For now i'll keep Baan bakery out of this. I've tried to be loyal to L'opera but I have to say the Nana beats L'opera on taste, price and quality of ingredients. Yesterday I tries Nana's chocolate croissant although it was perhaps 2/3rds the size of L'opera it had twice the chocolate and was less than 1/2 the price. The bacon mushroom quiche was so rich with filling that i split it over two meals. Cream cheese cinnamon muffins, almond croissants, raisin or walnut breads are unbelievably tasty. Your thoughts on the two bakeries?

Nana is by far the best.

Second is Baan bakkery.

Opera the bread is very bland , need more flavor/salt  and is expensive for the small items you get.

The chocolate croissant you mentioned from Nana was the small version ? They usually have bigger size also.

Go try the chocolate almond danish / croissant , that is incredible good.

 

Cheers,

Nana is very good, excellent croissants finally available here

Opera too expensive for the product, mishaps with fancy pastries and tough baguettes, fine for a coffee and something sweet though

Where are these two bakeries, please. I don't often eat baked goods other than breads, but every once in a while I might bust my diet for some good pastries.

Google co-ords?  Thanks

Thanks for the links! If the breads and pastries are as good as the photos suggest, I might just go ahead and try them!
