Description:
Tucked among children's boutiques and salons, Haute Cakes Caffe has earned a reputation for great pancakes. They serves up three large golden buttermilk cakes with butter and maple syrup on the side. And for a long time, only the plain (albeit delicious) cakes were available.
Country French bakery bread is browned and spread with creamy mascarpone cheese; it's then dotted with fresh raspberries and drizzled with honey to create a sort of deconstructed toast and jam.
Their favorite salad combines romaine with crumbled Maytag blue cheese, thinly sliced apples and candied pecans in a champagne vinaigrette.
