"They're magically delicious!" That Lucky Charms tagline is stuck in my head when I think of my experience here; so I share that gift with you. Fun fact, those marshmallows are called marbits, which is short for marshmallow bit. There, I've done my public service for the day!! I don't think the French would approve.
Okay, moving along-I did go to this business. My sister and I went towards the end of the business day and so I had to quickly take in the multitude of sweet offerings. The main attraction seems to be walking into this smaller area off the kitchen where the pastry case lives. It is a sight to behold, as it's filled with luxurious pâtisserie.
As I gaze upon this sight, I can't help but notice some reading material on the wall that offers context to the whole business that is, incredibly delicious. I mostly skimmed it as I needed to pay attention to the conversation that was happening at the pastry case that went like this, "What is that one? No, the one second from the right. Yes, the chocolate one. What is that? What is the one of the bottom, with the icing? What kind of scone is that?"
So I ask, mon ami, "Where are the pastry tags to identify the item?" It was gorgeous spread but not a sign to be found! What the??
Meanwhile, I'm noticing the gentleman behind the counter looks an awful lot like the gentleman in the article about the business (remember I was skimming). I ask if he's the owner, turns out it's a nephew. Isn't that parfait (I bet you didn't know that parfait translated is: perfect). Yet another benefit to my reviews).
We quickly dined indoors, which is a beautifully converted older home. I'm certain it has a history, not sure what it is though! There's outdoor seating as well, amongst the lush vegetation and swings. Seriously, it's a stunning amount of landscaping and I did say they have swings. I'm told they serve an amazing brunch as well, just in case you weren't convinced to go.
Then you ask, "What's up with the 4 stars if it's so magically...er...incredibly delicious?" I'd love some pastry signs to identify the pastries and thank you for the heads up that you were closing but I didn't need to be told three times by three different people. Honestly, I've been there as the closing crew, trying to kindly tell people to get ta steppin'. It's mostly for the signs. Easy fix!
