| - What an interesting place.
We walked in on a Monday afternoon, and we were the only people in there other than what appeared to be the owners.
The downside to this bakery is that the selection is small. I would have much preferred more options, but they are focused on their gelato, and they did have several flavors. I did not try any of the gelato, as none of it really appealed to me.
I did try a sample of the salted caramel tart. It was almost molten. The caramel was great, but I found the tart shell to resemble a graham cracker crust, which is unexpected for a tart.
We walked out with a salted chocolate cookie and a croissant. The cookie had more chocolate in it than any cookie I have experienced, and you can tell it is high quality chocolate. It also had the perfect amount of salt. It was a great balance. As for the croissant, I felt like I overdosed on butter after eating it. I have never eaten a croissant where the predominant flavor was butter. That was a new experience. The texture was great, though. Not too flaky and still very tender.
Their prices seem about normal (especially for the croissant), and I am sure they reflect the quality of their ingredients.
Whomever was working was certainly helpful, friendly, and passionate.
