October 28th 2023: Brunch and Dessert in Needham, Doughnuts in Natick

 Today, we started out with brunch at Fresco, a diner in Needham,

getting the Single Pancakes

and the Steak and Eggs (6oz sirloin steak).

Nothing special about the pancake, and the steak was dry. Not coming back again.

Not satisfied with our meal, we headed across the street to French Press Bakery and Cafe, which we were at two weeks ago, this time getting the Raspberry Pistachio Tart (pistachio frangipane, raspberry ganache, raspberries, sable tart, creme chantilly, toasted pistachio),

the Pistachio Macaron

and the Coconut Kouign Amann.

Really good pastry from this place, I must say.

Later on, while at the Natick Mall,

we decided to check out Mochi Dough, a new donut place inside,

we got the Fruity Pebble, Taro and S'mores flavors.

not too bad, though a tad sweet.

Overall, nice day for trying new places in Needham and Natick.
