Any bakery with pastries good enough to make me want to wake up in time for their early morning opening to have first pick is a five star place in my book! I visited Stork's Bakery for the first time on Saturday afternoon and was very impressed with everything I got.
My family was craving pie, so I ordered a slice of their chocolate cream, coconut cream, and storkberry pies to bring home, along with a lemon white chocolate tart. All three of the pies were delicious. The chocolate one had a really rich cocoa flavor and was not too sweet. The coconut pie was surprisingly light, and I loved the toasted coconut topping. At first, I was a bit worried that the storkberry might end up being too sweet given the berry blend, but it was delightfully tart and so tasty. It's the kind of pie that would be perfect warmed up with some vanilla ice cream. The crust on all of the pies was so good, I really loved the texture and the subtle flavor from the oats. The lemon tart was also very good, it was rich and creamy with a nice strong lemon flavor. An entire one might've been a lot for me, but splitting it was perfect.
In addition to the pastries, I also ordered an iced chai with oat milk. I absolutely love chai, but often find myself disappointed with the overpowering cinnamon milk most coffee joints down here put out. That was not the case at Stork's! The drink was not overly sweet, so I could still taste the tea. It had a pleasant spice blend, and I could really taste the cardamom. They make a solid chai - I would definitely order this again! They had a bunch of other teas listed on the menu too, so plenty of options for non-coffee drinkers.
I think my only gripe about the experience was that it took a long time for them to box up our pies. Not sure why - maybe the lady helping us was new? Aside from that though, the staff were all very attentive and nice, and made sure to check with the kitchen about the allergen questions I had. The space had a surprising amount of parking for the Wilton Manors area, and the shop offered plenty of seating (including a really cute covered outdoor area).
I still have to try their danishes, cakes, and sandwiches, so you can bet I'll be back soon!
