" It's not a bakery! " This comment has heard it on several occasions from bakers. So yes, of course the bread is not done on the spot, but it is very good bill, its regular mie, its crust crispy. It is unnecessary to lift the hammer and the burin to attack it, as may be the case for some rods of bakers whose name is better off. And the choice, basic, is still there. The bread shop did not always, normal it is open late and even on Sundays. There are tons to eat, there are tons! And in addition, there are always promotions on them. Gluttonous, good business in perspective!
