I need a good bakery!
For better or worse, my kids love bread as much as I do.
We like the crusty Italian or French breads that are hard on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer places to buy these delicacies.
One of my favorite bakeries, Flakowitz in West Boca, closed recently for unknown reasons. It made me realize there are almost no traditional, stand-alone bakeries near where we live.
Has Publix put all the bakeries out of business? Are rents too high to support little bake shops?
In Boca Raton, Kings Market had excellent bread, but they are temporarily out of business. The Boys Market in Delray Beach also has good crusty bread, but I find shopping in the narrow, crowded aisles there too unpleasant.
Do you know a good bakery? Give me a name and I promise to become their best customer!
