Besides serving the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/49thcoffee.com\/\">49th Parallel<\/a>\u00a0coffee products, I also noticed\u00a0an impressive display of baked goods, wraps, and deli\u00a0sandwiches behind their glass counter.<\/p>\n<p>We had some coffee and tasted a few desserts. My <strong>Chai Latte<\/strong> was quite delicious, and went\u00a0well with what we ordered for our sweet tooth. I found the <strong>Chocolate Brownie Bar<\/strong> and the<strong> Lemon Coconut Ba<\/strong>r low in sweetness and seemed quite healthy with their ingredients. Although <em>Foodgressing<\/em> thought\u00a0her\u00a0Tiramisu was a little dry, I quite liked the texture. But it was definitely not the classic Tiramisu you would expect at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/stella-pastry-cafe\/\" target=\"_blank\">an authentic Italian bakery.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure
