This cafe offers some of the best pastries I've ever had! The snitter is my favorite - the flavors are similar to those found in an American-style cinnamon roll, but it's so much better! I'm not a huge fan of cream-filled pastries and rarely order them, but the ones at Nielsen's are perfect, light and not too sweet (try a Sarah Bernard or a ""potato"" pastry). For some reason, the cafe is mostly frequented by older people, and Nielsen's offers one or two ""senior specials"" (a regular coffee and some kind of roll or pastry, I think). I wouldn't say the cafe has much of an ambiance, and it's certainly not one of those ""hip"" coffee shops, but the staff are friendly, there is plenty of seating, and, most importantly, the pastries are THE BEST!!!
Pros: Sumptuous pastries and baked goods
Cons: They are closed on Sunday and close early on other days (around 5 pm, I think)
