If it’s too cold to enjoy the great outdoors and you and your sweetheart are going a little stir crazy at home, make a trip to a local eat-in bakery. It’ll be a much-needed break from your usual routine of dining out at your favorite cafe or sports bar. Plus, you’ll be able to keep warm and indulge in some delicious treats at the same time.
Eat-in bakeries will usually seat you, and then a waitress come take your order. They typically offer various supplies of coffees, teas and hot chocolates, so you’ll be able to have something to drink as you enjoy your sweet of choice.  Think of tonight as a dessert date. Instead of a restaurant that smells like beer and fried food, you’re in a place that holds the tempting aroma of pies and cookies. What could be a better way to spend a snowy winter night?
When you first arrive, take a careful look at the drink and dessert menus; seek out new treats that you think sound tempting and ultimately decide together what you’d like to order. Step outside of your comfort zone and order something that you’ve never had before. If you’re really in the mood for some sweets, order a second small dessert that you already know you love. Relax with a cup of your favorite dessert-esque drink as you and your man chat about your weeks and take in the scent of the sugary bakery.
Consider trying a slice of Mississippi Mud pie with a macchiato or indulge in a piece of apple strudel with a nice, warm hot chocolate. If you’re a chocolate lover, order some brownie or hazelnut cake pops along with a choco-banana frappe or a chocolate cream pie paired with a dirty chai.
After the desserts arrive, share the treats with each other. Or if you want to indulge in a more private setting, take them to go. Experience a great night filled with delicious pastries, scrumptious drinks and your loving sweetheart!
