 Thanks Baton Rouge and 225 Magazine for voting us as the "BEST PASTRIES" for 2010!  Read more...

Many people may not know that Ambrosia has expanded its menu to include all sorts of lunchtime offerings, including salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers and quesadillas. That might be because to get to the lunch menu board, you have to pass the bakery displays. Easier said than done: if the giant cupcake versions of all their specialty cakes don’t grab you, the éclairs or the ganache mousse torte will. Fully half of 225 readers polled (50%) think this is definitely the place to eat dessert first. They may not have snagged as many votes, but walk into your workplace with a box from Baum’s Fine Pastries and Chocolates and watch your colleagues’ faces light up. Whole Foods Market may have arrived in Baton Rouge with a reputation as haven of tofu and wheatgrass, anyone who has stood at the pastry case spying pies piled high with fresh whipped cream, decadent cakes and fresh chocolates knows this place will kill you as fast as any of them!
