I discovered this bakery roughly three years ago and it is the perfect ‘elevated’ French bakery. Flakey pastries, not overly sugared and flavorful! They have a wide array of bakery staples like croissants, breads, cookies and cakes. Both breakfast items and lunch items are offered and their menu is updated frequently keeping you informed of the days specials or limited runs.

Flamenkuche (shown above), can be best described as a ham and cheese bagel but it is so much more than that. The bread is light and airy and delicious! I finished off my breakfast with a “Paris Brest” (below) which I originally misread as Paris Best, which it could have been. The mousse was light and the pastry was flaky and lightly sweet.

Yes you can spend an irresponsible amount of money here but it is worth every dime. Be forewarned, the pastries here can be a little pricey and Saturday mornings will have a line of roughly 20 – 30 people waiting to get in but if you plan accordingly, you won’t be disappointed. This is clearly one of Medford’s best!
