Maybe winter is making me carbo-load, yeah, that's it. Whatever, who really needs an excuse to brighten up your Monday morning with a little pain au chocolat treat? Not me, that's for sure.

Here's my breakfast-dessert hard at work. See how serious it looks?
So when I stopped by Standard Baking Co. this morning (and learned that Commercial Street is kinda scary during morning rush hour!), I realized I just need to come back again and again. The inside of the bakery is so cozy, I wished I didn't have to leave - and the hot bakers didn't help!
There are so many treats to choose from, from delicate little tarts, to muffins and scones, to giant loaves of crusty bread, all different shapes and sizes. My croissant was delicious, flaky, buttery, tasting like it was doing its best to slow my beating heart.
I'll definitely be back, maybe I can stop by on my way home from work today...

hey, want to send one of those south? well, perhaps it wouldn't ship so well :-( enjoy one for me!
