text: Dozen Bake Shop is a little ways down the road from me but the storefront and their eye for aesthetics had me interested immediatelynnI took a spin down there for their Saturday brunch and ordered the breakfast empanadas and the tempeh hash as well as two cupcakes I know what a healthy breakfast I ordered an iced mocha and an ice caramel mocha to go as wellnnThe empanadas were awesome I opted to get them with chorizo and it gave it a meatiness and a little saltiness that went well with the egg black beans and other ingredients inside The outside pastry was flaky and crumbly which I found pleasing The little cup of salsa and sour cream complimented the empanadas nicelynnMy girlfriend had the tempeh hash which she only thought was alright I did not know what tempeh was and she did not like the taste of it it was more of a preferential thing than an actual dislike for the dish She liked the sweet potatoes and the potatoes but shied away from the peppers which she is not a fan of All in all she ended up disliking the dish for the most part which is probably my fault it did not really suit her We both agree it was cooked nicely it was just not something she would enjoynThe cupcakes were moist and delicious and the frosting light and fluffy We got the milk chocolate variety which was one of three flavors which changes daily This method keeps everything fresh daytoday and I think is a great ideannIll definitely be going back to the Dozen bake shop My girlfriend wants to try the quiche which if I was not so thick I would have ordered for her in the first placennCheck this place out if you like a hip atmosphere unique food choices and some pretty solid coffeemaking that put Starbucks to shame It would also be a great place to order cupcakes for a birthday occasion
