Normandy Farms

Delicious local bakery, we have been going here for years. The bread is yummy and on point. I love the casual, local and warm feeling I get here. We typically bike here using the Greenway and it makes for a enjoyable weekend treat. There is also a library across the street that we take the kids after they finish their breakfast. If we don't have the kids, we like to walk around and see the shops. Great shopping center and free parking.

You know that you are in a working bakery when they have a "wanted" sign in the window asking for help coming in at 4 am. A cozy place that smells, looks, and feels like a bakery. Country Batard, croissants, and sandwiches looked fabulous and tasted so much better than anything you can buy at a grocery store. The bread has plenty of fine pores, a wonderful shape with a taste on the lighter, less sour and more wheaty side. The bread was stored after the first day in a plastic bag at room temperature and when toasted was still delicious 5 days later. The croissant was one of the largest and heaviest I ever had and good in taste. That said, I prefer smaller, more buttery and flaky croissants. I apologize for the 4 stars. Compared to grocery store bread this is at least on a 6 star level, but for decades I lived in Europe and compared to those breads, the bread was slightly overbaked and the croissant was missing lamination.
