Bonuage, Bon YUM!

Every Friday before Sundown I run around making sure we have everything we need. And by everything I mean food! For the next 25 hours, phones are off, TVs are off, no electrical items can be used, no driving and no computers. Just piece and quiet. It's not called the day of rest for no reason!

The sabbath is a day to truly spend time with loved ones, family and friends with no interruption. I cook a 3 course meal for Friday night and then another 3 course meal for Saturday lunch. I make sure we are stocked up on all our favorite treats and snacks loved by my husband and kiddies!

This Friday past I tried Bonuage, a french boutique patisserie for the first time. Their signature "Nuage" which means "Cloud" - and rightfully so - is a meringue filled and coated with shavings of different flavors.
I chose a hazelnut Nutella filled Nuage with white chocolate and chocolate shavings. It was an out of this world fluffy, sweet delight. I literally felt like I was biting into a cloud.

I enjoyed a chocolate chip "cloudkie" did I mention all the treats are dairy free and gluten free?! If you are like me and find most chocolate chip cookies to be too heavy and rich then this is the perfect cookie for you. I could finish whole box of these!

Last treat on my checklist, a Choquette, a soft milky pastry bite with sugar chips on top. It was hard to believe it was dairy free. These sweets are dangerously good!

I also picked up their freshly baked Challah (braided bread) which had just come out the oven and was still warm. The aroma was intoxicating! They also had mini chocolate filled challah rolls. The challah was the right amount of doughy texture and just the right amount of sweetness making it perfect for any type of sandwich. I bake my own challah weekly and this is the closest store bought bread to taste homemade.

Lets talk about how gorgeous and chic their store is. Timeless black and white decor accented with gold rimmed chairs and counters. I felt like I had stepped into a real french bakery and transported to Paris.

The lovely cashier that helped me packed up my treats in a cute and eco friendly tote, and wrapped up my Petite Nuage in baggy sealed with a napkin and fork. Its as if she knew I was the type to break into my treats once I got into my car!

I definitely recommend Bonuage for anyone who enjoys grown up cakes and treat. I would certainly use them for a party with their unique and beautiful desserts!
