Baking For Funsies

Basque cheesecake has become a popular item during the pandemic. After seeing the posts on social media, I gave Baking For Funsies a try. I enjoyed the original flavor but I highly recommend the chocolate. The cheesecake is gooey in the center and not overly sweet. It is rich so portioning the cake out to 6 or 8 pieces would be best. The cheesecakes are sold as a whole and depending on the flavor, it costs between $45-$50.

Farmhouse Cafe

Farmhouse Cafe is a brunch spot in the 808 Center. Their specialty is the potato mille feuille and I highly recommend ordering it. The food portions were good and everything tasted delicious but the prices are high. The breakfast and brunch items ranged from $10 to $18.

They have a limited menu; this might be due to the pandemic. The wait for food was longer than most brunch places and it seemed like the staff was still in training. The interior decor is rustic but the dine in space is tight. They have 3 table outside by the entrance but it can get busy with people waiting for table. If you are concerned with social distancing, take out would be you best option for you. You can also get pastries and coffee to go. For parking, I suggest parking on the street in the residential area or at a metered space on the street. If nothing is available on the street, you can drop off your vehicle at the 808 Center vertical garage and let the staff park it for you. I'm not sure what their parking rates are.
