Essex Bagels

French Toast Bagel

I know… I know bagels should be savory. No sweet toppings… it’s not traditional! Whatever. This mildly sweet bagel with the taste of maple syrup and cinnamon crumbs is divine! Just toast, butter and serve. What a perfect breakfast! I am officially ignoring the no sweet bagel […]

Sublime Doughnuts

Peanut Butter Cup

S’more

Chocolate Crunch

Chocolate Berry Fritter

The doughnuts at Sublime are extremely light and fluffy. They have very little substance under the glazes and candy crumbs. The yeasted doughnuts are rather mild… bordering on bland. Sugary glazes and crumbled […]

La Suprema Bakery

Two crumbly pecan cookies sandwiched together with pineapple jam then rolled in icing and sugar. These tasty cookies are bigger than my fist. YUM!

This attractive roll consists of a basic dough. (No filling) But, rolled in granulated sugar, this makes a great roll to serve with a cup […]

$5 Pâté @ Buford Hwy Farmers Market

Pork & Chicken Liver Pâté for less than $5 each

Mother Goose — We both preferred the delicate spice and creamy (almost buttery) consistency

Gurman — Fine, but, the chicken liver flavor was a bit strong and we weren’t fond of the oddly firm texture

Spring Dosa

The spring dosa rolled with cabbage, carrots, pureed potato and other vegetables was the standout highlight of the meal. The vegetables were cooked thoroughly, but, maintained a bit of much-needed crunch to compliment the puree of spiced potatoes. This dish perfectly illustrates how easy it would be to be a […]

Best Croissant in Atlanta

The Contenders:

The current frontrunner — Star Provisions

Perfectly delicate flakes surrender to your bite. The rich full-flavored dough edges out the competition with its buttery goodness. The sweet butter flavor is clearly present, but, in no way overwhelming or overpowering. The butter has a sweet […]

The Good, The Bad, And, The Ugly @ Star Provisions

The Good: Two incredible po’boy sandwiches with shrimp… Each sandwich was jam-packed with freshly fried shrimp, juicy-sweet & thinly sliced tomatoes, and brushed with a mildly spicy remoulade.
