This little gem of an organic bakery is located inside an old manor; in some ways, you feel like you're entering a museum or someone's private home. People were even picnicking on the front lawn! So while it may be a little unusual, it was definitely a unique, fun experience. Inside, the selection wasn't that unique or extensive. Maybe I was even hoping for it to be a little more... old-fashioned (other than the pies). I recall brownies, pies, and muffins, and despite it being a very nice place to sit and have something sweet with your coffee and tea, the focus is on breads and lunch items. *scowl*  Perhaps due to the focus on those lunch items, the line can get very slow... at least, I was waiting a long time for my treat.

In the end, I opted for probably the most intriguing, exciting item available: the Watergate cake. This was a slice of pistachio cake with a thick layer of fluffy icing sprinkled with chunks of pistachio and sponge cake bottom. The dough had good texture and the flavour of the pistachio was delicate, not over the top. Just right. A nice dessert that's as memorable as the lovely bakery it came from. :)
