You may have seen and stuffed your face with Cake Monkey's famed, addictive mini-cakewiches sold in specialty stores. Well, you can get them at this brick-and-mortar spot, too, where Pastry Chef Elizabeth Belkind is whipping up insanely tasty treats like mini-layer cakes, pop pies (basically grown-up Pop-Tarts), cookie sandwiches filled with ganache or buttercream, and El Rollos (upgraded Ho Hos). You'll also find scrumptious pies inside this bright pink bakery, like cherry almond and cider-roasted apple with a double cheddar crust. Vegans and gluten-free snackers rejoice: there are versions of treats and breakfast items that suit your diet here, including a chocolate hazelnut babka and a bacon cheddar scone.
