After seeing this place over and over again on Instagram, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I kept seeing all of these amazing pastries on their Instagram page through promotions and I just kept thinking "man!!I gotta try them out!" WELL THE TIME FINALLY CAME!!!
Finding the place was a bit tricky as it's right on Madison! Not off to the side, not on the corner, but right on Madison. And the store front doesn't stick out for the other establishments next to it. The parking isn't the best either but I made it work.
Walking into the bakery, I will be honest, it wasn't what I was expecting. Because it says bakery but it's more like a cafe. I haven't been to too many bakeries that offer drinks, and meals.
It's also very....Seattle. Out of the ordinary, something you wouldn't expect, but something that makes sense for Seattle.
Now when I go to bakeries I like to purchase multiple options for myself and family to try. They do have a lot of options but you also need to get there at a certain time as some items do sell out. I wasn't able to get the cinnamon roll but that's okay. I'll get it next time.
Ordered
2 snickerdoodles
1 lemon cookie
1 lavender cookie
1 red velvet cupcake
1 almond croissant
The service was kind and fast, she packaged my items and I was on my way.
The cupcake was delicious! I hate shops that give a small amount of frosting for cupcakes. This place has it down! The frosting was nice, thick, and plentiful, the cupcake itself was quite dense and so the two pair well together. My partner ate it very fast and asked for another lol
The snickerdoodles were perfect! Soft and delicious. My brother said the lemon cookie was good as well with an exception of the large sugar crystals. I felt the lavender cookie was too small, but it was good nonetheless.
Now....that almond croissant...it is the best croissant I've ever had. Double baked, topped with almond slices and powdered sugar. Stuffed with the almond filling, omg. It is a airy, crispy, soft, and delicious all at the same time. I would literally come here just for the croissant!!
BUT CAUTION!!! The croissant is only available on Tuesday and Thursdays. But so worth the wait in between! I highly recommend them!
I took 1 star off because again, I feel the lavender cookie is small, and the cookies in general are pretty standard in taste. Also, the boxes for cupcakes don't hold the cupcakes very well. I do plan on going back, for another croissant of course lol
