I'm not being selfish; I'm simply concerned about your health LOL Wow. Just wow. I'm not sure where to begin with the superlatives. My companion and I paid our first visit on a recent Saturday morning. She had heard about the almond croissants and wanted to drop in and try one. It was all over once we entered the store and I was grateful to finally pry her away! This quaint little shop is tucked away in a mainly residential area a few blocks off Jonestown Road in Colonial Park. The shop is utterly immaculate, and from what we could see the production area was also spotless. The young man working the counter was very friendly and quite patient as my companion bounced from item to item, adding to our quickly burgeoning order. I finally managed to stop her and we escaped with an almond croissant, a butter croissant (mine), a bacon and Swiss quiche, and two wonderfully crafted desserts. I would have included a photo of the butter croissant, but I devoured it before we left our parking space. The photos are of one of the desserts--now long gone!--and the bacon and Swiss quiche, which I am savoring as I post this review. The quiche shell is basically perfect and the bacon is generously portioned and good sized, thick bits. Just wow. Frederic Loraschi Chocolate is absolutely worth a visit. Ever single aspect of our visit was superb, and I know we'll be back repeatedly. HIGHLY recommend. Do note that baked goods are only available on Saturdays, and the shop closes at noon on Saturday.

The owner Jess is often there where you can witness her making some of the treats, and, even when she is not, her employees are just as sweet as the treats they sell.

Often it can be too rich for my enjoyment. This was rich but not super sweet so it was perfect. Almost too perfect because I found myself eating more fudge than I would have normally in a sitting.
