Darshan Bakery & Cafe

The recipe is elementary.  Add sun, clouds, sky, and you have a lovely sunset.  Colors blend into one another. Clouds diffuse light from the sun.  No sunset is ever the same.  I never tire of these wonderful moments as the sun disappears from the sky.
 

My visits to Darshan Bakery are much the same.  You never know what treasure you will find.  Sometimes they are out of my fav item.  Sometimes I’ll see something wonderful I didn’t know they made.

Butter croissant was crunchy on the outside while beneath were layers of fluffy buttery goodness.   Best croissant I’ve ever had.

 

Almond croissant is crunchier than the butter croissant and almond flavor intertwines with butter flavor. Almond paste fills the center of this croissant.  Best almond croissant I’ve had.

Apple turnover tasted like a croissant with apple filling.  Rich buttery flavor contrasted with the sweet apple filling.  Loved the flaky texture of the turnover.
 Cinnamon roll was full of cinnamon flavor and there was some sweetness from the icing.  A little denser than what you get at local donut shops.
 
The recipes are elementary.  Add flour, water, milk, sugar, yeast, and salt.  Amazing what the skilled baker can do with such basic ingredients.  Each time I visit there is something beautiful and delicious here.
