On the sourdough front, I was not disappointed. Our loaf was crunchy, golden brown on the outside and soft, dense and delicious on the inside. I also ordered 2 chocolate croissants that were perfection in a bag. I closed my eyes for a minute and I was in Paris letting the croissant and chocolate just melt in my mouth. I think I'd go back just for the chocolate croissants, even if they were out of bread. The rest of the bakery options included huge stacks of cookies, muffins with big, big crunchy muffin tops, scones and more.
To be fair, Boudin just opened a few days ago and the kinks are not worked out yet. The espresso machine (cappuccino-matic machine actually) was flashing 'Please Wait' while the manager tried to figure out what was going on. He had no luck and went off to call the repair man. They had Columbian and French roast coffees, both of which were self-serve and empty. I had to tell the cashier they needed rebrewing but she was too busy at the register to do more than holler to the kitchen. The few squirts of coffee I did get were well made- not too hot and not burned from sitting on a heater too long. But it wasn't enough to give a just review.
So in the short run, Boudin has deliciously perfect bread and bakery goods. Anyone with a hankering for fresh, hot, homemade sourdough should stop by. I'll keep my coffee-review for the next time when hopefully they have a machine working somewhere.
