October 3, 2014 - Companion Bakery - Santa Cruz, California

Rose Filicetti, Neal Savage and I made a quick stop for morning pastries and muffins.

Oh what delectable delights!  I chose the Almond Croissant and coffee…Neal chose the Blueberry Muffin and Rose chose this pastry that looked like a little box with the four corners turned up…I hope it was a tart.  Rose and I also chose a shortbread cookie each.

Neal bought a crusty loaf of 3-grain bread…a small boule.

My almond croissant was very good.  It differed from Gayle’s in that Gayle’s Bakery almond croissant had an almond filling in the middle.  The Companion’s do not. So it was more of a bread type croissant where Gayle's is more like a dessert croissant.

Look what we had to choose from:
