At Mamie Clafoutis: a pastry crafted from buttery goodness and filled with a pool of creamy chocolate filling. I didn't want to put this one down!
We enjoyed a few pastries at Mamie Clafoutis. I wish I could eat one of their Pistachio Chocolate Croissants right now. It was buttery, flaky, crunchy and topped with a mountain of pistachios, chocolate-y, and flawless. I felt the same way about the Oh Mon Dieu - flawless baking! The Apricotine was good, very fruity and flaky, but the Pistachio croissant was my favorite of the three.
Prices are more than fair. For about $10, we split three pastries which left us full for quite some time.
The second level seating area, where you can look down and watch the employees prepping and baking, sets Mamie apart from other bakeries. The upstairs seating area is cozy and inviting to relax, do a little work, or chat with a friend. There's a free water jug in the corner too, which I'm always a fan of.
The croissants here are just as good as Au Kouign-Amann, but I like the atmosphere and variety of pastries at Mamie Clafoutis much more. There were several vantage points to watch the team rolling out dough which is why I'd recommend this bakery over others to any tourist.
Mamie Clafoutis is absolutely worth my time, money, stomach space, caloric intake, and especially my #1000 review!
