bake sale betty's

i'd heard about bake sale betty's in oakland from a friend and we'd tried but were never able to make it before today. i wanted to try the chicken sandwich since i'd heard good things and the pictures look so appetizing. they make a huge batch of fried chicken in the mornings and just sell sell sell all day long. this means the chicken sandwiches are not hot and are actually cold. the crisp on the chicken was good and it had a decent flavor that was spiced with cayenne pepper. instead of mayo or lettuce it was topped with a house made cole slaw. the cole slaw looks better than it was since i felt it was mostly bland. it was cabbage, parsley, red onions and green peppers with some type of oil/dressing to wet it. i felt it was lacking some type of creamy goodness or mayo. also i think they should have used cilantro instead of parsley to spruce it up a bit.

for dessert i got a pecan shortbread cookie which was divine!!! the also had strawberries short cake that my friend got and liked but i don't eat strawberries so i didn't try it even if it did look super tasty. they actually had several types of cookies and other one of desserts as well. one fun thing about bake sale betty's is that instead of tables you eat over an ironing board and sit on a stool. it's funny but it works and you just eat outside on the sidewalk in front of the store. if you look you can see that their menu is just handwritten on paper and posted if the front window there isn't even a menu inside.
