01
Tiramisu - Zephyr
If you make the trip to Zephyr, make sure to get this tiramisu! The flavors perfectly balance each other; the coffee doesn't overpower the taste of the creamy layers. The hint of cinnamon on top is a small but noteworthy addition to this layered delight. Don't worry, its a nice spongy cake that doesn't fall into the typically soggy tiramisu trap.
02
Mango + Honey Cake -
Blossom Bird Bubble Tea
Sweet cake with a super moist base. if you have a big sweet tooth this is the cake for you. The standout star is truly the moist cake - some of the best I've had. The frosting can be a bit sweet though, so if you prefer your sweets on the lighter side, I'd skip this one.
03
Grilled Octopus -
Strega Nonna
It's special to find fresh seafood in the UP. We have an abundance of fish, but not a lot of shellfish and mollusks. I wasn't expecting the octopus to be as fresh tasting as it was, but it was a very pleasant surprise. The tender, grilled meat was placed nicely with a punchy vinegar cucumber/celery salad, which gives it nice variety. Although, the octopus is delicious on its own as well.
