Sandi and I got there shortly after 10:00 a.m. We were lucky it was not crowded and part of the reason could have been the rain. There were so many things to choose from. We could not decide if we wanted a sandwich or just stick to desserts or do both.
We must have walked back and forth like guards at some fortress before deciding what we would get.
Between the 2 of us, we got a Beignet, Cheese Brioche, Sugar Brioche,Blueberry Puff Pastry Square, Almond Paste in a Puff Pastry, and 2 mini Turkey,Ham & Cheese sandwiches. I had a cappuccino and Sandi had tea. We were impressed with how they served their tea. It looked like a seedling had just sprouted its first leaf. When you lifted the lid of the cup and pulled on the leaf, out came this pyramid-shaped tea bag; very cute.
We thought we would start eating the sandwiches and have the sweets as our dessert. The pastries were good; we both especially liked the cheese brioche though we thought it would have been better if it was served warm to give the cheese a chance to melt a bit.
We could not eat more than what we ordered and we both didn't want to feel we missed out on other things, so we bought the Olive bread, Salted Bread and the Gruyere Cheese Bread to take home. Sandi and I were to split everything down the middle as in community property. I couldn't resist getting the dark and white chocolate mousse. My husband loves dark chocolate, my son loves white chocolate and I love both. (What a loving family)
After dinner, I had a bite of both..... they were rich yet light. The Gruyere cheese bread was excellent. It it best heated or toasted. If you like Gruyere, this bread is perfect as all you have to do is add is a bit of butter.
It was nice meeting the 2 delightful sisters, Josephine and Carmen....Maraming Salamat!
