| - Oh yeah, my kind of place. Bread and Sweets. Mmmmmmm.
What I like so far: pesto filled roll, cheddar-bacon biscuit.
What I don't like: raspberry oat bar.
Undecided: almond croissant, chocolate cork.
I'll start with the don't like. The raspberry bars just didn't cut it for me. I don't like things overly sweet, but this was underly sweet. I was expecting it to have the richness of butter and brown sugar struessel, but it seemed to have a hollow, somewhat Criso-y flavor. Pretty disappointing.
And the undecided -- chocolate cork was good, but again didn't have the richness I thought it would. Almond croissant was good, but I personally really hate it when the outside of a croissant is hard. Crisp and golden brown is fine. Hard and on the verge of being overdone is not. However, after stripping off the overdone crust, the inside was moist and had very good flavor. And I'm a marzipan freak, so that gooiness was all good in my opinion.
Now for the likes. Pesto filled roll how I love thee. It's very odd that for being such a sweet tooth my two favorites here so far are savory. Nummy bread and bursting with pesto goodness. More please! And the cheddar bacon biscuit! Three of my favorite words all put together. And this was not so much a biscuit as it was bacon held together with bits of biscuit. No skimping on the bacon here! SO good!
