"Bread and wine, bread and wine your thoughts ain't nearly as wicked as mine'
(The Cowboy Junkies)
The Pixie Boulangerie has breads, but no wine, however the intoxicating aromas of their European baked goods will surely make your head spin as fast as a strong Madeira would.
This place is a gem, pure and simple. We chatted with one of the owners, a delightful woman from Switzerland who told us a little about the different breads, babkas, tarts, galettes, croissants, pies, quiches, and cookies all around us.
We decided on a chocolate croissant ($5) "Layers of buttery laminated dough in a cylinder around fine chocolate batons. Crispy and flaky, with a strong chocolaty flavor core", a Jambon Gruyère Croissant ($7) "German Black Forest ham and Swiss Gruyère cheese rolled inside a croissant", an Apricot Swirl ($3) "Bits of croissant dough swirled around a dollop of apricot jam in a little cup" and a big slab of Pesto Parmesan Focaccia (fresh from the oven) for $6.
Each and every one was excellent -the croissants were flaky and grease-free, the Apricot Swirl was flaky, delicious and super moist, and that focacchia was savory and plain delicious.
We really enjoyed shopping here, and of course we really enjoyed eating what we bought here!
