There’s a new neighborhood bakery in town, and it’s just a few blocks from my house! I haven’t eaten there yet, but here’s the skinny:
640 Merrimon Ave- in the shopping center with Urban Burrito and Zen Sushi.
Open Mon-Fri 8am-6pm
Saturday 9am-4pm
They offer: 3 daily breads (today is Challah, baguette, and multigrain)
-Muffins, soft pretzels, pastries
-Truffles, chocolates, petit fours
-They take orders for cakes 48 hours in advance
-They bake all things fresh every morning
-They don’t have a website
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it:
Try Creme, and report back to base camp.
Update: I walked in at 2pm Saturday and was disappointed to find just a very few sparse offerings in their bakery case. The meager selection of linzer cookies were just not doing it for me. The place looks great, but I think they need to bulk up their selection before I can get too excited.
2nd Update: Best cinnamon roles in all of Asheville. BEST. There is something to be said for focusing specifically on just a couple of items, and essentially perfecting them in the process. It’s all about quality not quantity at Creme Patisserie.
