American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Bradford Allen a month ago

Really nice place overall. Easy to get a seat especially early in the evening. Food was outstanding! Service was really really good. Lee kept checking in at the right times and wasn't overly intrusive. She was perfect. Atmosphere was really comforting and relaxing. The table layout was not so close you felt intruded upon and really liked the lounge areas with sofas.

Stopped in tonight and had a great experience. Sabrina was our server and she gave beyond stellar service! Highly recommended you ask to be seated with her. We had the crab cakes and short rib. Food was good and the drinks were delicious! I also ordered the crème brûlée which wasn’t disappointing but I’ve had better. Overall great night. Can’t wait to come back and try different items on the menu…

Sweet Spot, Not a Hangout If your sweet tooth is calling, Crave Dessert Bar answers well. The desserts do their job — indulgent, satisfying, worth the craving. The hookah adds a nice touch but not up to the expectation and especially serving is slow paced. That said, the pricing feels a stretch for what you get. A solid stop for a sugar fix — just don’t come expecting a great hangout experience.

Tasty tiramisu and strawberry shortcake plus some good drinks. The restaurant also has a dress code politely requesting no hats to be worn. The service once you arrive is nice but they didn’t answer the phone when I was able to get past the “AI assistant” phone receptionist. Also note this bar is a hookah lounge with lots of smokers inside when I visited. Will unfortunately only be back very rarely since there’s no reprieve from the hookah users anywhere inside or outside.

I randomly found myself in Uptown and decided to check out Crave Dessert Bar after a nice dinner. The vibe inside was super cute and inviting, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I didn’t have a reservation and was on my own, so I just sat at the bar. I tried the crème brûlée, which was absolutely delicious, and also ordered a spirit-free hibiscus bellini. The mocktail was fine, though not the best I’ve had, but I appreciated the attention to presentation. The service was a bit slow, likely because it was a busy Saturday night, but that didn’t detract from the experience too much. I didn’t get my own hookah, but the people next to me had it and said it was really nice. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance - perfect for hanging out with friends, enjoying some drinks, and maybe a hookah session. I had a wonderful time and definitely plan to come back soon!
