Prantl’s is a full-service bakery, offering everything from donuts to wedding cakes. Of special note are Danish crullers, apple strudel, iced cinnamon rolls, and coffee cakes of every type. Prantl’s also makes a zesty lemon tea cake that has legions of devoted fans.

The house specialty is a burnt almond torte: a soft, almond-flavored, vanilla custard-filled butter cake, topped with buttercream frosting and toasted sugared almonds. It is available whole or in smaller sizes for takeaway snacks.

Must-Try
A small version of the house signature burnt almond torte. The almonds aren't really burnt, but they are very toasty. The stealth ingredient of the pastry is moist, fresh, butter cake at its core.
