Doughboys Bakery

Tsz and I had dinner at Doughboys Bakery on Highland Ave. I think you could pass by this restaurant and miss seeing it because it's nestled between several entertainment companies like Crew Creative and Point 360. They have tables outside or inside and they let you choose wherever you want to sit. The place is open and airy. They have a pretty substantial menu and breakfast served all day which is a plus. I ordered the pumpkin pancakes because I'm a sucker for anything that has pumpkins or is seasonal. They served it with a huge dollop of cream cheese frosting which was delicious and I'm sure incredibly fattening and probably the worst choice for someone looking to eat healthy, but if you're planning to splurge then it's a good choice. The pancakes had walnuts in it which was nice. The syrup came in a bottle that looked kind of like a shampoo bottle, which we both liked. Tsz ordered clam chowder soup that came in a bowl as large as a bucket. Definitely come to Doughboy's hungry!

The service was a little slow, but I couldn't tell if they like to give you time to have actual conversations without a waiter hovering over you, or if they just weren't attentive. The prices for the amount of food you get are very reasonable. Another downside was that the tables are so close together that on a busy night you can't help overhearing everyone's conversations around you. Luckily no one was sitting directly next to us so I felt better.
