My husband and I have been customers for over 10 years and each visit is still a magnificent treat. Because we have little kids, the market and bakery options have allowed us decedent moments at home, though we look forward to the Bistro reopening so one of these days we can finally go on a date to experience the in-depth flavors while having a quiet moment away from the little ones.

Many tried and true staples have been consistently enjoyed- quality of cafe au lait ☕️ , range of baked goods, the to-go sandwiches (the Parisian❤️), the house made pâté, the rotisserie chicken (thanks for the day old discount option) and the delicious salad dressing (OMG- how is it so good?!). We have very much enjoyed the well curated wine and champagne selections offered in the market. In fact, the ten dollar bottles of champagne sold between 2020-2023 got us through the Pandemic (merci! 🥂)

Tonight’s at home take out meal of beef bourguignon with, I believe it was called, Parisian vegetables made in a ratatouille-style over a bed of caramelized onions was one of the most mouthwatering meals we’ve ever had- ever and we consider ourselves foodies. As the last bites were negotiated, we agreed this published review was critical to remind / inform people of the skill, straight-up pure magic, and thoughtful artwork at PB. Thank goodness we don’t live closer to PB or we would invade and plunder the boulangerie on a daily basis.

Brief tips for other parents:

-Order ahead on the website. We’ve even ordered coffees ahead. -Buy the day old chickens. (You have to ask the server.) Taste better and less money so you can buy more baked goods! -grab mustard and pickles from the market area to keep the flavors going. We will also buy our own cheeses etc. to compliment the spreads, especially if we are sharing with guests. It saves a bit of $ as well. -the premade dinners are often sold in airtight freezer bags, perfect to freeze and enjoy when you’re tired and can’t cook. -if you’re prego and can’t enjoy caffeine, the hot chocolate is to die for, prego or not. -grab the bread loaves and freeze for later. -my fav trick if you didn’t order online in advance- grab a coffee from the take-out counter on the outdoor porch, then enjoy it while you wait in line and dream of what you’ll order.

Thank you for all the years of delicious meals. We will see you again in a few weeks.
