I recently wrote about my new neighborhood bakery, The Biscuit (see Hot Spot Boston: The Biscuit). And since then I've been back two more times. Since the first time I didn't have my camera, I thought I'd come back and rave some more about the baked goods and post a picture of my most recent indulgence, the plum blueberry crumble top pie. Just trust me when I say that the picture doesn't do it justice.
They call it a crumble, but in my mind a crumble is just fruit with a crumble topping and this had a solid bottom crust as well, so for clarity's sake I'm calling it a crumble top pie. But whatever you call it, it's delicious. It was tart but sweet and the crumble was so perfectly soft and buttery but with a little crunch.
There are still about 25 different options inside that bakery case that I want to try, but the one thing I won't try again are the sandwiches. They have a whole board describing all the sandwiches they offer, but they aren't made to order. There is only a small basket with pre-made sandwiches so you never know which of the offerings listed on the board will be available and you can be relatively sure of at least some sogginess. It was disappointing because I think they could easily add made-to-order sandwiches and then I would never have to leave The Biscuit. Instead, I'll just have to keep popping in for a sweet treat or a tea every now and again.
