Espresso 59 — Restaurant in Litchfield

I found an awesome little Cafe while strolling through Litchfield. There were so many different varietiy cakes, it was alot to take in. But this is a good thing! While I was there I had a Philly Cheesesteak Bun. It was a perfect size treat of a traditional Philly favorite. Coming from the Philly area, this was very nostalgic and novel, at the same time. Thank You for that. I digress, so about the cakes. I took some to go. As soon as I got home, I could not wait to dive into the Chocolate Spoon Cake. It was like Heaven in your mouth (if Heaven had a taste, this probably comes close). It was moist chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse layer inside, at least I think it's mousse. It was soft and not overly sweet. The mousse covered the outside of the cake as well with shaved chocolates. It was topped with a striped roll of shaved chocolate and white chocolate. I don't think the picture or the description do it justice. You have to try it to believe me. I also bought a Rocky Road Brownie square, which will be tomorrow's treat...and 2 more of the Philly Cheesesteak Buns! I recommend this quaint little Cafe, but if you don't want to take my word...go there and you will know what I mean. There are a lot more this little gem offers and I have not even scratched...

The man behind the counter asked me if I had ever had a sfogliatelle and as a full-blooded second generation italian american I looked at him sideways. He insisted that I try one, which I did, and I can wholeheartedly say it was the best I've ever had. Full stop. The pastry itself was incredibly fresh especially considering I was there after 6pm. The outer shell was perfectly crispy and light yet substantial and the filling was incredible. Still having the traditional flavor the filling had a wonderfully delightful whipped and creamy consistency as opposed to the semi soft custard I am accustomed to. It was spectacular. Thoroughly impressed with the pastries and the store itself...

I loved my stop at espresso 59 in Litchfield Connecticut. We started off with a basil lemonade mixed with iced tea that was absolutely delicious on a hot summer day. We opted for a scone as well as a warm breakfast treat of spinach and feta, that was absolutely delicious. The scone was perfect in its texture and flavor filled with lots of blueberries. The banana-coconut cake and appleberry crumble were also wonderful desserts. I highly recommend you stop into this wonderful Italian coffee shop taste their savory treats and delicious beverages. We definitely will be...
