Boston's best home-made Napoleon! Cheap big bowl! đ°
đ° Bazaar Supermarket: Bostonâs Hidden Gem for Russian Treats & More This Russian supermarket is a treasure troveâbeyond cured meats and Chinese snacks, their desserts are next-level. If youâre a fan of buttery, not-too-sweet pastries, add this to your list immediately. đ The Star: Napoleon Cake Hands down my favorite in BostonâI ate 2 pounds in two weeks (no regrets). Sold by weight, itâs affordable and generous (perfect for sharing, though you might not want to). Two versions, both amazing: Butter layer: Rich, thick, and nostalgicâtastes like the creamy, crumbly cakes of childhood. Custard layer: Silky, smooth, and lighter, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Neither is cloyingly sweetâjust buttery, flaky perfection. đŻ Runner-Up: Honey Cake Moist, slightly sweeter than the Napoleon, with layers of coffee cream and a hint of caramel. Dense but not heavyâgreat with tea. đ A Note on Other Desserts Their tiramisu missed the mark (a rare letdown from years back), but the rest? Worth exploring. The display case is full of tempting small cakes and pastriesâtake a chance, you wonât be disappointed. đ Why Itâs a Must-Visit Vibe: No-frills, family-friendly, and packed with hard-to-find goodies (Russian, Eastern European, and Chinese). Price: Budget-friendly, especially for the dessert portions. Bonus: Itâs not just sweetsâstock up on cured sausages, snacks, and ingredients while youâre there. #BostonMarkets #RussianDesserts #NapoleonCake #HiddenTreats
