In January Andrew Knowlton did a piece in Bon Appetit on the 10 best bakeries in America and a bakery in Seattle is listed!Especially worth your dough here are the Macrina Casera ("of this house" bread made with a natural wild starter created from organic grapes) and the oatmeal buttermilk bread (ideal for sandwich making). 1943 First Avenue South; 206-623-0919; macrinabakery.com
He has obviously not been to Holly B's Bakery on Lopez Island in the beautiful San Juan Islands!
She has wonderful pastries and her own cookbook With Love and Butter which I had to purchase!
See if a Bakery in your area made the top ten list!

I love this...knowing where the best bakeries are if you are visiting in one of these places. San Francisco or Seattle for example. We didn't have one listed for AZ...Oh well :-) Guess you had to be at the right place at the right time to get listed :-) We have a couple of long time bakeries here as well. I just love the smell, taste, texture of fresh baked breads...I have a wonderful loaf sitting on the counter right now, made by a local bakery...:-) ~Blessings, Janet
