| - Driving around Mission looking for trouble (just kidding!) and saw Cruffs. Hmmm... Tonight was the night I would make my way in there and see what all this fuss was about. We are not dessert people but we thought we would treat ourselves to a half dozen cream puffs depending on the look of them. We were greeted graciously by the owner Mario and he explained the menu and the types of cream puffs he serves as well as the fillings. Whoaaaa - did I see Baileys filling? I was sold from the get-go when I small that small vat of deliciousness! We stuck somehow to our half dozen so we were able to get one of each mini puff that was colourfully displayed. The fillings we mixed up - these were comprised of strawberry, vanilla, BAILEYS and hazelnut. Mario also gave us a sample each of a plain mini with blueberry as he was near empty that canister. We looked through his book at his lovely creations photo book including cream puff cakes and crepe cakes. I would for sure use him for a special event to create a dessert for us!!! Mario is from Indonesia and he explained that his country gets a lot of influence from the Dutch so they do have cream puffs over there. My tidbit of cultural learning for the day! Loved it, loved him, love this place! We devoured 2 silky cream puffs in the car as our headlights blinded the shop in the parked position. O M G, good, soft, flaky, homemade, creamy, flavourful! And not too sweet, THAT I liked!
5 stars, we will be quick to return here!
