Lost Larson
Everything at Lost Larson looks exactly right: cool and refined, but you want to sit and stay a while. The shop has the kind of decorum that will keep you from—understandably—wanting to press your face against the glass display case and feast on pastries, cookies, cakes and bread, all of which make you consider how much is a reasonable amount to spend on all these confections. Everything about the Andersonville bakery and cafe is modern, but woven through with unmistakable Scandinavian roots. If you’ve ever fantasized about running off to Denmark or Sweden, Lost Larson just might tide you over for a moment. (Jenny Dally)
