Casey's Bakery

The Scene
Sunny yellow walls and corner windows open up this small space with booths along the walls and a few scattered tables. Order at the counter from the chalkboard menu or pastry cases, and your order will be brought to the table for you. Some off-street parking is available.

The Selection
Housemade granola, a variety of omelets, Caesar salad and daily soups. Sandwiches include grilled seasonal vegetables, tuna melt and Waldorf chicken salad (flavorful, but a bit dry). But the pastries ... black-bottom cupcakes that make you want to crawl inside and pull the chocolate in over you. Coffee cake that's light and not too sweet. Scones with fresh, juicy berries. Pumpkin cream cheese muffins. Um, you get the idea.

The Stars
It's absolutely true that when John Travolta was in town filming "Lucky Numbers" he insisted on having creme brulee delivered from Casey's every day.
