Review:

The best thing going for the bakery is it’s lovely quaint location along Big Sur that I would love to come back to again, next time I’d like to try their meals. A perfect stop over spot if you’re ever in the area.

Wanted something quick and I’m always looking for great croissants to start the morning off. Big Sur is a very small town and you don’t have lots of options but this place would thrive anywhere.

My wife and I ordered the ham and Gruyere cheese croissant and our daughter ordered the veggie frittata.

To drink my wife ordered a hot chocolate and our daughter and I ordered a café latte.

The croissant was great; it was crispy, flaky and buttery filled with ham & Gruyere cheese. Our daughter said the veggie frittata was delicious. My wife said that the hot chocolate was one of the best hot chocolates she has ever had. However, the latte that I ordered was just okay, nothing special. I just don’t know if the food of latte was good enough to warrant the wildly high prices.

However, I could sit at a table for a very long time because the views from every window and the deck are what nature lover’s dream of.

Cheers,

Chris

About Christopher Maitland

Cooking (and eating) great food is my passion. I am a self-taught home cook on a culinary journey where I am constantly discovering new tastes from recipes whilst teaching myself to cook and most recently bake. I created foodiemadesimple.com blog, after encouragement from my friend and web master Jerald, as a means to document and share all my culinary experiences and recipes with everyone. I strive to constantly create great food, simply and provide pleasant memories for friends and family who benefit from this culinary endeavor. Well in early 2017 my wife and I decided to sell our sticks and bricks house and rent one in a neighborhood we thought we wanted to move to to determine if we wanted to purchase a fixer-uper, remodel and make it our own. Several months later my wife said I don’t to set up another house just to pack it up and move again. What do you think about getting an RV and then when we decide where to buy we will have a place to stay while we remodel the new house and not have rent and a mortgage. I thought this was a brilliant idea and thus began the process of looking for the right RV. I found the right RV after months and months of research and looking, a 2018 Open Range Roamer 371MBH. This model has a mid-bunk that I use would use as an office with a door that will shut, wife requirement so she will not have to listen to me on the phone. Then the next challenge my current truck a GMC 2500HD will not tow the new 5er. So a truck shopping I went. Problem solved a 2017 RAM 3500HD Laramie 4X4 Dully with a Cummins Diesel. So bought the truck and 5er, put the house on the market and stated the task of downsizing from a 3600 sqft house to a 410 soft 5er and 2 10X15 climate controlled storage units. The house sold in November 2017 and after running foodiemadesimple.com for 3 1/2 years, Jerald and I decided to start rvcookingmadesimple.com where I will take what I created in a rather large 200 sqft kitchen in my sticks and bricks and recreate it in an RV kitchen breaking it down and making it simple. I hope you enjoy.
