I saw the name of the bakery out of the corner of my eye as I drove down Falls Road. I almost crashed my car trying to pullover because I LOVE pastries and I hadn't had a really good one since I moved to Maryland.
When I walked in I immediately felt like I stepped into pastry heaven. Each item I saw looked delish. I was greeted by a nice woman, Gale, who I later found out was one of the owners. She was wonderful to talk to and provided me with a nice history on the bakery.
My fiance went back the next day and Gale remembered me by name, which I thought was very sweet.
I meant to "try" just a couple of items, but the foodie in me showed up that day and I ended up buying about 10 different sweet and savory pastries. Not one item disappointed! I mean every single one was DELICIOUS! Everyone I shared the goodies with were hooked. My young daughter, fiancé, and clients were all impressed.
I wish I could say I had a favorite, but everything was AMAZING. The fruit tart had a surprise chocolate glaze on the shell which made me wish I bought more. The macaroons tasted ridiculously fresh, light, and airy. And the baguette oh the baguette....I can still taste it and it's been two weeks since I had it. Then there were the croissants; chocolate, almond, plain, and spinach with cheese - lord my mouth is watering as I type. Each one was just as delicious as the next. I bought other items, but I'm kind of ashamed to gone down the list because I really and truly over indulged that day.
My other half is totally hooked on this place. He has been back for the hot dogs, which are really extraordinarily delicious.
These folks can do no wrong when it comes to food in my book.
Anyway, the moral of this story is that this place is AWESOME. They can't possibly dissapoint you.
You're welcome!
