Almondine Bakery

Editorial Review

Dumbo's slice of Gay Paree, minus the intense rudeness. Unflappable baker Hervé Poussot kneads yeast three times daily, still manages to smile. Maybe it's the pastry porn. Eye candy tarts wink from glass display cases. Buttery croissants shake their flaky tailfeathers. Exotic baguettes, part-whole wheat. Sugar prudes scoop up savory ‘wiches in a lunchtime frenzy. Lost out on that pretzel roll, bubbling with cheese? Lick your wounds over raspberry doughnuts, hot chocolate. Not to worry, French women do not get fat, only irritable.
