Sweets and breads from all over the world, and good coffee? Cute, amicable counter staff? Trendy neighborhood? Check, check, and check!\n\nNova's Bakery is an occasional indulgence for me-I visit when I'm loafing around Plaza Midwood and jonesing for some sweets and coffee. I LOVE tiramisu and chocolate croissants. Nova's excels in preparing both of these treats. Freshly baked and served, yum yum. I've had the coffee-real smooth. It sure ain't Folger's or other cheap battery-acid-laced substitutes and they normally have several varieties to choose from. The lattes are good as well: they use a medium roast espresso. \n\nBoth times I've been, the staff have been in a jovial mood and seemed to really want to take my order. (Maybe they could teach their skillz to other restaurants in Plaza Midwood) If you don't like sweets, they have breads from all over the world. I think its the most well-rounded (cosmopolitan? international?) selection of any bakery I've seen in town. Pumpernickel, rye, focaccia, sourdough, you name it! \n\nBe certain to load up on carbs and caffeine at Nova's if you're on Central Avenue. Nice place to bring a date after the meal or a group of friends, I'll be back soon (hopefully doing both of these).
