These guys do cakes and cookies... quiche and bread... a range of meat pies.... and (most importantly) it is all great value and delicious. The last time I came here I grabbed the baked cheesecake and a mac. The cheesecake was awesome. Best part was that as a single tart like serve, it was not too small or too large to munch through contentedly. The mac had too much froth for my liking, but once removed, the remainder of the mac was great. Only annoyance is that when removing some of the froth I lost some of the crema and coffee oil... So if you desire good coffee and cake and don't feel like paying $5+ for something sweet, then this place is for you.

They make perfect presents and are devilishly delicious to boot. For the rest of the year you can go to Bertrand's for your cake or macaroon fix. In fact everything he bakes is scrumptious - so much so that I often have to stride purposefully past in case I get lured inside by the promise of a cupcake or one of those mouthwatering macaroons. My only wish for this cafe is a makeover! I would love to see the place redesigned to make MUCH better use of the space and create a pleasant place to actually sit in and enjoy your coffee and cake. It's a crying shame, considering all the competition for cafes in the area, that Bertrand's just doesn't cut it in this regard. Because as far as the cakes (and those gingerbread Christmas trees!) are concerned, Bertrand's is the best.

When not buying almond croissants I love to pick up a crust loaf of Italian bread (perfect as a side for wintry stew). They best (and worst) part of this bakery is the first come, first serve attitude.

Curious I decided to turn and drive into the suburban street where there are 6 shops next to each other. Besides the butcher the bakery was the only shop open. Walking in the aroma of fresh baked bread and other goodies filled the air. A couple of shelves of bread and a table with various baked goods from muffins and croissants to Almond horseshoes and pastries. I love pretzels (and they make a couple of styles) and most of the ones I see at the mall are either hard and dried, out or greasy and buttery. These pretzels on the other hand were fresh and baked with just enough sea salt to give it a little bit of flavor. This also seems to be the local spot for coffee. In the back they sold a number of German goodies, which added to the authenticity of the place.

On closer inspection... it was closed... :-( So looking around to what the options were I noticed that the local bakery, which on a side note seemed quite busy for a Sunday morning, had a sign showing they had Romanza coffee available. Having never have heard of this brand I figured that while this place was not necessarily a cafe, it was only missing the tables. The first thing I needed to do was avoid munching on the available sweets. While very tempting, I figured at some point I might want to snack on a cake somewhere else, so I just went with the coffee. It was disappointing straight away to see the woman making the coffee reach for the paper specimen cup, but the result was a fair decent cup of coffee. The crema was decent, and it was not over espressed. Nice effort. So if you get the desire for a caffeine hit and you are in the area, this place could be a lifesaver ... :-) Cafe Summary ------------------------ Passion for Coffee - 6/10 Coffee beans - Romanza Crema (1=burnt, 10=velvet) - 6/10 Special coffees avail? - N/A
