This looks like it could be promising. Someone in the area should check it out and report back!

I dropped by LeoNora bakery on Sunday morning. The friendly owner, and one other woman, were making croissants and a variety of pastries at the time.

I picked-up a baguette and a pain de campagne. The former was still warm; both were good. The baguette has a fantastic, crackly crust and malleable interior. The texture of the pain de campagne was a little dense/heavy but otherwise quite tasty. My only real disappointment: no sourdough was available at the time...

Making croissants at the time you say? Oh, that sounds like heaven.

I will probably check it out really soon, I have heard great things from numerous people.

I'll bet alkapal is in her car right now! I believe this is the baker about whom she reported favorably not too long ago.
