Open wide!
SPECIAL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT >>>
The glass cooler display cases overflowing with decadent desserts of all shapes, types and sizes stops you after swinging open the door at Affairs Café & Bakery. The goodies front and center isn't a shock since this small spot in University Place has been championing all things sweet for close to 20 years. And even though your goal might be breakfast or lunch - as Affairs has "Café" in its name - a slice of cake with a side of truffles for lunch is hard to resist.
But resist I did today - a wise decision.
The top of Affairs Special board for the next two days sits a beautiful blackened chicken taco salad ($13). The robust salad - with a massive pile of spring leafs, corn salsa (with cilantro lime juice!), cheddar, olives, tomato - sports spicy blackened chicken stripes and the perfect dollop of ranch pushed against a giant baked taco shell as if the thick statue upchucked the pile of goodness. The medium spice and creamy ranch create a wonderful dressing.
It's too tasty to be mistaken for health food.
[Affairs Café & Bakery, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, 2811 Bridgeport Way W., University Place, 253.565.8604]
