Last week, Dr L decided that he would finally learn to drive. Not wanting to miss any opportunities to try out nearby places that are not easily accessible by public transport, we made a quick pit stop at one of my favourite bakeries, Le Boulangerie Amour Fou, which had opened a new branch in Salisbury.
There were a few people in the bakery when we arrived, but nowhere near near the queues of Agnes or Lune. There was a huge variety of baked goodies, vastly more than either of their Sunnybank stores. It appears that they also sold coffee, I almost got some but saw that it was from an instant coffee machine behind the counter so decided otherwise.
In the end, we got four different pieces to share between the two of us.
This was the Garlic Rosson, the only savoury pick of the day. It was fairly large and extremely fragrant. It was light and fluffy on the inside whilst covered with a cheesy garlic crust on the outside. For the price, it was a very big portion and I was glad to have someone share it with me otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish it.
Next up was the Croissant Grande which was a plain croissant with maple glaze. The size was quite small especially when compared to the likes of Lune or Superthing, but it was a fraction of the price. The croissant was a little dry and not too buttery, but had a decent amount of layers as well as a sweet maple glaze which I really enjoyed and would definitely order again.
I can't ever go to Le Boulangerie Amour Fou without getting one of their Mochi Q Balls to go. This is my favourite chocolate chip ball. It is deliciously chewy and elastic on the inside with a light crunch to the exterior and sprinkled generously with chocolate chips. Definitely one of my favourites in baked goods.
Our last piece was the decadent Dark Coco. It had a rich dark chocolate and cream cheese filling encased in a fluffy chocolate bun. This was delicious and not overly sweet but a little small for the price. I probably wouldn't get this one again next time but would be keen to try the other bread.
