There are two types of people in this world; those who walk into a coffee shop and order a coffee and a sweet pastry, and those who order a coffee and a savory pastry. (I guess there’s people who don’t order a pastry at all, but I’m not sure I want to know them.) Given the choice, I am hands down the savory chooser. Unless of course we’re just calling it a day and ordering one of everything. That’s who I really am, deep down. But anyway, if given a choice, savory all day.

This bread has everything; (said in SNL Stefan’s voice), it’s a sweet bread base with savory tomatoes and creamy feta and fragrant chives. It is to-die-for on its’ own, with a cup of coffee, or dare I say a glass of wine. The sweetness from the sugar in the dough is almost cornbread-like, so I can imagine it would be amazing alongside something with a little kick to it.

Anyway, if all of those options for it to be enjoyed don’t persuade you, then I guess you really are the “orders a coffee and a sweet pastry” person and well…fine. Just don’t tell me you’re the kind who doesn’t order a pastry at all.
