Bakery Menu - What are the essentials

[mpshort]

Aloha!

After several years I've finally updated my website:

Short N Sweet Bakery & Cafe

I own a very small bakery/cafe in the quaint little town of Hawi on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Everything is made from scratch with an emphasis on using local produce (so no berry or apple desserts )

I have both a refrigerated and non-refrigerated display cases that contain the following items:

german chocolate and pecan fudge brownies

variety of cupcakes (very vanilla, snickers, cookies n cream)

maple bread pudding

key lime (Italian meringue topping), banana cream and peanut butter pie

lilikoi cheesecake w/toasted coconut crust

flourless chocolate cake

lilikoi bars (like lemon bars only with a lilikoi topping)

kohala crunch bars ( a version of Allen Wong's hawaiian crunch bars)

chocolate delice (from The Simple Art of Baking)

coconut macaroons

hawaiian raw sugar cookie (Flo Braker's version of pain d'amande made w/hawaiian raw sugar)

meringues

coconut bread

banana bread

apricot almond danish

pain au chocolat

mango coconut buttermilk scones

chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies

macadamia nut blondies

raspberry rugelach

palmiers

chocolate truffle cookies

oreos

and sometimes:

brioche (pull aparts and brioche au chocolat)

challah

My question is this:

What are your favorite bakery/patisserie items and why?

Any suggestions to add to this list?

Mahalo for looking and for all your help!

What about some granola? Good alternative to pasteries, good markup, people tend to like it.

I'm very fond of croissants. They aren't something that I'm likely to bake at home and I can eat them savory (ham and cheese) or sweet (honey butter and marmalade).

I also love croissants, especially chocolate; also almond croissants, ham and cheese, spinach and cheese, etc.

Some other favorites are hazelnut or almond crescent cookies, jam thumbprints, cinnamon twists, cinnamon rolls, donuts, coffee cakes, muffins, oatmeal cookies...
