If European desserts are what you crave, this is the place to go. The Austrian bakery, which is also a full restaurant, serves items like homemade Black Forest Cake, apple strudel, and Belgian waffles. Some specialties include the Bienenstich, a traditional Austrian-German pastry with layers of sweet yeast dough and light whipped custard cream, topped with slivered almonds. Or the Topfen Strudel, a traditional Austrian sweet cheese strudel made with a hand-pulled, parchment-thin pastry. They even make an excellent Polish dessert, a Chicago favorite, the Paczki. Wash it all down with a Viennese Iced Coffee, made with an espresso shot and whipped cream.
