"Great new bakery, perfect for hiking supplies! (4/5 Green Stars Downsides first: the layout could be improved and the young chap who served me was a bit surly – but neither of these things bothered me (and the chap was fast : . The coffee and pastries were both very good and I’m wavering between 4 and 5 stars, but I’m going to go for 5 stars because prices were reasonable and it’s really one of the best places that I know of within a radius of a 2 or 3 miles – that’s the approx. distance to La Farine or Timeless Coffee ; And speaking of La Farine, I think my plain croissant from L’acajou was every bit as good as theirs. (Perhaps Andrew C. visited on an off-day. Their cookies were pretty good, but the standouts for me were the cheddar chipotle biscuit and the banana bread – both very memorable. Also – organic, fair-trade coffee for around $2? Yes please! I’m also giving them 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: •Nomadic Coffee: All of the coffee is organic, most is fair trade certified, and some is even Smithsonian bird-friendly (that’s pretty much the highest sustainability standard for coffee . Nomadic seem like a good bunch. •Waste minimization at L’acajou was pretty good. I had my own cup but forgot to notice if there was a cup discount. •Decent selection of vegetarian options, and a vegan salad. •They do seem to use organic quinoa and greens for some of their veggie options."
