Super cozy place! Beware that on a Friday morning at 8am, there's already a line forming outside waiting for the bakery to open.
They make the classic pastries with a twist. They are pleasantly unique and the flavours taste REALLY good. I would definitely recommend this place and go back. But beware of timing - waiting in line and waiting for your food.
(They accept credit cards here).
1) Morning Bun: probably the best I've tried. Fluffy and light. It's like monkey bread but tastes like a cinnamon bun. The outside is perfectly caramelized like a kouign-amann (but not as hard). The orange-frosting (with real orange peels) is the cherry-on-top. Not too sweet and not too overwhelming. Would definitely get it again. It's perfect when it's warmed up.
2) Olive Oil Cake: REALLY good. Super moist and flavorful. The fruits were nice but the blackberries were a little bitter. Would definitely get it again.
3) Lemon Tart: strong lemon flavour with a buttery melt-in-your-mouth crust. Simply made but excellent.
4) Earthquake Chocolate Cookie: DELICIOUS! it's fudgy like a dark chocolate brownie and the white powder compliments the chocolate. Would definitely get it again.
