| - I have been going to this bakery for a while and it is my favorite bakery in Cleveland,
The quality of pastries is very close to the European quality. Even though it is labeled as a Swiss bakery but it does provide a mix of European pastries (including quiches). My favorite 2 pastries there are the Walnut Palmier and Chocolate Papillion. They have plain palmier and walnut palmier, the sweetness of the walnut palmier is more balanced than the plain palmier cos of the walnut (both are awesome). I think what makes the chocolate paillion great is the quantity and quality of chocolate used. Other pastries you have to try is their Linzer tart ( its pretty close to the linzer torte you would get in Austria), carrot muffin, raisins pretzel and apricot tart. I am not a fan of their berry bar nor their cherry tart.Something about the berry mix in the bar that made it very soggy and the cherry tart was too sour for my taste. You can not go wrong with any of their pastries.
On the salty side, my favorite quiche is the sun dried tomato quiche. They make great salt pretzel and even Kase pretzel (cheese pretzel) I do not think it is made with emmentel cheese but it taste really close to the Bavarian one.
They have a big selection of bread, My favorite is their olive bread....
In special occasions they prepare special orders, such as European Christmas deserts (french butter cookies, mini palmier, sable cookies and even German christkindstollen- a dried fruit cake), new year swissrolls, Easter bread and cross buns.
It is a small shop and the staff are really friendly.
Here are the things i do not like about this place.
1- No credit card machine, so bring cash or check book.
2- Parking could be a problem.
3- They run out of stuff real quick so be there early if you want to get their best stuff
