Offering an eclectic assortment of breads, pastries, sandwiches and chocolates, this bakery and cafe is situated in a newly-built freestanding building on Buford Highway just outside of the perimeter. The assortment of French-Asian inspired baked goods tend to be delicately sweetened. One particular favorite of ours would be the chestnut bread. Large bits of diced chestnuts dot the rectangular loaves. Many of the filled pastries and cakes incorporate bean paste into the filling. One particularly tasty combination is the bean paste with chopped walnuts. There are also several variations on the French pate au choux, of these the green tea and cheese combination is noteworthy. White Windmill Bakery’s interpretation of the French pastry has a very dense moist center. Is it possible that they add rice flour to the mix? That could be one explanation for the heavier, moist center.
This is one spot that demands another visit…soon!
