Mirabelle definitely has the best cakes and desserts in town. Way better (for quality ingredients and freshness) than Pekara.
But MY GOODNESS, I recommend you stay far, far away from their chocolate croissants and their baguettes (Pekara definitely takes the win for baguettes).
I have never encountered such a brick of a croissant in my life - a hard dough, sweating grease (not even delicious butter-flavored grease) with just a stale oil flavor. I have never, ever thrown away a croissant before. This was a shame. And the baguette - a dense dough. The kind of crust that separates from the inside when you cut it. How is one supposed to slice this into nice little rounds? No elasticity. Not salty enough. Not yeasty enough. Not airy or chewy at all.
Good focaccia, good coffee cake, decent cheese cake (pretty light - for cheesecake - and not too sweet).
I have one lingering question. Where can a girl get a good muffin in this town???
