Bagatelle French Bakery

Closed even though the sign said open and the door was ajar. Sketchy looking place that reminded me of a bodega in NYC where you can buy much more than what is on the shelves *wink wink

I found a little bakery in Spring Valley in a strip mall in Casa de Oro. I happened to be driving by and I spotted a little place and being close to my mother’s I figure I would check it out to see if it would be a good place to stop and pick up goods for her in the future.
The place is small but it had a nice variety of pastries. They also make fresh bagels and white and wheat baguettes. After chatting it up with one of the family members about the bakery, I purchased an almond croissant with powdered sugar, some coffee cake, and a giant chocolate cookie. The croissant was amazing, I am telling you, this is going to be bad, very bad having this place so close and convenient. I predict I will be adding a few more pounds. Back to the croissant: it was fluffy and inside the texture was sort of chewing in a really good way. The almonds where ever so present and the powdered sugar simply took it over the top. The chocolate chip cookies was very good as well. Any child or child at heart will love this cookie. I have not tried the coffee cake yet because I am full, but tomorrow I will!
On my next visit I will purchase some baguettes with some more croissants of course.
