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?

Scone, or any kind of fruity cake e.g. lemon drizzle, carrot, or slightly more unusual ones like courgette and raspberry, lime and pistachio etc.

Lemon drizzle, flapjack, carrot cake or a chocolate croissant pleat thing, mmm!

I have old fashioned tastes so I like something like ginger bread, scones, carrot cake, maybe an almond croissant or panettone. I like black forest gateau but that's more of a dessert I think. I don't really like brownies or all these biscoff or oreo type cakes that seem to be everywhere at the moment. I also don't like cakes with lots of icing or sprinkles or rocky road. My favourite cake is a Scottish snowball (the round coconut coated one with sponge and raspberry jam) but you don't often see these in cafes.

A slice of a layer cake like carrot cake or coffee and walnut. But if not, I’ll happily order traybake or pastry or muffin - whatever looks the most fresh and tasty.

This is interesting. Would you buy a Victoria sponge if you could? I am thinking of making a free one for my local cafe to say "see if it sells" with no pressure to buy one, just to see if it goes. My son is coeliac and I'm a keen baker (not great at how they look sadly ! I make a mean GF brownie so the comment about no GF brownies makes me wonder why they're deemed crap. The recipe I use is very egg, sugar, butter and chocolate heavy with a v small amount of flour so the GF element is tiny. This is today's cake

Carrot cake. Or anything with marzipan or cherry…
oh cherry scones…
lemon cake or tart… the tarter the better

In costa always a tiffin, also partial to a chocolate twist

Always, anywhere and everywhere- a pain au chocolate. If this is not available .. reluctantly.. a croissant with heaps of butter to spread.

Millionaire's shortbread. It has to have a proper shortbread base though, no crushed up digestives. Also prefer nothing fancy like salted caramel on it. Don't mess with perfection.

It depends on the cafe, if it's an unknown place I don't want to waste money and calories on something that might not be worth it so I'll usually just skip the sweet treat. In the two cafes that I go to fairly regularly, one of them I like their banana bread (sells out very quickly so often don't manage to get it) or they have gooey chocolate chip cookies. The other cafe makes a home-made (cafe-made?) version of a bounty bar that is amazing.

Usually a chocolate brownie (agree though, not if GF!) or a muffin. Just nothing Biscoff!

Only time I order something to eat with a coffee is a toasted teacake if I've missed breakfast and am going to be out for a while. In Spain I'll eat the free accompanying biscuits or tapa if I'm hungry, if not I'll stick the wrapped biscuit in my bag for later.

Some sort of chocolatey tray bake or a cinnamon swirl/bun if there is plenty of icing on top.

I love a fruit scone. That's always my first choice! If they don't have those I tend to go for some sort of loaf cake

I'm breaking in new reading glasses and read this as 'Carrot cake or chocolate filth'! 😁
