| - I walked over here one sunny Monday morning because I wanted some bread to go with my butter.
Pluses: The staff was super nice even in the face of my epic indecisiveness, the Glorious Morning muffin was delicious cakey goodness, the chocolate croissant has enough ever so slightly bitter chocolate for my tastes and the almond croissant was almond-y, although I feel the filling could've been a little moister.
The questionable: Why do your almond and chocolate croissants look exactly the same?? The counter girl was having trouble telling them apart and I got one of each instead of two almond. No big deal, I told her it was ok and to just guess when she was trying to figure them out since I enjoy chocolate croissants too.
Now for the bad. I was super excited to tear into the baguette I got but the texture is all off. Don't get me wrong, its passable bread, but definitely shouldn't be called a baguette. The crust isn't crackly, the crumb is dense, the whole thing a little too chewy. It still scratches the bread itch but... that loaf ain't right.
The plain croissant, unlike its sweet cousins, suffers from the same problems a lot of American croissants do, being doughy and stolid and not flaky at all. Better suited to cradle some various fillings and be stuffed in a lunchbox than to be enjoyed on its own.
So overall I will probably be going back if I have a craving for sweets, but I'll have to find somewhere else with a baguette that suits my picky picky needs.
