If you haven't guessed already I have a really sweet tooth, luckily my cravings are often sorted with the amount of bakeries and doughnut shops in these parts. But one of my favorites has to be the MexicanTown Bakery over in, you guess it, MexicanTown. Joe's managed to bring back some sweet treat goodies from the bakery before but this was my first trip inside and I was like a kid in a candy shop. So many choices.
Rich chocolate cake, cookies the size of the palm of your hand, covered apples to pastries and biscuits. Everything you could ever wish for and more than you could take in. So what did I go for this time? A huge chocolate chip cookie and a divinely moist chocolate cake.
The bakery is also a great store for Mexican and some harder to find American pops (in Michigan we tend to call soda pop, so being British I don't feel out of place in this regard). While I have a liking for Mexican cola, I found it hard to turn down the offer of a Jarritos Mango drink, Joe picked up an apple soda and a couple of the Barg's red creme soda. Barg's creme soda is so hard to find in fact, that this is the first bottle Joe's seen in over four years.
It's like liquid gold.
I think it's a bit of an acquired taste, it's certainly different to anything I've tried before, really very sweet if that's your kind of thing.
MexicanTown itself is a must visit location if you're ever in Detroit, literally across the road is our favorite Mexican restaurant Armandos who do a fabulously great priced all you can eat lunchtime buffet - everything is always warm and well stocked.
