For the benefit of my waistline and bank account, I am so thankful this bakery isn't close to my home or work. I was in Atlanta for a business trip and Hansel & Gretel was just around the corner from the hotel. I visited each day of my trip. The first day I grabbed a hot chai latte and the chocolate mousse sleeping bear. The latte was pretty standard and got me through the afternoon lull. The mousse was not too sweet and had a rich cocoa flavor - I loved it.
The next day I tried an iced latte and a mochi donut. I asked about the latte vs milk tea and was told the milk tea is sweeter. The latte was a tad too sweet for me but still good. The mochi donut was good with that great chewiness that comes from the rice flour.
My last day in town I picked up a beef and vegetable croquette and nut thin cookies for my flight home. The croquette was delicious - a little bit of crispiness from the outside panko breading, and a flavorful filling. The cookies were super thin and crispy and great for a little sweet treat.
I wanted to try one of everything and seriously, the white chocolate orange lamb was adorable. I told everyone at my conference and many people stopped by during the week. I'd absolutely go again when I'm next in town. read more
