Bovine Bakery - Point Reyes Station
We continued along this route and next visited the coastal town of Point Reyes Station, and walked into the Bovine Bakery.
You could spend all day admiring their wholesome display…. Including Bear Claws, Cranberry Cream Cheese scones, Chicken Pesto (and many other) croissants, Blueberry Whole Wheat Muffins…. Cookies… There were two touches that I especially appreciated: a board with daily specials (including muffins and scones) and vegan versions of certain items. I’m not a vegan, but both of these touches show an eagerness to adapt to different styles and a creativity with ingredients while still having similar products available for everyone.After much deliberation, we decided on the morning bun….
..and the chile cheddar cheese scone.
The morning bun had a syrupy softness on the bottom and a crispy caramelized top. The scone, as Chad said, was like a muffin and omelet in one. The occasional bits of juicy tomato were surrounded by an ever so slight egg-iness from the batter while the rest of it was a more dry cheddar and chile flavor. Combined, the sweetness of the bun and the savoriness of the scone were a perfect combination.
The bakery has a small counter with stools facing a large window, as well as ample room to hang out outside. There’s a small bike repair unit next door, and the outside was hopping with swarms of bikers fueling up on pastries.
