I've been to La Baguette several times - always to get a pastry to go. The owners are a little snooty (okay - a lot snooty), but I've generally been pleased with the quality. Another reviewer who commented on the cash only, but not liking to give change situation is spot on.
This morning I got there early and the cases were mostly empty. The woman who runs the front of house said, "Everything's ready - we just haven't brought it out yet." I ordered a pain au chocolat, paid, and she brought a warm bag from the back. I thought, "Wow - straight out of the oven. Score!"
I took the pastry home in eager anticipation. I drew it from the bag. The top was golden and flaky, and the bottom was - RAW. Seriously - that thing needed at least another 20 minutes in the oven.
I paid $3.25 for a pastry that was inedible - but I was too far away and pressed for time to do anything about it. They should NEVER have sold it to me - and there is no way they didn't know.
Shame on you, La Baguette. Never again.
