Well....Cibo's pop-up bakery so far is a disappointment.
I've only tried two things but both were mediocre at best and left me thinking I'm done with Cibo. But, I will probably give it one more chance. I had the almond croissant and a loaf of brioche. The croissant seemed to be trying to make up for a rather thick, soggy doughy, overly large croissant, with way too much sludgy almond filling. The brioche loaf was identifiable by name only. It was dry, airy, relatively tasteless and seemed perhaps gluten free. There was no indication that it was gluten free but it had that unfortunate quality. It was somewhat better toasted with lots of butter and a little salt. I tried it as well as french toast hoping that that salvage operation would save the remaining portion. I tossed it after struggling to finish one slice. Had it not been for the syrup, the first slice would have proceeded the remainder.
Sorry to write such a negative review. But remembering the excellence of Cibo prior to abandoning its Bridgeway location I expected the superior quality I'd become accustomed to. Not even close at the pop-up.
I'll most likely return to Sweet Things in Tiburon in the Cove shopping center. Cibo used to be their only rival in my opinion. read more
