J'Adore the French Bakery

The Write-Up

The full story

An unassuming little French bakery in Altamonte Springs that regulars describe as a sleeper. The croissants are crisp and crunchy outside, layered and puffy inside, and nothing in the case runs too sweet: baguettes, a braided bacon twist, and canele, all subtle and impeccable. The room is small, and the pastry makes the argument by itself.
