A Visit to the Blue Scorcher Bakery and Cafe in Astoria

After exploring the Astoria Column we were ready for a coffee break. After doing a quick Google search I found the Blue Scorcher Bakery and Café. It ended up being a good choice. It was a very chill and cozy café. The customers were encouraged to relax on the couch and sip some coffee, or get some work done at one of the many tables. We especially enjoyed the large children's area in the corner. There were toys, small chairs, and books, so the little ones can play while the parents can enjoy a hot latte and bakery treat. The girls at the counter were really sweet, asking our sons what they were up to that day, and commenting on their toy airplanes from the Astoria Column. They also had a large display case with baked goods they looked too good to pass up. My boys each chose a large chocolate chip cookie and my husband and I picked a cinnamon roll to split. We also had a Caramel Latte to go with our goodie. We took over the couch in the corner and our boys hung out in the kid's area. The cinnamon roll was just right. It had raisons and the perfect amount of icing. It was just what we needed after climbing all of those stairs at the Column.
