Daily Bread

I’ve never been to this bakery, but my friend brought some to the office. O.M.G.!! The chocolate croissant danish and mini cinnamon rolls were to die for… so flaky, so sweet, soooo goooood!

Amazing French bread!!! You got to try there cinnamon raisin bread with walnuts!!! The best!!!

Best damn breads on the island! If you get there early enough their rye bread is spot on.

Stopped by on a Saturday around 11am and their pastries were mostly gone (some danishes and savory breads were left) but they still had french bread… come early! I got a cream cheese danish and it was so flaky, buttery, and delicious. I’d come back to grab a baguette.

Their bread was good… to be fair, we got there a bit late (in bakery-​terms) so they were pretty much out of everything. I hoped to get a baguette but no luck. The bread I did get – I don’t know what it was called but it reminded me of a hoagie – was very good. I give them three stars because even though we got there a little after 11 am, their hours were until like 4 pm or something, and it made me wonder if they had more goodness in the oven or were they really going to stay open for another 5 hours with only a handful of hoagie-​style bread left? I guess I could of asked, but it would have been nice if the lady. I don’t know… spoke. When I asked for the baguette, she could have said, oh we are out but we have such and such, or we have other breads baking… something. She could tell we were obviously eager to try some of their products. Oh well.
Anyway, I think the lack of customer service made the experience sub par. Maybe I’ll catch them on a better day or much earlier.

It’s a shame, the Rye bread is nice and soft, and the baguette’s looked good, though slightly under-​baked, though i don’t think i will be going back. When the cashier came to the counter to get out bread she was sick and sneezing and snotty, though covering her nose with a tissue i still don’t think food should be handled if you are at all ill in any way, also after purchasing the bread anyway, because it was wrapped after all, (being a baker myself and of the curious nature,) i looked back behind the door into the kitchen to catch a view of the baker laying over a table-​full of proofing bread enjoying a nice hot take-​out of saimin or some other type of soup, i know this because of the slurp that follows such a wonderful dish. It’s a shame, the bread was nice and soft, but the sanitation is a real turn off.

The Good
* Always buy french bread from this place. No where else on the island makes french bread like them
The Bad
*I though they never had parking, but I went today, and they actually have a small parking lot in the back!
* Cash Monay Only!
The Weird
* I’ve never actually ordered anything other than the french bread… I should though!

Ahhh… the French Baguette. Simple in theory to make, but not the easiest thing to master!
I came in here this morning strictly to buy some small 7″ baguettes to have with my morning coffee. Already waiting at home was my jar of Nutella and butter. My first time here, and they didn’t disappoint. The bread was perfect. Flaky with just the right amount of chewyness in the crust. Light and slightly moist on the inside.
I was craving to reproduce a simple breakfast I had while visiting Vietnam. The bakery is run by a Vietnamese family. In case you didn’t know: When the French colonized Vietnam (1858 – 1954), they introduced foods such as baguettes (French bread), pâté, coffee with cream, milk, butter, custards, and cakes.
When you are visiting Vietnam, you’ll see baguettes everywhere! They’ll even sell it to you at the intersection while you’re in your car!
Needless to say. I recreated my memory. The baguette was great. I didn’t try any of the other things in the bakery, but the sandwiches looked yummy!

Yeah, so I’ve come to find out that most of their pastries are frozen. Not that it makes the guava danish any less tasty, but I thought they actually made them there! Their bread is still good, but I find I hardly ever go here anymore. They’re always out of what I want. Oh well, it is a bakery after all– gotta go early.

I had the roast beef sandwich. The vinegarette that comes with the sandwich was good it had a slightly sweet taste. The sandwich alone was a regular sandwich. Nothing to write home about, but good.
