The Yamato renovation has been very active, and there was a sign in the window before it started telling people it would be closed for a couple of weeks. I think it's coming back.

cousin john's, however is starting to worry me.

first they said they were renovating and reopening jan. 24th and now it says "gone skiing" or something opening feb. 1.

does anyone know the scoop?

Good to know about Yamato, and, man, I hope Cousin John's open again~ Where will I get good, decently priced baked goods??

belzjm

although i hope cousin john's comes back too.

they have been there forever, I know that place and have gone in there on ocassion. I like some of their stuff, but other things, I don't care for much. Not crazy about a lot of their cakes, not into the icing they do. And, their prices are higher than Cousin Johns, I remember last year when i was looking for strawberry shortcake calling them and cousin john's, and cousin john's was considerably cheaper.


I finally went into les pommes (is that it? the place on 5th avenue) a few weeks ago. Wow! $5 for a slice of pie! Too rich for my blood, I don't remember what an entire pie was, maybe about $30? Won't be going in there again, I knew there was a reason why I had never entered that store since they opened, what? 3 years ago?

i love trois pommes. go there at least once a week for their desserts.

ever tried this place, longtimesloper?

they have TERRIFIC stuff!

longtimesloper

Well, their desserts do look good, it's their prices I take exception with, LOL.

No, haven't tried that place, the name reminds me of a pet shop, lol. Do they have cakes and pies? I thought they were just muffins and cookies? No? Will look them up

belzjm

i'm not sure if they have cakes or pies, but everything i've had from them is just delicious!

might be worth checking into for cakes, etc..

longtimesloper

Oh, they are right near Lopez Bakery, interesting

No prices on the menu, what are their prices like? For example, how much is a cookie or a cupcake?

bkchickie

Do you bakery experts know of a good cake place in the North Slope?

belzjm

well cousin john's is good, but they are closed till february 1 for renovations (or so we're hoping...)

it's on 7th avenue between berkeley and lincoln place.
