The team at this North Guadalupe bakery deserves an award for cracking the science behind baking at high altitudes. Their jam-packed display case can be overwhelming, so here are the priorities: almond croissants that are always perfectly laminated and crisp, flaky strudel with tangy insides like poppy seed cherry, and soft gingerbread that pairs well with a latte. There’s sit-down service and a good amount of space for a casual brunch over omelets and salmon tartine, but keep in mind the parking lot is tiny. Go on the earlier side to beat the rush, order a bunch of pastries to go, and grab one of their panko-breaded tilapia sandwiches for lunch.
