August 11, 2011

I have to confess I am a total pastry girl. I could live on good pastry and a good latte everyday. If it is not due to the fact that it is a long drive from my place and there is always a long line out the door, Cafe Besalu is one of those bakery [...]

I have a weakness for breads and sandwiches especially when fresh baguettes are involved. They are my comfort food. That’s why I love places like Baugette Box, Macrina, Le Panier and Bakery Nouveau.

Unfortunately when I drove by last week, I realized that it is closed already!!! Err….. closed [...]
