"If Italian bakeries were an essential part of your childhood, you’ll get an instant nostalgia-induced serotonin boost from walking into Regina. There’s nowhere to sit, but the entire interior smells like cookies, so you’ll want to linger anyway. Come here for rainbow cookies, sfogliatelle, lobster tails, and every other Italian bakery staple imaginable. They also have a great selection of seasonal baked goods, from iced cookies to highly pigmented buttercream-frosted cupcakes." - carina finn koeppicus
