    The owner is so adorable, he looks so young and he's so sweet. This place is in a little yellow building and it's small inside but so cozy and clean. My friends and I bought various croissants...Almond, chocolate and plain. They were absolutely fabulous. I guess he used to be in SVRC, the farm market but he said he had panic attacks because he felt a lot was expected out of him. I'm really glad he opened this little place! He even has some loose leaf teas. Give him business, he deserves it!!! Great looking bread loaves too.

    Pain au chocolat and blueberry scone.

    If you're a local, you've heard the story of how this place came to be. The menu changes almost daily, but if you follow this place on FB, they're really good about keeping you in the loop. They also post things like extended hours or sales. There's been a lot of hype about this place so I've been dying to try it all 3 months that it's been open. We got the pain au chocolat and a blueberry scone. The croissant was wonderfully buttery and had that ever sought after top layer that almost peeled off. The chocolate filling was just enough to give you the sweet notes. It was smooth and not creamy so the croissant wasn't soggy halfway in. The blueberry scone didn't turn to dust after two bites either. The blueberries weren't overworked and the scone wasn't dense. I can't wait to go back to try out a sandwich and the pasta. This is the beginning of a Saginaw mainstay.

    This all that is left of the quiche.

    Just had the quiche for breakfast. It had an apple slice on top with feta cheese. Very tasty, flaky crust. It is a must try. Also the the cinnamon snail is awesome. Flaky and very tasty.

    Menu, as of Dec 2018 (they also have a holiday special additions)

    The French baguettes a bit on the small side but very good texture and flavor. I admire the efforts of this artisanal bakery. Well done.

    I have gone to Maria Elena's bakery since I was a little girl they have the best homemade chorizo…read moreand cakes. You could possibly want. I got a birthday cake from here every single year until I moved out of Saginaw. They also make homemade tortillas in house and other delicious pastries.

    These might be the best carnitas I have had since leaving California! That is worthy of five stars…read moreall on its own. The pork pulled apart into thick strands, it had great texture, some bits of tender fat, some bits of crisped edges. Fantastic stuff. If I wanted to pick nits, I might prefer a smidge more salt and I would have killed for a wedge of lime to squeeze over the whole thing. But the brightness of the salsa rojo did the job nicely of bringing this taco into balance. That salsa had some kick, and was also a delightful compliment to the barbacoa taco, which I suspect was actually barbacoa de cabeza. What a delightful surprise! Rich and meaty, and oh so tender. The tacos might actually suffer from having too much meat in them. I went for three, but two would be more than sufficient. Even one would be a mighty hefty snack. With double corn tortillas, you could even do the clever trick of splitting one taco into two... but then you risk the dreaded tortilla break. While I was looking forward to the lengua, that was the least exciting of them all. The tongue was fattier than I was accustomed to eating, and it was lacking that deep beefy flavor I adore. Had there been some lime, and perhaps a greater helping of onions and cilantro, it would have helped to lighten those bites. But so it goes. Not every taqueria / bakery does everything well. Oh yeah... do not sleep on the chicharon on the counter! Those are sold by the pound. I grabbed three pieces, and they were perfect for snacking on while my tacos were being made. In fact, they may be the reason I wasn't able to get through that third taco. So crisp. So savory. So juicy with fat. So satisfying to chew. Marvelous stuff. Just make sure to limit yourself to what you can eat in the moment, they are best when warm and fresh! All of this in Saginaw? What an unexpected treat! Thank you Yelp for helping me find a respite from my responsibilities that brought me up to this town for the day. I wish I lived closer, but if I'm back in the area, I'm coming back for carnitas and chicharon. No doubt!
