So glad to have a bakery in the Dilworth Southend area!! I wish it were in FreeMoreWest, but probably better for my waistline that it isn't. So my husband is a big fan- he went 7 times in the first week. He raved about the good coffee and pecan sticky buns but complained about the hard-to-see cases (you have to bend way down to see what's in there) and uncomfortable seating.
I went in and tried a couple things and hopefully it will be another Amelie's or Sunflour bakery where they add to their offerings and figure out along the way what they're best at and what people respond to. The pecan sticky bun was, indeed, delicious. Hubs had raved about their plain croissant and that it was most similar to ones we'd had in France of all places in Charlotte, and they had said it was because they are the only folks in town that hand roll the dough (don't know if that's the case or not). However, when I had it, it was soft and not flaky at all. Perhaps humidity or day old croissant?? Je ne sais pas. We also tried a roll and it was quite dry and dense, so those were half eaten. Pecan bars are good. I look forward to trying more and them improving.
Their seating is cute but uncomfortable, which is unfortunate because I'd love to meet clients there for meetings. I think a little tweaking of the arrangement and seating offering could make this place a neighborhood gem. I sure do hope they make it.
