Ganache Pastry & Gelato - Malad City, Idaho

Kristin K.

So I feel conflicted in writing this review. So I suppose the best way to tackle this is to write two, and it depends very much on you my dear reader. If you are an somewhat experienced foodie who has traveled abroad go to the second review, but if you are inexperienced and haven't traveled beyond Idaho and Utah, please read the first one.

First Review--Never Been Far From Home:

For small-town Idaho this little shop is unique and a bit unusual. You certainly wouldn't expect to find pastries this pretty in this part of the state. They are a welcome surprise and it would be nice to see more little shops like this pop up. The pastries are good and definitly above what you would find at your local grocery store, so do stop and treat yourself to a sweet treat.

Second Review--World Traveler and Foodie

Alright dear friends, if like me, you have been lucky enough to experience pastries in different countries and in large metropolitan cities, please be prepared to be somewhat disappointed. While these pastries do look lovely, they lack the imagination and the balance of flavors from European bakeries. I personally find the majority of the offerings too sweet for my taste and at times the flavors are not well-balanced--too sharp, too sweet, or too rich. So be warned before you go there and temper your expectations. Personally you would be better to wait and have superior pastries in Boise or you can find slightly better ones in Salt Lake City.

The baristas were very friendly and welcomed everyone who entered. They worked quickly to prepare our drinks and it was one of the best dirty chai’s I’ve had. We ordered nearly one of everything and I had such a hard time picking a favorite, the banana tart was so flavorful and the chocolate chip cookie was on point. Amazing treats. A welcome snack stop for my hungry family.

We drive 60 miles just to taste the many pastries they have available!! I have traveled a lot and the croissants are without a doubt THE Best I have ever had the pleasure to taste. The croissant bread pudding with the caramel sauce will have you coming back every week Hi Ho, hi my good boy good morning good morning day.
I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and try this little shop! Plus they have a great selection of tea and coffee products served with their own excellent honey! A must try👍👍

Such an amazing and wonderful shop. All of the desserts we tried were phenomenal. It's hard to believe something of this caliber would be tucked away in a little corner of Idaho. This shop is most certainly worth a detour.

Despite being open just a few days a week, it is a delight when it's opened. The GF desserts are marked as such. Lots of ganache items, including hot chocolate an other caffeinated products. Very delicious.
There is outdoor seating too.

An oasis on a long road trip. I had a fantastic latte and fresh-baked croissant. So good! Only open Fri-Sun though.

We saw a sign for this place on the freeway and decided to stop. We were astounded by the quality and variety. This is like a NYC-caliber bakery, in little Malad. We tried a very yummy, gluten-free chocolate pastry (I was so excited). There were a lot of gelatos we would love to try next time we are passing by, as well.
