Birdie Park

We visited tM breads and pastries on our last day in NOLA, before we headed to the airport. I was debating between here and another bakery nearby our hotel, and thank goodness I landed here! Immediately when we walked in, we were lulled in a trance by the smell of freshly-baked goods (sweet AND savory!). While we waited for some of the savory treats to finish baking in the oven (PLEASE try at least one of the savory pastries, the juice from the sausage in the sausage croissant just pointed to its freshness, the cheese just melted off from the croissant from both the ham&cheese and turkey&cheese croissants. Is this what heaven tastes like??), we also got to learn about Thomas, the cafe owner. Did you know that he went to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and also manned the desserts at the Ritz Carlton before opening up his own shop here?! The sweet desserts were so glorious, and not to mention the Iced Latte -- not too sweet, and the perfect mix of milk and coffee!! If I'm ever back in NOLA, I'll be sure to make this my first location of visit!
