Manan Bakery is one of those hidden gems. \n\nI had seen it before, but hadn't really registered that it was more than a cake shop. \n\nMy fella and I decided to stop up for breakfast one morning this weekend, and I was really impressed.\nThey were missing a handful of items, namely, the Armenian meat pie that I desperately wanted to try...they weren't quite ready when we got there.  Had we not been in a hurry, we would have waited and tried one.  Next time.  Even with a few things not being ready though, they had a huge selection of cakes, cupcakes, mousse, biscotti, and more.\n\nI chose a Nutella cake (of course I did.) with chocolate covered hazelnuts on top.  My fella tried the baklava and a small pastry with apricot inside.  \n\nWe also got a couple coffees:  I got a free cappuccino (with Yelp check in: one time only) which was tasty, considering it comes from one of those machines that does several coffee drinks in one.  My fella got a Mediterranean medium roast coffee.  The guy who helped us described it as Mediterranean espresso.  It was VERY strong, but delicious.  We put one creamer and a couple sugar packets in it to mellow it out a little bit, and enjoyed it. \n\nSo...the food was delicious.  Its so hard to find good baklava in town, and Manan has GOOD baklava.  They have several different varieties, so I can't wait to try the others. The Nutella cake was light, sweet, and airy.  It was really delicious.  \nThe smaller pastry that we got was good too.  Flaky crust, and sweet fruit spread inside. \n\nEveryone was very nice, and we were able to sit outside at a little table to enjoy the cool air, before it turned into a ridiculously hot day.  \n\nI like this bakery. \nI like supporting local shops, especially when they have a quality product.  Next time, I'm trying the cheesecake, and plan to buy a loaf or two of their fresh bread!\n\nUntil next time, Manan!
