A la baguette — Restaurant in Banks Peninsula Community

Purr-fectly Delicious Treats at This Bakery!

This bakery is the cat’s whiskers! We stopped by for some chocolate croissants, and let me tell you—they were paws-itively amazing. Flaky, buttery, and filled with the most purr-fectly rich chocolate, these croissants had us feline like we were in pastry heaven.

The ambiance? Absolutely claw-some! A cozy, inviting spot where you can sit and whisker your troubles away with delightful treats. The staff was meow-nificent—kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft.

Every bite of the croissant was like a little purr-adise. If you’re in search of a bakery that truly kneads your cravings into purrfection, this is the spot. Don’t paws—trot right over and treat yourself to their fur-tastic creations. We’re already plotting our next visit!

Filled with fruit and peel (my kind of bun!). So soft, right level of moisture, great Easter spices. Only wish I had bought two so I could heat one up and melt butter all over it! Walked by again about an hour later and they'd sold out of everything except a couple loves of bread. Get in early or you WILL...
