I launched into my own personal Veruca Salt moment as I couldn't leave until my bag (okay, bags) were completely stuffed.
My torta paled in comparison, as anything would after my dessert first course. However the bread roll it was on? Incredible. If you're in the mood for some mind blowing baked goods, don't miss this wonderful little shop. read more
