A locally owned take-out bakery, specializing in cakes and pastries since 1983.
Tucked in the Federal Hill neighborhood, Pastiche is located on Spruce Street off Dean Avenue, parallel to Atwells Avenue. Look for a pretty sign bearing its name, hanging from a blue building.
“We have been making delicious desserts for over 40 years,” says longtime employee-turned-owner Amy Foster. “We are a part of people’s everyday occasions, and some very special ones too.” My cashier informs me that people drive from across the northeast to purchase Pastiche’s cakes and pastries which include everything from chocolate chip cookies to layer cakes and tiramisu. “Our cannoli are delicious,” adds Foster, who shares that her favorite is their chocolate mousse cake. “And lastly, our fruit tart is simple perfection,” she says of the number one bestseller, a glistening composition of carefully selected fresh fruit housed in an all-butter tart shell filled with creamy vanilla custard. For Valentine’s Day, in addition to their standard menu, look for heart-shaped chocolate pound cakes that serve one or two, heart-shaped raspberry jam shortbread cookies, and – depending on quality and availability – chocolate-dipped strawberries. New Harvest coffee and MEM tea are also available.
