👋 Chelsea here. I stumbled upon tM Breads & Pastries in the CBD this week while heading to a meeting. On a whim, I picked up a slice of the king cake, and boy oh boy, am I glad I did.
Dig in: It was love at first bite.
The gently sweet, icing-topped cinnamon-laced brioche was light, but sturdy enough to support a ribbon of cream cheese running through it.
Zoom in: The bakery and coffee shop opened about five years ago from chef/owner Thomas McGovern, who previously worked at the Ritz Carlton.
The bottom line: I'll definitely be back for a whole cake next time.
