Amazing small business bakery! John and Alexandra were so kind. The baguettes were delicious. We bought 6 and they were all gone in 15 minutes with soup and chili.

EDIT: I was extremely confused about some details when I first wrote the review. I've submitted a (final! really!) update to the main listing. I'd heard about the truck, but never managed to...
