I traveled over an hour to get to this shop, as I had a recipe that required a flour that I could…read moreonly find at this shop. The price online was $6.50, but the gentleman at the counter charged me $8.95. When I asked about the discrepancy he said that online price was wrong. I travelled all that way so I paid the price that he gave me. I went to the website after I left to double-check, and I am still able to purchase it online for $6.50, so I don't think he was being honest. There was none of the flour that I was requesting up front, so he went to the back to get it. The bag he gave me is unlabeled, so now I am not even sure if I got the correct product, since I can't trust him. I was so happy to support a local business, but feel very taken advantage of. I can't speak to the quality of the products, they may be very good, but I can tell you that being lied to, does not feel great and does not make me want to come back to this shop.

When it was our turn he just walked off and started messing with the machine. Then another lady came out and the two of them were working on the machine for another 10 minutes. No one said anything to all of us waiting, they just had a line of people standing there without addressing anyone. When someone finally asked if they had any left and the lady said no not until tomorrow. Just really awful customer service and a poor way to run things.

I always remember the wonderful stories of my Mom running into the famous Julia Child (she's 6 feet tall!!) who was 'French Chef' on WGBH TV to all of the Homemaker cooks de cuisine Française in 1970s America. Thank you and God bless you, Savenor's for lasting so long, and most of all, Chef Julia Child who blessed us mere mortals with the Art of French Cooking! You were a pioneer and role model. My Mom gave me my first cookbook a labor of love co-authored by Julia Child and Simone Beck "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" as a gift. I did at least learn how to prepare a proper omelette, and once, a good Hollandaise! Bon Appétit!

Walk inside and you'll see shelves behind the counter stacked with all kinds of loaves. Just let whoever is helping you up front which one(s) you'd like either whole or sliced. I ended up picking up two of their pull-apart brioche mini buns, a Valrhona chocolate chunk cookie, and a couple of thumbprint-style cookies- one raspberry and one nectarine. Do note- the cookie I got is made like into this hockey puck style cookie. It was buttery which I liked- but it's crumbly and falls apart- so did the thumb print type pastries. Everything looked fresh and the service was friendly. Definitely worth making the stop. Oh- and they also have these independent soft drinks and juices in the glass fridge.

This place is a must for a great sandwich.
