Cheap Bakeries

Do you mean Biscotti Regina? The item in question was mentioned as being good for dipping in coffee and like a biscuit. These guys are all covered in sesame seeds, so do we have a winner? ;)

But speaking of bakeries, I was told Rispoli in Ridgefield was good, particularly their cannolis. I was madly craving some so hiked down to get a few plus some sfogliatelle which I also love. I was kinda disappointed. The cannoli's tasted really fried so I tried to lick the cream out but that was just a mess and it wasn't the same obvoiusly. The sfogliatelle was really dense and not particularly flaky despite its looks. The candied fruit was barely detectable flavor wise though clearly there was plenty. Has anyone else had issues there? I'd gone first thing in the morning so it's not like it was old goods. My source hadn't been there in 7 years so maybe their quality has changed since? And to stay on topic, is this a good cheap bakery? =)

We do! We do! Thanks SO much...I've never known the name of them, but the description always gets me an instant yes or no in a bakery. :biggrin: And they're good with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cappucino, milk...

Of course, now I think I'm going to have to stop in to the Lyndhurst Bake Shop tomorrow. Thanks for THAT. :laugh:
