"They have amazing baguettes, and their banh mi is my favorite in the city, for sure. I also love the almond stick, which is like a big, long, almond pastry that’s all crispy and delicious. I like to dip it in the Vietnamese iced coffee." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"James Beard Award nomination letters dot the wall at this French bakery owned by Amanda Eap and Andre Chin. The baguettes and country loaves are given a properly long and slow eight-hour rise and finished in a steam-injection oven for supreme crust and crumb. Don’t skip the divine almond croissants either, and banh mi on their signature banh mi rolls are a standout." - Dayna Evans, Sarah Maiellano
