Midnite Patisserie started as a popup bakery operating out of Anna's (the owner) home. She now has her own space in a shared commercial kitchen at The Bee Side, part of Amethyst Bee Cakery. I discovered her on Instagram (@midnitepatisserie). Her pastries are some of the most professional looking and delicious treats I've had in awhile! The menu and ordering for the week goes live on Wednesdays at 9 pm, for pickup that Saturday afternoon. The menu changes every week, but there are usually tarts, croissants, financiers, and other delicious items!
I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but these aren't sugar bombs which is nice. I can tell that the ingredients used are high quality and there is always an element of beauty with each of the baked goods.
A recent menu included cherry financiers, blackberry matcha madeleines, raspberry & pistachio croissants, saffron & nectarine croissants, mocha brownies, and dark chocolate passion fruit tarts. The croissants in particular are like works of art and SO flaky. I'm not a baker but I know that these croissants are perfectly laminated with lots of visible layers. The flavor combinations are really unique and not ones I've found in the city before. Be sure to set an alert for Wednesday at 9 pm if you want to try these pastries - they sell out QUICK! I can't wait until tomorrow when I get to pick up my goodies!
For pickup, the kitchen is located at 425 Norwood Ave SE, behind Wolfgang's. The entrance to the Bee Side Kitchen is next to GoJo Ethiopian restaurant! read more
