A Pain Au Chocolat croissant better than what you'll find anywhere in France? I'm thinking yes. No,…read moreI'm telling you, yes! So rich and flaky, they've definitely done their homework, and this boy knows his croissants! I just got back from Paris (name drop.) This up-and-coming baker of the finest croissants this side of the Atlantic is located in Zanesville, Ohio, but you won't need a day trip to experience their flaky layers of perfection. You can find them at their Granville Market booth, at various Zanesville events throughout the year or now in Columbus, OH, at The Hills Market, in the freezer section in 6-count boxes. Even more exciting news is they bought a new place in May, are currently renovating and planning a late September 2014 opening of a storefront. Can. not. wait. Fall. road. trip. You can also order their goodies on their site, which I haven't done (obviously.) A 12 pack runs around $40, which is a little steep but once you do the math $3 each for such quality is quite a deal. Especially when round-trip tickets from Columbus to Paris is averaging what, $1100-$1700?

It's hard for me to get to come here, as they are only open on Tuesdays, but it's absolutely worth…read moreit if you're able! I decided to buy basically one of everything they had left(come early) and I was amazed with all of it. The croissants are what croissants are *supposed* to be, but the real star of the show for me was the mushroom quiche. I could eat those things daily and not complain. If you make your way in, be sure to try a little bit of everything. That's my only advice. Oh, and like I said, come early.

Fresh cookies and cakes and unbelievable donuts. The staff was plentiful and very helpful. Too many to choose from. I ended up getting standard glazed donut (they had just sold the last of their blueberry cake to the guy in front of me ) and a maple frosted vanilla cream filled stick. Oh man...the glazed donut was 10 out of 10. I waited to have the second donut until later in the day and man...that maple frosted was amazing! Totally worth stopping. Fantastic place. Fantastic staff. Fantastic donuts. They have been making donuts for a long time and with them being this good...I understand why they have been successful at doing it.

I was a little happier with my blueberry muffin than I was my Cousin Vinny. I wanted so bad for the sandwich to taste like an amazing Muffaletta because of the ingredients, but it didn't blow my mind. Still, it was fine. It was disappointing that they were out of chicken cutlets because several of the sandwiches had that as the critical ingredient. But I would go back to explore the cutlets and their various Italian mains (lasagna, meatballs, etc) if I am ever in Nelsonville again.

Rob has always been terrific and gone out of his way to make me feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. I felt today like the service was cold and distant and that I was bothering the woman who assisted me(co-owner?). I spent $13.00 on 4 items. 2-iced cinnamon rolls, 1-Blackberry and 1- Cream cheese and 2- supposed Apple Fritters. The Apple Fritters were signifigantly STALE and one of them had no similarity to the other (unrecognizable). They were thrown in the trash! The 2- Iced Cinnamon rolls were just barely not STALE and had to be heated up to make them palatable... My first inclination was to take all the sub-standard products back to the store and give them a piece of my mind but I decided to put this in a review instead. If this is typical of how the bakery is run now it's a sad thing! Don't think I will be back!

Friday afternoon, around 1sh, not empty but plenty of seating available. Clean. Staff all friendly. We expected 'oh, this'll probably be a perfectly fine sandwich.' Wrong. This was dang good sandwich experience. She ordered chicken salad on a Giacomo's bun w/out tomato and lettuce ($10.50 including bag of chips). Bun definitely homemade, fresh, little dusting of flour, good consistency, soft but not like those grody grocery store hamburger buns. The salad itself had a fresh, light herbal seasoning. Actual cut-up chicken breast instead of processed canned chicken. Not too much mayo. Sandwich held together well. Overall, a solid, nice sandwich - she'd order again. My Giacomo's Club ($11.50, w/chips) was da bomb. Big hefty sandwich, thick with meat and cheese and bacon. A nice light grilling of the bread made in-house. A club sandwich isn't a sexy sandwich, but this was something I'd 100% get again. The chips were an Ohio brand, which was nice. Got a biscotti, which was surprisingly soft-ish instead of hard crunch, and bits of broken candy cane on the crust. Quite nice, we'd get again. And we got a Ho-ho cupcake (chocolate, with a chocolate drizzle frosting and white cream frosting, reminiscent of a ho-ho). Not too sweet. Moist. Nicely done. Total damage, with drinks, $39. We very much will be stopping here again on future road trips. Big thumbs up. Pro-tip: not open Sundays.
