My friend's husband said their baguettes are his favorite so I'm excited to try them. The marble cake looks like it will go well with coffee. The pastries are flaky & sweet without being overly sweet. They bake fresh daily so evertyhing was soft to touch & you can smell the freshness of their breads.

My friend and I came about an hour before they were closing and thankfully there was plenty of seating! I ordered the salted maple latte with oat milk, but the rose vanilla sounded equally enticing! The customer service was upbeat and friendly. Our drinks were made promptly without sacrificing the quality. I loved how well balanced the drink was and the maple flavor really came through! It also wasn't overly salted and had just the right amount of sweetness. It was rich, indulgent and creamy. It had the perfect amount of caffeine to leave me feeling energized without the jitteriness. My friend ordered a tea and pastry and raved about hers. The seating was pretty comfortable and the ambiance was great. I liked how it wasn't too noisy, so we were able to hear one another easily. The cafe is nice and bright with gorgeous paintings on the wall and motivating quotes written beside them. They have a small shared lot that can be pretty tight to get in and out of, especially when there's large vehicles parked there. Thankfully, since it was the end of the day and most of the other businesses were closed, I was able to get in and out easily, with plenty of spots available! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area and in need of a tasty caffeinated beverage!

Unfortunately, I wasn't quite as impressed with the coffee. I ordered an iced Americano, which just didn't stand out in terms of the coffee itself, and a latte that was pretty mid.

That said, at $5.50 for an Americano and $6.50 for a latte, I'd say stop by for the pastries, but I'd probably skip the coffee.

With so many visually stunning options on the menu, we ended up trying a variety of their creations. **Iced Cloud Matcha: 2/5** After hearing so many good things about their matcha, this was unfortunately a disappointment. There were no discernible matcha notes, as the latte was overwhelmingly milk-forward. However, the salted vanilla cold cream added a deliciously velvety texture to each sip and was the most enjoyable part of the drink. **Butter Croissant: 5/5** Simple yet exceptionally well-executed, the croissant had a delicate, crackly exterior and a well-defined honeycomb structure. A pronounced buttery flavor carried through each bite, making it a perfect take on a classic. **Brown Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5** Rich and indulgent, the cookie had a gooey, chewy center contrasted by crisp, caramelized edges, with generous chunks of semisweet chocolate throughout. The brown butter lent a distinctive nutty aroma with hints of toffee and hazelnut, while flakes of sea salt enhanced the sweetness and added a light crunch. **Croissant Cinnamon Roll: 100000000/5** As Salted Butter's bestselling pastry, this unique twist on a traditional cinnamon roll absolutely lived up to the hype. The laminated layers were incredibly flaky and airy with a crunchy outer shell, while the pillowy center was packed with warm cinnamon spice. Malted vanilla bean cream cheese icing generously coated the top of the roll, adding a decadent finish with just the right amount of tang. **Heirloom Tomato Burrata Pesto Danish: 5/5** This danish had a puffy, golden crust that gave way to a soft, fluffy, almost bread-like interior. A thick slice of juicy heirloom tomato brought a bright acidity that complemented the herby, garlicky pesto, while the intensely milky, creamy burrata mellowed out the sharper elements. Salted Butter truly shines when it comes to its baked goods, which delivered across the board. My mouth is already watering at the thought of returning for another croissant cinnamon roll.

Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café…read more Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café reminded me that we live for the wonderful experiences that remain to be discovered. After a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Raffi's Place (please read my review and thank me later) in Glendale, I decided to look for the perfect dessert. After scouting several nearby locations, I decided I was in the mood for a great cinnamon roll. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café looked like the place that would deliver the experience I was seeking. SDLBC is listed as being in Glendale, but it's located in the historic Old Town of Montrose. That's beside the point; I only mention it because there are additional places to explore just up the street. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and there wasn't much of a selection left, including the highly sought-after cinnamon roll. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly, and I immediately asked if that was all the pastries they had. He said yes. I contemplated leaving because of the nonexistent cinnamon roll, but I didn't want to be rude, so I decided to give the bakery a try since we were already there. So, we basically took half of what remained behind the glass display case: a Peach Almond Croissant, a Raspberry Pistachio Croissant, an Almond Croissant, and then my curiosity focused on a few lonely-looking pastries that were unfamiliar to my discerning eyes. I asked the gentleman what they were, and he replied with something that sounded completely foreign to me: Kouign-Amann. Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ah-MAHN) is a traditional pastry from the region of Brittany, France. It is often considered one of the richest pastries in the world because it is made with just a few simple ingredients in generous proportions: bread dough, butter, and sugar. Figuring we needed a few more sweets for the road, we took all the remaining Kouign-Amanns. Two were the traditional version, and the other two were filled with crème and blueberry jam. We also ordered a Café Americano and a Café Mocha. While we waited for our drinks, I simply couldn't wait any longer. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I eagerly opened my gift and dug right into the Kouign-Amann. Hesitantly, I tore off a tiny piece with my fingers, expecting nothing extraordinary, and instantly gave birth to a brand-new experience that exploded in my mouth. The crisp exterior gave way to the soft, flaky center, followed by waves of what tasted like delicate honey. I tore off another piece and shared it with my wife. One look at her eyes told me she wanted more. By the time our drinks were ready, we had devoured one of the Kouign-Amanns and confessed to the gentleman behind the counter that we had just experienced pure ecstasy in the form of a pastry. Kouign-Amann is, in fact, one of the richest pastries in the world, so don't let the unfamiliar name keep you from trying one. The Café Americano and the Café Mocha were also exceptionally well prepared. With everything that's happening in the world these days, a simple yet profound experience like this reminded me how wonderful life can still be. Like Arnold said... "I'll be back." Enjoy!
