My journey through Neighbor Bakehouse continues this week with savory offering--the mushroom and manchego cheese croissant tart thingy. Croissant crust is the thing they have down here. It is flaky, buttery, light and everything you want in a croissant. Not necessarily a dessert, but for a breakfast croissant like this, it is perfect. I really liked the mix of manchego and mushroom--the earthy with the buttery--was a pleasant flavor profile that made it a great breakfast, mid-morning treat. While I was eating it, I kept thing how great it would go with an egg on top. I know that is one of the trendy things of the moment but in this case, I think it would add a whole other level to it. Something like the perfect breakfast tart/open faced sandwich. I know they are a bakery, but, if they were thinking of adding to their current line up of take out, it's an option, just throwing that out there. At $3.50 a pop it is a pretty decent size and you do get a fair share of cheese and mushroom on top. I ended up getting this because they were out of their ginger sugar bun and as something at the opposite end of the spectrum, it was a nice alternative and I didn't have to worry about all the sugar I wasn't getting (even though my sweet tooth missed it a little). I would most definitely recommend and get this again. Next, if I plan ahead (ha, that's funny) maybe I'll take along an egg with me and plop it on top. Protein, veggies and a carb, it's a great way to start a day.
- If they won't come for the pork, maybe they'll come for the sweets B-Side reinvents itself in Oakland.
- The Yard beer garden thing is now open at McCovey Cove. Now Marina and techie bros can drink in SOMA, oh joy.
- 8 years on Hooker's Sweet Treats is still sugaring up the Tenderloin, as much as you can do that I mean.
- Former Radius space in SOMA has turned around quickly and is now reopened as El Capitan.
- Hey, another high end restaurant is opening in San Francisco! Oh, joy.
- I totally support any best pie list, including this 7x7 one. Though the chocolate peanut butter pie from Chile Pies really should be #1.
- And while we are ranking desserts, InsideScoop says these are some of the current Bay Area best.
- Why does this make your own pizza place have to open all the way out at Stonestown? If good this place would kill it downtown.
- Restaurant pop-ups and pickling in....Oakland? Yeah, I thought it was Berkeley too.
- SixFoot20 will be serving up breakfast tacos at Duboce and Church. Appropriately convenient to grabbing and jumping on the N or J heading to work. I'm sure the other commuters will love to smell that in the morning.
- Really? These are the places you want us to take tourists? Well, at least now I know not to go during tourist season.
- The Sinbad's saga continues, though probably not after this weekend. Or maybe next weekend, depending on who you ask.
- Small batch artisan goods come to Bernal Heights, just because.
