When I visit someplace for the 1st time, I tend to want to taste a little of everything! I desired to go home with so much more; however, my first trip consisted of:
FAVORITES:
* Croissant Cinnamon Roll ($8) - wonderful layer of cream cheese frosting atop a large buttery croissant roll, with delightful candied parts from carmelized sugar;
* Monkey Bread Croissant ($6) - soft & flavorful, with similar candied sections, offering enjoyable textures;
* Butter Croissant ($5.75) - soft & delicately flakey;
We also tasted:
- Blue Corn Masa Cornbread ($5) - with dollup of butter -- moist with a definite corn flavor;
- Sundried tomato danish ($6.50) - tasty cheesy tomato topping, which offered appreciated savory flavors to our spread of sweet items.
While it's one of their signature treats, my least liked:
- Ube Cruffin ($7)
They also offer sample tastes (and purchase) of their 2 olive oils: The Lorenzo (lighter) and The Brooklyn (darker).
The staff was impressively positive and friendly, appreciatively patient (especially during this 1st visit), helpful, and efficient. They offer only outdoor seating in a narrow section in front and a fenced in section on the side of their shop. In addition, it's all parallel street parking. I parked at Lacy & Vance (about a 5 minute walk away, according to Google Maps -- I didn't time myself); my walk to/from the shop was very enjoyable along the quiet streets of this peaceful neighborhood, reminding me to be mindful and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the plants that surrounded me. Fabulous find! I'm eager to taste their breads -- and, of course, more pastries!
