Our favourites are the small strawberry tarts, the nut cakes and the brewed pears tart (raisinée in French).

Service is always very friendly and the prices are averaged.

There is a reason the line is down the entry steps out the door at most hours of the day. It can even be difficult to get in line on market days (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday) when merchant stalls block a direct path to the door. This bakery-the ovens are just to your left when you are making and paying for your selections-is a cut above the ordinary. And despite how busy they are the folks behind the counter are knowledgeable and friendly. This is our daily bread go-to place in Annecy.

I had been avoiding BdB because it seemed a bit too organized and a bit too clean to have a real neighborhood feel. They had many tempting pastries and chocolates that were tastefully presented in a large display, but (1) it was 7:30 am and too early for a piece of tart or a slice of cake, and (2) I had decided to sample the croissant at each bakery for a fair comparison. Although admittedly I did cheat a little bit and get a croissant des amades (CHF2.20--quite reasonable!). I was expecting a more manufactured taste than the small hole-in-the-wall bakery that I visited last week, considering the larger scale of BdB. Surprisingly, the croissant had a nice, slightly imperfect density and light sticky glaze that made it evident that they were home-made, and the almond paste inside was also a good texture of graininess. In fact, it tasted much fresher than the croissant I had purchased at the smaller bakery. As there are plenty of other bakeries in the area that I have yet to visit as I continue on my quest, I cannot say at this point that I've found my neighborhood baker. But if I'm looking for a little treat, I would not hesitate to go back to BdB to try their many other tasty-looking offerings.

Their baguette rustic is a family favorite. They make bread like I have never tasted before. I don't know what the secret is, but it just tastes better than any other place. It is open until 6:30pm during the week, closed Saturday, and open until 12:30pm on Sunday's. Another bonus! I love that my village market and bakery are open Sunday morning, when everywhere else in Switzerland is closed (most everywhere anyways). Another favorite is the banana chocolate croissant. That is saved for special treats and visitors. They do serve some pastries as well, and I haven't tried them. The bread alone is good enough, who needs desserts!
