Set in the middle of business buildings,
this little unassuming shop is a gem of a find.
One drizzly day, I jumped out of my car and
ran into the shop and was assailed by a scrumptious sweet buttery smell. It was feast for my nose before my eyes could
adjust and pop out of its socket at the beautiful sight before me. Two counters filled with gastronomical
delights.
After some serious deliberation, I chose
the coffee meringue, the raspberry cheesecake and crème patisserie filled puff
pastry. (Two for me, one for my three
kids to share! Gluttonous and
greedy? Oh yeah!)
The coffee meringue was a delicate balance
of sugary goodness in the meringue and buttery delight in the coffee
buttercream. A lovely crunch amongst a
velvety smoothness.
The raspberry cheesecake was a
delight. Dense, not too sweet with a
bite of tartness.
And the crème patisserie filled with puff
pastry – what a sensation. A light,
crispy, flaky, buttery puff pastry with an explosion of crème patisserie to
follow. A loved one by both kids and
adults. I’m sorry Michele’s – there is
no comparison.
This was definitely a luxury - to the lips,
hips and wallet. But for those who
appreciate a gastronomical delight, it is a must.
PS.
There were some savoury bites available as well, but that will have to
wait until next time (if I can get past the glorious sweet treats).
