| - Hot buns, Big buns, Small buns, Round buns, Thin buns, Crusty buns, Soft buns, Sticky Buns, but no Old buns at Great Buns! I want to squeeze some buns in a bad way when I come here. Hell, I want to put my face in a few buns and shake like a Magic Johnson's bobble head doll, and bite them in the sweet spot! Okay, I'm not going to destroy a Apple pie like Jim in the first American pie movie, but this place is really that good.
Great buns was so hot that it burnt down in 2007, and thankfully so because if it didn't, I would have not known about it. By the grace of god, the bad news on channel 8, turned me into a new customer when it reopened. It's a like a marriage coming to this place, you love doing the nasty, but hate working on the small details; So in other words, it's like eating a Bavarian ding dong and then working out for a couple of hours on the treadmill to burn it off.
Great buns isn't your usual stand alone bakery, because you're self serving the majority of items, but like what Chris Tucker said in Rush Hour 2, " you don't jump in front of black man in a buffet line" (it stand true for me even thought I'm not soul brother number #1)...because some damn old lady snake the last Apple danish ($1.29) from me when I got there. I should have put the smack down on her, and sang The Rock's WWE rendition of " You look beautiful tonight" while taking it from her, but I'm a gentleman, and even opened the front door for her. If I didn't open the door, that danish would have been MINE! But then a ray of light shined down on me, and another customer decided that they didn't need another Apple Strudel ($4.59)....SO I GRAB IT like quicksilver. When I got it home, it was gone in 60 seconds! It was buttery and flaky, and tasted like a Zippy apple napple!
Then the next plan of attack was the white chocolate raspberry bread ($3.59), and a few ding dongs. Those items are behind counter, and this bread made a great french toast. The ding dongs ($1.39) are King Kong sized compared to the hostess type, and need to be kept cold because of the Bavarian cream....what the hell, the temperature currently in Las Vegas doesn't feel like hell at the moment, and getting them home is like stealing candy from a baby.
It seem this place has some kind of happy hour after 4:00 pm, and a good number of item are cut half off by that time. I never quite make it here during that time of the day, because most of the pastries are MIA or KIA in someone stomach by that time. Most of their products are so sinfully good, that majority of them are naughtier than the crowd at Hard Rock's Rehab.
Why a four star? because if I don't make it there in time....it's gone till the next day. Finally, for that Grandma who snake the danish from me. I hope you broke your dentures on it, because I'm craving that darn thing right now like how Woody Harrison was craving Twinkies in Zombieland.
