Pain au chocolat – Hearth Coffee Roasters
$4.95
Hearth Coffee Roasters, San Francisco CA
This was delicious. I’ve decided that Hearth is great for coffee and pastries, but not for dinner. I tried being a regular for their weekly dinner menus, but was never made to feel comfortable. So disappointing!

This turnover was very good, and despite all that raw sugar on top, it didn’t taste overly sweet. I loved the plentiful amount of apple stuffed inside!
Ham and cheese croissant – Bayou Bakery
Bayou Bakery, Washington DC
Apparently, the location on Capitol Hill has closed since I was last in DC. I’m surprised since it was always busy. The space was kinda odd, and filled with an eclectic cross-section of people. I only had this croissant, but I enjoyed it. It was super flaky and buttery.
Guava and cheese pastry – The Bun Shop
Cuban pastry with guava jam and lemon cream cheese. $3.25
The Bun Shop, Baltimore MD
Hmm, I didn’t like this very much. I think the flavors were fine, but the pastry was limp and lifeless. The dough and filling were both soft so it almost ate like mush. Perhaps it was an old pastry that had been sitting around a while?

I really liked this place! It was centrally located and the accommodations were wonderful. All the staff were super friendly, much made out stay very enjoyable. They also had a selection of pastries for breakfast. We usually just grabbed-and-go because we wanted to get out to see the sites.

This was really almond-y and on the dry side, but it tasted great with a cup of coffee.The crust could have been a tad thinner though.
Chocolate pastry – Le Gourmet Delicates’s Coffee & Tea
€2
Le Gourmet Delicates’s Coffee & Tea, Barcelona SPAIN
I liked this pastry – the fun shape, the flaky shell, and the combination of chocolate filling and chocolate sprinkles. It was a nice lil sugar bomb to keep the energy going for more touristy things. Hehe!
Raspberry danish – Massamara
€1.20
Massamara, Barcelona SPAIN
This danish looked great and tasted good too. I liked how it was folded over and had the raspberry filling peeking out on the sides.
