First time going here. Throughly enjoyed it. When you walk in, grab a tray and serve yourself out of the glass cases. Once you're loaded up with goodies, take your tray to a cashier who will box them up for you. If you rather enjoy your treats while you're there, they will be happy to warm up any items upon request. There is a seating area outside. Didn't try any coffee/tea, but they smelled great.
I will definitely be back.
Below is a description of the treats I tried. Also, see attached pictures. Bon appetite!
Blueberries and Cream Brioche:
Light, joyful and decadent. The star is the pastry cream and blueberry filling, which is absolutely packed inside the brioche. Sweet, not sugary. Well balanced. The brioche is delicate, not doughy. Strongly recommend this one. Would definitely order it again.
Strawberry Lemon Croissant:
The star is the lemony filling. Absolutely perfect. It's light, airy with a perfect balance of sweet and lemon. The crunchy texture of the mini-croissant balances out the silkiness of the filling. The fresh strawberries are honestly unneeded for this to be an outstanding pastry. However, the strawberry adds a fresh brightness which compliments the lemon perfectly. A perfect harmony of flavors and a definite recommendation. 10/10.
Lemon Iced Mochi Donut:
Didn't like this one. The dough tastes like a spongy version of funnel cake dough. The icing was sugary and didn't have a lemony flavor...more of an initial "zing" followed by uncomfortable sugariness. The icing was brittle and did not adequately adhere to the dough. Not a fan. I do not recommend.
Jalapeño Hawaiian Quiche:
Meaty, cheesy, and with just enough heat to keep things interesting. Well-balanced savory treat. Everything about this one just...works. You get "pops" of each ingredient flashing under the spotlight with each bite, each sharing the stage. Not too salty. Definitely recommend.
Ham and Cheese Croissant:
A classic. The ham is barely noticeable but the cheese shines through. Savory and light. Good but boring - a safe pick. The ratio of dough-to-filling is slightly off. This is something that few will hate, but it isn't cravable and certainly not the main reason to visit. But if you want a regular ole ham n' cheese on bread, you won't be disappointed with this.
Very Berry Pastry
Perfect bites. The fresh berries pop against the light and fluffy pastry cream. Perfect balance. Definitely recommend. 10/10
Maple Danish:
Puff pastry topped with maple goo and chopped pecans. What's not to love? Great balance. One of my favorites of the day. 10/10 Definitely recommend.
