Pink Door Bakery

This bakery is back, and reopened under new ownership as of January 2024. Just read about the new owners and their French pastries in the June edition of the Osprey Observer. I was amazed to see eclairs of various flavors, and brioche style pastries & breads. There were even a few treats that I've never had before that are made of choux pastry dough. Most specifically la Religieuse (or the nun) and the Paris-Brest pastries. They are so delicate & delicious. The fresh pastry creams are so light and airy. I did see some artisanal patisseries as well as gluten-free ones. The bakery still makes cookies, brownies, cake balls, bars, cupcakes, and more. Their Pain Suisse au Chocolat is the brioche version. It's similar to the traditional croissant type pastry, only it's made with a sweet bread. They also have all kinds of croissants and breads. I couldn't pass up the Fougasse loaf with olives. I was given instructions on how to toast it with a sprinkling of olive oil. It came out perfectly. I can see this bread served with a charcuterie board, or with tapas. We loved all of it! As you can see, I had to go back a second time this past July 4th weekend. There were so many items that I wanted to try. The flavored eclairs left me wanting more. I'd never had eclairs filled with mango or coffee cream. The mango even had a hint of passion fruit. Yes, my husband sent me back for more. Oh, and the strawberry macarons were so perfect with the fresh strawberry jam filling. I will return many more times. The coffee and sandwiches look amazing. There are a few tables inside as well as outside. The service is fantastic as well. I actually met one of the owners (a family owned business) who is from Brittany. She even gave me a few travel tips for our next trip to Provence. A very nice family. Don't pass this place up if you're in the Riverview area. It's nice to have the taste of France so close to Brandon.
