Obsessed with the idea of creating life from pastry, he spent years in his flour-dusted laboratory, weaving strands of croissant dough like sinew, laminating layers with precision, and whispering incantations in the language of patisserie. One stormy night, lightning struck the copper whisk atop his bakery tower. The surge of energy coursed through his creation—a towering figure stitched together from buttery spirals, crescent limbs, and a heart of molten almond paste. It rose from the marble slab, its eyes two glistening cherries, its voice a crackling hiss like steam escaping a proofing chamber. “Je suis… Croi!” it bellowed, knocking over racks of éclairs and sending baguettes flying.

🦩 “Don’t Trust the Lobster” 🦞  by Pink Flamingo, still hungry At Café Plume, where mornings gleam, I sipped my tea and chased a dream. My toast was golden, fruit divine A breakfast fit for wings like mine. Then came a lobster, smooth and sly, With compliments and crustacean eye. He charmed his way with tales and flair, And Pink, too kind, said “Take a chair.” He spoke of tides and gourmet brine, Of kelp soufflé and sea-salt wine. But while I laughed and took a sip My breakfast vanished from his grip. No sorry glance, no crustacean shame,   Just crumbs and clawprints in his name.   So heed me now, from reef to dune:   Don’t trust a lobster before noon.

At Café Plume, where clocks dissolve  And teaspoons hum in minor resolve,  Croissant skeletons, crisp and curled,  Debate the ethics of jam in a parallel world.  One stirs his mocha with a violin string,  Another sips dreams from a porcelain wing.  Their flaky skulls wear monocles of brie,  Discussing quantum toast and existential tea. Naturaly sourced Breakfast Cafe Plume sources its organic coffee and croissants from Breakfast Valley. Three croissant stallions, crisp and bold,   Gallop by coffee, dark and cold.   Strawberry trees in marmalade bloom,   Whistle sweet jazz in breakfast’s room.   Their flaky manes catch morning’s gleam,   Racing through steam like a pastry dream.   And somewhere beyond that buttery bend   A flamingo barista awaits to blend.   Your choice Coffee ?
