An Easy-Bake Oven brought temporary joy. You could bake treats. However, the quantity was lacking. No such problem at Sweet Elena’s. Not only do they prepare mouth-watering pies, cakes and pastries, there are also plenty to go around (at least at the start of the morning – it’s a popular spot). In addition to freshly baked goods, Elena offers quiches, salads and sandwiches – typically on a baguette. There are a few tables inside and outside where you can drink your coffee and read a newspaper (yes, they carry the Weekly) or eat lunch. The steady flow of customers and the smell of something good happening in the oven will make your day.
