What People Are Saying About Le Panier Very French Bakery

In Short
Diners perch on a handful of counter seats (the best offer a view of the Market's foot traffic), for breakfast or lunch of a Brie-smeared baguette chased with a steaming cup of coffee. Francophiles stand in line at this self-proclaimed "Very French Bakery" for a baguette, a brioche or a chocolate croissant. More than a few leave clutching a meringue or a chocolate eclair.

I used to visit this bakery about once every week or so. I would buy a loaf of bread and indulge in an almond croissant. However, recently when I went in, I saw one of the employees drop a loaf of bread on the floor, and then put it back on the shelf! I could not believe my eyes, but I figured this an isolated incident. However, when I told the employee ringing me up (this time I only bought a latte...you can't drop that on the floor!), the employee said that he couldn't say anything to the woman who dropped the bread, saying that she was a manager, and that putting the bread back was a policy. This is ridiculous! I expect my food to be clean before I buy it. I will no longer be a patron of Le Panier bakery.

I just tucked into a bit of the campagne loaf and have to say it's one of the best loaves of bread I've ever had. It's moist, and chewy and the crust it perfectly browned and crunchy. Absolutely worth every penny!
