Ottawa Foodies

Last night, we tried the sweet italian braided bread. It was delicious; savory & sweet. Not so delicious was the gelatinous strawberry rhubarb pie, which was a little more on the toast-and-jam side taste and texture-wise. :(

I tried their chocolate tart and cookies. Pretty good! Besides, I like it that they are not too sweet.

Today (Dec. 3), I also tried their chocolate filled croissant that I bought the day before. Toasted it in the oven, it became crispy again. Good treat for a late Sunday morning.

Boko sells a European-style bread roll called "Brötchen" (it's German for "roll" -- literally "little bread"). This thing is so buttery and yummy that it would be a crime to eat it with anything else. It's kind of a cross between a croissant and a giant Kaiser roll. ;-)

That said, it's been a few years since I had one.. I hope they still sell it.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Boko Croissants yet!

Buttery and soft on the inside, crisp and flaky on the outside. They are an absolute delight!

My favorite breakfast is to pick up a Bridgehead coffee and a Boko Croissant on my way to work.
