Society Bakery

Without a doubt, Society Bakery whips up the best cupcakes and whoopie pies in town. But don't take our word for it, just ask Ellen DeGeneres and Food Network's Duff Goldman, who declared them to be among the best in the country. And it's pretty easy to see why: the cupcakes, which come in a dozen or so mouthwatering flavors– from vanilla salted caramel to key lime and coconut cream, are nothing short of ethereal. Ditto for the whoopie pies. The peppermint red velvet (red velvet cake with a peppermint cream cheese icing sandwiched in-between) is Goldman's favorite, but we think the bread-pudding ones really take the cake. Speaking of cakes and pies, Society does a smashing job with both. They also pump out everything from muffins and petite fours to cookies and brownies. After something more savory? Society serves lunch in the form of jazzed up toasts and sandwiches.
