The City Bakery in New York City New York....What a Delight!

Ok, I have to admit, I've heard about this place for YEARS.  With all my travels to New York City as a Feng Shui Consultant, however, I've never made time to go there.  Until recently.

The City Bakery in New York City is obviously known for its baked delicacies...many with chocolate on them.  As a matter of fact, you can see the melted Chocolate used right in the center of their lovely establishment.

What I didn't know about The City Bakery in New York City, NY was that it served a huge variety of healthful foods which are sold by the pound.  It's a "serve yourself" place and you can choose from a wide variety of healthy things to eat.  This visit was turning out much better then I expected.

The City Bakery is a local, well known, unpretentious place in New York City that is also a lot of fun.  After all that healthful eating you don't MIND indulging yourself on the baked goods-of which there are plenty.  The Chocolate cake is incredible as are the Chocolate Cookies and other special pastries they offer.

The pictures came out dark.  I really didn't want to use the flash in the bakery!  If you make it to New York City or even have to travel a bit, put The City Bakery on your list; it's a winner!

I just love bakeries.  There were some wonderful bakeries in North Beach in San Francisco.  I loved smelling the aromas on the narrow streets.. I almost felt like I was in Italy!  Wonderful times and wonderful treats.

WOW!  My favorite type of shop!  LOL  From your description I could probably spend a lot of time in there.

Joan, I have been in North Beach many times and have tried my share of those wonderful bakeries and coffee shops!  You just brought back some wonderful memories :)

Sally, That's what's so wonderful, you eat the healthy food and don't feel badly.

Carol, It's good.  I didn't at all feel guilty eating those chocolate delights after such a healthy lunch.

Georgina, I have to say we took a small box of assorted treats home...but they didn't make it.

Pat, It is a nice place and I'm glad I finally got there....it wasn't what I expected with that wonderful lunch.

I think your pictures came out great because they show the personal ambiance of the place. Flash would have made them too impersonal.

Carole all I could think of while reading your post is all the wonderful smells usual generated by a bakery.  I can almost taste freshly baked bread right now.  LOL

Hannah, Then we could have had you eating healthy :)  One of the great things about this place.

Russel, It would have been a bit obnoxious to use flash while people were eating :)  Glad to hear they came out ok.

Jennifer, Oh, the smells from there were incredible..you're right.  It depended on what part you were in, the food or (sign) the bakery section.
