Food Porn: mini-cupcakes in coffee shops the latest thingPosted Mar 28th 2006 8:59PM by Sarah GilbertFiled under: Dessert, East Coast, West Coast, Food Porn, Raves & Reviews, Trends, America, Coffee shops, BakeriesIt's the latest thing, dontcha know? As
follower of coffee shop culture and aficionado of the cupcake craze, I come to you, the leading expert in the field
(says me), to announce: mini-cupcakes in coffee shops are the latest things. Bagels? Yes, they're a staple of
at-the-desk breakfasters everywhere, but they're so over. Cinnamon rolls are on the way out. Oatmeal cookies -
hey, everyone loves oatmeal cookies - but how can you choose cookies over itsy bites of creamy buttery frosting and soft
spongy bits of cake?I found these delicacies at Sydney's, 1800 NW 16th, the hippest thing in Portland,
Ore.'s coffee destinations. The ones at Small World Coffee, 14
Witherspoon St., during my
trip to Princeton, NJ were even better. As I hit my favorite coffeeshops from one coast to another, I keep seeing
the ubiquitous mini-cupcake and I'm here to tell you: this trend rocks. And now it's how you'll know your
coffeeshop is truly with it.[Photos Sarah Gilbert]
