🌧️ THE RAIN TRIED TO STOP US… BUT THE CROISSANTS SAID “ABSOLUTELY NOT.” 🥐😂

We got a late start this morning thanks to Mother Nature deciding to water the entire city 🌧️🙃

BUT WE’RE HERE! And the STUFFED CROISSANTS are ready to make your rainy Saturday considerably more delicious. 😍

Buttery. Flaky. Golden. STUFFED TO THE POINT OF QUESTIONABLE DECISION-MAKING. 😂

So if you’re out and about, come stop by the market and see us! We may have arrived fashionably late, but we brought the good stuff. 😉

Every baker has a kryptonite. Mine? Brownies.

For some reason, every time I make them, I feel like the process takes a small piece of my soul. 😂

The mixing.
The waiting.
The “Are they done or are they still basically lava?” panic. This!! - especially this!
The toothpick test that tells me absolutely nothing. And then staring at them like they personally betrayed me.

Meanwhile, everyone else is like, “OMG these brownies are AMAZING!” 😍

And I’m standing there thinking, Cool. Glad someone enjoyed the sacrifice. Because I will never get those 37 minutes of my life back. 😂

So yes… I can make croissants, sourdough, laminated pastries and all kinds of ridiculous things without blinking.

But brownies? Brownies are my final boss.

But apparently, I’m a glutton for punishment because these brownies are getting stuffed into my newest creation…

🍫🥐 CROWNIES 🥐🍫

A chocolate croissant filled with a piece of brownie AND coffee ganache.

Because apparently one form of chocolate wasn’t enough. 😈

So yes, I sacrificed a little more of my soul for you guys.

NEW PRODUCT DROPPING THIS SATURDAY AT THE MARKET! 🎉

Come get one before I decide brownies are no longer worth the emotional damage. 😂

No lie 😂

Yes, we know you come for the croissants. And the NY-style cookies have their own little cult following. 😏

But don’t sleep on our sourdough!

Because around here, we’re not just croissants and cookies.

We make sourdough with personality, too. 🍞✨

🍞 PLEASE WELCOME THE RELATIVE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT ENOUGH….

Think sweet maple, juicy blueberry, and bright lemon zest baked into a naturally fermented sourdough loaf. It’s soft, flavorful, slightly tangy, and just sweet enough to make you wonder if you should be eating it for breakfast… dessert… or both. 👀

Come for the croissants.
Stay for the cookies.
Leave with a loaf of sourdough you absolutely did not plan on buying.

Shio Pan (Japanese salt bread) or Korean sogeum-ppang. Think of it as the cheeky little cousin of a croissant. 🥐😏

It’s soft, buttery, and salty with that irresistible crispy, caramelized bottom. Like a croissant, it knows how to make an entrance—but instead of all those delicate flaky layers, shio pan keeps things a little more relaxed.

Basically — If a croissant and a buttery dinner roll had a salty little love child. Crispy, buttery, ridiculously soft, and just salty enough to keep you coming back for more. 🧈🥐✨

A little market story I had to share. 🥐🤎

A lovely lady stopped by my booth and started telling me about the croissants she had in Paris. She said that ever since, she hadn’t been able to find a croissant that really came close.

Naturally, she asked me about my process. How I make them, how I laminate them, and the very important question:

“Are they flaky and airy? And they don’t taste like bread?”

I told her, “Yes!” 😂

…but inside, my impostor syndrome was already whispering, “Are you sure about that?” 🫠

Because I’m self-taught. I’m just someone who genuinely loves food and dessert, has a slightly obsessive need to figure out how things are made, and somehow turned that curiosity into a whole lot of butter and flour.

Anyway…

She bought one.

And then she came back to my booth.

With the BIGGEST smile.

She happily declared that it tasted just like the croissants she had in Paris. 🥹🇫🇷🥐

And then she asked for more.

Unfortunately…

She had just bought the last one. 😂

So, to the little voice in my head that keeps telling me I’m “just a self-taught baker”…

Maybe sit down for a minute. We’re making croissants. 🤎

And apparently, they’re pretty damn good.

POV: You spent hours laminating, folding, chilling, rolling, cutting… just for the croissant to show you EVERY. SINGLE. LAYER. 😂🥐

Look at those layers! 👀
She’s flaky. She’s dramatic. She’s high maintenance.

Basically… just like me. 😂

Well, at least the flaky part 🤎

⚠️ Don’t start a rumor. ⚠️

Yes… our Pain au Chocolat looks a little different.

No… we didn’t change the good stuff.

Our Pain au Chocolat just got a little glow-up. ✨

It may look a little different on the outside, but don’t panic—the buttery, flaky layers and melty chocolate you know (and shamelessly devour) are exactly the same on the inside.

New outfit. Same delicious personality.
