The London Bakery

I feel like I’m visiting England. I was greeted on the sidewalk by a full suit of armor.

Princess Kate and the Queen are inside.

The pastry cases have a nice assortment of goodies. As I write this it’s the weekend before Mardi Gras. They have king cake here.

A whole one was a little over $30.

I had a slice for $3.75. It was my first king cake and I wasn’t sure if I would like it. Cake part seemed to be a thick pastry like a cinnamon roll. Raisins and the colorful sugar glaze on top gave it nice sweet flavors. There were a bunch of walnuts in it. King cake taste like a fully optioned cinnamon roll.

Chicken pot pie had a flaky and buttery crust. It was one of the best pot pie crusts I’ve eaten.

Size and ingredient list of chicken, peas, & carrots is similar to Marie Calender’s. Seasonings in the gravy were unique. I like this pie better than the grocery store pies but Marie Calender’s is still my favorite.

Peach pie had delicious crunchy crust with a light buttery flavor.

Topping had little sugary bits like a dutch apple pie. Peaches had a fresh flavor. This is one of the best peach pies I’ve found in town.

Dutch apple pie was topped with delicious sugary bits.

Crust was crunchy and had a delicious slightly buttery flavor. Filling was extremely dense with apple slices stacked on top of each other like a neutron star. This is not one of those grocery store apple pies with the huge air gap, sugar and juices instead of apple slices. Excellent apple pie.
