| quality. It's since gone out of business, COVID I think. But for
| a while, a couple of years ago, somebody in the back owned a
| madeleine pan and knew how to use that sucker. On the dessert
| bar, in addition to the usual pies and cakes, next to the soft-
| serve ice cream, there were madeleines; usually chocolate,
| crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Delightful.
