I got to try the pistachio latte croissant which felt like a hybrid of a cream filled treat and an ice cream sandwich. The owner was so also very friendly and shared that he woke up very early on the day of the festival to make sure all the baked goods are made fresh. I highly recommend!

Applecore's Bake Shoppe is still hitting the mark!!…read more This is my go-to bakery for all things gluten free, vegan, and traditional baked goods. They have since moved to a spacious store front bakery within a small shopping center, with a few parking spaces directly out front, and plenty more parking spaces in the adjacent shopping strip. My all time favorite item is their sweet potato cheesecake, and a very close 2nd is their vegan lemon raspberry cake...and mind you, Im not vegan. Some of my friends and colleagues also enjoy their award winning (vegan) apple breading pudding...most of them are not vegan either ;), banana pudding cheesecake, and gluten free apple crumble, to name a few. And All of their bundlets are popular. Also, all of my gluten free homies absolutely love gluten free desserts from here, and consistently remark that these are the best gluten free treats they have ever had. Service is always warm and welcoming, and they take their time with every customer. And Mrs. Aisha (the owner) would always hook me up on short notice with treats for my people or special events. Overall, I highly recommend this shop!

I've seen the bakery whenever I shop at Lotte but never ventured in. Today was the day and I was…read morepleasantly surprised by the selection of Korean pastries. I spoke to the owner if she had something that was similar to a Hotteok and she pointed me to this deliciousness rice pastry with red bean paste. Chewy and just enough sweetness to fulfill my craving minus the grease part of the Hotteok. Then we got to talking about my recent trip to Seoul & Gangman for a friend's wedding - how beautiful it was. She then recommended me another place to try my favorite - gimbap. Will have to go there soon and rate it. Ambiance - very friendly. Service top notch. Highly recommend. Gamshamida (Thank you)!!!

I stumbled upon this gem hidden in plain sight! I was searching for a breakfast spot in the area,…read moreand Google led me to La Boulangerie, an amazing Korean bakery . The women working there were so kind and helpful, and I could tell they were tickled by my excitement as one of them walked me through each baked good in detail. I ended up choosing a fruit tart(that I'd already dug into when I snapped the Pic) , a bag of almond cookies, a garlic pastry with garlic butter, and a raspberry macaron for my sister. The cookies and that tart gave me LIFE . I'll be saving the garlic pastry for the morning, but if it's anything like the rest, I know I'm in for a treat. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area as I know I'll definitely be paying them another visit soon

Just came in for the baked goods, so I can't speak to the Cajun dishes that are also offered at…read morethis New Orleans themed place. A few folks were having brunch in the dining area, which was mainly decorated with fleur de lis banners. I overheard the chef calling out from the kitchen that they were out of red beans and rice, which sounded like it was a popular dish. There are lots of other Cajun-style offerings. Though it was a week after Easter when we went, the sign out front was still promoting Mardis Gras (50 days difference). When you walk in, there are pastries in one display case, but you walk further down to order, which made it a little awkward to say "hey, can we walk back down and I'll point to which baked goods I want?" But the guy behind the counter obliged and we picked out a few items. The pastries were fine. A croissant, pain au chocolat, and chocolate cookie were all good, but nothing spectacular or standout from what I might find elsewhere. If I come back, I think I'll try some of the sandwiches or breakfast items.

I was looking for a new spot spot in the Columbia area and came across Touche Touchet bakery. The…read moreservice was great. The menu was overwhelming and the employee at the register did a good job of walking me through the breakfast items and what was popular. I settled on a bacon egg and cheese croissant with a small coffee. I also ordered a French dip with french fries for lunch. The breakfast was your typical run of the mill breakfast, nothing really stood out, but it was tasty. The French dip was prepared pretty well maybe it's because I waited too long to eat it, it could've been better. I recommend sitting down and eating in this restaurant. If you have time, their menu is pretty large and some other items did look appetizing. Breakfast sandwich 6/10 French dip 5/10

La Espiga De Oro translates in English to Spike Of Gold…read more Whilst this immediately makes me think of the Golden Spike that connected the transcontinental railroad in the middle of the nation, and was immediately stolen by thieves (probably seconds after the ceremonial driving in); I'm assuming in Spanish that this might be a phrase similar to "Struck Gold", but to be honest, I'm not really sure. If it is similar to "Striking Gold", I would definitely say that this Bakery is very aptly named. It's your typical Latin bakery with fist-sized and larger pastries in large glass shelving units with glass doors on the front that are self-serve. You take a large plastic Mens size shoe box and a set of tongs and just go to town. And you really go to town cause everything is like 55-85 cents. It's stupid cheap. They also have hot foods. My goal right now is to make back to try the hot food bar, but we did decide to try one of the tamales while we were there. First of all, it's the largest tamale I've ever had. It's about the size of a small burrito. It also happens to be one of the most delicious tamales I've ever eaten. 2 large chunks of fork tender pork are hiding beneath the mass of impeccably seasoned masa along with some veg and sauce. I get this and a plastic box of assorted pastries. The pan de queso is delicious. It is the most soft and supple pan de queso I've had, it almost completely falls apart as soon as you take a bite. The cheese flavor is very apparent, and it is balanced. I also try a pineapple layered pastry that is quite delicious, and a soft buttery bread with cheese on the bottom as well. It is REALLY good. I've truly never had Latin pastries that were this good. I haven't had MANY Latin pastries, but these were surely the best out of the few I've had. Can't wait to come back and try more.

I said you have them on your menu, and I pointed them out on the electronic menu board above the register where there's a sign that says "Order here". The cashier couldn't care less. I got the chicken Nachos. The nachos had a white crumbly chees on top, which I assumed to be Cotija cheese, which I am very familiar with. Nope. It was the definitely the dry almost sawdust Kraft pregrated Parmesan "cheese". I thought the chicken would be grilled Pollo. It wasn't. The chicken had the texture of reconstituted freeze dried scrambled eggs. I own a food freeze dryer and I am very familiar with that texture. The yellow cheese sauce was definitely from a can. Skip this place. It's terrible

It happened to us once that we wanted to get 40 pieces (most of my friends like bread in this location so we bought to share with them), but they said they didn't have enough bread for us because they make just enough to sell fresh breads before making another batch of bread.
