I certainly am not aware as I will usually walk past (guilty as charged) Nick Vina Artisan Bakery to go over to Matchaya or Two Men Bagel House, but for some reason that day, I’ve a strong craving for pastry after my gym session and decided to pop by to take a closer look. To my amazement, they actually have a wide assortment of breads and pastries, all baked in-house in their large oven. As I was there in the late afternoon, most of the stuff was sold out and I settled for an Almond Croissant ($2.40). Perhaps it was baked much earlier and as a result the croissant sort of loses a certain freshness as the initial bites were met with dry and hard puff pastry. However, once I have reached the middle, the aromatic and buttery goodness shines through. Paired with the sweetness and nuttiness of the almonds, this is totally calling out for a cup of coffee to go alongside it. Best advice I can give on this experience is to go early and get the bakes when they are fresh out of the oven!
