AFFAIRS CAFE & BAKERY

Affairs Café & Bakery is a comfy place to catch up with a friend over breakfast and lunch.  Also, their chocolates are as close to a vice as you can get without actually sinning.  2811 Bridgeport Way W., University Place, 253.565.8604.

CORINA BAKERY

It’s sweet-meets-red velvet-bliss. You can taste it in every mouthful of hummingbird cake or the berry cheesecake with a hint of almond that smoothes over the tart, rough edges you may find in other cheesecakes. Pounds come and go, but pleasure is timeless. 510 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.627.5070.

HELLO, CUPCAKE

With its crystal chandeliers, mint green walls and gorgeous cupcakes, hello, cupcake is just precious. Cupcakes in various flavors and colors are artfully displayed. 1740 pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.383.7772.
