The chef's recipes are drawn from multiple European regions and styles found in the United States. With its fresh babka, challah and chicken-salad sandwiches, the bakery feels like a New York deli. The baguettes, croissants and éclairs might come from a Parisian cafe. But the doberge cake and King Cake-style sweets, made to order, give it New Orleans cred.
Best French Bakery and just blocks from the house!
