On the Grid : Cannelle Patisserie
"Cannelle’s is located in an unassuming strip mall next to a nail salon and a drugstore that just happens to serve top notch French pastries and desserts. The chef partners, Jean-Claude Perennou and Gnanasampanthan Sabaratnam met while working at the Waldorf Astoria. Their onsite kitchen means that fresh-baked goodness is being brought out on the regular. The whole neighborhood lines up on weekend mornings, but their lunch options are just as dreamy — buttery quiches and sandwiches including a revelatory tuna and spicy guacamole sandwich on fig bread and a perfect butter and country ham on rustic baguette." - Diane Shaw
