With so many amazing bakeries here... you might never leave the city limits, but to be a total bakery aficionado, you will need to do a little driving!

Here are the must-visits:

Noisette Pastry Kitchen

Ahh... the French! This classic pastry shop is reminiscent of a Parisian cafe. Noisette Pastry Kitchen must-haves include the mozzarella, basil and sundried tomato sandwiches on a fresh baguette, their homemade pate, the goat cheese biscuits, tarts and of course, the croissants.

Provisions

Like a European marketplace, the bustling vibe here inspires lingering over your coffee, shopping for fresh produce and bicycling home with a baguette. You can also do all your gift shopping here, and if you aren't careful, come home with all new kitchenware for your home! Provisions' baked goods include baguettes, macarons, muffins, scones and tarts. And you can also get hot breakfasts, full take-home meals to go and a variety of deli sandwiches, salads and pizzas.
