Flaky and tender bread with caramelized layers. $5.25
Dominique Ansel Bakery, New York NY
Mmm, this kouign amann was delicious! I loved all the buttery, flaky layers and the soft, caramelized center. Along with a cup of coffee, this makes for a wonderful breakfast treat.

Half croissant, half doughnut pastry. $5
Dominique Ansel Bakery, New York NY
Well, the long line was hell (I think I waited for about an hour), but I’ve got to admit that this cronut was pretty amazing! I don’t even like rum raisin, but I still really liked this pastry. (They only feature one flavor each month.) I was struck at the perfect construction of this thing. The layers were perfectly cooked (moist and fluffy on the inside and crisp and flaky on the outside) and yet it still allowed for the oozy filling goodness in between. NOMS!
It takes up to 3 days to make one of these things, and I must say that their process certainly makes a near perfect pastry. I sometimes wonder if I’d wait in line again for this thing. Perhaps with the right flavor, I would. Who am I kidding, I definitely would! š

Pumpkin and pink champagne. Each $2.75
La Maison du Macaron, New York NY
These macarons were delicious and I loved the flavor options. The loungey vibe of the space was also nice and relaxing. Noms!
Coffee. Small $2.25
Brooklyn Bridge.
$2.75
Dough, New York NY
Mmm, IĀ liked this donut. The dough was really nice and had a good chew to it. I thought that it was too heavily glazed though especially since the hibiscus glaze was very sweet.

Original square yeast filled doughnut. $3.75
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. I wish there would have been more of the yummy jam filling though. The donut itself had a great chewiness to it that I enjoyed, and it wasn’t overly sweet. Mmm…
Father Demo Square.
Mini, round custard filled doughnut. $3.50
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. The custard filling was very tasty and the bruleed top was fun. The doughseed was fairly small though and I thought the price was a lil’ excessive.
Brooklyn Bridge.
I liked the cookies at Au Bon Pain. This one was soft and chewy and had plenty of raisins in it. $1.39
Au Bon Pain, Washington DC
National Museum of American History.
I liked the crust and filling of this hand pie (pop tart), but there was just too much sugary sweet icing on top! It made may teeth hurt it was SO sweet. $2.69
Corner Bakery Cafe, San Francisco CA
Graffiti mural, Mission.
Corn beef with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on grilled marble rye.
Royalicious Bagel Bakery, Charles Town WV
Mmm, this sandwich was delicious and really big! The corned beef tasted great and they certainly didn’t skimp on the meat or the sauerkraut. I also liked the marbled rye bread.
Nationals Park, Washington DC.
French crullers, blueberry scones, strawberry scones.
House of Donuts, Lakewood WA
I’m a sucker for French crullers so of course I enjoyed these donuts. They were pretty good but would definitely have been better eaten straight from the fryer!
Raised yeast doughnut filled with Bavarian cream. Topped with chocolate and two eyeballs.
Voodoo Doughnut, Portland OR
This place sucked and so did their donuts! Our service guy was a little bitch and didn’t like getting questions regarding the donuts. That’s your job and I don’t think that 2 questions about what the donuts are called is excessive. I took a couple bites of each donut and threw the rest away. These lame donuts weren’t worth the calories!
Soba noodles, tuscan kale, mixed greens, sliced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, fresh oranges, cilantro, sweet asian chili glaze, sesame seeds, sesame ginger vinaigrette dressing. $10.29
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA
Ugh, I did NOT like this salad. There was more soba noodles than kale, and the salmon was gross! It was definitely delivered frozen and it had a disgusting squishy texture with a slimy glaze. Yuck!
