Fig tart --- almost didn't make it home!This bakery is a jewel in an unassuming building in the Englewood industrial area. Upon entering, we were surprised at how big this bakery was; the workers (separated from the bakery by a big glass window) were working with large masses of dough!
Balthazar had a nice offering of artisanal bread and tarts. We picked an assortment to try out. The pan au chocolat was crusty and had nice chunks of dark chocolate; it would've been great with a nice warm cup of milk. DJKung picked the monkey bread, a balanced and hearty cinnamon roll (like an urban version of a cinnabon). The tarts were really inviting and we got two. The fig tart (above) was excellent---flaky crust, ripe succulent fruit and a lightly sweet cream filling to bring it together. The fig tart was equally tasty.
Yes, it is the same Balthazar as that hot spot in the Village. And yes, the goodies aren't at your suburban supermarket bakery prices. Then again, Monkey bread is rare in these parts...
