What R N likes about La Fournette:
I'm visiting from Seattle which has its fair share of French bakeries. I have to say, La Fournette is the closest to the real thing that I've had stateside. The foodstuffs and the coffee are AMAZING. View all feedback.

They do a fantastic job with the breads especially with the sourdough. We usually swing by early Sunday morning and by the end of the day

Wish I had discovered this place earlier. It has the best croissants! Their hours are a bit tough to make though since they close early.

Get the bread! In fact, get two so you can snack on one and save one for later.
