What a lovely patio to sit upon, a bit of ocean view…if you can see over the constant traffic of PCH. That’s said, they do block it off quite nicely - it’s surprisingly serene considering the side-of-the-highway location.
There’s a significant selection of breads and baked goods, like a nice Country Sourdough to snack on or slide into a soup.
Pastries like the Caramelized Apple Tart are pretty good…
But it’s the Pear Tartlette with its crunchy crust and soft half-pear center that I remember as a standout.
Caneles are a classic,
And their Flan is nice, less eggy and a texture more like cheesecake.
Baguette sandwiches make a filling lunch. Here we have the Iberico sandwich with meat that gets oily and salty with warmth.
The Parisian sandwich has thicker cuts of ham and
an overpowering amount of cheese.
Good stuff, the kind you’d find ducking into a random, middle-of-the-pack boulangerie while wandering the Paris streets. Not too many standouts, and none of the delicate refinement of smaller shops like Pinwheel, but if you’re looking for something simply French, this stuff will do.
