| - A(nother) pastry craving had me stop at two bakeries this morning on the way to work. I randomly passed by Nova, saw their sign, and decided to stop in to see what they had. I already had a chocolate croissant and doughnut in hand from Truscott Bakery, but too much butter is never a bad thing (right?).
I'm going to preface my review by saying that I had a good experience, but I've only tried ONE thing here: the apple turnover. Everything did look good though. Since I've only tried one thing, and had a monster pastry craving at the time, I'm going to give it 3 stars for now (it's probably 3 and a half) and I'll update when I make another trip. Hey, what can I say, I'm like the teacher you love to hate, I don't give easy marks :)
First, it's fairly large for a bakery, they sandwiches and hot food, complete with a sit down section, a small grocery section and a good num ber of pastries and baked breads.
Pastries were about $1.35 for each (and most of it looked great: cinnamon twists, strudles, turnovers, pies looked awesome, eclaires and various puff pastries, tarts). Bagels were $0.50.
After tasting their apple turnover, I'm going to go back and try some of their other offerings, because it was pretty good! I microwaved the turnover when I got into the office (we don't have a toaster oven, unfortunately) but it was still really good, the crust was flaky and crispy and the filling with apple-y and sweet.
Their breads smelled and looked delicious so I'll have to pick up a loaf of something next time 'round. As mentioned above, pies also look really good so I'm going to have to go carb-heavy one of these days and just try out some of their other things. It was busy (especially for 9:15 am on a Tuesday) so the turnover here must be pretty high and I assume it's fairly popular.
I'll be back and I'll update my rating accordingly.
