I came to know about Nick Vina Artisan from my German teacher (Hallo, lieber Lehrer!) who is a fan of this place, so I got to visit this unique bakery to immerse myself more in German culture.
There are so many different kinds of bread here, like Roggenbrot, Volkorn, Dinkelbrot, Ciabatta, German Rye Bread, Pain Miche, Sourdough and more. I'm a bit lost on which one to try actually.
As the popular Sour Dough bread is sold out, I decide on French Batard, which is made from sourdough.
Lemon Tart is packed with the zesty punch of real lemons, so this will definitely win the hearts of lemon fans. The pastry crust is surprisingly firm yet easy to bite at the same time, which is all good for me. Caramel Tart is sticker in texture and tends towards the sweet side. It is not bad but not as memorable as the Lemon Tart. Meringue has a crusty exterior with sticky foamy core, making for an interesting texture. I actually like Apple Crumble Tart the most despite being skeptical about it at first. This is like the beloved Apple Pie, warm and satisfying.
Frosting Carrot Cake is a intense homely treat filled with rich cream cheese frosting, moist, dense cake filled with the goodness of cinnamon, raisins, crunchy walnuts and carrots. Best to share this since it can be quite filling.
The bread here is so delicious, and the price is actually unbelievably kind on the wallet. A big loaf of French Batard made with GMO winter wheat from German Hildesheim Börde region is only $4.50! Will be trying other breads here soon.
Thoughts: The breads here can actually make a fulfilling and yummy meal.
