I don't know about all of you, but to me the wooden spoon meant a big bad spanking right on my tush! We no longer practice corporal punishment in my house, but I was pretty sure the wooden spoon was not just a dirty word for me growing up, but for thousands of children with mental scars of that darned spoon splintering as it hit their bum.... so when I saw a little shop off of 32nd in the Highlands by that name, I was intrigued. Upon entering the cozy place, I was immediately put at ease, they were certainly not selling spankings, but were in fact a coffee shop and bakery. We ordered our coffees, and spent about five minutes deciding on which pastry to have (there were so many yummy choices). Some of you may know that I worked in a bakery for about a year, and while I retained more than my fair share of calories, I also retained a little knowledge. I'm certainly not an expert, but I know my pastries pretty well, and knew immediately that these were the kind worth savoring. Anyway, I chose a pecan sticky bun and my usual americano to drink. Kent (the huz) chose a decaf latte (don't even get me started on the decaf thing) and a chocolate croissant. All of the pastries are made fresh in the bakery, and the shop is open so you can watch, which is always a mouth-watering experience. They also seemed to know their way around an espresso machine, although their choice of coffee didn't sync with mine (Coda Coffee: good sales team, not so good roasting team). My americano was fair, and Kent was disappointed with the latte, however, the pastries were delicious! So, I will give this coffee shop a 6.5 overall, a little lower than I would like because their pastries are so good, but after all, I am a coffee lover, and need to get over the sweet tooth! Check it out, and don't be scared, your tush is safe.
