I recently drove by Panaderia Pan Del Sinai on Franklin Avenue and made a mental bookmark. This…read moreweek, I returned to check it out. Panaderia is a Spanish word for Bakery. PPDS is small and there is no inside seating area. In addition to desserts and pastries, they serve empanadas and sandwiches including things like pernil, Cubanos, pastrami, tuna, steak, turkey and ham, egg and cheese. I ordered a beef empanada, tres Leches cake and guava pastry. The guava pastry was above average, had a nice guava filling, was topped with powdered sugar and had a nice texture. The tres Leches cake was good and huge. The empanada was decent. It looked great and the beef filling was pretty good. I could have used some vegetables in the filling for additional texture and color, but they may have had more choices earlier in the day. The texture of the empanada was decent. I imagine it was better when it was first done, but I chose it from the pre-made heated case. PPDS is worth checking out if you're near Franklin Ave. Four Stars.

While the pastries are classic and exactly what you'd expect from a high-caliber Italian bakery, the real gem is the Italian ice located in the cafe. Good lord, the flavors and quality are on a different level--this isn't that Rita's or DQ garbage. The chocolate and strawberry combination is specifically incredible, honestly better than Godiva chocolate-covered strawberries. It provides that deep, rich profile and authentic taste that defines their Itallian vibe. One professional tip for anyone stopping by: bring cash. The cafe doesn't accept cards, and you don't want to be the one standing there empty-handed when you're that close to the best Italian ice on the planet

When a salesperson calls a lead out of the blue, it's a "Cold Call". The first part of an SNL…read moreepisode is the "Cold Open". I think "Cold" in this context just means that it starts without a previous introduction. Today, I "Cold Visited" La Estrella when the bakery I planned to visit with my 8 year son wasn't open yet. I just did a quick Yelp search for bakery and La Estrella was the closest one. I'm glad I found it. La Estrella is a Portuguese Bakery. Our eyes went right to the Pastry case and as a result, I'm not sure I know everything they have to offer. The bakery wasn't crowded, but it felt vital and well-loved. We were welcomed and the service was very friendly and interactive. We ordered a custard, a cinnamon roll, a guava pastry, a creamed shrimp pastry and some Portuguese rolls. The custard was flaky like my favorite croissants and the filling was slightly warn, smooth and not overly sweet. My wife and I both liked it a lot. The guava pastry was very good and better than another I recently had in the area. I often think the guava filling comes from a jar, but I didn't think that today. My son said the cinnamon roll was a 9 out of 10, but could have used a touch more cinnamon. The creamy shrimp pastry was savory, delicious and light. I'm looking forward to using the rolls for sandwiches. I'll return again for the friendly service and great pastries and perhaps a new discovery or two.

As many bakery's in the area have at least 3-4 different options I only saw the one for this trip so my friends were limited on what they could have from the menu. The turkey bacon sandwich was layered with flavor and the bacon was a nice thick slice. The aioli complimented the turkey and cut back on the harshness of the arugula. The focaccia itself was tasty. The bread was airy, chewy, and perfectly golden brown. I did enjoy the latte I got because of how bold the coffee was. The beans were roasted perfectly and made the drink itself very smooth and robust. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone seemed very pleasant and the environment itself was very cool. I would definitely come here more often with friends and I would love to see more gluten-free options on the bakery layout

Especially fond of anything with milk bread as it's so fluffy. The cake we got was the basic/ classic one with strawberries. It was delicious! Not overly sweet, the whipped cream was light and fresh and of course the strawberries looked perfect. A pleasant surprise is how they box it up- looks luxurious and comes with a little disposable spatula accompanied with a couple matches and thin candles!!! Unexpected but perfect since of course we were not prepared with candles that my toddler insisted to blow out. Will return to try some of those amazing looking drinks and to try more baked goods!
