French laminated pastry and organic coffee near 24th and Blake
A family-run bakery with three shops, this one on Blake near 24th, a short walk from the ballpark. The work is French and laminated: croissants, cream croissants, eclairs, tarts, alongside scratch-made breakfast sandwiches on their own bread and a burrito of the day. They put their sourcing at about 70 percent local and organic. The case is thinnest late in the day, so morning is the move.
Why go. The croissant is worth the detour before a day game.
Get there before 10am; the laminated case does not get restocked in the afternoon.
