Madison Sourdough Co.'s new child..MSCo Patisserie... began life yesterday.... and this kid is going places! Wow!
The artistry and craftsmanship required to create some of their delicacies seems like it must take years to learn. I had the Plum Clafoutis and one of their Lemon Chocolate Macaroons and both were wonderfully delicious. A delicate balance of fruitiness and sweetness that is very hard to master. The rum and orange marinated plum came through solidly but did not over-shadow the custard. Just enough moisture but not too dry. My tastebuds were doing a happy dance! I'd have tried all they were offering but I'm watching my waistline....and my wallet! You will pay for quality but it is worth it!
The menu may seem small (about 17 or so items) but many have several different flavors and you will not leave wishing they had something else. Besides, based on the freezer case a little farther down from the bakery creations, it looks like Gelato or some hand-made frozen delectable will soon expand the menu options.
Adjoining it's parent's place, this kid's room might be considered a little austere, but they've done well decorating and it has an up-scale hominess (if it's not a word, it should be!) to it. Since they also sell wine & beer (including a large format...25 oz.... Ale Smith Speedway Stout for $22!) you'll soon feel like you're all curled up on your couch in your Snuggie anyway, if you indulge.
I will definitely be back to sample more of their fare...sans the Snuggie of course.
