And, she is back....Twirl Cafe, Le Reve Bakery.

My God, has it really been this long? Time flies when you are pregnant with a toddler and then all of a sudden you have two kiddos..
But, I miss the blogs, and now, I am out to find the great cafes/parks and places in which I can keep an eye on my toddler while tending to my newborn if the need be. this has proven to be a bit of a challenge for me. well, I admit, I have yet to really venture out without reinforcement, or for a lenghty outing solo with the 2 kids. Its all about timing and lately, granting most every wish of my toddler as he makes this transition to big brotherhood.

A place that I went while pregnant, but that I will venture back to with both kids is Twirl Cafe. And, since you are in the neighborhood, you must check out my fave new bakery, Le Reve. First, the bakery. This place actually brought tears to my eyes. I worked at a bakery on QA not too far from this place a while back and I have such fond memories of living on the hill and walking to work everyday, not to mention the comraderie among my co workers and the blast I had baking bread on a daily basis. When I walked into this bakery, just down the street from my old place of work, which is no longer, I felt it. I could tell the folks there were happy. it was cozy. the pastries looked wonderful and it smelled so good. it is perfect. a place I picture myself. and, the pastries were to die for. I recommend hitting up this place...not on Tuesdays though, as they are closed...and taking your treats to Twirl. Twirl has food, which I have yet to try, and I suppose a real luch is better for an amped up toddler than a sugary delight. but, you need to treat yourself too, right?

Twirl is a cute little spot. I have gone twice and the one time that I went right at opening, I was glad I did, because it gets crowded come 11. They have a cute play area, offer some classes for kids and adults alike and it has a nice new ambiance. Like I said, it does get crowded and sort of bottlenecked in the play area corridor, but it is worth a visit....
