The Placid Baker is a highly acclaimed bakery, known for its excellent breads, pastries, and more. Their dark rye bread is particularly popular and has been described as superior to traditional pumpernickel. It is a local favorite for picking up fresh bread, especially lively during the Farmers Market on Saturdays. Among the top recommendations are the Kouign-amann, which are excellent and often sell out, almond croissant, and chocolate pecan tart. The egg-filled biscuits are also a real treat—it's best to have them heated. While bagels were found to be denser than some might prefer, the bakery's other options, including the Finnish rye and the pretzel, are widely praised. The establishment is dog-friendly and offers a variety of decadent treats, with a few 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. Don't forget to try their pizza for a possible new favorite.
