Once in a while you can be really pleasantly surprised by a local business. That happened to me last December. I moved into a new apartment with my wife Tina and san Eli and we were discovering our new place and all that came with it. A new bakery/ pastry shop that I had not heard of before was in the new retail section of the complex and I wanted to try it out. They had coffee and a beautiful pastry case of really beautiful viennoiserie, and collection of cake slices and creme puffs. I ordered my usual cappuccino and simple croissant, I paid and walked out. As I slowly walked down the block sipping my coffee and pulling my breakfast treat from its bag, I took a bite stopped in my tracks. A thousand layers of butter soaked pastry shattered against my bite and was transported back in time to Paris, where I experienced a similar and familiar taste and texture. As I continued home, all I wanted to do was each another bite. I got to my front door and the sad realization that my bag was empty and the trail of croissant crumbs were the only evidence of my delicious breakfast.
Since that time I have had many delicious pastry's from this unassuming bakeshop. I have also had the pleasure to get to know the owner, Elmo Pin Pin, and his very talented but small team. I hope you enjoy getting to know him as much as I do, also go and do yourself a favour and find his shop. It will definitely improve your day.
