Patisserie

  Everyone has got to love a good bakery.  The question is where to find one.  We all remember Mardoffs bakery if you grew up in my neighborhood.  But as chain restaurants and coffee shops have open mom and pop places have closed unfortunately.  I am a huge believer in supporting independent owners.  I haven't been able to find a good bakery but I've found a phenomenal patisserie. Well, one of the best around hands down is Didier Dumas in Nyack.  I go there several times a month and everything is always fresh and delicious.  I always love getting the lemon croissant well that's what I'm calling it.   The flavors are perfectly balanced between the cheese and lemon and the flaky croissant.  It's a must try especially for a lemon lover.  I took a few of my girlfriends there after lunch for her birthday and we had a feast of sweets.  I truly enjoyed the strawberry shortcake the cake was fluffy and moist the whip cream was light and delectable and the strawberry preserves used in between was the perfect amount with a very smooth strawberry flavor.  They also had a chocolate torte with a creme brulee on top the combination of the two in one dessert was delectable.  This was definitely a favorite of my girlfriends.  We ordered two lol.  We also ordered a chocolate mouse cake filled with raspberry mousse.  Again very light and flavorful but not over bearing at all.What I love about this place is that the flavors are so subtle it's actually very enjoyable not like many other places whose desserts are over powering or so commercial tasting you think your eating an entemann's. Well not here so when you get a chance and make it soon drive on over to Didia Dumas 163 Main Street Nyack NY.  Let me know what you order when you do go.
