What sweet item do you usually order in cafes?

[AlwaysTakeTheWetherWithEwe]

Personally I love a Portuguese custard tart, cinnamon whirl or brownie(But no gluten free brownies please.) A nice bit of cake(no dried fruit) is very welcome too but I find it hard to get decent cake now that doesn’t involve too many flavours or bloody biscuits on top.

What’s your sweet item of choice l?

coffee and walnut cake for me too. Husband and sons don't like coffee nor walnuts so ots a good way to get my fix

The pastries with custard and half an apricot.
Coffee and walnut cake.

oh those are nice are they a a
Danish pastry ?I buy them in tesco .

Millionaire shortbread

or Coffee Cake if I can ever find it without walnuts. That would be my first choice, but it is difficult to find.

Cake. Victoria sponge or carrot or coffee, lemon drizzle, cherry and almond. Not chocolate cake but sadly that always seems to be the default in a lot of places.

@newname, not a cafe but M and S used to do a lovely coffee Swiss roll.
Can I also add once again that plonking a jammy dodger/bueno/Biscoff on top of a cake is bonkers to me. I either want cheesecake/cake OR a biscuit. Not half a Daim bar stuck out the top of my dessert!
No offence to those who love them.

Usually a cheese scone. I'm keeping a tally of the best ones in the area.
If I fancy something sickly then some sort of traybake like aero, crunchie, creme egg etc. A local place does ones that are so big and sickly that I can only manage a half - and I've got a very sweet tooth!

Pecan danish, coffee cake, lemon drizzle or a cherry bakewell slice

Not sweet but cheese scones are the best.
Or an almond croissant.
Coffee and walnut cake.

Millionaire's shortbread, Victoria sponge cake, lemon tart, custard Danish, cheese scone (not sweet but hey ho), pecan plait, chocolate or coffee gateau.

I want cake now. 😍All the cake.😂

Oh more of a tray bake here - rocky road, mint slice, raspberry ruffle, fifteen, rice crispy square, millionaire shortbread. 😋

In the old Patisserie Valerie days their chocolate gateau was awesome. Pity they lost the plot.

Flapjack please. No chocolate.

Lemon drizzle but it can't be dry or a skimpy portion.

Paris Brest or a good meringue with cream.

Millionaire’s shortbread, as long as it’s not massively thick
Empire biscuit
Pineapple tart

Bit of chocolate tiffin for me please, if it's one of your average coffee shops.

Avoid cupcakes at all costs, as no matter how prettily they are decorated, one mouthful is more than enough.

I rarely rarely have anything as I'm super low carb, to control my diabetes. But if I do, it has to look worth it! So I'll judge at the time which looks the best. I am partial to a GOOD lemon Muffin (Tesco finest twin pack current top of list!! Back on the wagon tomorrow though 🥺)

Lemon/orange/lime polenta cake.

Carrot cake or chocolate tiffin

There used to be a coffee shop near me that had the most amazing vegan brownies super moist and squidgy and not at all sweet. Sadly they closed down. I'm not vegan but those brownies were the best.

Otherwise a nice scone with jam and cream.

tiffin

cakes are usually disappointing

I don’t really have a very sweet tooth so usually a scone (heated a bit) with coffee

Crumble with custard of it's that kind of café, otherwise lemond drizzle cake or Portuguese tart.

I like a vanilla slice.
