Affairs Chocolate & Desserts

One of the most complete pastry shops in the city, you can find cheesecakes, cakes, and truffles at Affairs. You will find every type of torte or cake you desire: Tiramisu, black and white cake, carrot cake, and many variations of choco/​coffee/​mocha tortes. You can order whole cakes, they average about $ 40 for a large.
I find the baked goods adequate/​very good, but I don’t crave them. The last whole cake I bought, a chocolate decadence, was okay. But it didn’t outshine a girlfriend’s store bought chocolate torte that appeared at the same party. (I watched them get eaten at the same rate and without many comments pro/​con for either. But my cake cost 3x more… so I’m expecting something!)
We used to eat here regularly. A couple of ok meals and then a horrendous Mother’s Day brunch ended our «regulars» status. Someone else called it Euro Bistro style, which is about right… but I’d add the word «ersatz» before it. The food is average in general, but very good in comparison to similar establishments in the area. It can be pricey for a casual lunch, averaging about $ 15, when all is said and done.
Solid, but lacking much soul.

This is great for any meal of the day.
My boss took my co-worker’s and I here for lunch, and I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not a huge fan of their homemade «Ranch» dressing… but they have the Best Reuben in town. The deserts are good (I would prefer they didn’t use salted butter in the Red Velvet cupcakes, but they are still delicious… you just taste the salt a little bit)
Overall, the Service was great, my food was great… and I tried a few other things that were delicious. I will definitely return!
