Let Them Eat Cake

I found myself between appointments today - not enough time to head back to the office but enough that heading to the next property meant sitting in the car waiting...and waiting. Instead, I stopped in at Parrot Pete's for an afternoon snack. After all, they do have a very nice selection of sandwiches and salads and it was past the lunch hour rush so I knew I could get in and out pretty quickly. My intention was to get a salad.

What's that old saying? Oh, yeah. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Parrot Pete's Gourmet Bakery

I decided today that my favorite part of being a grown up is being able to sit outside, watch the fountains and have triple berry cake with strawberry-kiwi iced tea for lunch.

Who could resist this?

Parrot Pete's Gourmet Bakery is located at 1901 Manhattan Blvd in the Fountain Park Centre and is open from 7 am - 7 pm.

If I were visting you, I'd want to go and enjoy a piece of that cake. It looks like either butter cream or cream cheese icing. I'll take both!

OH YUM!!! That looks good! I like being a grown-up and being able to make good, healthy decisions on what to have for lunch. :) Looks like you made a great decision on what to have for lunch! I did have a salad for lunch yesterday and then ice cream for dessert with lots & lots of chocolate syrup on it!!! :)

Lisa, It looks wonderful! I have a sweet tooth so I would LOVE this place too. I am trying to spend as much time as possible outdoors--before it gets cold here again!

Sally, it was a nice little break in the middle of the afternoon. No crowds...just the sound of the water, my tea and that scrumptious cake :)
