Best Coffee Snack....

[weinoo]

I'm partial to biscotti of any variety, though I'll suffer through some sort of chocolate candy if I really have to - SKOR bars go amazingly well with coffee .

I buy the bags of mini Daims at Ikea and have learned to, as my coffee is brewing, dole out three candies from the bag and then to seal it and put it away. The putting away of the bag is very important, because if it remains within reach then I end up with a small mountain of red wrappers before my coffee is finished.

I have not yet learned how to do that, and always end up with a small mountain of red wrappers - and I can unwrap those suckers quickly.

i always have a square of 99% Lindt for each espresso but last time i was in Buenos Aires i broke my own rules this one time

Buenos Aires does inspire breaking all rules, esp when it comes to food. (Great picture, by the way!) I love the medialunas with a cafe con leche. Nothing like it anywhere else!

That crumb cake looks scrumptious. I'd love the recipe. Thank you!

Stroopwaffle with cafe con leche (unsweetened as the stroopwaffle is sweet enough as it is).

I ordered a box after posting the link and they arrived this morning.

Perfect!

They used to make fresh stroopwaffles in amsterdam a few years ago....cant beat that !

But people...please keep comin´ with ideas

Pain au chocolat. I couldn't imagine anything being better with a strong cup of coffee.

[reuvens]

i am actually looking for the little treats next to the cup on the saucer....

[Beebs]

A croissant - buttery, flaky, and warm. I like ham & cheese croissants best, but any will do!

[Lindacakes]

I vote for a square of date nut bread with a piped-on flourish of cream cheese.

[Kouign Aman]

Anything almond, not too sweet, so marzipan is iffy.

Better yet if almond and raspberry.

Shortbread.

[FrogPrincesse]

Honey madeleine with an espresso.

Croissant or pain au chocolat with a bowl of cafe au lait.

[suzilightning]

pumpkin olive oil bread warmed for 20 seconds in the microwave and spread with a lavendar honey whipped goat cheese

[Aloha Steve]

I vote for a square of date nut bread with a piped-on flourish of cream cheese.

Oh yes.......date & nut bread with CC....got go make some ASAP. Anyone got a recipe ? LOL Got the CC already.

[reuvens]

Just came back from Paris...

Believe me..any pastry from Fauchon or LaDuree is worth to be paired with a quality coffee.

My choice was a moist Canelé !!!
