Contreras is what you want if you're looking for the best in anything from cookies to cakes. The friendly people who work there are a real pleasure, but the food is what really shines out. They have an assortment of bite-sized baked foods behind the counter, priced at under a dollar. My favorite, though, are the cakes. They made a great occasion cake for us. Even though the cake was not the focus of the event, everyone commented on how good it was. It may cost a little more than at other, larger-scale bakeries, but it is worth every penny.
