This is one of those cute little cafés where the owner makes a lot out of such a little space. This place isn’t big at all. In fact, it’s probably the size of the living rooms in base housing—that’s including the café’s kitchen. When we walked in, my kids had nowhere to run. They were curious about the long table full of baked goods displayed beautifully with polka dot napkins resting in wicker baskets.

There were four seats in front of the kitchen and a little bench that would sit four more people a few feet across on the wall. We dined on scones, cookies and cheese bread which were all packaged so nicely, but when I told the owner that we would be eating them there, she heated everything up which made it all taste so much better than what it probably would have tasted at home.

1756 Café Sweets Factory also had bagel sandwiches, different types of scones—blueberry caramel, green tea, cream cheese, and plain. Then there were biscotti, cookies, gingerbread houses, macaroons of different flavors—honey, chocolate, green tea, muffins, vanilla snowballs, teas, coffees, Italian sodas, lattes, cappuccinos. This was a lot for such a little place.

We enjoyed everything we ordered and I’m sure we’ll be visiting this place often when we’re in the mood for a little something sweet.
