I'm a regular at this bakery, visiting once or twice a week as I take my dog for a walk - the stuff is good in here although I think it's a bit pricy.

There was also some hygiene issues, with no gloves worn or hands washed between touching the register and the bread. These are pretty easy fixes and the bread itself tastes good, so we're hopeful that things can be corrected for the next...
