Fournée Bakery

Arriving early on a Sunday morning is a tactical necessity here. I managed to secure street parking directly across from the shop. Because it was Sunday, the metered spots were free, which felt like a massive win given how notoriously restrictive parking is around this area. The retail space operates on a micro-footprint, but the kitchen utilizes it to output a staggering, world-class lineup of laminated pastries and artisan sourdoughs. A formidable queue had already materialized by the time the doors unlocked, but the front-of-house team cleared it with impressive, rapid-fire efficiency. The indoor staging area for guests waiting to order is exceptionally tight, meaning it gets congested immediately as the first morning tickets drop. Ham and Cheese Croissant: A savory laminate featuring premium rosemary ham and melted Manchego cheese. While the outer shell didn’t offer as many distinct shatter-layers or the extreme, brittle crunch of other regional benchmarks I've audited recently, the flavor balance was undeniably superb. Canelé de Bordeaux: An absolute triumph. It delivered a flawless, sustained crunch from the deeply caramelized wax-and-butter crust, yielding to a perfectly

Located in front of the Claremont Hotel Fournée Bakery is a cute, small artisan bakery serving up sweet and savory baked goods, sandwiches and bread. The store is all retail and there’s no seating available. I only got some almond chocolate croissants so that’s all I can comment on. From the photo, the croissant is actually surprisingly dense and not puffy, but taste wise very good. Strong almond flavors and not excessively sweet. I quite like it. Parking in this neighborhood is always a bit challenging so you might have to drive around a bit.

Best bakery in the area and early morning lines are not just hype. Amazing bakery, get there early as they run out of everything quickly and lines form before they even open at 7am. Best croissant in the bag area, incredible and picturesque baguettes and levain. Parking can be tricky

Tried the Almond croissant, chocolate almond croissant, mixed fruit croissant and a morning bun. Croissants are on the dense side not buttery and flaky. Very sugary and sweet. They have a selection of sweet and savory Pastries. Sweet pastries are on the average side .
