Crossroads Bake Shop

Any bakery that prints its kitchen schedule (country French loaves available Friday; potato-rosemary rolls on Saturday) and breaks that schedule down to the hour (crisp, yeasty French baguettes every day after 10 a.m.; German rye Wednesday after 1 p.m.) is taking bread — and its customers — seriously. But whenever you arrive at Crossroads Bake Shop, there’ll be something baking in the surprisingly quaint strip-mall spot. And we warn you: Once you smell the sweet-scented macaroons, you won’t leave without a lineup of desserts.
