2 the Moon Bakery's Vanilla Bourbon Poached Pear Croissant

Tastemaker

It’s still stone fruit season, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a scratch-made pastry. Enter: 2 the Moon Bakery’s Vanilla Bourbon Poached Pear Croissant ($4). Bosc pears (sourced from 3rd Day Farm in Lake City) are the stars of this Danish-style treat, which are poached with Mexican vanilla bean and local bourbon and finished with sugar and cinnamon. They’re then baked into the cafe’s house laminated dough—that’s an impossibly delicate and flaky affair that takes three days to make—alongside a layer of rich cream cheese spread, and drizzled with a bourbon and spiced pear reduction. These babies sell fast, so get the goods early! And don’t forget to pear one with a seasonal latte while you’re at it. Find 2 the Moon Bakery at 100 Main St. in Lake City. 2themoonbakery.com; (231) 295-1238
