TLDR: Delicious and fresh food, huge mouthwatering pastries, and lovely atmosphere. Plus very kind service! This has become a go-to for me on my trip to Jackson.
FOOD:
I can tell that the food here is really high quality and fresh. Below are the things I've tried and what I recommend.
PASTRIES
- [HIGHLY RECOMMEND] Morning Bun (5/5): tastes like cinnamon toast crunch, somehow crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, just enough cinnamon sugar on the outside, I loved it
- Maple Walnut Scone (4.5/5): Maple frosting on the top is sweet and heavenly, perfectly balanced by the buttery scone and the walnut+cranberry accents throughout the scone
- Cheddar Chive Scone (4.5/5): Completely savory scone with a delicious cheddar taste, like a rich, dense goldfish cracker. We loved it.
- Croissant (4/5): Really solid croissants but wish it could have been a bit more flakey. Liked how it was crispy on the outside though
- Chocolate Banana Bread (4/5): Delicious banana bread, and the chocolate frosting on top was unexpected but tasty.
NON-PASTRIES
- [HIGHLY RECOMMEND] Kale and Cauliflower Hash (5/5): Could not recommend more. As someone with a sweet tooth, it means a lot that I would say if I could only get 1 thing from Persephone it would be this.
- [HIGHLY RECOMMEND] Egg Sandwich (5/5): Awesome sandwich on a croissant, we added avocado and they were generous with the avocado, which was creamy and added a great texture to the sandwich.
- Avocado Salmon Bowl (4.5/5): Cooked smoked salmon with lentils, avocado, onions, toast, cucumbers/tomatoes, and lots of cheese (not too strong!)
- Coconut Porridge (3/5): I think the only thing I wasn't as big of a fan of from Persephone, but that's because I couldn't get used to the coconut milk in the porridge. If you're a fan of that, ginger, and citrus zest, then you'll like this. It was probably exactly what I needed before skiing though -- lots of slow digesting carbs!
ATMOSPHERE & ENVIRONMENT:
- Cute, festive, cozy. Everything you could want from a local bakery / food spot.
- Lots of seating around the edges of the room, not very busy from 7-8 am but gets busier later in the morning
SERVICE:
- You can pick up pastries right when you pay, but the food will be brought to your table once it's ready. Cutlery and water is on a self-serve basis (cutlery on the sides and water in the back)
- All the staff are lovely and very nice
OTHER:
- They donate any leftovers from the day to a local organization which is awesome
