Caramelized Croissants Specialty Of Just-Opened Warminster Bakery

WARMINSTER, PA —The doors opened at 7 a.m. Friday for the grand opening of the new Meadowlark Bakery & Cafe' and by 2 p.m., most of the day's fresh-baked goods had flown off the shelves and into people's mouths.

"It's been a busy day," Manager Emily Grubbs told Patch Friday afternoon. "We sold out of everything we had today."

That's what happens when bakery Owner and Chef Brian Young whips up his specialty, caramelized croissants, Grubbs said.

The bakery opened in the Hartsville Commons on 1414 Old York Rd. Grubbs said it will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, but could expand hours down the road.

Grubbs said she met Young during the summer and the bakery took shape through a lot of renovations, including a complete cafe' makeover.

"We have been working around the clock, building, designing, tasting, and living Meadowlark. Now it's time for the team to welcome in the community," Young posted on the bakery's Facebook page.

Young, a Maine native, specializes in a vast array of French and American specialty hearth breads, pastries, and savory cuisine.

He attended Southern New Hampshire University and studied Culinary Arts at The Culinary Institute of America, according to the bakery's website.

Young bakes classic French pastries from scratch, his specialty the Kouign Amann, essentially a caramelized croissant, is a fan favorite. He also makes all sorts of breads, sandwiches, and other items.

The scratch bakery and cafe also serves locally roasted coffee and espresso from Calm Waters out of Bristol.
