Saint-Jean
Apple Cardamom Roll
Kouign Amann
Pistachio Almond Croissant
Chamomile and Apricot Danish
As a 100% Plant-based concept that has gathered a large following via Social Media Saint-Jean Bakery is likely approached with skepticism by some and excitement by many, but for those entering with unclouded judgment the results are frankly stunning for Viennoiseries made entirely without Milk, Eggs or Butter.
Also with a Deli, both concepts open from 08h00 until 17h00 daily, staff proves pleasant and patient while guests peruse a collection priced no different than other less elegant concepts in Jordaan or nearby Centrum.
Known for their take on a Cruffin, though a Pistachio Almond Croissant proved far mor compelling, layers shatter and flake just like those at a traditional French Bakery while the Kouign Amann is a bit less “buttery” than some, but no less texturally varied.
Not about to skip Kardemummabullar, in Saint-Jean’s case made with Apples adding moisture, the best item of early July proved to be a generously flaky Danish loaded with lightly perfumed Cream and juicy Apricots in harmonious balance.
