Accompany the perfect cup with a buttery dark chocolate croissant or the sublime citrus hints of an orange biscotti. Whether you are drawn to a bold macchiato or a subtle iced latte, you will be captivated by the atmosphere of friendship and family that suffuses Baristas.
*The Bakery
The enticing aroma of freshly baked pastries will draw guests from Baristas to Allura’s new Bakery just steps away. The perfect complement to your coffee might just be a French or Italian specialty fresh from the oven. Perhaps you’ll sample a flaky, ricotta-filled sfogliatella, a confection that hails from the Italian region of Campania. If you prefer a French patisserie, you might select a decadent chocolate and almond croissant. Whatever your choice, you cannot go wrong when indulging in a delicacy created by our skilled pastry chefs.
