Demitasse Pastry Update – No More Allen Bakery

Good news, bad news.

Bad: Cafe Demitasse has lost its pastry provider, Allen Bakery. This is bad news considering they were pumping out kouign amanns better than Bouchon.

For now, Demitasse is slaking our carby thirst with KAs and chocolate croissants from Bread Lounge in the Arts District. Talking to Bobby, the owner, it seems like this is a stopgap while he finds a new source. He reports they sprung the news on him with just a couple days’ notice.

Hit the jump for the good news.

Bread Lounge – Kouign Amann for Hipsters

A newly open to the public operation, Bread Lounge brings serious pastry and breads to the Arts District.
