Gettin’ Lucky

There once was a place on King Street,
A nice cafe called Bittersweet,
With cupcakes galore,
Want for nothing more,
Make one stop for all of your treats!

Unlike a four-leaf clover, Bittersweet is not hard to find and either are great ideas for all your St. Patty Day needs. We have more than green beer and bagels; take our Irish Cream Puffs for example, who could resist?

Need shamrock cookies for the kids’ class at school? We got it! How about our mini corned beef sandwiches or hot Corned Beef and Cabbage for lunch at the office? We’re on it! How about one of Bittersweet’s delectable Pistachio cupcakes? We have that too! Boy, you got the luck of the Irish finding us!

Why not try our NEW Grasshoppers – our yummy chocolate pecan cookies sandwiched with mint cream and glazed with even more chocolate! We think it’s a refreshing combo and makes a delightful afternoon treat!

 

Our Emerald Luncheon

Top of the afternoon to ya! Its lunch time and we know your all hungry for something a little non traditional, right? For the month of March give our Emerald Luncheon a try, featuring our premium Corned Beef/Turkey Sandwich with 1000 Island dressing, our delicious and unique Summer Potato Salad, and wrap it up with our double sized Chocolate Mint cupcakes for dessert...without a doubt not traditional and sure to please any appetite. Who doesn’t like meat, potatoes, and cupcakes??? Only $13.50 per person!

Upgrade your dessert tray this month from our mini cookies and bar desserts to our double size chocolate-mint cupcakes with any purchase of our Corporate Lunch Packages for only a $1 extra per person!! Please place your order by 12 noon the day prior to delivery/pickup and please no substitutions.

So, did Easter surprise you with its early arrival this year? Yes, Easter is Sunday, March 23rd, but don’t let its early arrival get your bonnet in a twist, Bittersweet is here to help with our festive array of items to please any palate.

National Lemon Chiffon Cake Day

March 29th has been deemed National Lemon Chiffon Cake Day. And wouldn’t you know, we not only have Lemon Chiffon Cake, but it’s one of our bestsellers! Why not celebrate this almost-spring day with family and friends surrounded around our delightfully light Lemon Chiffon Cake? Sounds like a good afternoon treat to us!

Bittersweet Delivers the Baked Goods!

Why go out, and for goodness sakes, why buy a special occasion cake from a grocery store? Have your celebration cake delivered directly to your office. Birthdays, promotions, baby showers, going aways and retirements, our cakes are fresh, delicious and always homemade.

Goin’ Green!

This year at Bittersweet we are trying to make great strides in becoming a more earth friendly business.
