Gaby's Gourmandise - Grand Rapods

This is a must try if you’re at the downtown market. The quiches are incredible, creme brûlée is amazing and the vanilla cream puffs are, honest to god, life changing.

New to GR, I visited the market and found HEAVEN. Growing up I just wasn’t a cookie kid. I stopped by Gaby’s bakery and I was conflicted by all the great choices. I attempted at what I thought was the less of all the evils. A chocolate chip cookie OMG! I’m done! Gaby is the greatest very gifted. If you don’t visit and add to your bucket list your missing out!

I picked up a cranberry pear and almond cream tart from Gabys Gourmandise. Look at how beautiful this thing is! Didn't get a ton of almond flavor because that cranberry puree was TART. Reminiscent of a thanksgiving cranberry dish. The pears on top gave it a nice crunchy texture. The crust was bliss sweet, crumbly, and delicious. Also shoutout the to server, she was very patient and helpful! I need to come back here to grab some of their cream puffs.

Gaby was truly amazing and wonderful to chat with. He has a great selection and the taste was out of this world. Can't wait to go

We must of picked the wrong menu Items. We got the Raspberry Madilienes (my spelling is bad) and the Pistachio Cream puffs. The raspberry flavoring on the madinlines was super tart. I have a citric acid allergy and it seemed like extra was added it because it burned my mouth. And the cream puffs is just the grounded nuts themselves in it. its not going to be that sweet pistachio you find in normal dessert pistachio products. The reason I gave amtmosphere a 2 it isn't there fault but this Market is not set up for great customer flow. So people really just stand in front of their stand as you walk in just looking around not really wanting anything from them but they gather there a lot. its a busy market.
