BARBADOS - Now that we have all successfully gorged on the numerous gelato flavours available at Dolce Gelato, it is time to visit Franco’s other popular venture, The Pastry Box.
Located in Quayside Centre along the South Coast, The Pastry Box can best be described as a ‘taste experience.’ Franco offers the absolute best of Italian pastries, cakes and melt in your mouth desserts. Each treat is artistically designed and tastes even better. There are domes enrobed in layers of white and dark chocolate, flavoured meringues (passionfruit, YUM!), pastry cups filled with cream and fresh fruit, and fresh made biscotti (perfect with a steaming cup of coffee). Franco takes great pride in each delicacy and he constantly checks the display to make sure that everything is just right. So as to ensure authenticity and great taste, Franco even recruited pastry chefs from Italy who travelled to Barbados to train local personnel. The results have been phenomenal. The Pastry Box is well-known for their high quality treats that taste great and are very affordable.
Easily identifiable by their white boxes emblazoned with The Pastry Box logo, the numerous treats on offer are perfect for special occasions or just because. Your sweet tooth will thank you, trust me! Each day, the menu is full of new surprises and Franco is a wealth of knowledge about each treat. This is the perfect introduction to Italian culture.
So be sure to stop by The Pastry Box on your next visit to the island. Just walk by the glass windows and I guarantee the items on display will draw you in. Take home a box of assortments and you will not be disappointed. After all, as the great man Charles Schulz (I adore Charlie Brown) once said, “All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”
