I went in this morning and was really happy that I went out of my normal path to get here.
They were just finished baking apple turnovers and I snatched one up in addition to a fresh croissant, macaron, and Americano.
The scent of caramelized sugars, butter, and flour just fills the entire bakery. The warm apple turn over was delicious. Flakey with real chunks of apples and perfectly balanced with cinnamon. It was not the jammy soggy wonder bread overly sweet lumps found in most places.
The croissant is probably the best I've had west of the 427 and I dare say comparable to decent bakeries downtown. It was flakey, wonderfully layered, buttery, light, and just made. And it was two times the size of my palm. I really liked it.
I didn't eat the maracon yet but it's on my dessert plate tonight. They had butter tarts, rustic fruit tarts, tarte tatin, organic loaves, and tons of cakes.
The other great thing I'd the service. Even before 9 am, the service was pleasant , friendly, and patient as they explained everything. The baker even purposely chose items on the racks fresh from the oven instead of ones that were cooled only an hour!
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely going back!
