Presti's Cafe and Deli - Littly Italy

Presti's is one of those places we go to every time we are in Little Italy.  It doesn't matter how full we are or how late at night it is, we always get a dessert and an espresso.  This time we were with 4 other people so there were lots of desserts.  I was waiting at the counter for all the goodies and everyone else started eating so sorry for the half eaten pics!  We also got some thumb print cookies but the picture didn't turn out.  This first one had cream and strawberries, I don't remember what it was called.  Everyone liked everything!

I love their tiramisu, TBG thinks its the best around.

Half eaten cream puff

Espresso with hazelnut syrup

Cappuccino

Presti's also has food, but we have never gotten it.  The service can be a little slow if they are busy.  The counters get crowded and it's hard to tell who needs help.  Sometimes they have gelato which is pretty good.  We usually get that when they have it.  I like the atmosphere, the front is all windows so you can sit and watch the streets of Little Italy while you sip your espresso.  The prices are pretty average for a bakery.  They have a large stock of Italian desserts, breads and coffees.

Golden Goose - Cuyahoga Falls

**UPDATE:  Golden Goose is now Blue Door Bakery and Cafe.  Revist here**
This bakery restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch.  I have passed it many times after work and always thought it was out of business.  I was very wrong.  We decided to try it out for breakfast and it was good.  There was no wait on a saturday morning.  The decor is a little tired.  We couldn't decide what to get so we got a few things and split them all.  First is the eggs benedict with hash browns.  It is also available in half size.  Not very much hollandaise sauce, eggs were a little too well done, but man did the english muffin make up for all that.  Homemade in their bakery, it was by far the best english muffin I have ever had.  Full of taste, large size, and great toasted texture.  We decided that we were going to have to start coming here and buying muffins and other bakery items to go.  The bakery is open till 5.  The hash browns were average.  I like mine crispier so I didn't eat them.  Next we got a side of corned beef hash.  This again, I prefer crispier.  The taste was ok and the potatoes were soft but it was not the best I have ever had.  Lastly we got the challah french toast.  This was good, I like mine soaked in more of the egg mixture, more soggy, but TBG loved it.  All in all we decided there were better places to go for breakfast, but we will definitely be back for the bakery!
