Upper Crust Bakery
American Cafe, Bakery, Desserts • Midtown • Under $10
The atmosphere here is punctuated by newspapers lying around on wooden tables, as well as by mothers and little girls enjoying a midmorning snack. Cinnamon roll aficionados should try Upper Crust's version, a refined-taste treat that refuses to overwhelm the cinnamon with stickiness. Stop by at lunchtime for soups, salads, and sandwiches, and maybe bring a cake back to the office.
