"When you walk by Otway Bakery on a chilly morning, the heat of freshly baked pastries fog up the windows like they’re trying to keep a secret. Inside, the smell of butter and cardamom hit you instantly. It’s large and airy, but there’s nowhere to sit—every square inch of this place is busy churning out excellent baked goods, like a sticky cardamom bun, and a plain croissant that tastes like it went to Oberlin, started wearing birkenstocks with socks, and became crunchy. If you need a seat (and a plate to catch the crumbs), is down the street, and open for brunch daily. They don’t have all the baked goods, but they do have the greatest hits, including the cardamom bun, which you can pair with a fried chicken sandwich, and a Bloody Mary." - Willa Moore
