Artisan Boulanger Patissier
Artisan Boulangerie Patissier may not look like much from the outside. There are no frills or thrills; the awning has (probably) seen better days. The inside of the shop consists of a bare counter and a big cooler in the corner that houses a bunch of Gatorade. Upon first glance, you might be inclined to do a 180 and walk right out the door without buying anything, but what a mistake that would be, my friend. Artisan’s baked goods are nothing short of goose bump-inducing. Give the almond croissant a taste and you’ll never be able to go another weekend without one. Artisan is a French/Asian fusion bakery—and the meeting of two cultures never made stomachs of the masses so happy. The earlier you get there, the better the selection of baked goods you’ll find yourself choosing from. So, grumble while you drag yourself out of bed at 9 am on a Saturday. All morning grumpiness will immediately evaporate after that first bite of croissant. If you listen carefully, you may even hear birds chirping and notice the sun seems a little brighter. Seriously, it’s that good.
