Desserts
It is going to be difficult, but try to save room for dessert.
Baking is done on the premises every day and their showcase of cakes and pies is something that has to be seen.
There are also ice cream dishes, puddings and milk shakes for the kids (that includes kids of ALL ages) while the older folks relax with an espresso, cappuccino, latte or other flavored coffee.
