It’s a new year, and a new bakery just opened on one on my favorite streets. Located on Larchmont, next to the Wittmore and Corridor stores, Clark Street Bakery opened  on Jan. 9, and I had to try it to give you my recommendations. First of all, when you walk in, you are immediately greeted by warm, cozy smells and a very aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. It is both classic and chic. Currently the bakery is only take-out, but they will soon have an adorable eat-in patio. The display of breads and pastries is beautiful, and it is literally impossible to decide which ones to try first because they all look so good.

After ruminating for some time, I finally chose two different types of Swedish buns: the vanilla Swedish bun and the cinnamon Swedish bun. You may be wondering what Swedish buns even look like. They are little round twists that are so easy to pull apart and eat. The vanilla Swedish bun was covered in delicate sugar and tasted like a sugar cookie. It was light and doughy with lemon and cardamom undertones that would be perfectly paired with a coffee. The cinnamon Swedish bun was fluffy on the inside and tasted as if a cinnamon roll met a croissant. These pastries will be your next favorite sweet delight and are different from any other confection I have had before.

I also tried their French omelette, which smelled delicious and tasted even better. It was warm and creamy on the inside, and I loved the chives. It was beautifully cooked and came with a baguette like no other. The edges of the baguette were crispy, and the middle was soft and buttery. I also had some of their Danish rye bread. It was so authentic and tasted just like the bread used for the smørrebrod (open faced sandwiches) I’ve tried in Copenhagen. I highly recommend pairing their Danish rye bread with avocado to make the perfect avocado toast.
