Philadelphia, PA - Metropolitan Bakery; A true test for a bakery I'm looking for is their Almond Croissant. If its only almonds on top, you can forget about it. If they make it with the almond paste inside, it's one you want to eat nice and slowly to enjoy every bite. Their croissant passes the test. It has nicely toasted almonds on top, but inside has nicely balanced almond paste in almost every bite. It's one you may find yourself going out of your way to pick up.

If I hadn't had enough carbs yet, I tried their Millet Muffin. I never heard of millet before here, so why not try it. It was slightly on the dry side, not extremely dry though. The millet was interesting? It gave a similar texture as nuts to the muffin. However, it didn't have any flavor like nuts typically added to muffins. I would get it again if it were available. It had enough interesting flavor and texture.

To add a bit of protein to all these carbs, I moved onto their Yogurt Parfait. It was a delicious vanilla yogurt with berries on the bottom and topped with their homemade granola. The granola is spiced well and not too sweet. It hit the spot.
