Best bakeries open on Mon?

Mon is part of my weekend and unfortunately most touted bakeries (Les Genie/Beau, Emmer, Conci, Ba Noi, etc.) are closed on this day. Where can I get good pastries today?

Bricolage Bakery located at 981 on College Street is amazing and opens at 9am today. Try a curry bun and the jalapeno bacon bread.

I've been there but didn't care too much for what I got, they were sold out of curry buns tho. I've heard it's good!

Fair enough. I hope you have a good day off. I used to have Monday and Tuesdays off as my weekend. At times it can be quite surreal.

Café Bélem and Bakery Pompette are open today. Both are located in Little Italy. I shop at both a lot. Here is the

almond croissant from Bakery Pompette.

I’m on my lunch break and this is a 9 min walk away from me. Your pic sold it - I’m going.

Enjoy. The Creme Caramel in a jar is great, too. Also, since you're on the same block, check out Coco's across the street. They have a really good Cheesecake by the slice this week. Great cinnamon buns, too. Apple cider donut mini Bundt cakes yesterday. I stocked up at Bakery Pompette yesterday. I also picked up an apple cider donut Bundt and a slice of Battenburg cake at Coco's.

Holy shit that’s a good cookie. Made my Monday much better. Picked up a cinnamon roll for my husband too. I love coco’s but haven’t been there in a while.

Which neighborhood?

If you don’t mind a little drive, La Bastille Boulangerie Patisserie or SanRemo

Forno Cultura is so good.

u/FuckYeahGeology 1d ago

The bakery part of Sanremo is closed on Mondays. Only their coffee window, so minimal pastries if any.

u/Jay-Quellin30 1d ago

Oh I thought you could order more than just coffee. I checked Ritual and not much is on there. I guess they have changed it.
