Ms. Jillian Farrell is going to tsk-tsk me for how late I am posting this, but, in my defense, my brain is mush from studying for exams :(. Sunday, Stan and I met Jill and her friend Mary for breakfast at Bolo Bakery, a Portuguese bakery in Plainville right next to the hair salon I used to live on top of a few years ago. Initially, we went there to acquire cupcakes like the one seen in Jill’s post, but it was 11am and Stan and I hadn’t eaten breakfast.

I ordered “The Portuguese” — 2 fried eggs, prosciutto, and Portuguese Gouda cheese served on a Portuguese roll; and a bowl of fruit. It was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had, hands down. As for cupcakes, I had to get the Red Velvet after Jill raved about it so much, and I also bought a Pistachio one because I’d never had a pistachio cupcake before. They were only $4 each and ENORMOUS {I took a picture holding it for reference}. It took me two days to eat the red velvet, and I couldn’t finish the pistachio, but they were both insanely delicious. The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet was very thick, but not too cream cheese-y, while the pistachio frosting was a chocolate mousse.

Anyway, I highly recommend Bolo — either for breakfast or for desserts {they have tons of other yummy pastries, doughnuts, tarts, etc.} and their lunch menu looks pretty spectacular, too. They’re located at 33 Whiting Street in Plainville.

…Now back to studying for my exams!
