At Boulangerie de Froment et de Sève, reviewers praise a wide selection of pastries and breads with a Parisian bakery vibe, and consistently highlight croissants, pains au chocolat, and the kouign amann as standout treats.

Reviews for Maison Bonbec celebrate the rolls, babkas and pralines as outstanding, with soft, indulgent textures and perfectly balanced flavors, made by passionate, friendly bakers. There is a sense of frustration at hours that only allow visits on Thursdays and Fridays from noon, with multiple mentions of having to take time off work just to get there and a hopeful promise to return once hours are normal. One order praises a chocolate babka and a praline brioche as possibly the best brioches ever tasted, rich and moist, and well balanced. Cinnamon rolls are generally liked and the pecan version is described as really good, though the plain pastry could benefit from a thicker filling or a flakier crust. Babkas in cinnamon and tiramisu are described as delicious, providing a strong overall impression of high quality despite limited access.View restaurant profile
