Craftsman and Wolves Valencia

This bakery had been on my list for a while and now I know why the chef was a James Beard finalist for pastry innovation. The desserts are beautiful and while I did not try any of the wild offerings like the Rebel Within or the Bees in Provence, I did enjoy the morning bun which should only be consumed while it is warm or else it is rather dry. The triple chocolate croissant was rich and delicious, but not too sweet. The banana travel cake was good as was the hazelnut financier which is their only gluten free option. The chocolate chip cookie was yummy. However, I saved the best for last, the black sesame kouign amann was to die for! Again, please heat before you consume and you will also fall in love. I was in a rush when I placed my order and did not notice that I was overcharged until I left, however, a quick phone call rectified the situation and I was promptly credited for the overage.

Cool spot on Saturday morning, I come before I play soccer in the park up the block at 2pm. I get the warm quinoa bowl with fresh fruit ! Bomb I can’t eat gluten so it’s slim pickings for me. There only two small outdoor tables so gotta get there early if you want to sit outside, the tables are community style and kinda tight small space
