Heidelberg Pastry Shoppe, an Arlington establishment, serves up pastries, cookies, over-sized cupcakes and any other sugary sweet you can imagine. Right now, in preparation for Easter, the store is swamped with chocolate bunnies and hot cross buns.

While the bakery features row upon row of sweet stuff, the highlight is the brats. They are served piled with sauerkraut, squirted with mustard and stuck on a fresh baked roll. Order one, sit down on at the tables (beware, space is limited) and munch away. And, at least on the weekends, help yourself to tiny cups of complementary coffee.
