As a breadaholic who refuses to drive to Alons (unlike my wife), I go to The Mercantile (hip market on Dekalb in Lake Claire. www.themercantileatl.com/Their French baguettes come "par-baked" frozen from Tribeca Oven, NYC. The Mercantile bakes fresh batches throughout the day, so they're often warm. Price is $3.29 per loaf. Crusty, flavorful with lots of spongy air holes. Picture here: http://www.tribecaoven.com/p_baguettes.htmlSome customers buy the bread frozen and bake it themselves. Enjoy. LOOKING FOR BREAD?

(it was for a child's birthday cake) I was not as cranky then as I am now, but as I talked to other people, there were similar incidents that were basically, take it or leave it. with their orders ...I had been a loyal patron, but after that incident in 1997, I have never gone back, and I've told countless people that there are better places to buy your cakes and breads.
