About The Placid Baker

The Placid Baker is a highly acclaimed bakery, known for its excellent breads, pastries, and more. Their dark rye bread remains a local favorite, with many considering it superior to traditional pumpernickel. The bakery is especially lively during the Farmers Market on Saturdays, making it a great spot to pick up fresh bread. Among the top recommendations are the Kouign-amann, which are often sold out, almond croissant, and chocolate pecan tart. The bacon egg and cheese croissant has also received high praise. The egg-filled biscuits are a real treat—it's best to have them heated. While bagels may be denser than some prefer, the Finnish rye and the pretzel are widely praised. The establishment is dog-friendly and offers a variety of decadent treats, with cozy spots to sit both inside and outside. Prices are slightly higher, but the quality of the food and the friendly service make it worthwhile. Customers highly recommend trying their pizza, which features a thick focaccia style crust, inventive toppings, and is considered some of the best in the area.
