text: Items sampled include: \n\nStrawberry Doughnut\nPecan Honey Bun\nChristmas Tree Old Fashioned\nChocolate Croissant\nHam, Egg, Cheese, Rosemary Bechamel Wafflewich\n\nDriving to Vegas for the first time and thus with far more off-strip mobility than prior my Christmas vacation began in Henderson as I awaited the arrival of my friend's plane from Florida - a perfect time for pastry beginning at former Bouchon Bakery master Chris Herrin's Bread and Butter, a large bakery and sandwich shop in a rather unattractive strip mall but a true case where you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.\n\nFeaturing friendly service, ample seating, and a selection of pastries both classic and novel I was lucky to arrive just as a fresh order of brioche strawberry doughnuts were emerging from the fryer and identical to those at Bouchon both the eggy dough and thick jam were expertly crafted - a theme that would carry over to both the crisp and flaky chocolate croissant and the nearly half-pound cupcake, rife with cocoa and topped with thick vanilla frosting.  Less successful, the honey bun was simply a case of an item sitting on the counter for too long - the flavor fine but the yeasted dough already getting weighed down by the ample, rich toppings.\n\nMoving to more savory options, the restaurant's signature Wafflewich would prove to be every bit as delicious as any sandwich crafted of similar high quality ingredients but literally drowned with creamy Bechamel I personally would have preferred the waffles to be a bit more crisp, perhaps even a bit 'crunchy' for texture...but I have to say the rosemary was an inspired touch to what was otherwise a well executed croque madame and although I'm not sure I would call Bread and Butter a 'destination' bakery I'd certainly return if driving up from Phoenix again.
