If you consider yourself a sweet tooth, a dessert enthusiast, or are constantly finding yourself getting fillings for cavities, I’ll let you in on one of Columbus’ best-kept secrets: The Bearded Baker.
In a city that’s overflowing with unbelievable spots like Resch’s, Jeni’s, and Belle’s Bread, it can be hard to get yourself to visit some of the lesser known spots.
But know this: the Bearded Baker deserves to be as popular as any other spot in the city.
It’s so magical, Houdini would retire if he had tasted it…
I stumbled upon this sugary paradise during a casual stroll through the East Market, and boy, am I glad I did. Picture this: carrot cake, pistachio and honey cheesecake, strawberry shortcake cheesecake, and a chocolate chip cookie sandwich – all in one sitting.
And before you ask, the answer is yes, I went from a 32 to a 34 waist in about 25 minutes.
The carrot cake? Absolute perfection. With carrot shavings on top (hello, health food!), it was like biting into a slice of heaven. And the pistachio and honey cheesecake? Don’t even get me started. Creamy, nutty, and downright addictive.
But the real showstopper? The strawberry shortcake cheesecake. Sweet strawberries? Check. Creamy cheesecake? Double check. It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Why should I believe your opinion about dessert, Step Out Columbus?”
You shouldn’t!
Why?
Because that means the lines will be shorter at The Bearded Baker for the rest of us who know of it’s wizardry.
So, if you’re in need of a sugar fix that’s guaranteed to blow your mind, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to The Bearded Baker.
