PASTRY PAIRINGS

At our bakery, we believe that the right drink can elevate your pastry experience to a whole new level. Whether you’re savoring a buttery croissant, a flaky turnover, or a rich éclair, there’s a perfect beverage to complement every bite. Here are some of our favorite pairings to make your next visit even more delightful.

1. Flaky Croissants & Velvety Cappuccinos

There’s nothing quite like the classic combination of a fresh, buttery croissant and a hot, frothy cappuccino. The light, airy layers of the croissant are perfectly balanced by the rich, creamy texture of the cappuccino. The slight bitterness of the coffee cuts through the buttery goodness, making every bite and sip a harmonious delight.

Tip: For an extra indulgence, try a croissant with a hint of almond or chocolate, paired with a cappuccino made with a dash of cinnamon.

2. Sweet Danish & Fruit-Infused Teas

A fruit-filled Danish, whether it’s apple, berry, or apricot, pairs beautifully with a refreshing fruit-infused tea. The tea’s natural sweetness and subtle flavors enhance the fruitiness of the Danish without overwhelming it. This pairing is light, refreshing, and perfect for a mid-morning treat.

Tip: Consider trying an iced tea with a citrus twist during warmer months, or a warm, spiced tea in cooler weather to bring out the flavors of the fruit.

3. Tart Lemon Bars & Herbal Green Tea

The zesty tang of a lemon bar is perfectly offset by the soothing, earthy tones of green tea. This pairing is light and refreshing, ideal for a summer afternoon. The green tea’s delicate flavor profile complements the sharpness of the lemon without overpowering it.

Tip: A matcha green tea can add a unique twist to this pairing, with its slightly sweet, umami notes enhancing the citrusy brightness of the lemon bar.

4. Rich Éclairs & Bold Espresso

The decadence of a chocolate éclair is best enjoyed with the intensity of a shot of espresso. The bitterness of the espresso balances the sweetness of the pastry cream and the richness of the chocolate glaze, creating a perfect harmony of flavors. This pairing is a match made in heaven for anyone with a love for bold, robust tastes.

Tip: For those who prefer a bit of sweetness in their coffee, a macchiato with a touch of caramel can also complement an éclair beautifully.

5. Buttery Scones & Creamy Earl Grey

Scones, with their crumbly, buttery texture, are a delightful match for the smooth, fragrant flavors of Earl Grey tea. The subtle hints of bergamot in the tea enhance the scone’s rich flavor, especially when the scone is enjoyed with clotted cream and a dollop of jam.

Tip: Experiment with different scone flavors like cranberry, lemon, or blueberry, and pair them with a touch of honey or milk in your tea for a comforting, cozy treat.
