The Top 5 Bakeries Near Mama’s Kitchen

Rank 1. Saint Bread
Japanese-Influenced Bakery
A James Beard-winning bakery sitting canalside in a converted boat repair shop, which is already a good start. The pastries pull from France, Scandinavia, and Japan all at once, so your morning cardamom croissant might share a tray with yuzu polenta cake. The menu is loosely organized by how many slices of bread are involved, which is the kind of system you appreciate once you're holding an okonomiyaki and not questioning it.

Rank 5. Hey Bagel
Bakery
The bagels here are the point, full stop. This University Village bagel shop does one thing obsessively well: baking rounds with crackly, golden exteriors and a chewy, fragrant interior that makes you realize most bagels have been lying to you. Fair warning, they won't slice, toast, or schmear for you. Cream cheese comes on the side for ripping and dipping, New York style. Purists will get it immediately; everyone else comes around fast.
