Apricot coffee cake - To-go!



Absolutely delicious fruity cake. Nice balance of cake, fruit, sweet crumbly topping and powdered sugar dusting. And no, that is not an egg yolk, but an apricot half topping the slice. Subtle almond flavor infused in the crust. I want more!

Yummmy Factor: 5/5

Yummmy Rambles: Once again, treats were impressive to the eyes and tongue. Apricot cake was $3.50, but similar apple coffee cake was $6.00 – maybe because the detail with the apple slices was more intricate. Cappuccino was flavorful, strong, and rich. Place was surprisingly empty on a Sunday afternoon (11:30 am), maybe due to more “posh” location in Little Italy.

More yummmy treats for your viewing pleasure
