The Croissant Returns

So a number of months have passed and I have been blissfully eating croissant without taking pause to post. I have taken pause to photograph my food, in good first-world fashion. I usually remember to do it before I take a bite, but not always. Today's picture plays homage to Soleio Foods, which closed up shop in Saskatoon about a month ago. It caught me completely by surprise. There weren't any whispers in the city that I caught wind of to warn me of it's impending closure - I just happened to visit there on it's last day before I flew out for a week of more croissant indulgence in San Francisco (Oh hay 30th birthday week!). Needless to say, I was pretty gutted to learn that Saturday morning croissants at Soleio were going to be a thing of the past. It was a nice bright and sunny space, with great coffee to accompany their baked goods. Overall, I find there is a dearth of these types of cafes in Saskatoon. In the weeks since Soleio closed I have felt it's absence. On the plus side, I guess this means I'll just have to start perusing the city's pastry joints again.
