Persephone is the highest rated bakery in the area, so having a major sweet tooth, I gravitated here like a magnet. We arrived here for brunch, and were impressed by the architecture and overall ambience. Its beautiful, white exterior adorned with flowers, and its outside seating area with ample seating facing a view of the mountains set the tone for a charming experience.
Inside, it was a bit more cramped and packed to the brim with customers looking to get their fill of delicious pastries, decadent lattes, and sandwiches. After the friendly staff went over a few recommended options, I'd settled with a hazelnut iced latte, a double chocolate chip cookie /w walnuts, tuna salad sandwich, and an avocado bowl.
The hazelnut iced latte was one of the best iced coffees I've had, rich and with large hints of Ferrero Rocher chocolates with every sip.
The double chocolate chip cookie /w walnuts was fantastic and a very popular option here. It's gooey in the best way, dense, and generous on the chocolate chip and walnut filling. Everything worked and I'll be sure to order this on every future visit.
Now for savory; the tuna salad sandwich was a top 2 I've ever tried. It was a bit salty, but it worked. Bread (find out) had great texture, it was light on mayo which gave room to explore flavors from all the other ingredients such as sliced cucumbers, capers, red onion, and sun dried tomatoes. Loved this.
The seeded avocado bowl was both beautifully plated and delicious. It had an assortment of fresh and tasty ingredients that blended well together such as avocado slices embedded in everything spice, colorful cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, smoked salmon, feta cheese, crisp, rye biscuits, sliced soft boiled eggs, capers, and pickled red onions. Healthy and an absolute winner.
