    Try the best burnt-almond cake! People come from all over Cali to try this speciality. Either that, or I recommend the eclairs, date bars, cookies, and donuts.

    I've never heard of burnt almond cake, but their burnt almond cake is amazing. Fluffy cake with crunchy almond topping with whipped cream. #drool

    Cash only (who still carries checks?!). Everyone is always talking about their BAC but for me it's really all about their Strawberry rings (seasonal) and chocolate tarts!
