If you've never had a Kouign Aman, go to B Patisserie and get ready for a treat! Great neighborhood cafe with open seating and amazing smells. Try one of their sandwich plates for lunch -- about $11.

Yes, I know. It's a chain and Starbucks bought it. Who cares, because apparently Starbucks has left it alone! We highly recommend it for baked goods, fresh OJ, sandwiches and big, fat latte cups!
