I've been trying to come up with a line to start this review, but I'm having a hard time, so I figured, why not put all of the ways.
1. Why am I only finding out about this bakery just now?
2. It's places like Perenn that make me so proud of Reno and it's movement toward foodie heaven.
3. When typing "best bakeries in Reno" on Google, why doesn't Perenn Bakery pop up? Turns out that there's room for Google to improve.
4. You need to visit this bakery right now!
5. Want to treat yourself or someone you love? This is the place to go.
6. Perenn Bakery brings you the whole experience, exciting all the senses, with super fresh, gorgeous hand-crafted pastries and breads, a fancy & charming rustic bakery seating out in front, and, most importantly, beyond gorgeous & delicious tasting food.
They're even staying in the game with every other aspect of business, including social media, online ordering & bulk ordering, and catering.
Perenn has a professional website, gorgeous, drool-worthy photos on Instagram, offer giveaways, and keeps things fun with the holidays/seasons, offering fun workshops, pop-up dinners, & holiday/seasonal-themed goodies and meal kits.
Their pastries alone win me over and everything else is just a big fat cherry on top.
Yes, you're going to pay a hefty coin, but what you're paying for is ultimate freshness, skill, execution, ambiance, and flavor. The owners of Perenn Bakery are both chefs, and they've traveled all over the world pulling inspiration from places known for their pastries only to bring that inspo back to us in the form of food and drink.
As I'm typing this review, I'm on their site adding items into my cart for pick-up tomorrow curbside. LOL
Have you watched LOST? Do you know that line where Jack tells Kate, "We need to go back (to the island)!" That's how I felt when I had my last bite of Prosciutto & Gruyere Croissant. Luckily, I know how to go back, which is what I'm doing first thing in the morning.
NOTES
-local business
-uses high quality ingredients
-If you are a butter lover, you will be a Perenn lover
-vegetarian friendly, not gluten free friendly. Breads are dairy free.
-priced a little more than the usual but totally worth it
-don't forget to join their rewards program. Free croissant? That's a steal.
-They have the fanciest pastry box ever.
-There was a guy behind me that knew this was my first visit and told straight-up how I was 100% going to enjoy the pastries. Yes, their pastries have that effect.
-Their chocolate croissant will get you talking in a French accent (LOL). Quality chocolate. Flaky and well balanced.
-They bake everything fresh daily, so come early if you want to get your hands on their best selling pastries, or order online ahead of time.
-Their flaky croissants can get a little messy, so If you're trying to eat them in the car, best put a box right below to catch the crumbs.
-Fancy food calls for fancy drinks and chips. Yes, they have them, along with tons of other pantry goods imported from all sorts of places. Coffee, chips, chocolate bars, tin fish, assorted sparkling beverages... they have it all.
-Check out their cool merchandise.
-Midtown is not the best with parking, but there are spaces out in front across the street and nearby neighborhood parking available. Making a trip out to their Rancharra lcoation would be worth your time. Free plentiful parking is always a +.
-Boulangerie/viennoiserie-type bakery. That means lots of milk & butter.
-OMG for Avocado Toast!!! I never say OMG, but will make an exception for their toast. Bread-perfection, avocado-perfection, toppings perfection! Just the right balance with fats, acids, starches and magic.
-On my last visit, I went for another box (6 minimum) to try all the other goodies. And every.single.pastry.was.bomb! Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, Chocolate Croissant, Cinnamon roll, Kouign Amann, Cardamom Twist, Earl Grey cookie. Yum in every single bite from start to finish.
