The Ginger Snap Patisserie offers a wide range of baked goods including French classics.

"I just wanted to open up a place that was bright and happy and modern," says owner and pastry chef Sara Reynolds. "At the end of the day it's a bakery with delicious things like cookies and brownies. Everything that makes people smile. We wanted the environment to match that."

Reynolds is a native of East Aurora, and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Three years ago she decided to return to her roots to share her years of knowledge and culinary expertise. The Ginger Snap Patisserie opened in March.

"I have a degree in baking and pastry arts. In that degree I learned a lot about classic European techniques. I really wanted to use those skills that I have in my back pocket. I was able to do that by opening a place that not only serves American baked goods, but also more elegant elevated desserts," said Reynolds.

The dessert case at the Ginger Snap Patisserie is always filled with goodies baked each day on premises.

It's the customers who benefit. And it's not only the incredible pastries that keep people coming back for more. The Ginger Snap Patisserie also offers a lunch menu that includes soups, sandwiches and salads. Breakfast items are made using buns baked in-house daily. The egg and cheese sandwich on a fresh croissant bun was a popular item during our visit.
