~$2 tea and $3.50 pastry at Savory Cafe. Love.It was love at first bite when a young lady behind the counter offered napoleon cake samples. Then she graciously offered more when I expressed enthusiasm. I restrained myself and only took seconds, though. ;-)I bought their white chocolate pastry that had layers of crisp wafer crumbs, fluffy cake, light creams, and cocoa powder.A returning visit is anticipated in the future. Likely for their $1.50 french macarons, too! Zoom

Veggie Sandwich Ben-Yay's

Veggie sandwich ($7.25) and ben-yay’s (beignets, 3 for $1) at Cheeky Sandwiches. The sandwich was a lot greasier than I would have liked but the pickled veggies were delish. No photo of the ginger tea ($1.75), though I must say that it had the perfect balance of sweetness and a subtle, spicy kick!
