| - Where has this place been all my life. Sunflour bakery is definitely going to "put a crimp" in my supposed gluten-free lifestyle. We went because a friend of ours got a job there and we wanted to check it out and support him in his new state of employment.
Housed in a nondescript strip shopping center in the Elizabeth neighborhood, the interior was very pleasing, comfortable, and unpretentious. There was just the right amount of hustle and bustle to make things seem busy and cheerful without being overpowering. Nothing too cute or faux shabby chic about this place, just perfect baked goods and coffee.
Unless you regularly travel to Paris, this is the place you need to go for the best croissant you have ever taken into your mouth. We had the ham and Gruyere, and a chocolate one for dessert. I only have one word...wow. Flaky, crispy, buttery and heavenly. They are not to be missed. Coffee was superb and the cappuccino was perfectly prepared, rich, dark espresso with a magnificent thick head of expertly frothed milk.
We took a slice of carrot cake to go and ate it later at home. It didn't disappoint either. very moist, not too sweet, and obviously made with stellar, fresh ingredients and lots of love for their customers. I can't wait to go back and "blow" my diet out of the water next weekend.
