I have finally decided that it is time to explore Charlottesville. On the top of the list, bakeries and ice cream shops! I am starting with bakeries. First, I visited Sweethaus. Here, I tried three different cupcakes. This place seems most similar to My Delight Cupcakery in Claremont, CA because of their wide variety of cupcake flavors. It was pretty good, very sweet (which is fine by me); however their cakes were just a bit dry. I would definitely go back, just not every week.

Next, I heard about a place called MarieBette Cafe & Bakery where I tried une pain au chocolate. Their croissants are supposed to as good as Europe's. Now, it has been a lot of years since I've tried a chocolate croissant but it was really good. In fact, there was a warmish, gooey chocolate center. Definitely worth going back to. In fact, I think I want to bring my college friends here when they come to visit!
Whelp, that's all for now! Until next time...
