I might have set out to Nova's with too high a bar set for my expectations. Or maybe I went at a weird time, close to the end of the day on a Thursday. Who knows! It was a nice enough place, but it was a bit dirty, and there were a lot of little critters around. Generally, I prefer my pastries without a side of ants and flies, but maybe that's just me. Or maybe it was the slightly-too-hard sticky pecan bun I had. Who knows.
I really wanted to like it, and I do intend to give it a second try. But for now....eh.
