Allan MarshallFebruary 4, 2017Announced days ago their last day business will be 2/28/17. :( Current owners have owned place since 1979, so I can see them retiring. Hope @last minute they find new buyer,so it doesn't close 4ever!

GourmetLiveAugust 15, 2011Get an almond horn, the cardamom–scented Andersonville coffee cake, a slice of princess torte bundled in green marzipan, or a sweet roll with fruit & streusel that puts the Swedish back into Danish.
Lots of pastries to choose from and good prices. Closed on Sunday.

Darth ZulOctober 27, 2011Get two numbers and give one to a late comer. Pay it forward. And get the princess torte.
