Some places win us over with a serene setting, others by delivering an experience in which everything feels right. Pastry chef and Bayou native David Guas’s order-at-the-counter operation charms by nailing a handful of items that call to us. Flaky, rich biscuits are great on their own or smothered in gravy. Decadent hot chocolate is like a regal upgrade from Swiss Miss. And beignets beg comparison with the best of New Orleans. Then there’s the pastry case, which features Guas’s twist on Oreos (Dat-Os) and so-good-you-could-cry pralines. Monday through Friday 7 to 11 am, Saturday 8 to noon, Sunday 8 to 4.
