bisous, besalu!

since it'll be a bit before i'm able to open my own bakery, i have to seek out small, kindred spirit cafes to scratch my itch. and, without a doubt, cafe besalu (in ballard) wins as the most wonderful creators of pastries in the city.

still on south beach, i just can't partake. and it's a shame, because baking is really one of the things i love best. as is eating things i bake. but they're hiring a baker's assistant, and they remind me of that lovely little shop i've yet to open, and so i went in, and dropped off my resume, and chatted with the pastry chef, and then walked wistfully away, without so much as a nibble of chocolate croissant.

this is what you can expect from besalu:


divine. perfectly crisp, flaky dough with soft and moist insides, and the most delicious and fresh fruit you could imagine. i can't wait to return to you, butter!

love,
j
