In sum interesting, unpretentious and a cozy bakery.
I have noticed this bakery as been closed when I make it to Bryant Street...which is usually in the late evening when I am chowing down on delicious food from the Smiling Banana Leaf. I finally committed to drive there just for this bakery.
I skimmed the yelp reviews and was a little concerned that going there at 330 in the afternoon would deprive me of the decadent and most delicious of the tasty treats. I called the location and the said they were open to five. I will admit I almost did not go. If they have lines early in the morning all the goodies would have likely been gone a few hours from closing but I decided to give it a whirl nevertheless.
A quaint location, a few two tops here and there, a small area to shop there. Beautiful baskets and other nicknacks. In the back is there bakery shelves which are strangely set up in the back right. The location is not the best to peruse offerings. I am fortunate I did not arrive when it was busy I would have been unable to see much before I was next in line!
I ordered the Chocolate Tulip. It was a hand-made shell filled with mousse & cake, with ganache drizzle, cream and berries. Rich and moist. Smooth and fluffy mousse. Not overly sweet. A nice marriage of creamy, rich, and sweet. Loved this delight. I also had a tasty cupcake. The cake was not as rich as that in the tulip. Yet, the frosting was a divine passion fruit. Yum.
I'll be back. If they can serve such yummy treats moments before they close I can only imagine how amazing they must be first thing in the morning.
