Was that a day-old croissant?
A sad disappointment, considering the high overall rating, friendly service, and that I've had MBCB bookmarked forever because of that glorious cake featured in their profile photo.
But alas. I stopped in as I was in this part of town I never venture to, excited for a simple morning treat: my classic litmus test of a croissant and coffee, add one oreo cheesecake for a friend.
The good, as has been stated by others--service, and that 10% Yelp discount. Food's affordable. But that's never the full reason anyone goes anywhere. You have to enjoy what you consume.
So here I am, at home, not finishing my croissant. Sacrilege. It's one of those styrofoam versions, lacking any and all taste. It's not buttery soft inside, nor flaky or crunchy on the outside. It's just tough. And if you can't croissant right, then I'd not lay down dollar for anything more significant.
My friend seemed to enjoy the cheesecake, but when I tried a portion, it was heavy on the crust and light on flavor, like its cousin. I haven't ever made a croissant, but I've made my share of cheesecakes; this one didn't pass muster.
