French cruller hole cream puffs – Rolling Pin Donuts

French cruller hole cream puffs - Rolling Pin Donuts
Chocolate, maple, and vanilla. $0.45 each
Rolling Pin Donuts, San Bruno CA

The custard was way too thick for me – I could only down one. I prefer my cream puff filling on the whipped side. I was surprised how much custard they fit into these tiny cruller holes though!

Great lemon flavor and the ricotta had such a soft and fluffy texture. The pastry shell was reminiscent of a pie crust. The whole thing was surprisingly filling considering its size. Delicious!

Coffee from Philz. It’s next door to Knead Patisserie so it’s super convenient to grad a cup to go with any pastries your get. Philz is still my fave!

I really like how this pastry isn’t too sweet. I’m slowly becoming more aware of super sweet and salty foods these days, and this was a pleasure to eat. Hehe!

Semi-sweet chocolate chunk cookie - Specialty's Cafe & Bakery
Mmm, these are SO frickin’ good! I think they cram a pound of butter into each cookie which makes them so soft and delicious, lol! Their website even has a Warm Cookie Radar map which shows you the location of the nearest bakery with fresh out-of-the-oven cookies. Genius! $2.39

These mini bundt cakes are SO yummy! They’re super moist and the cream cheese frosting is sinfully good. I’m a sucker for red velvet and these even had mini chocolate chips in them, noms! I’d never heard of this place before but a co-worker brought a couple dozen to work. OMG, these are ruining my diet but I can’t stop eating them, ugh! LOL

I love Arizmendi’s daily pizzas! This was a new combination for me and I really enjoyed it. The chard and chipotle flavors were lovely and I always enjoy the sourdough crust. The extra sliver that they throw in is always much appreciated!
