 On Sunrise down the street from Publix in Palm Beach. Going to this bakery makes me like living here. Please don't go if you're in a hurry. The owner is from France - he's been here forever but he doesn't speak English very well. If there is someone in front of you who speaks French, you might as well sit down and wait because it's going to be a while. I love it. Best things to get: apple tart, sugar cookies, chocolate crossaint, blueberry muffins, baguettes, sandwiches, bouche de noel (not sure if that's spelled correctly), pretty much whatever he and his wife make is great. The store doesn't have the "gloss" some of the other french bakeries have but if you go too late on a Saturday morning forget about getting your first pick of crossaint. I always say "bonjour monsiour" in the worst french accent (think southern). But I don't care. I'm in the moment. |

 Being from the south I always think of a monogram. I don't think the owners of Paris in Town thought about theirs though. I love going to the P.I..T. (by the way, I've gotten other people to start calling it this so watch out, it's catchy). They have an all around great menu. For desert try the chou chou's - they're a pastry without any filling - just air. |

| On County a couple of shops down from Hamburger Heaven in Palm Beach. The pastries are good here too but I really love to look at the chickens and Gien plates. An artist makes these great chickens - you have to see for yourself. |

| On Dixie Hwy in Lake Worth. I know lots of people who love their pies. I'm not really a pie person (more of a cake one actually) so I have only received their pies not bought one. This is a "need to know about place". |
