Blog All About It: First


EAT: first visit to Mr. Holmes Bakehouse

Scrumptious.

I tried:

"Just Try It" croissant
House-made pastrami, pickled onions, pickled oranges, manchego cheese, pumpkin seeds, fennel seeds

Cruffin (croissant and muffin mashu-up)
Toffee Crunch Cream
A butter cream folded with crushed toffee.

Fierce, angry, funny, heartbreaking—Tommy Orange’s first novel is a wondrous and shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen, and it introduces a brilliant new author at the start of a major career. -Goodreads

  1. That sounds like a delightful bakery and that croissant sounds something else. Must be one of those where the ingredients sound awful separately, but are great when put together.

    There There is on my list.
