Yalaha Bakery, Antiques District - Closed

I bought two desserts at this German bakery near the ballet on N.Orange today. The "levain" store is in Yalaha (bakers will get the reference). I had a pecan square for $5 and a "sinkhole" for $4. The pecan part of the square looked like a rice krispie and was good. The pastry shell bottom was a little stale and unnecessary. The "sinkhole" was a circular brownie with a ganache/frosting puddle in the center. It was ok. A little stale too. The place looked promising. They had German preserved meats and bread and all manner of pastries. I just question their obsession/commitment with freshness. I would wager they don't toss out merchandise on a daily basis. Maybe you will time it right (or not notice).
