"About 80% of the counter at Kensington’s Fiore is covered in Italian sweets like pistachio cornetti and torta della nonna that tastes more cookie-like than cake-esque. And the rest of the space is used to shell out warm pick-me-ups in cappuccino, Italian drinking chocolate, and chai latte form. It's a laidback spot for breakfast, although you’ll have to fight the urge to keep adding things while you’re paying. Or don’t fight it. The baked goods here are better than anything else on the menu—though their sandwiches (especially the B.E.C.) are fantastic, too." - candis mclean, alison kessler
