Delights at Corina Cake Bakery

0 0

After a swift day at work last Friday, Sarah and I had some viddles with Angela and Steve at Meconi's then headed up the hill for dessert. The girls had their sights set on a little shop we'd yet to sample. Corina Bakery sits on the 6th Ave. hill between Tacoma Ave. and Fawcett, just around the corner from the Grand Cinema. The small spot lends nicely to this family run business of sweet treats. The place seemed to have steady business in a town that mostly shuts down after 5pm. The service by the owners/operators was swift and we each went away with a grocery bag full of things we wanted to sample from their display case.

Once back at Angela and Steve's we dug in. I snagged a cappucino chocolate bar and a piece of berry cheesecake. The bar was soft yet slightly flaky on the outside and was a generous size. Its flavor was a good balance between the chocolate and coffee since neither jumped out to bother me. My fav had to be the cheesecake. It was soft, had a very fresh berry taste but wasn't too heavy or sweet. I used to eat me a lot of cheesecake and, brother, this is the best I've ever had.

Everyone else had cupcakes, cake, and I'm not sure what else. The only complaint I heard was from the chocolate cake but they couldn't pin down the reason it wasn't sitting right.

Check the place out and read more about the owners tale here and here. I absolutely recommend Corina Bakery for the flavors, generous portions, and friendly faces. It's a lovely addition to what's soon going to be another great part of town.
