Fillings & Emulsions @ Granatos

I am dreading writing this review, because I have such great memories with this bakery, but I also care that other people experience the quality that the bakery can produce when it is at its best. Yesterday, we purchased a few items: 1 cheesecake (the new mango gluten free one) 2 almond croissants As 2 chocolate chip cookies The Mango Cheesecake was good as are all of the cheesecakes made at Fillings and emulsions. They are never too sweet, have a perfect texture and bright flavor. We purchased almond croissants several times, and I have noticed this trend for the filling to be less and less as well as the pastry itself getting more and more hard… I get that different times of the day are going to leave a pastry more or less dried out, but it was pretty bone dry by the time that we got it (so much that we put them in the microwave.) The real let down wasn’t the dryness of the pastry but the complete lack of the filling. We first fell in love with the bakery because of this croissant. But this time around rather than being filled with the almond filling it had 7 toasted almonds and less than a pinch of the filling… the two cut halves of the croissant could be separated with easy to reveal the equally dry interior. 2 chocolate chip cookies… well… I just wouldn’t but those again. Once again, I love this bakery, and hope to let previous memories overtake this last one but I hate to let a good thing die… I think the biggest thing is that it feels like the heart of the business may be getting bounced between locations to let quality control somewhat slip.

The staff are always pretty cool. Product is a consistent quality. Gluten-free baked goods!
