This past weekend I decided to surprise my friend with a visit up in Morristown, New Jersey. She is a hair stylist and just moved to a new salon (For Hair and Body) right in the heart of the town.
So upon my visit, we decided to go and get some coffee. "Our options are the following," she said to me. "A Starbucks down the road, a bagel place, or this cute little cafe around the corner." Well I immediately pick the cafe, and what a great choice. We walk around the corner and entered The Artist Bakery
What a find! A diamond in the rough, if you will. We walked in, greated by a display case filled with sweet treats. Miniature cucpakes, freshly bakes pies, tarts, muffins, and even s'mores lined the shelves. As you walk further in, an eclectic mixture of chairs and tables awaits, making it feel like you are sitting in the comfort of someone's home as opposed to a carbon copy of a coffee house that started in, let's say, Seattle. The staff is small but welcoming, and the baker is there to answer all your questions.
My friend ordered a chai latte and I a regular cup of coffee. But the best was the dessert that I ended up taking home with me. I decided to get my dad a lemon tart, my mom a warm chocolate souffle cake, and a s'more for myself. Everything was AMAZING! Good thing Morristown is not one of the closest towns to me, otherwise I think I would be at the Artist Bakery all the time. But for now, I know where to go when I am in town and I need a sweet treat.
