A bakery I stand behind. Whatever's fresh in the case is the right answer.
An authentic Italian bakery doing things the traditional way. My move: point at something in the case and trust the process.
A French bakery with great sandwiches and fresh breads. Simple things executed properly, which is harder than it sounds.
A neighborhood bakery worth knowing about. Classic bakery goods, done right.
Try the donut cake. I could explain further, but honestly the words 'donut cake' should be enough.
