If there's one word I could say about Manuel Latruwe's, that word would be, QUALITY.
I forgot to check in there this morning :( But, thats because my senses were completely overwhelmed by all the pastries. I always get the Lemoncello Danish (OMG if you love lemon anything like I do, you must have this especially with Earl Grey tea or a black coffee, ugh so good) Blueberry Danish (if you're not allergic to blueberries like one of my friends are... sad right? I know, you must try this.
This morning I picked up a large quiche that has Boccaccio, Tomatoes and Basil for $14 (I'm sharing it with coworkers as I write this haha). I was being adventurous today and wanted something different for breakfast. They asked if I wanted them to heat it up for me and so they did... but it took 10 minutes :P I didn't know what to expect honestly, I mean I didn't ask what the quiche's shell was made from or anything. All I knew was that I loved the ingredients because I love Margherita pizzas and I was just trying something new...
... The quiche falls apart really quickly as it has a very soft texture. The taste... WHAT?! Sooo unexpectedly amazing... my eyes popped outta my face! I was not expecting it to be this good. Seriously. I think the crust is made with the same dough for croissants; and its topped with fresh ingredients.
A friend introduced me to this place. We had the Le Sablon for breakfast; Smoked/Cured Salmon on top of a slice of bread with a poached egg in the middle and small steamed potatoes. I've had better dishes with salmon and eggs, but Manuel Lawtruwe's specialties I guess lay in their pastries.
Friendly staff and delicious treats. Please excuse me while I finish my quiche haha.
