I found these old photos while browsing my albums and realized that I have yet to write up anything on Main Street Bakery! This was where I had my very first job so it holds a special place in my heart. In the warm, golden-brown section of my heart reserved exclusively for bakeries, of course :P I guess I could say that I really began to understand the importance of quality while working there and as a result, became a fanatic about butter, tea, and overall presentation. If you happen to live in Port Washington, I strongly urge you to go have a look at it because there is nowhere else that you can get bread from Balthazar other than Main Street Bakery and Balthazar itself. (Hooray for exclusive distribution contracts!) The scones, baguettes, and croissants sell like, well...uh...hot cakes and are usually gone by 9 or 10 in the morning, so get there early if you can!
Here are some photos from brunch with my mom and auntie:
Reflection shot!
My mom eats espresso granita and patiently waits for our order.
The eggs benedict. Sometimes I feel like my love for eggs benedict borders the extreme, but when it's well-prepared, I feel like my passion is justified. Toasted english muffin + crispy canadian bacon + perfectly poached egg + liberal serving of hollandaise sauce = happiness!
French toast with strawberry maple syrup.
fruit tart!
The fruit tart is joined by its companion, the raspberry cheesecake, while key lime pie and tiramisu lurk in the background.
