"Yes, The Buttermillk Ranch is a fantastic sit-down brunch restaurant, but thanks to the takeaway counter, you can also drop in solely for those perfectly laminated croissants, in all manners of shapes, staring at you from the case. The bulbous pistachio one is a favorite, but so is the churro, served with a side of chocolate for dipping. If you’ve already waited in line for a table to try their square breakfast sandwich, you can stockpile your pastries onto your order to take with you after you pay your bill, and skip a second wait time at the counter. But even if you’re leaving with a to-go box, there’s no excuse to skip dessert, especially when there are holiday specials." - ann walczak, bailey freeman
