KIM’S KAKERY BAKERY AND CAFE
From the outside, Kim’s Kakery Bakery and Café looks a little run-down, but a step inside the café, with the rush of aromas from fresh-baked bread and pastries, confirms the old adage: Do not judge a book by its cover. Inside, the bakery features cutesy décor and a few cozy tables for dining in. But the heart of the place lies behind the glass display case in the tempting array of goodies the bakery offers. Kim’s features all your typical baked goods and more, including specialty “kupcakes” with original flavors like snickerdoodle, buckeye and death by chocolate. But the famous Kim, whoever she is, does not stop there, as the café also offers a lunch menu complete with unique deli sandwiches. I opted for the Pretzel Club, a hearty sandwich served on a pretzel roll that did not disappoint. For dessert, I let my chocoholic self indulge in a few truffles, which were addicting enough to ensure my return. This hometown “kakery” is a Southside gem, and I just might be its next regular customer.
