"Chef Kripa Shenoy’s walk-up bakery in the fittingly named East Downtown district has seen an outpouring of local love since opening in 2022. With a traditional French fine-dining background and family ties to India, Kripa’s two influences shine in her pastries ranging from the mango Kouign Amann to the guava cream cheese Danish. Grab a cereal milk latte to wash it all down with beans sourced from local Blackwater coffee roasters." - Brittany Britto Garley
