Sugar Rush: Duane Park Patisserie's Espresso Brownie

An afternoon pick-up coupling chocolate and espresso into one dark fudgy square with a crackly top. Far too sweet for my taste buds, but hard to refuse when shared with a friend and accompanied by a hot tea to temper the sugar. Duane Park is better known for dessert catering services, and the bakery selections are a hit or miss, and on the pricey side. Regardless, it's a charming little spot and always smells wonderful.
