Breadsmith
Multiple locations
In a society where megawatt grocery stores eliminate the need to visit small specialty shops for a particular type of product, there’s something to be said for doing just that. The warm and cozy Breadsmith shop on Downer Avenue is lined with shelves of fresh hearth-baked breads and high-quality bakery. In addition to the regular lineup of breads available daily, each day of the week features its own tasty specialty bread. (S.B.)
