for Parisien food ? WhatI would really appreciate is some help with regard to 'the best Bakery/Patisserie /Chocolatier' (name/ address please)in Paris and your personal recs of what you consider as being truly out of this world to...

So I am doing some research on bakeries in Los Angeles and would like to put together a list of some “must-visit” bakeries. What I am looking for are places that have an exceptional or enjoyable atmosphere, places...

I have been going to Mix bakery for steamed pork buns and egg custards for 10+ years. I have seen Banh Mi all over china town, but Somehow the combination of what looked like spam and carrots just did not appeal to me. But after...

Eastern (Jordanian, I think) family-run bakery that offers a large selection of the most deliciously sublime cookies and pastries. There is a delicacy and subtlety of taste and texture that transcend the overly sweet offerings...

I have decided I need one decent, non-Atkins lunch a week, so last week and this I stopped at La Brea Bakery to pick up lunch. It certainly improves the first hour at the office (I don’t start until 12). Last week, I had a...

The new Feel Good Bakery and Marketplace Kitchen Deli at the Alameda Marketplace are still a few days from opening, but this weekend the bakery is sampling some of their breads and the Kitchen is offering a limited menu. If...

(what we think is) sublime, and not-to-sweet cakes that Chinese and Persian bakeries dole out. I love JJ’s and their kin. Link: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/86583#477933

for the wonderful cheese croissants, which are sublime and sell out quickly. My favorite bakery in Edmonton: the Bee Bell Health Bakery 80th Ave & 104th St. I’m very surprised this place hasn’t been mentioned –...

.... Except I don’t usually like them. I find the texture too slimey and shiny, the taste too homogenized. That all changed at Mix Bakery, or Mei Sum; their new card says both. They have a sign on the counter that says...

pistachios, sublime hummos, lamejun, and those wonderful artichoke-stuffed bread gizmos?

I’m trying to find a French bakery that’s as good as Tartine in San Francisco...but out on the Westside of Los Angeles (where I now live). I know it’s poor form to compare different spots but once you’ve...

Despite years of perusing chowhound I never twigged to the Sunset Park La Flor Bakery at 40th and 5th Ave in Brooklyn despite now finding several Leff posts pointing it out in the past. So it is not my discovery but I feel for...

Do not EVER go to Bouley Bakery. My wife and I made a reservation for 10 pm on a Friday night, the only available time. When we arrived, we were told they were running behind and we would have to wait 15 minutes. Which is...

I’m taking a friend out to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow night. I’m not too familiar with Ft. Lauderdale, though. They’re vegetarian and we’re mostly looking for any place with a fun/casual ambience and decent...

I agree on the donuts – I had a vanilla and raspberry one at the Bouchon Bakery in Vegas and both were divine, especially the raspberry. The Red Velvet Cupcake and Carrot Cake muffin were also sublime while the Bread...
