Tampa to the South | ofKors Bakery We’d made a pact to wake up bright and early today, hit the road south, and check off ofKors Bakery from our list—excitement was through the roof! 🌟 But man, not sure what went wrong… Was it sky-high expectations? Hormones playing tricks? Or maybe just the bakery’s actual vibe? Let’s just say, the looks were there, but the flavors? Hmm. 🤔 Today’s tally: 6 treats + 1 thought (spoiler: mixed feelings) 🍰 Sweets x3 Bakalava: The top layer was nice and crispy, but the bottom? Rock-hard. 😬 And the nut bits? Definitely the skimpiest I’ve ever had in baklava—total heartbreak. 💔 It was on the sweeter side, but hey, I could live with that. Pistachio Matcha Honey Cake: I’d been dying to try Russian honey cake forever! 🥹 Bad luck struck, though—plain was sold out, so I settled for pistachio matcha. But where was the matcha? 🥴 And the pistachio? Just a sad sprinkle on top, not the creamy pistachio layer I dreamed of. All I tasted was honey, and that “cream”? So cloying, my mouth felt coated. 😭 The cake itself was super moist… but is that how it’s supposed to be? First time trying, so maybe I’m just confused? 🫠 Fruit Tart: After the honey cake fiasco, I had a bad feeling about this one. And yep, that creamy frosting? Just as heavy as I feared. 💔 Scraped most of it off—thankfully, the crust was decent, and the mango… well, it was there, even if a little overripe. Let’s be real, I mostly bought it for the Instagram pic. 📸 🥪 Savory x1 Salmon Crepe: French-style egg crepe stuffed with smoked salmon, spinach, and mozzarella. Gotta give props—the salmon was piled high, and the flavor? Solid. 👍 But the crepe itself? So floppy, it was like wrapping a wet napkin around the filling. 😶 For a second, I seriously debated dashing to the nearby Whole Foods to grab a tortilla and rebuild it myself. ☕️ Drinks x3 Iced Americano: Strong smoky notes, a little on the tart side, but manageable. ☕️ Hot Pistachio Latte: Another pistachio let-down! 🥲 Tasted exactly like that caramel-flavored Half & Half you grab at the grocery store—zero pistachio love here. Turmeric Bloom: Turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and almond milk. Smooth going down, but the flavor was way too weak. Like, where’s the kick? 🥛 Today’s “pistachio” flavors were basically fake news—no wonder my taste buds are throwing a tantrum. 🤯 Maybe we showed up too late? Who knows. But hey, you gotta try these things to know what’s up, right? 🤷♀️ 📍 1359 Main St, Sarasota #Patan
