Risen like a phoenix from the ashes of Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s beloved Purple Potato it is as a Bakery that the former Yonaka Chef’s legacy continues to grow via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.
Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Thursday that eight items were procured for tasting, savories skipped in favor of recently-added Ring Brioche Donuts including real Madagascar Vanilla, Salted Sesame and Jackfruit Banana with Turon and a hint of Espresso.
Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at McCarran, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant and Polvoron Bismarck Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from “Nutella Eclair” to Ube.
Also selling savories such Chicken in Puff Pastry and Beef Caldereta, plus Gluten-free Mochi Balls, fans of Coconut should head straight for lavish Young Coconut Pie or the daily-special Donut when available.
Scaling back “Monster Cookies” to approximately 4” Ube Velvet features a crisp rim and molten center while Red Velvet is a bit homogeneous, the same not to be said for dueling Crinkle Cookies that eat a bit like St. Louis-style Butter Cake whether Ube or Chocolate-Caramel.
