    Does their food live up to the prices? We went into the bakery in Herndon on Saturday to their bakery in search of connoli. We found them. We asked for two and they put them in a box to ring us up. The price? $10.40. For TWO connoli? For the first time in a long time, I just refused to pay and we left. We went to Wegman's and got some ridiculously good ones for $2/each, which to me, is more like it.

    So, did I miss out?

    Amphora is good... but no. $5 is too much. Their problem is they charge "Table prices" for desserts taken to go at a bakery counter.

    Think about it. If you were sitting at a restaurant and ordered a cannoli you'd be fine paying $5. However, you were looking for bakery prices... this has always been my problem with them.

    Amphora is way over rated and their prices reflect it. Now if it's 2AM and you've been partying it's a bargain when compared to the alternative of 7-11 food.

    Totally agree with you guys about amphora.

    I have always been a fan of their fruit bavarian cake. But last week I tasted the same stuff from whole foods bakery, which was outta this world!! Whole foods bakery is expensive too but the quantity and taste is much better than amphora for the same price.
