At the pastry shop, delicacy treats that are made from scratch never fail to surprise and delight. At the Broadmoor the display case showed the technical expertise of the pastry staff. all the delicacies are crafted with meticulous care. It is hard to choose just one.
what really set this sweet shoppe apart from the of the sweet shoppes that i have found is creativity. Magnificent macarons floated – apparently no calories as the macarons floated gravity free into a conical spire.
I chose a red velvet cup cake and – to my delight – was surprised after the second delicious bite with a chocolate center. With Joy of savoring a cup cake made with care is an experience to be shared.
What ever the creation, each treat at the Broadmoor Sweet shoppe surprised and delighted.

Favorite Breakfast place with a view.
Currently a favorite breakfast eatery is the City Park Tavern and we ventured to the lunch menu. During the week of travel – the quest is for a really good Rueben sandwich. It is an adventure worth undertaking. Thick slices of corned beef with layered sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese and thousand Island dressing – grilled to perfection on Rye bread. Each taste is a blend of savory, tangy and creamy flavors. The quest has lead from Diners, specialty shops, and finally to City Park Tavern. While the Rueben is piled high with turkey instead of corned beef, the dressing and melted cheese is a twist on a really good Rueben. The quest still continues for the exceptional, which is sure to satisfy cravings and leave you longing for no more.
