| - I don't usually write 5* reviews from my bed while I'm still wiping croissant crumbs off my rack, after just one delivery "visit" but we live in strange times, and today was a stressful day. People decompress in different ways: mine was to check the Yelp! app to see if Squarz delivered, because I was dreaming about Joyce W's pictures from the other day.
So, as I sit here watching the end of "Titanic" on Lifetime, still hating Rose because she literally let go of Jack right after saying "I'll never let go," I decided to upload my pics and drop a quick review. Originally I ordered through Eat24, and the owner called to say they were out of cinnamon roll croissants; as he rattled off alternatives I remembered Joyce's picture of the creme brûlée croissant and chose that instead. I also ordered: spinach & feta, shepherds, and chicken pot pies, the prosciutto, mozzarella & fig sandwich, with fresh fruit, mac & cheese with bacon and creamy garlic mashed potato sides, and the creamy tomato soup. Annnd a kouign-amann and the aforementioned creme brûlée...Don't judge me, people, today sucked!
Anyway, all of the above arrived quickly, and piping hot. The owner delivered it himself, and told Scott he threw in a "couple (three!) of (chocolate) croissants because we were out of cinnamon." Super nice and appreciated. Everything was delicious, I took a quick bite of the spinach and feta pie, then literally tore open the dessert container to taste the caramelized kouign-amman, Scott's mouth was agape at my ferocity, ha! It.is.perfection. So, naturally I had to try the creme brûlée before eating my dinner: the top layer shattered, the croissant was flaky, and the pastry cream between layers took it to another level of dessert Nirvana. I did eventually taste my sandwich, which was a savory-sweet balance I loved, the soup, and the sides. Each item was truly noteworthy, Scott enjoyed the savory pies and desserts.
We are going back. I don't care if I have to live on the stairmaster, and drag my old butt to Pump more often, this is worth it. I'm already impressed with the customer service, and the food is phenomenal. You can taste the love in the products!
Now excuse me while I go into a carb coma...
