content: I don't get to go to Mirabelle very often, as I don't live in the Champaign-Urbana area, but piggybacking on the affinity of a lifelong friend who is a local resident, I make a point of going there whenever I am in town. \n\nSo when Ebertfest brought me down to C-U this past Saturday, I was delighted to stop for some pre-show pastries. I got an alligator claw and a palmier, and while so many delectable choices made me worried that I had ordered the wrong things, both things I had were phenomenally fresh, sweet and tasty. \n\nThis is one of my favorite bakeries anywhere on Earth.
