Sacr\u00e9 bleu! La Gourmandine is so amazing, I'm going to have to use some fancy French words to do it justice.\n\nWho would have thought a bakery, much less a bakery in Central Larryville, may be one (if not THE) best in city? I especially enjoy the Le Campagnard lunch special - 6 bucks and change for a delicious baguette with turkey and cheese, including a drink. You can pay that amount and get bread baked in a toaster oven down the street at Jared's Sandwich Shop and wait in line for 25 min. to eat that delicacy, or pop on in to La Gourmandine for fresh French bread that will fill you up even better.\n\nAh, always the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of my La Gourmandine experiences, the Marquise. I love Cr\u00e8me Brulee, and this delicious (and LARGE) pastry combines that with crispy caramel and dark chocolate mouse. It melts in my mouth. The ladies that work at LG make me giggle when they ask if I'd like it placed in a box for later....I'm lucky if it makes it till I get home! \n\nSpeaking of the LG ladies, the staff there is very friendly, even when dealing with large crowds. The busiest times seem to be weekend mornings. I never have a wait when I stop by during weekday lunch hours.\n\nA BIG merci beaucoup to La Gourmandine, a taste of Paris right here in our own Hipster Paradise.
