins. It’s not a huge place so getting there soon after they open is a good idea if you don’t like to wait...

Wow, we were exactly on the same page; Birchat ha’chama was my theme as well, but I did all homemade stuff. I made lemon cupcakes frosted with yellow frosting, and put little triangles of fruit leather so it looked like the...

Angel food and sponge cakes don’t keep well; they start going stale within a short time. A basic butter cake is a good idea, as are its heavier cousins, such as pound cake and carrot cake. These also pair well with the...

—sponge cakes w/ fruit, custard, whatever you want and whipped cream frosting. Haven’t tried them yet. Famous for Hopia I had to try one. They have many flavors of these mooncakes. I asked the most popular are:...

I think that lemon or lime goes w/ a variety of tails. I’m envisioning lemon cupcakes w/ a thin layer of cream cheese frosting topped w/ one lemondrop (the hard candy) for cutesy factor. Off-topic, but do you go to the same...

and into the cream-cheese frosting. It was a dense, heavy cupcake (which I like). Yes, you better like coconut a lot. If you do, this is the dessert for you. I could only eat 1/2 of it. Lunch, a turkey and avocado sandwich, seemed...

cookie topped with white frosting. The soup of the day was chicken gumbo ($2.75). The most expensive dish on the menu which soared in price compared to the rest was the $7 artichoke frittata, salad and bread. Also available were...
