| - Hello fellow yelpers!
After four consecutive weeks of going to this bakery every Wednesday, I want to share just how great this bakery is.
Chef Flemming loves his work, and it shows in every beautiful piece of pastry he displays, and in every bite that I take after buying a whole box full of them. He cares about the intricate details and takes his time to make every part of every pastry fresh daily. I've yet to see bread older than a day out on the shelves, and how he finds time to make new bread every morning is beyond me. Hardly anything is left on the shelves by 4pm, so get there in the morning for your loaves and cookies.
When i first stopped in, I ordered the following: cream puff, neopolitan, eclair, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, a black and white cookie, yule log (mini cake), pistachio cheesecake, cream horn, fruit tart, and some petit fours. EVERYTHING--literally--was fantastic. He makes the pastry and the cream and chocolate from scratch every morning, and he adds his twist to the pastries. For example, his cream puffs are not only filled with pastry cream and whipped cream, but he adds a sliver of strawberry in there and it makes the whole experience divine. His nut rolls, oh--the pistachio cheesecake is killer--and his cookies are out of this world. I ordered two cakes for Christmas this year because I wanted one for our house and one to take to our friend's on Christmas day.
You have to take the trip to Water Street for his bakery. I promise you won't be disappointed. Everything is excellent. Oh, and as for his bread--the challah bread is the best I've ever used for my orange french toast. You MUST try it.
Not only is the atmosphere homey and inviting, but it's rare to find a bakery so intimate in Las Vegas. Chef pops his head out now and then to say hi to the customers. He's humble. I parked one day in the back and saw that he keeps his prices down probably because he doesn't have help in the kitchen. I assume that because I saw him mopping and cleaning by himself.
Have fun, and go nuts when you stop by this bakery. It's now a weekly ritual that is a must in my plans. I drive from North Las Vegas every Wednesday just for his bread, cream puffs, and nut rolls, among the other things i grab because he makes new things all the time. Take the trip and bon apetit!
