Review content:
I was looking for some good pastries, and figured I'll go here since there were so many wonderful things being said...but I didn't read all the reviews and now that I have been there, came back, and read the reviews (too late!), this is what I have to say.\r
\r
The first thing that I usually do when I go to a new bakery/pastry shop is to try their croissants (and chocolate croissants), as I have had the real stuff in France, and other places that claim to be pretty authentic french bakery...So that's what I got: a croissant, a chocolate croissant and an apple tarte (apple slice is what they called it...). Anyway, three little items, and I expected to pay, but not that much!! And I wouldn't mind paying for them again. Unfortunately, they weren't what I expected from a pricey bakery. \r
I had the croissant first, and it was not warm (it was only 7:30 am), crispy, or flaky as it should be. It was not buttery or sweet (not even the slightest), and for sure didn't melt in my mouth, and I'm no food critic. I just know when it's good. Or not, in this case. I was so disappointed...\r
Then a few hours later, my carb cravings returned, and I figured, I might as well try the chocolate croissant. Maybe it would be better than the plain one (and by the way, Costco croissants are better). This one was no winner either. The chocolate was hard and the croissant was thick, not light, fluffy and flaky...\r
Then I tried the apple tarte and that was a little better...but for what I paid and the simplest thing couldn't even win me over, I wouldn't return.
Pros: nearby
Cons: too pricey for what it was
