★★★★★Edited 2 years agoGreat bakery with bread they make which is more humid than regular breads which I think is great and tasty. The bread also lasts much longer and doesn’t dry out as fast really loved that! Vincent also does a lot of other stuff which is delicious much appreciated thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up I ll be back soon!
