I can not recall exactly what I got but I do remember that everything seemed pretty expensive and good....not GREAT mind you, just good. Which means, I suppose, that the cost didn't measure up to the taste. Which is too bad. It is a lovely patisserie though. Very bright inside, good smells, and the cases are filled with so many delicious looking things, it was very hard to decide what to get. I had to let at least two or three people go ahead of me since I knew it would take me a while to decide on what to purchase. Unfortunately I can not recall everything but I do remember a few of the items:
Focaccia breads: I got two or three different flavors. One had olives on it. They were the perfect size for a little lunch. Theric and I split them. They were fine but not that great. We both said we wouldn't buy them again.
Chocolate croissant: Very tasty. I haven't had one of these for a long time so it was nice to taste but it did not at all measure up to my gold standard; the chocolate croissants I ate when I visited Paris when I was in high school. Of course, no American croissant will probably measure up to that standard.
Tea cakes: These were little cakes in a daisy like shape. They were very cute. And they were definitely the best thing we got. Moist, tender and, best of all, almond flavored. There may even have been marzipan in them. If I stop by La Farine again I will be purchasing one of these lovely and delicious little cakes.
I purchased at least two more items because I let Big O pick something out for himself and something out to bring home to his brother (the Big O and I went to La Farine after he finished up at his dentist appointment), but I can not recall what the items were, probably cookies, gingersnaps? I am sure the boys liked them.
I probably won't go here again. While everything was good I only consider one item to be worth going back for and the cost of the items just didn't measure up to the tastes.
