The Upper Crust Bakery’s frosted banana is one weird cookie

If you venture into the basement level of Pryde’s Old Westport, you can’t escape the wonderful smells wafting from The Upper Crust Bakery. The air is thick with the homey aroma of baking, which trails fingers under your nostril pulling you toward the tiny shop in the back of the store.

“How do you avoid crossing the line and being pulled back into the store?” my shopping companion asks one of the Pryde’s employees.

“I don’t,” he laughs, while patting the belly under his apron.
