Adonna's: An Oasis on Palafox

 
It has been a long time since I last posted, and that's a direct result of this hectic time of the year.  From November to January, many of us operate on overdrive at home and at work.  If you need a few minutes of calm, stroll into Adonna's Bakery downtown (114 A Palafox Place).  As the name implies, they have yummy baked goods.  Some make great Christmas gifts like the chocolate and caramel cake pops pictured below.  To my surprise, however, my favorite part of this bakery is not the sweets.  It's the "real" food including their spinach pastry, quiches, and--my favorite--the Greek Goddess sandwich made with spinach, feta, hummus, cucumbers, and other goodness.  I never thought I could love a sandwich that didn't involve chicken, turkey or pork, but I was wrong.  I've consumed two in the past week.  I am actually eating one now while admiring Adonna's Old World decor, agitated only by the sight of my laptop.


Well, lunch is over.  Back to the real world.
