Sweetwaters’ French Vietnamese Au Lait and croissant.

Close By and Well Fed is on the move.

To come in the next few weeks: Coffee, and its prevalence in a working and learning Washtenaw County.

And to hone my food-writing credentials, I recently signed up for Schoolcraft College’s Pastry 101: Skill Development culinary seminar. It will be a two-day cram session at the end of the month focusing on pastry terminology and sanitary baking basics; this time from behind the blender, I will report on local sweet shops and patisseries with a more authoritative edge.

So, java and dessert connoisseurs, any recommendations? Please visit my blog, talk to me on Twitter or shoot me an email at levineeats@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
