Swiss Pastry Shop Review by Graysen

Swiss Pastry Shop is a fabulous Swiss American Restaurant and Bakery located on Vickery Street in Fort Worth, Texas. A large glass case full of sweets greets you at the door and past it are dim lights illuminating a calm atmosphere. The floors have green carpet with red vinyl chairs and wood tables atop it. There are landscape murals on the walls. The warm inviting feel of the restaurant is accomplished by the owner, whose goal is to make the inside feel homey and like you're actually in a Swiss Restaurant hidden in the hills of Switzerland where fresh cooked homestyle meals are commonly served. The Swiss meal, presented on the Swiss Pastry shops lunch menu, can be anything from Kaiser rolls to German sausage. A pinch of American is added by also serving warm Deli sandwiches, potato salad, and potato chips. A unique addition to their lunch menu is a plate of fresh fruit including, grapes, strawberries, sliced watermelon and cantaloupe accompanied with a side of cottage cheese and carrot cake. It's rare to find a restaurant where you can order a healthy helping of so much fresh fruit. Not only do they have a delicious lunch, but also breakfast and desserts.

The Swiss Pastry breakfast is phenomenal! You can start your day off with their ravishing delectable coffee. To create the perfect consistency put only one cream and one sweet-n-low! The result is indescribable. It exceeds your wildest dreams. The flavor is rich. The sweetened coffee delivers pure delight. The warmth of the coffee relaxes you.  You feel right at home, content with your cup of heaven. The special coffee brand is a secret, but I'll share it. They use Cane's coffee, the best of the best coffee in America! Don't worry about the coffee in the cup going away because the cup is never empty. Refills are quick.

The breakfast options are endless. You can enjoy a big breakfast with everything on it: Real eggs that aren't too greasy, thick nicely browned hash browns or grits, warm fluffy white biscuits (I swear- these are the biggest fluffiest biscuits I've ever laid eyes on) or toast of your choice, topped off with a good bit of protein: either a thick seasoned sausage patty that sparks your tongue with spices in every bite or soft bacon. This big southern breakfast is fit for a farmer and hits the spot! However, if you are not the big country breakfast type, you can order any of the items separately or an omelet, a breakfast sandwich, a plate of fresh fruits, or their large doughy pancakes that fill the circumfrance of the plate. For those with a craving sweet tooth in the morning, the bakery offers cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, muffins and fruit-filled horseshoes, strudels and pockets.

The wide variety of desserts sold in the Bakery are endless. They are always made daily and fresh. They've got pies, including, fruit, mousse, meringue and cream, plus cakes. Brownies, chewy fruit bars, cookies, and pastries fill the racks. The more delicate items are their fruit tarts, cannelloni, truffles, and cream puffs which, let me warn you, are very very sweet.

Prices are amazingly low for the amount and quality of food you receive. The big breakfast platter is only about $5! Even the lunch prices are low. The service is always fast and very dependable. Those waitresses work hard so if you stop in, be sure to give them a generous tip! Try the Swiss Pastry shop and you'll be impressed to the fullest extent and leave with a big smile and a full tummy!
