| - I really hate to do this since everyone has given this little shop such great praise.
The bread basket sent me coupons for a long time, so while I was visiting my local Sunflower Market, I decided to take a peak in. Not going in for anything particular, just looking around.
Behind the counter is a GIANT oven, and the place smells yeasty of heaven. I am pretty sure this place is family owned since there was one single guy in there, with his new assistant to help customers.
I glanced at the bread and they had many kinds. Pre cut loafs of honey wheat bread, stone ground wheat bread, rosemary bread. They also had bakery bread (i'm not well adverse in the types of bread there are). I believe one was Spelt bread, and some other types, but I could NOT find just a plain ol French bread. I'm a sucker for French. Their cinnamon bread looked AMAZING, as did the banana bread. Dense and dark. I bet it's dreamy, but I didn't purchase it. I was more in the mood for something sweet.
My boyfriend decided to go with the brownie (1.75) and I picked up a pack of frosted sugar cookies (3pk). After our 6 dollar purchase we walked outside back into the heat to give them a try. I broke off a piece of sugar cookie, and it was very plain and mediocre. The frosting was hard, and left a waxy film on the roof of my mouth. My boyfriend however thought the frosting was "too much" and was too sweet for the cookie. The cookie itself I don't see classified as a "sugar" cookie. Very crumbley and plain.
The brownie my boyfriend got reminded me of dunkin heinz out of the box brownie mix but with less oil, less sugar, and more cakey. I dunno.. not impressed AT all. Needless to say we didn't finish these goodies. Didn't satisfy the sweet tooth.
If I do go back, I will try the banana bread and cinnamon bread. Maybe one of their muffins I saw sitting in the back. They gotta be good at BREAD, but cookies and brownies didn't do it for me.
