Essence Bakery Café

I’m in Pastry Heaven. Deserts as good as those I’ve had in Paris and Europe. Macaroons that fill your mouth full of wonderful flavor. Butter Croissants that will make your heart flutter like it’s the first one you had in Paris.
A friend wanted to lunch here since it’s close to his place. I wish it was close to mine.
For an early lunch we stopped by and sat down outside after ordering.
They only had 1 daily special left, which I let my friend have. It was Biscuits and Gravy. To be honest it was the best Breakfast Gravy I’ve ever had. Sorry Mom. A nice amount of pork sausage and mushrooms in the most flavorful gravy in the world. OK, at least the valley. I look forward to it next time.
I had the Quiche Loraine with a fruit cup and had an extra Croissant that we shared. It was perfect, though to be honest I could have forced myself to eat two and gladly regretted it later.
I took home 1 Strawberry and 3 Caramel Crème Macaroons. The Strawberry lasted to the first stop light. The others only made it home because I saved them for my wife and daughter.
It’s not a huge menu. Just enough to give you a good choice without compromising the quality, And the Quality is Very High.
Don’t miss this great spot.
If I was rich, I’d tell everyone it’s bad food and just buy it all myself. But my wallet and waist can’t handle that much joy or support this great café.
