It's been a tiring day after a stressful weekend. I need a brownie. Your vote for best local brownie?
Icing-less preferred. Nuts optional. Ideally just straight up brownie, no caramel or other swirlies. I'm downtown, Clintonville is home. Somewhere between here and there would be nice but I'm willing to travel for the right brownie. I just can't handle the disappointment of a bad brownie today.

wow. I have no idea where you can just go buy a brownie! I looked at Cap City's menu, but they don't have brownies on there. Their chocolate cake is really good though!
Maybe Mozart's in North Market?
Or call The French Loaf and see if they have brownies?

I've found lots of Giant Eagle pastries are very decadent, and if that isn't to your liking you can try Mozarts right next door. or Alladin's(next door as well) has amazing pastries.

Excellent suggestions, thank you! I'm going to head for the trinity of Mozarts/Aladdins/Giant Eagle, I'm sure to find the perfect brownie fix in there somewhere.
and PattyCake is like 1 more block north of those on Tulane(just North of Hungry Howies Pizza), just sayin... Then pick up some Lavash for dinner...

I don't know about the brownies, but the warm chocolate chip cookies and glass of single malt are doing it for me today.

I've gotten them at Zanzibar a couple of times recently. Pretty tasty, although a bit out of your way:

I don't eat them too often, but I'll pick them up occasionally at various coffee shops for a snack.

Is that the new place in between Lavash and Hungry Howies? Lavash has an impressive pastry selection too.

Brownie fix satisfied.
I started at Mozart's in Clintonville. Their signature brownie is the German Chocolate Brownie, so a brownie with German Chocolate icing. Looked yummy, not what I was after.
Then I hit Aladdin's. They only had bars. Tempting, tasty looking bars. No brownies.
Then I made a beeline for pattycake as it was mere minutes before closing time. A little name tag on an empty plate said spelt fudge brownies. I almost cried. Then I noticed them chilling in the cooler and all was right in the world. One brownie purchased.
On my leisurely walk back to the car I did a double take when I passed a pastry shop, I blew right by it on the way to pattycake. It was the above mentioned Simple Sweets in the same strip as Lavash. So since they were brand new with a still crisp "Now Open" sign I thought I'd throw them some brownie business. It was very clean and brand new inside, right down to a sharp disinfectant-y smell. Not exactly the smell you're hoping for when you walk into a bakery shop inhaling deeply. Maybe paint was still drying, maybe they just cleaned for the night, I'm not going to hold it against them, it was just unexpected. Pretty, well lit display case with cakes and torts and cookies and the desired brownies. I was offered a free cookie but just opted for the brownie. This is perhaps a little (or a lot) picky, but most of the brownies were corners, like the brownie was cooked in a pan then cut into 4ths. I'm more of a middle, no sides brownier, but that's just me. Their brownie is on the left, corner mostly intact.
In a head to head competition there was no runaway winner. Together they satisfied my brownie need but neither brownie by itself would have done it. If I had to pick one to get again it would be pattycake. It's sooooo fudgy which gave me pause, and the need for more napkins, I wanted brownie not fudge. But it ends up being just a super moist brownie like you're eating solidified brownie batter. There's something to be said about a little cakieness to a brownie though.
On the flip side the Simple Sweets brownie was a little too cakey, with a little crusty top and bottom. Other than that it was more traditional brownie texture and general brownie tasting.
So between the super good brownie taste of the pattycake brownie and the more cake like texture of the inside of the Simple Sweets brownie I got my brownie fix after a couple of bites of each. I'm wondering if I put what's left in the fridge together overnight if they would procreate leaving me the perfect little brownie for breakfast.

I don't eat sweets very often, and when I do, I prefer richness over sweetness. Mozart's pastries taste just sickly sweet to me.

I was going to mention Simple Sweets and the raspberry cheesecake on top of a brownie. Didn't have it, but it looked big and more than replaces a meal. Brown Bag makes a decent brownie if I remember, not sure if Pistacia Vera has any.
