Posted by Edmund in Bakeries & Sweets, Boston, Featured Articles

Cuisine: Italian Baked Goods. Specialty: Cannoli. Location: 134 Salem Street, Boston, MA. I’ve finally arrived at the last stop on my cannoli tasting tour through the North End in Boston: Bova’s Bakery. I would love to say that I saved the best for last, but that unfortunately is not the case here. Bova’s is one of those...

Posted by Edmund in Bakeries & Sweets, Washington, DC

Cuisine: American Baked Goods. Specialties: Brownies, Cookies, Bread. Location: All throughout DC and Virginia. My store is at 1909 Q. Street, NW, Washington DC 20009. Price: $1.45 for cookies, $2.50 for brownies. Best Value in Town, Best Brownie in Town. I see very few traditional bakeries these days, especially in the DC area. At...

Georgetown Cupcake

3301 M St NW, Washington, DC. $3 for a cupcake. It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of cupcakes. To me, cupcakes are just a fad—an excuse for innumerable little bakeries to charge exorbitant prices for mini-cakes that are both small in size and flavor. But every once in a while, a very special shop will come along, where...

Deluscious Cookies and Milk

Deluscious Cookies and Milk $38.95 for a dozen classic cookies. $1 extra for each “couture” cookie. 829 North Highland Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90038 www.delusciouscookies.com Before returning home for the holidays, I had promised to find my...

Patisserie Poupon: Cakes and Chocolate

Best Bakery in DC. 1645 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20007. I was really craving a true French-style pastry the other day—something like a croissant or a mini-tart/cake. Unfortunately, while the Georgetown area is a phenomenal area for baked goods, those treats mostly fall into the typical range of American...

Baked and Wired: Brownies and Cookies

1052 Thomas Jefferson Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20007-3813. If you’re in the Georgetown area, and you haven’t heard about Baked and Wired, the little bohemian coffee shop/bakery just off of M Street, you’re missing out. Baked and Wired is probably the coolest, hippest bakery in the area, catering largely to a younger...

Furin’s of Georgetown

2805 M Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20007-3712. If there’s one thing you can find in the Georgetown area of DC, it’s a decent bakery. And among those bakeries, there’s none more historic than Furin’s, a community staple that’s been around for over 26 years! During that whole time, moreover, it’s always been run by...

Kiss My Bundt Bakery

Kiss my Bundt Bakery 8104 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048 A few days ago, I decided to go on a “sweet run” throughout Los Angeles—that is, a mini-tour through some of the best bakeries in town. Having gone to Auntie Em’s earlier that day, I had been left with somewhat of a bad taste in my mouth, especially regarding...

Susina Bakery

Susina Bakery 7122 Beverly Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90036 It should be apparent by now that I have quite the sweet tooth. So I was just looking for an excuse to check out Susina Bakery, one of the finest bakeries/coffee houses in town. That excuse came last Sunday, when I decided to go out with some friends to Susina for the weekly...

Joan’s on Third

Joan’s on Third 8350 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048 I was on Melrose the other day and decided to stop by Joan’s on Third, another café/patisserie, on my way back home. LA is just full of great little spots like Joan’s to have some breakfast or lunch or to grab a sweet. Of course, I’m not really concerned with...
