Beaucoup Bakery, most famous for their croissants, is a fairly new French-inspired bakery. This small bakery is located at Fir and West 6th, a trendy little area. When you walk in you are welcomed by the scent of freshly baked pastries. The bakery is quite small but has some seats where you can sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. My friend and I biked all the way there and when we arrived (~12:30 pm) it was quite busy and were lucky to have gotten a seat.Having heard such great things about their scones I knew I had to try one. I opted for a sweet one, a lemon blueberry and white chocolate scone. It was so delicious! The best scone I have ever had. It was sweet but not too sweet and dense but still crumbled. I am yet to find a scone that can beat it.
My friend got the cheese and green onion scone. It is a great option for lunch. It was filling, savory and you could taste the main ingredients.
We also decided to order some of their seasonal pastries which we shared. I chose the Strawberry Yogurt cake and my friend ordered the fresh fig tart. The presentation of both desserts were beautiful, especially the fig tart!
As for the treats themselves, I just found them to be good. They did not stand out to me like the lemon blueberry scone did. The strawberry yogurt cake was sweet and infused with the taste of strawberries. It had a gelatin texture that was interesting,but I found it a bit odd for a cake. The fresh fig tart was nice. It had some fresh figs on top, a fig coating, a vanilla and orange cheesecake like filling and a spiced crust. My favorite part was the crust. I found the tart had quite a few different flavors and not all of them complimented each other.I would really like to go back to Beaucoup Bakery and try their Vanilla Rhubarb cheesecake. I have heard great things.
