A Wish Or Two Ago

"Finally NOT disappointed in a bakery!! So often the food just is so "meh". Not this place. Honestly, SO delicious!! The turnovers, the croissants, the trifles, we had them all and they were amazing. This bakery can BAKE!!"

"Lovely french bakery. We stopped today for coffee and dessert. We all had something different (4 orders). The baked goods and the coffee were wonderful. It also has lovely gift items for sale. A pleasant stop if you are in the Mt. Dora area."

"I have been going to "A Wish Or Two Ago" for many years now, both at the Rt 44 Location near Grand Island before the building was sold out from under them, and now at the new Eustis location that opened last July. I have lived in Paris, Manhattan, and San Francisco, towns all known for fabulous bakeries, and I have never found a better place to buy my croissants, baguettes, morning pastries, dessert pastries, even Crème Brule, various Quiches, and monumental special holiday desserts. I used to make my own croissants and baguettes; having tasted those made by Phillipe, I no longer do. We entertain, including some formidable dinner parties, on a very regular basis, and Kathleen and Phillipe ALWAYS supply some aspect of the meals. For the special occasions, there are always the flavored croissant (chocolate; almond cream, etc) and Bavarian Cream Eclairs, but for HOLIDAYS there are things like a decadent peach glazed pie that Phillipe did this year for Thanksgiving (also in apple) and the masterpiece, his Bûche De Noël - the best I've ever had. Funny story - there's a post here on Google Maps from a woman who complained about an "off-taste" in one of Phillipe's croissants her husband brought home; I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that he brought home ALMOND CREAM croissants, and expecting a plain butter croissant, her taste buds were shocked... This is why we tasted with our mouths, not our expectations! :) I've been tasting great food for over seventy years, and the work these two do at A Wish or Two Ago is of the highest caliber."

"We have been looking at that “coming soon” sign for months, but finally, they’ve opened. This review is from day 3 of business. Upon walking in, it honestly felt like they had been there for years. Whoever designed the inside, really put some back work into it. There are antiques and collectibles everywhere. They even have a rental space for parties. When we got there, there was a line of about six people for the bakery. It went very fast, or I was very distracted by all the things around me anyway. My purchase consisted of a Nutella pecan roll (it may have been walnuts, but I forgot to write this review the day I did it), a caramel crunch cookie, and a chocolate croissant. The Croissant was gone before I could heat it up. It was absolutely perfect, even at room temperature. The cookie was so sweet and delicious. I did have half when I got home and half later that evening. Now, that Nutella roll? At first, I took a bite at room temperature. And I was really not a fan of the texture. To resolve this, I cut it in half and microwaved for about 15 seconds. Ya’ll, that did the trick. It was fluffy and soft and warm and just perfect. I will be coming back here. NOTE: it is my understanding that the business will be closing at the end of August for two months while the owners visit France. They’ll be reopening at the end of October. So get it now, while you can."
