Heads up if you love croissants and pastries as OMC’s almond chocolate croissant can give Mother Dough’s a run for their money! OMC’s almond croissant is flat and dense. While not as fluffy or large as Mother Dough’s, it’s every bit as buttery rich, and pillowy soft on the inside. The aroma from the croissant is just heavenly, especially when it’s just fresh out from the oven. The interior is more cake-like than fibrous, but the texture is chewy and satisfying. In addition, there’s a dark chocolate-filled interior in this croissant plus chocolate chips on top. Almonds and chocolate are such a winning combination and this croissant is no exception. I’d gladly pay $5.50 for this croissant although it is slightly more expensive than Mother Dough’s.

Im surprised that hardly any reviews mention the baked goods at OMC, but these looked so good I had to try anyway (they look better on display - the staff suggested popping it in the oven as it was inedible without heating up although I was having it to go, and it got smooshed in the takeaway bag). While I agree that the brunch items like the Gashouse Eggs and French Toast are very good, consider giving the baked goods at OMC some love the next time you’re there!
