Start Your Day With a Chocolate Croissant at Rustiq Bakery & Cafe

Buyers beware: once you taste the delicious breads and baked goods from Rustiq Bakery & Café, you may never be able to eat at a fast casual café chain again. Those places simply can’t compete with buttery croissants, rich quiche, and freshly prepared salads, each with high-end ingredients and delicately balanced flavors. Choose from quiche Lorraine, spinach or mushroom versions, or tartes topped with goat cheese and vegetables. The sweets are also a must – the pain au chocolate or almond croissant are the stuff of dreams. And every weekend, Rustiq Bakery & Café sells their signature breads, including the country wheat or oat honey loaf, and a dense cranberry walnut boule. Grocery store bread just doesn’t seem to make sense anymore. So proceed at your own risk. Rustiq Bakery & Café might ruin you for future foods.

Find the artisanal bakery at Savage Mill, or at year round farmers markets in the area. Be sure to preorder via the website to ensure your favorites are there when you visit.
