Taunton Avenue Bakery’s large glass

mesmerizing and abstract creations
— the key difference being that you

(once purchased, of course!).
Glorious goodies include flaky apple
turnovers, custard tartlets, assorted
macarons, decadent peanut butter
fudge brownies, cupcakes and
loaded slices of Portuguese layered
coffee cake. Regulars are distinguish-
able by their easy and lighthearted
banter with the staff and by their
ability to order without a moment’s
hesitation, whether it is a simple
sweet treat to-go or a specialty cake
for a later occasion.

WHAT TO EAT: To make the visit
extra worthwhile, try one of the
bakery’s authentic pasteis de nata
(a.k.a. Portuguese custard tartlets).
WHO TO BRING: Who says you need
a buddy? There’s no shame in treating
yourself every once in a while.
WHAT TO WEAR: It’s nigh impossible
to leave with just one treat in tow,
so wear something that has a bit of
wiggle room. (You can thank us later!)
THE DRINK SITUATION: Taunton
Avenue Bakery’s coffee game
is strong. We recommend a classic
cappuccino.
INSIDER’S TIP: Ask the staff for
recommendations; they know their
goodies well!
