Early morning pastries

November 14, 2012

About a week ago I met up with a friend of a friend. She was really nice and we had a nice time getting to know each other. During our happy hour she mentioned a whole bunch of places I should check out. One in particular that stood out was Crumble and Flake. I’m kind of a sucker for any baked goods. I’m even more of a sucker when the place selling the baked goods doesn’t have a set closing time because they close when they sell out which tends to be kind of early.

I’m typically up early anyhow because Walker gets up early to head to work. So I thought one day of the week instead of lying around after he leaves I would head out to the bakery. I think it was a pretty good choice. The sun was rising on my way there and it was such a lovely morning. The morning got even better when I walked through the doors of the bakery to the most delicious sugary and buttery smells. Oh my! I had my pick of treats and thought it best to just get a couple of things. I chose a chocolate croissant and a Kouign Amann which is very similar to a croissant except it’s rolled in sugar and bakes until it caramelizes and gets crunchy=gets super tasty.

I did my best to save some for Walker but when he got home there was maybe a bite of each left. I’m so glad I only tried 2 things because now I have so many more things to try when I go back. I can’t wait!
