Don't let the name fool you. There are two things that Zaro's does well. The first is their Babka. For those of you that aren't familiar with this, it is the cousin to the coffee cake. The wicked cousin that is, the wicked chocolate cousin. Seriously folks, the Babka is 2Lbs of buttery, sweet, chocolate goodness. It is the kind that will give you a sugar rush in about 1/2 a second. Yes, it needs to be shared. Makes a great addition to a boring morning meeting.
The second is a chocolate f... Continue reading ...

Pie, pie, pie! Pie is no longer for the holidays. Thanks to Hill Country Chicken we can have delicious homemade pie all year long! This is not just pie, it is really, really good pie.

Eric Girerd has done a wonderful job of locating L'atelier du chocolat discretely on 22nd st. Consider it no longer a secret. When you need that chocolate fix, you have found your haven! Be adventurous and try the Curry, it has a caramel taste while his Sel en Scene, smoked sea salt has hints of bacon... but it is not. This is the kind of chocolate you savor, let it melt in your mouth before you chew. http://bit.ly/9BSqXs Continue reading ...

The secret is out at City Bakery. Sure they have chocolate chip cookies, but their Toasted Coconut Cookie reigns above all cookies... that is if a cookie could reign. This delectable treat would pair nicely with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, to make your day that more special. If a cooking can't tempt you then try their pretzel croissant.http://bit.ly/c6M9Te Continue reading ...
