"After a snafu with some imported French flour that delayed the opening, this Pioneer Square bakery and cafe opened in March. It’s very French — croque monsieurs with salad for lunch, duck products in the little fridge, and a pastry case begging you to get a croissant. The croissants are exceptionally buttery and don’t fall into the American croissant trap of being just funny-shaped bread, but the thing we like the most here is the least traditional: a cruffin dusted with cinnamon sugar with such tight layers that it’s chewy and almost cinnamon-roll like." - Harry Cheadle
