The Swiss Pastry Shop Hits the Spot


Do you have friends or acquaintances that give you straightforward answers? Me too. Would you like to have food that did the same? Nothing fancy, simply what you read on the menu is what will be on your plate. Well, I found just the place.  The Swiss Pastry Shop is such a place. Serving up breakfast and lunch Tuesday thru Saturday right off of Vickery Blvd west from Montgomery St. I went with my wife, oldest daughter, and our neighbor bright and early on this Saturday morning. I wanted to catch the place as it opened and enjoy some fresh treats. What immediately caught my attention is that it’s a place regulars go. The friendly staff knew guest after guest and greeted them by name as they strolled in. It is not a place that will make your eyes explore, the décor is simple and plain. Except for when you walk in and you’re greet by displays of eye catching pastries. To me, this is better than any reprint foux Picasso or over done western art explosion on the wall.
 
I had the meat omelet with ham and provolone and instead of toast I chose to go for the biscuits and gravy. My omelet was good, as I said simple, straightforward food. The gravy was from scratch and had a nice silky flow, perhaps it could have used a tad more salt, but it was good. It came with two fresh baked biscuits that were nice and fluffy, the kind you’d like to give a hug to. My coffee was refreshed accordingly and we all enjoyed our time there. We purchased some pastries on the way out and this is where you get your bang for your buck. Lovely edible food art, the kind that makes your mouth water prior to the first bite and your taste buds fall in love.

Overall it is worth your time to eat, taste, explore, and try the different pastries going on at The Swiss Pastry Shop. Make sure to check hours and plan accordingly. They are closed on Sunday and Monday, but worth the wait for an early morning Tuesday run. Enjoy
