Jonesin' for a Cream Puff

Doug and I have a Saturday morning tradition. A date at Denny's... best breakfast in town! This morning, I felt like an adventure. So, we got out the Urban Spoon and locked in Breakfast and French and gave it a shake (Urban Spoon is a mobile ap... love it!). Out of 300 people weighing in, the bakery was rated perfect by 95%!! Very strong.

So,we hopped on the motorcycle and road about 45 minutes to Lawerenceville... down Route 28. Little did we know that La Gourmandine Bakery didn't open until 9:30. It was 8:45. We sat in a little World War I memorial park across the street and watched at least 20 cars, pedestrians, and cyclists turn away in disappointment... they weren't willing to hang out for 45 minutes until the little shop opened. About 9:15, some other dedicated patrons began waiting. That's when this photo was snapped. The doors were unlocked precisely as 9:30 chimed on the church steeple down the street. By the time we walked across the street, the line was out the door... and stayed that way until we finished our delectable breakfast and beyond. We ate: Flan Patissier, Cream Puff, Parfait chocolat, and Kugelhof. Didn't eat much the rest of the day!
