The Bear Claw is a nostalgic bakery classic that showcases the skill of our bakers. This large, hand-shaped pastry is made with our tender, buttery dough and filled with a sweet, fragrant almond filling. After baking to a deep golden brown, we finish it with a delicate drizzle of vanilla icing and a sprinkle of sliced almonds.
It is the quintessential sweet pastry for almond lovers, offering a satisfying crunch and a soft, flavorful center.
