food - i went to the bakery near the end of business day yesterday to order to-go food, with german chocolate cake and some kind of streudel being the sweets of choice on my mind, with my main reason being that i'd read that the bakery has a strong german-american influence. nonetheless, at the time of ordering, the store had run out of german chocolate cake, so i decided to go with a chocolate bavarian cream cupcake instead, paired with an apple streudel available from the display case. while i'm less familiar with bavarian culinary traditions than german-american, the cupcake was quite tasty, and the favorite of my mom out of the two desserts, which we both tried. i'd say the apple streudel was my preference, with the pastry reminding me of a slightly more compact apple cobbler. that said, i did like the cupcake had tiny edible ball decor and bavarian cream filling in addition to frosted topping.
service - the counter worker who served me, cel, was attentive and knowledgeable in helping me navigate the menu options, including the availability of german chocolate cake, the cake flavor of the month, and different available varieties of streudel.
ambiance - although i ordered to-go, the restaurant seating atmosphere looked cozy, reminiscent in a sense of my favorite coffee shops, which is fitting because the bakery also serves several kinds of coffee and similar beverages. further, i like that the restaurant features a gift section, with birthday candles being my favorite of the items offered in that section because of the appropriateness to such a product at a store that sells cakes.
