First Impressions
The very first impression one gets of the Savoy Bakery is the neat and clean look from outside looking inside. The bakery has a golden light hue. And the smell of freshly baked goods hits you upon opening the doors. Everything is presented well. The cakes are absolutely gorgeous to look at. It is almost a shame to cut into them. They look like works of art. The cookies and bread are also very tempting. All are baked fresh daily. And it gets better. Taste any of the baked goods and you will not be disappointed.
All of the baked goods at the Savoy Bakery are made with butter and no trans fats. So they contain less cholesterol than you may expect from baked goods. Can this get any better? Well yes, prices are very reasonable! (see photo).
