I've always been a fan of Alexander's Patisserie and Craftsman and Wolves. I haven't really been to either in a quite a long time because they're not in places I ride to often. I was excited when C&W opened up a location on the Peninsula but like their other locations, like I said before, not places I would ride to. The skies were ominously spooky this morning and it was chilly. It was the first ride that felt like a winter ride (since the chilly spring/summer rides that felt like winter rides :) ). While Red Rock and Alexander's aren't that great to ride to, their location is actually filled with a lot of interesting food places so perhaps worth the journey. The headline pastry stop this morning was Craftsman and Wolves but there were so many interesting things at Alexander's that I try them. The Mango Rice Pudding Croissant was pretty good. The guy behind the counter recommended the BBQ Pork Croissant. It was also pretty good. I would've preferred it to be saltier rather than being sweet BBQ though. Anthony got the Banana Chocolate Croissant which was good as well. Alexander's Patisserie has always been up at the top of my list for best Peninsula bakeries. Anthony liked his PSL from Red Rock. Alexander's also had one but he didn't order it. Craftsman and Wolves also had many interesting choices but I was a bit full so ended up getting the Philly Cheesesteak Croissant for later. The Triple Chocolate Croissant looked really interesting and if had the room in my bar bag, I would've gotten that to try too. Update: The Philly Cheesesteak Croissant was yummy and what I was hoping the BBQ Pork Croissant would've been like.
