La Delice Pastry Shop is a small corner bakery at 27th and Third Avenue. It's been in business for nearly 80 years. I rarely get the chance to visit it since I'm not in this neighborhood very often. But it's always a delight to encounter it when I am in that area. The storefront always comes as a happy surprise to me, so perfect is it in its old-school stylings. And the windows, chock full of colorful sweets, are always worth a long, lingering gander. Take a look:
I used to live down the block from this bakery and I would always look at the window but I never stopped in. I see that #5 cupcake thing all the time and I always wondered what it was.
ReplyDeleteI don't like creamy, gooey cakes but well laid out pastries in glass display windows are sublime.
ReplyDeleteI travel overseas each year, ostensibly to look at the architecture, art, museums, railways stations, cathedrals etc. But really it is to eat afternoon tea in a coffee-pastry shop :)
They have a really great black and white cookie. It is unique: thin and crunchy and a little bit dry in a good way, very different from the doughy ones in most bakeries.
