Rudy's Pastry Shop

"A neighborhood fixture for birthday cakes and freshly-baked cookies for all holidays and occasions, the German bakery Rudy’s proudly dates to 1934. More recently, the bakery’s backroom doubles as a laptop-friendly cafe that, on mornings and afternoons, assembles a mean grilled cheese, a lean panini, or a croissant stuffed with ham, cream cheese, and a fried egg. Smaller treats abound, including lots of Italian pastries like cannoli." - Robert Sietsema, Andrew Karpan
