The Best Bakeries in Albany, by the Record
Albany has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Pâtisserie Rotha, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.

Rank 1. Pâtisserie Rotha
French Bakery
The doors close at 11 a.m. and the croissants are often gone well before that, which means showing up to this small French patisserie in Albany is a bit like gambling, but with better odds if you arrive early. The plain croissant is the one people reorganize their mornings for, thin-layered and butter-crisp. Canelés, kouign amann, and egg custard tarts fill out the short menu until they don't.
