"A new French-style bakery opening in Central East Austin at 1212 Chicon Street offers a full range of pastries and beverages. Operating since 2012 as a customizable bakery service and known for specialty cakes, the shop will sell cakes, croissants (including triple-chocolate Nutella and almond varieties), macarons, cream puffs, decorated cookies and other buttery treats, plus tea, coffee (including flavored lattes), hot chocolate and sodas. A planned tea service with pastry towers is temporarily on hold due to COVID-19 safety measures. Owned and operated by Nelly Garcia — a 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree — along with her sister Linda Garcia and their mother Rosa Nelly Caballero, the team previously worked under Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss. The storefront opens Saturday, February 13, will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will host a virtual ribbon-cutting on Facebook Live the preceding Friday." - Erin Russell
