Great. Another bake shop for me to invade.
I was visiting Stark next door, so I had to pass Lark anyway; figured I had no choice but to stop in.
Upon entering, this place is rather...empty. There was a table up front and the display is in the back, and it was very quiet, no music or conversation. One girl was working and she came over right away when she noticed a customer. I let her know this was my first time and she right away recommended the icebox cake that they were known for, which happened to be one of the items I was interested in. Between the gingersnap, berry, cold brew and the chocolate, I went with the chocolate but was briefly considering the berry. Adding in a vanilla cupcake, this came out to $9.
Cupcake was good; this is my default item when I try new bakeries and they passed the test. I asked her if the icing was buttercream and she said it was just whipped cream, but when I looked afterwards, the menu description said Italian buttercream...regardless, it was enjoyable!
I got to the icebox cake a couple days later after storing it in the fridge and This is what I've been waiting for. The layers of Oreo and cream was light and delicious, and the size is ideal for sharing, or in my case, saving the other half for another day.
Lark's locations are not convenient for me by any means, but that icebox is worth a trip if you are in the area. At $5, it was a perfect size, and well worth it. With the quality of the goods they had here, I can overlook the lack of decoration in the place; what they sell is what really shines here.
Looking forward to my next icebox cake with Lark!
