BOTTOM LINE: Tasty pastries and more!
As part of the Pearl Morissette wine/food group comes this really fantastic bakery and cafe that's worth checking out if you're in the area. The interior is very on trend with white oak walls and seating, with a splash of rustic decor. They even have an outdoors seating area with a fire pit and engraved blankets, which is pretty sweet.
At its most basic, you can stop by for a coffee and pick up some freshly baked pastries. The humble CROISSANT - as a litmus test for any bakery's chops - was done very well here, with a good balance of butteriness and light flakiness. They also have some really nice DANISHES that aren't just Insta-worthy, but really tasty as well. I tried their gluten-free FINANCIER, which really hid that GF aspect well, so colour me impressed!
They also offer a sit-down menu (though seating can be tight!) comprised of various sandwiches and small plates, but which I can attest used some really fresh ingredients. Case in point, at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, their side greens were some of the freshest and tastiest I've had (I know, I know, they're *just* greens, but still...). Furthermore, and as part of their larger business, they offer a selection of their wines, making this not just a great cafe, but a great place to sip away your afternoon!
