DO YOU DREAM OF PASTRIES? L’Arc Patisserie in Casady Square will blow your pastry-loving mind. The coffee is fantastic too. Owned by a classically trained chef, the wares are almost too beautiful to eat. Does pastry and coffee qualify as brunch? That’s the beauty of brunch – it does if you say it does! Here, the Cloud Petite, a fluffy concoction of cream cheese mousse, mango puree and berry coulis resting gently atop a sablé cookie, sort of the French version of shortbread. Sometimes the simple choice is the sublime choice, like dunking a perfect rum raisin scone or pecan- studded financier into a steamy bowl of latte. Kitchen No. 324 ’s Maple French Cruller is insanely delicious. Also on the regular rotation: apple fritters, cinnamon rolls big enough to share, Danishes, croissants and – for the savory pastry people – a smoked cheddar and jack sausage roll. Quiche is technically a pastry, and Kitchen’s five onion iteration (egg custard, red onion, yellow onion, green onion, leek, shallot, roasted tomatoes and goat cheese, served with a simple arugula salad and crispy potatoes) is heavenly. The Harvey Bakery & Kitchen has become an instant classic. It really is an “everyday kind of place.” Cheddar, gruyere and green onion scones, classic chocolate croissants, vanilla bean brownies and a daily bread schedule so you can take a loaf home with you. Plenty of gluten-free and vegan options; also plenty of meaty delights like the croque monsieur – ham, provolone, Dijon and bechamel on sourdough.
