As mentioned in the previous post, On a Roll Bakery is shut this week which has forced me to consider other options for my work break snacks. Yesterday I was at UQ too early for U-Sushi (and indeed a lot of other food outlets) to be open. I eventually came across Merlo Coffee, where I have had tea and coffee on a number of occasions, but I can't recall ever sampling the food. In my experience the food has always looked and priced to be of high quality. Yesterday I was pleased to see a ham and cheese croissant sitting in their display case. I ordered this and made my way to work. When my break time arrived I was looking forward to this croissant, and all that I can say after eating it is that it was average. It was soft. Most croissants are soft, but this was particularly soft, but not too soft. The croissant itself lacked the slight sweetness I have come to expect in a croissant. The ham, standard but not bad, and the cheese, which for some reason I expected to be Swiss, turned out to be regular, block cheese. However, a standard ham and cheese croissant is not a bad thing and it filled a hole.
