Raisin sticks at Cafe Zaiya are $4.75 for a five-piece bag. Long nubby numbers—golden, soft, and packed with raisins. In the afternoon they make an ideal nibble at the desk, cup of tea on the side. Save the leftover sticks for breakfast. Cut in half and then split once more lengthwise. Butter the inside generously and toast. Sprinkle a little sugar on top, and you're set!
