"This decades-old Brookline institution came under new ownership a few years back, but Nicole Walsh and Jon Goodman haven’t changed much, aside from adding some modernizations like upgrading the point-of-sale system. The bakery tends to focus on French and Italian loaves, such as baguettes, fougasse, and ciabatta, but customers will also find some German breads, challah, whole grain loaves, and lots more, depending on the day." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
