      <content>I posted about it last month.  

They always have an assortment of morning pastries (croissants, chocolatines, almond croissants, round scones, morning buns, etc.), a few full size cakes, a few 6 inch cakes, an assortment of cookies, a variety of freshly baked breads, and several cakes by the slice.

I recently went in early in the morning to get a birthday cake for work.  Unfortunatley, they had nothing that wasn't chocolate in an a 8 or 9 inch size, so I had to settle for a 6 inch.  It was lime flavored and everyone loved it.  The funny thing was that there was no one there who was comfortable writing on a cake, which is a pretty standard thing in bakeries.  So, they offered me the pastry bag and let me inscribe it!

Almost everything is made at the Rockridge location.  The quality is quite high, well-made pastries.  If you like La Farine on College and/or Solano, you'll like this one.

It is a blessing and a curse to have high quality pastries in the Dimon district -- truly delicious, but not good for my waistline.</content>
