Sweet but Not Expensive

Dolce Bakery’s $2 creamcheese brownie on the left and Dean and Deluca’s $3.75 one on the right
BY OWEN MORRIS
It’s a little trick of the trade. A restaurant opens and its prices are pretty cheap. Word spreads about the new restaurant with great prices. As the clientele grows and the restaurant becomes established, the prices start coming up to normal.
Dolce Bakery, 6974 Mission Road, has been open several months now. But even though its customer base seems to grow by the day, its prices have remained low. Creme Brule is $3, a big cream cheese brownie only $2, cupcakes $2.25.
Compare that to its cross-Johnson County-rival Dean and Deluca.
