Ever since it first opened in late December of last year, Strands Café, downtown’s premier coffee and pastry shop, has tried to stay ahead of the curve. Experimentation helps, say purveyors Linelle Mon and Lilita Blanchard, but so does customer feedback. Customer interaction is what keeps popular standbys like their cinnamon roll trios and flaky fresh croissants on their breakfast menu morning after morning, but trying new things brings new favorites like their latest, a puff-pastry chocolate-and-cherry tower aptly dubbed the “cherry-tale fairy-tale.” On any given day you can glance in their display case and find anything from delicate lemon meringue tarts to passion-fruit cheesecake. They’ve also unveiled chocolate treat created just for the city. For more on Strands Café and what else is cooking in Baton Rouge this week, read 225 Dine by clicking here.
