Figaro, Figaro, Fi-ga-roooooooo

This weekend I (finally) went to the little boulangerie a couple blocks down the street from me in Los Feliz called Figaro Bistro (used for this video apparently). On my second afternoon in Los Angeles I went walking around my neighborhood with one of my housemates and we passed this small cafe/bistro and it seemed that everyone sitting outside was speaking French. Obviously that meant this Boulangerie was the real deal and I have been waiting to go there ever since. I had a lovely, leisurely lunch with my friend Heather and we shared the caprese panini with pommes frites and I had an espresso.  I cannot wait to go back and sit outside and write with a fancy pen in a moleskin journal looking for celebrities and listening to the French language.

Soon after visiting this gem I was inspired to make lemon sugar crepes for breakfast with (unusual for me) whipped cream and some peppermint tea which I enjoyed while watching Downton Abbey. I've finally caught on to the obsession.
