Recently we’ve found ourselves craving a good French bakery and bistro. Personally I blame @jackvelasquez because he recommended this one to us and we found it to be c’est magnifique! 🇫🇷
They claim to offer “A taste of Paris…without the trip to France!” and I have to admit that a resemblance does exist.
The croissant was warm, buttery, and flakey, and was filled with fresh and flavorful “copines.”
The quiche was masterfully created because it focused its efforts on a limited number of powerful flavors that left the palate in want of nothing.
Their coffee and tea offerings are not extensive, but we tried one of each and they were both excellent.
I can’t claim to have even attempted to resist the urge to sample their bakery items and felt particularly drawn to their lemon meringue tart and chocolate eclair. Both of them offered decedent flavors and the gold flakes upon the later made us feel quite bougie.
We tip our berets to you Jack, this was a great recommendation. 👨🎨
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
