Steeve Raye Pastry

This place didn’t last very long at all! Is the new Café Regalade also run by Steeve Raye? Must have wasted a lot of money opening the bakery in 2010 and then completely renovating it into a restaurant a few months later. Oddly the web site is still active and specifically states they are «open for business».

Their croissants (chocolate or not) are amazing!!!
They also used to make this apple and custard pastry but have recently stopped. That was the best one in their shop, so please, everyone start bugging them to make it again!

* Promising pastry, but needs fine tuning *
This spot seems quite promising. I came looking for their fresh baked croissants, but unfortunately they didn’t have any (guess they are popular).
I settled instead for a brioche au sucre. The top was nice and flaky, and basically perfect. Unfortunately the base was undercooked and overly doughy and slightly stale tasting. It wasn’t stale as in day old stale, just not at its best. Photos:

That said, it seems that with a little time at this location they will hopefully work through the baking issues as the top of the brioche clearly indicates they have some strong potential.
I’ll be back after a while to give them another shot.
P. S. Free wifi for you if that matters…
