Love at first sight (and bite!)
I was walking by yesterday and spotted these beautiful pastries through the window and couldn't take another step further. I walked right in to find the lovely owner Javier and immediately had to compliment him on the beauty of his work. After he described each of the pastries to me in English (and I mean every pastry! - total foodie right here so this was bliss) I narrowed it down to two. They were as tasty as they look and I'll be going back again today to try two more! The flavors, textures and sweetness of both were excellent! The esto es la pera was divine! If you are a pear lover, this will just blow your mind. Pieces of pear, essence of pear, shaped like a pear :) the cream inside is just perfect. My second, the cuento ruso was very different to my first fruity choice, inside was a rich chocolate mousse (I think is the best way to describe) with a balsamic strawberry filling. A great option for the chocolate lovers.
What's more amazing is Javier does everything on his own! Starts baking at 4am every morning and you can truly feel his passion for his masterpieces when you meet him and taste these desserts. They are almost too pretty to eat to be honest! I had to stare and appreciate before I could dig my fork in.
Each creation (I call them creations because they are truly creative and beautiful!) cost €3.50. You absolutely can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a dessert and coffee - or better yet, just take an entire box home :)
5 stars for quality, value and belly satisfaction! read more
