I said it already: if you're only going to one bakery in Montreal, make it Au Kouign Amann, and order their namesake. If you have time for two, make sure this is the second. From the slightly mean and impatient lady behind the counter to the gooey chocolate Russian babka, this was just what I needed this morning. We were so rushed along we ordered WAY too much out of fear of regret for not ordering more. Whatever. Ate it all.
Cheese crown: good. Russian babka: good. Rugelach: not quite as good. Wanted a hamantaschen but they were huge.
Ah, Cheskie's. Where Orthodox Jews and goyim unite over their shared love of yummy baked goods.
