One of the new and rare Eastern European patisseries, 20th Century Cafe, piqued my interest with their high and mighty Russian honey cake. After devouring layers of fluffy cake with a hint of orange blossom honey, I also tried the savory albeit small potato knish, which is similar to an empanada but with lighter dough.  These two might not go well together in one sitting, but believe me when I say that these are must eats at this quaint Hayes Valley cafe.
