As with any new thing, lines have finally subsided to the point where I can run by Neighbor Bakehouse without a wait of interminable proportion. Though, I still run into the already sold out issue. I'm choosing to look at this, however, as an opportunity to try my way through the other baked goods they offer. This time around I went for the chocolate bear claw. Though this is only a claw in the name sense, I'd say it's more of a chocolate croissant in the shape of a claw. You get the light, fluffy, flaky crust with spots of semi-sweet dark chocolate in almost every bite. Fans of the the everyday chocolate croissant will not be disappointed in this pastry confection as it hits all the same notes. For a pastry junkie like myself, it's just a tad on the twee side, as you know, I like my sweets to have some bit of heft and thickness to them. While this does not fill that need for me it does work as a  light morning compliment to a coffee or tea. For that I'll give it thumbs up. If you are searching for something more desserty and substantial you'll need to try something else, which, of course, is exactly what I will continue to do.
