Muffin

Location: The Bean Counter, Highland Street, Worcester, MA
Meal: Breakfast

I was running late today so I didn't have time to make breakfast. I decided to swing by the Bean Counter and pick up a coffee and hopefully a sinfully delicious pastry. I usually go for the chocolate croissant, and those are always delicious. Today, they were all out of croissants. There was a customer giving the cashier some feedback on that very fact. Nice feedback, but it had probably been going on for quite a while before I got there, and I think the girl working was holding her patience very well.

I settled on a muffin, and while I'd like to give it a thumbs up, today, it was a half-thumb. The muffin was raspberry lemon, and the flavor was very raspberry and lemon, but the muffin was definitely overcooked. The top was hard-ish and chewy, there was melted sugar and other sticky stuff all over the outside of the muffin paper, and the muffin inside the paper had a thick overcooked crust. The center was really good - if only it was all cooked just enough, instead of too much.

The coffee was good- Kenya AA with milk. Smooth, creamy, not bitter, and very hot.
