I guess we could call this a bakery, but it looks more like a café that serves different drinks, bubble teas, and some baked goods. And while Emily, the owner, is Thai, this isn't limited to Thai items, either--it's offerings are international. The space inside is limited. It looks like most people buy their items to go. This is a specialized bakery that makes international versions of desserts, and you are going to love each and every one of them--I promise. This unassuming little business is unique to the area, as far as I can tell, and it's a true delight. It offers versions of cakes that are different, delicious, and not overly sweet. For years I've read articles about the pleasures of Japanese cheesecake, and how different it is compared to our heavy New York cheesecake. The Japanese cheesecake has a wonderfully fluffy texture and a smooth, creamy taste. The Basque cheesecake with a strawberry coulis has an unusual texture, remaining both firm and caramelized on the outside and custard-like inside. I'm very fond of the coconut cake, which is not like any coconut cake you may be familiar with. It's got a moist but fluffy cake layer topped with a creamy "frosting," probably made from coconut cream, with strips of fresh coconut. Unlike most traditional American desserts, it's not too sweet, and it's absolutely satisfying. Emily, the owner, will explain the ingredients, if you ask, and the baking methods--long baking times at low temperatures, water baths, etc. She doesn't use flour as a thickener in her cheesecakes, for example. You discern very quickly she knows what she's doing. She's a pro. The options in the glass display case may be few compared to a large-scale bakery, but what is available is high quality and delightful. If you're a gourmand or a Foodie or are even slightly adventurous in your tastes, you are going to love Bake Me House. Enjoy! read more
