"Mamadou’s has locations in Arlington and Winchester; hours tend to be limited, and the bakeries have no up-to-date online presence to speak of, but it’s worth a bit of effort to pick up the phone or swing by and see if the doors are open, because Mamadou Mbaye has been baking some of the area’s best baguettes (and croissants and more) for over a decade. Mbaye, who owns the shops with his wife Mame, learned traditional French bread techniques in his native Senegal." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
