Fin de la Galette

Proposed. The galette season officially ends in late January, but every French boulangerie continues selling them through February because the demand does not stop, and the French do not stop eating frangipane just because the calendar says the season is over. The galette does not care about the calendar. The galette cares about the appetite.

Three vibrant fruit mimosas with garnishes, perfect for a sunny day brunch.

Jour du Mimosa

The mimosa blooms in January on the Riviera, and every Parisian who sees the yellow flowers in the flower shops knows that the South is already warm and the North is still cold and the distance between them is the distance between hope and reality.
