A pastry shop with no forks

March 27, 2016

This pastry shop and bakery has delicious cakes. It's very unusual and upscale by Cuban standards, and relatively expensive.

Curiously, they serve slices of cakes and pies for either "here" or "to go." They even have a counter with barstools for you to sit down and enjoy your treat.

But they don't have forks, neither metal nor plastic.

When you ask, they helpfully suggest that you buy a coffee, which comes with a tiny spoon for stirring in your sugar.

← There's got to be a way to pick a color and stick with itI'm calling this the Cuban pour →
