"Starter Bakery built its name and reputation as a wholesale business and farmers market staple, but now owner Brian Wood is fulfilling his dream of opening a cafe and retail shop for his baked goods after 13 years in business. The croissant and brioche recipes are new and improved, so linger over the viennoiserie section and don’t skip the cardamom pistachio bun and kouign amann, or the pecan sticky buns with its brioche base." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
