My kids loved the cookies and the cruffin. Adults got the cinnamon buns - which was great to have one without the icing and it was still decadent! Service was friendly and personable.

I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

My son and I picked up a variety of pastries to take with us. We really would have loved one of the refrigerated tortes, but we would not be going home immediately and I was concerned about that being with us on a hot July day. We'll just have to come back and try it next time. This is a very clean and organized little shop that has been around for awhile. I love these classic locally owned gems that you just don't see as much as you should. I love their unique pineapple/walnut Linzer torte. Quite tasty. Of course we tried the apple and the more traditional raspberry hazelnut too. My favorite thing we tried was hands-down the lemon bar. That buttery texture complements the tartness of the lemon perfectly. Well done, Farkas family. Can't wait til our next visit!

But my eyes diverted to the deli counter, where heavyweight subs were being assembled. With nearly a pound of meat (over a dozen choices/combos) on fresh crusty Italian rolls for a mere $9.99, I had to have one, and Wow! So delicious. If I lived in the neighborhood, these subs would be devoured weekly. Puts Subway to shame. And, for good measure, I grabbed a huge slice of focaccia pizza for only 3 bucks. Bravo, Fragapane's!

We went there today for the first time. It's a small place with a few tables and comfortable chairs to sit and relax with a cup of Rising Star coffee. A single counter at the back of the room clearly displays the days offerings. I couldn't help but try their stuffed grape leaves, zucchini balls, and rice pudding. All of it looked marvelous. Can't wait to get home to try it all. The owner, a very pleasant and helpful woman, explained everything to us without hesitation as we asked question after question. If you long for Greek bakery, or just any bakery, give them a look-see. FYI... update: I just had everything I purchased for dinner. It was FANTASTIC!!! I'm definitely going back.

The staff are very friendly and help create a homey atmosphere. It was hard to choose what to eat, as the menu items all looked amazing, but I went with the pork schnitzel with paprikas sauce, two eggs, home fries, and toast and a side of smoked Slovenian sausage. I wanted to try the crêpes, but was too full. The portions are hearty and very reasonably priced. Everything was delicious. The pork schnitzel was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The paprikas sauce was a nice accompaniment. The home fries are homemade and come fried on the griddle so the outside is crispy and the inside light and fluffy. The coffee was delicious. Very rich, mellow flavor. I'll definitely be back. Those European pastries beckon!
