4 stars for the bakery.. Added an extra star for the amazing customer service.
Walking in I was greeted and helped out by Paolo, who happens to be the head pastry chef of the new bakery. There wasn't a huge selection of pastries to choose from, but Paolo took the time to describe each item on display. After a few minutes of deliberating and fighting off the urge to taste everything I ended up choosing their cheese roll, maple cake donut, cronut, and a medium mango boba.
Cheese Roll - 4.5/5
Crisp on the outside, with a flaky bite throughout with a sweet cheese filling. Apparently one of the best sellers.. This is the closest thing you can get to Portos' famous little pastry without making the drive to Cali. MUST TRY!
Cake Donut - 4.0/5
Looked a little dry on the outside but was surprisingly very moist throughout. Overall a good donut
Cronut - 4.8/5
Got lucky as they were making a fresh batch when I walked in. Quite flaky with a slight chewy consistency...amazing! Limited in quantity so be sure to grab one if they're available. My only regret was not buying more to take home
Mango Boba Slush - 3.5/5
Definitely does not rival the boba teas/slushes you can get at Chinatown, but worth getting if you're in the area and need to satisfy that boba craving
Overall a pleasant experience. There are few things the bakery needs to work on like presentation and organization, but that's expected with a new business.
10/10 will return again
