This café, in The Tannery Marketplace, touts itself as the home of the Whoopie Pie. These words are not taken lightly in New England, where many an argument can spring up as to who ‘owns’ this dessert - “a US baked product that may be considered either a cookie, pie or cake” - which consists of two round cakes glued together with flavoured cream, like an inflated cookie. Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire & Massachusetts all vie for ownership, while Maine claims a victory in naming it the official state treat.
This café scratch-bakes them with no trans fats and at only 130-160 calories each - with a gluten-free selection also available - it's no wonder they are award-winning. While I’m not known for having a sweet tooth, I was given chocolate with raspberry cream and it passed inspection with flying colours.
