Angel Food Bakery - Cro-knots

I stopped into Angel Food bakery the other day to pick up some breakfast. I was hoping they would have the famed cronut or as Angel Food is calling them, cro-knots. The cronut is a hybrid of a donut and a croissant and bakeries in New York have been selling them like crazy. Apparently these are the hot new thing in the baked goods world. A bakery in New York has already trademarked the name cronut, so Angel Food had a Facebook contest and is now calling them cro-knots.  I suppose the fact that this is a new innovation in baked goods, makes this a really big deal. I know I for one can’t recall the last time a new category of baked good was invented. So, I admit, I was excited to try a cro-knot.

Turns out the cro-knot is worth all the hype. It was very light, fluffy and flaky just like a croissant. The glaze added just the right amount of sweetness. Though I admit I love croissants, so I figured I'd love these too. I was right. I just wished I'd bought more of them! Guess I will have to go back soon!

Here is a link to my visit to Angel Food last year:

Angel Food Bakery & Coffee Bar

Hell's Kitchen has added a bakery just upstairs from the main restaurant called Angel Food Bakery and it opened just last week. I stopped in over lunch today and picked up a caramel and peanut brownie. It was very good with lots of soft caramel, peanuts and good chocolate flavor to the brownie. The nuts added a nice touch of salt to the caramel. I think it was $3.50 plus tax. It was a good size and quite filling.

They had a nice variety of other bakery items such as breads, doughnuts, muffins and croissants. Since it is pretty close to work I look forward to trying their other offerings in the future. I'll let you know if anything else I try is interesting!
