9 Bean Rows Opens Bakery
Jen and Nic Welty of 9 Bean Rows opened their Traverse City bakery on Front St. earlier this week. Over the past couple years they've offered Jen's delicious croissants, tarts, breads and other baked goods at local farmer's markets, but the new storefront gives them a welcome presence throughout the week. Today we tried the cream cheese croissant and Jen's "new favorite pastry" a brioche royale. This muffin-sized brioche is filled with pastry cream, cinnamon and raisins and is soaked in a simple syrup. It sounds so rich, but was surprisingly light. And the combination of cream cheese, croissant and powdered sugar was a big hit too. To satisfy your sweet tooth, or to grab a loaf of bread, make sure to stop by. The bakery is open Tuesday-Saturday from 7 a.m. until noon. You'll find it as 439 E Front St. where the Cooks' House used to be. (And don't worry...the Cooks' House is still here. They just relocated to the Wellington Market around the corner on Wellington.)
Here's Jen with bakery regular Ron Rademacher.

Hooray! These folks don't mess around. Jen's breads pull out the essence of the ingredients she uses...fennel & sea salt is probably my favorite. We're so excited to see her business take off, and we strongly urge folks to try out her goods. Once you do, you won't settle for grocery store types again.
