It's the latest thing, dontcha know? As follower of coffee shop culture and aficionado of the cupcake craze, I come to you, the leading expert in the field (says me), to announce: mini-cupcakes in coffee shops are the latest things. Bagels? Yes, they're a staple of at-the-desk breakfasters everywhere, but they're so over. Cinnamon rolls are on the way out. Oatmeal cookies - hey, everyone loves oatmeal cookies - but how can you choose cookies over itsy bites of creamy buttery frosting and soft spongy bits of cake?
I found these delicacies at Sydney's, 1800 NW 16th, the hippest thing in Portland, Ore.'s coffee destinations. The ones at Small World Coffee, 14 Witherspoon St., during my trip to Princeton, NJ were even better. As I hit my favorite coffeeshops from one coast to another, I keep seeing the ubiquitous mini-cupcake and I'm here to tell you: this trend rocks. And now it's how you'll know your coffeeshop is truly with it.
