Angel Food Bakery

Regressing back to childhood is a very good thing when you’re doing it at this café. Pastry chef Stephanie Samuels bakes the kind of desserts you used to find in your lunch box (Twinkies, Thin Mints and superb cream-filled cupcakes) with one major difference: They’re made fresh and preservative-free, so you can share them with your kids without guilt. The corner sidewalk patio adds some welcome extra seating, but the busy intersection requires close attention to toddlers. While parents pay the bill, kids can check out the collection of old Easy Bake Ovens.
