I really have to thank City Pages for their excellent coverage and rating of restaurants, bars, bakeries, and events going down in the Metro. There are so many things I never would have known about had it not been for City Pages. Black Walnut Bakery is one of those things. It's a little pop up bakery located in One on One bike shop in the North Loop. After hearing about it, I checked out their facebook page and instantly salivated at the images. I figured this would be the perfect thing to bring for a mid-afternoon get-together with some dear friends.
I ordered chocolate chip cookies and the following pastries:
-Bostock- almond frangipane & sour cherry
-Kugelhopf- currant, pistachio & orange sugar bun
-Ham & Gruyere Croissant
I think the ham and cheese croissant was my favorite!
Three tips:
1. Her facebook page says she starts selling at 11 on Saturday mornings, but I'd get there early. There's limited quantity and there was a line!
2. You can pre-order goodies by 6pm on Friday and then pick them up on Saturday morning whenever. There were a bunch of pre-order bags lining the bench she was selling from.
3. She always posts on facebook what she'll be bringing on Saturday morning!
This is a true pop-up small operation. She literally has everything she brings for general sales sitting on a cardboard table. When it's gone, it's gone! Also, the bike shop also has a coffee shop inside so you can order a latte to go with your purchase!
Sorry, we cut everything up and did our taste testing before any pictures were attempted :)
She specializes more in fancy croissants and such. She didn't really have anything for donuts.
