I need a bit of time to put a bow on the final post š (I blame the hurricane), so tune in next week. I promise itāll be worth it.
A few small bites:
For those curious, Iāve been eating a lot of Harris Bakes lately - they announced theyāre closing their current location in mid-September with no reopening plans, so if you havenāt made it yet I strongly recommend you hustle your buns over there. Iād rank it #4 in the city (behind Mah-Ze-Dahr, Ciao Gloria, and Peteeās), so worth the trip.
Eater dropped this NYCās Best New Pastries featuring Salentoās, Frenchette, Dominique Ansel, and Todo Rico. Honestly the buƱelos at Salentoās had me drooling š¤¤
I ordered the KelloggāsĀ® CinnabonĀ® Jumbo Snax, 48 packages because thatās how Amazon sells them. They taste just like I remember Cinnamon Mini-Swirls tasting, the only downside is I would need about 8 packages to make a decent bowl of cereal. Upside, each package is only 50 calories soā¦you still end up eating several of them in one sitting š Honestly sad to see a king cereal like that turned into snax pax for antz smdh
Ok but on that link they have reviews for the product, all of which are āincentivized reviewsā, implying that they sent samples or something to these people, who still had the audacity to say the following:
Meh (1/5 star): If You LOVE Cinnamon this is the snack for you. I found the cinnamon to be way too overpowering. Definitely wasn't a big fan of these. I think if they cut back on a bit of the cinnamon they would be much better. Tasted nothing like Cinnabon Cinnamon buns. (ed note - i agree with the last part, but disagree thereās too much cinnamon - see next review)
Too sweet (3/5 stars): These crunchy, bite sized Cinnabon snacks are pretty sweet. Even though they contain a small amount of sugar, you can really taste the cinnamon sugar taste on these, but not quite that you would expect from an actual Cinnabon cinnamon roll. They are around the size of a nickel in size, and they are perfect for travel sized snacksā¦Some people may enjoy the sugary taste, while it may turn some other people off. I may or may not purchase these again. (ed note - i love how wishy washy this is, like maybe iāll buy it maybe not get out of my business Kelloggs jeez)
Cinnabon Snax (4/5 stars): No idea why they call these Jumbo as they are about the size of a quarter. They are a nice quick and easy to take along sweet treat. The snack isn't messy but is crispy. Good cinnamon and even icing flavoring. To me they are nothing special but I do like the convenience of the Cinnabon Jumbo Snax packs. (ed note - are they as big as a nickel or a quarter?????????)
Ok thatās enough of that see you next week š
