: Oldtown Salinas continues to grow, and this little-shop-that-could is a sweet spot for locals and visitors alike. Opened after fans of Adrian Jimenez’s baking raised enough capital on Kickstarter, it’s now a go-to destination for treats and small bites. Forget hard-scrambled eggs in cardboard: quiches here are creamy, fluffy clouds of egg surrounded by flaky crust. Flavor combinations are creative, from jalapeño scones to s’mores bars and caramel corn cupcakes. Fresh-baked bread and plenty of gluten-free options are available. Single-serve cups of mousse and fruit are flavorful shots of joy. And unlike many exquisitely decorated cookies and pastries, the ones you’ll find at Blue Aces aren’t mouthfuls of sugary icing --- they’re as tasty as they are beautiful. |
