If you're looking for stale and refrigerator cold pastries, this is the place and bonus, they're pretty expensive too!
We have been to there downtown/south location, but for the burnet location, this was our first visit and definitely the last one!
I preordered yesterday for picking up today, in the order it says, we get a mail when the order is ready but you don't get mail nor there phones work!
Lady at the front counter told, she'll call here associate as she's the one who put my order together, and associate hadn't put my order together yet and it was past my pick up time as I was waiting for my pickup mail.
so then they took a cheap paper bag and dumped everything together other than cream puff (Kouign amann, beignet, pecan maple morning bun and crobrios) and handed me over saying, it's all sugar, what an enlightening!
Oh god! All the pastries were cold as if took it out from the refrigerator. So had to warm them up in oven ourselves!
Cream puff: i felt, it was not a day old, it's days old, me and my kiddo took a bite and spit it out before swallowing, it was old, stale and such a strong strong smell of eggs.
Beignets: honestly it looked like beignets, but it dint taste like one and god knows what it is, I wasn't expecting the beignets you get in new Orleans but nor this one either!
Kouign amann: it's a stale sugar caramalized edged crossaint with absolutely no crispiness what so ever.
Crobrios : this was decent, but refrigerator cold, and cream wasn't filled fully, definitely not a worth $5.50 worth.
Pecan maple bun: same stale, cold crossaint bun with pecans, but was eatable!
So go to a grocery store and pay 1/4th of what you pay here, warm it up and definitely tastes much much better than this place!
Definitely don't recommend this place to anyone!
