Grub Crawl - College Park : Cookie Cousins, Credo, Les Petits Pleasures

Cookie Cousins - A modern looking bakery off of Edgewater Dr near Grafitti Junction and behind some sort of furniture/antique store. Interesting cookies. They seem to do mostly special order cookies. I had an oatmeal raisin for $1 that tasted like marzipan. I liked that one. The package of three little circle with button icing for $1.50 were better looking than tasting.

Credo - A socially conscious coffee bar that only "suggests" prices. I had a Guatemalan 10 ozer for $1.50. The coffee was fresh. The place was packed. The barista is cute. Almost a cliche it was so coffee bar-esque. On W. Smith St off of Edgewater.

Les Petits Pleasures - A brand new French bakery near the Chinese place and the new unopened fish place on Edgewater. I had an Apple Strudel for $3. I didn't love it, but, that was more because of the raisins they put in it. They also added nuts. It looks like a great little niche player. They pump in French radio. They have breakfast all day. They have crepes. They have quiche. They have sandwiches. And of course - pastries. I can't wait to give it a real go.
