Nothing too notable. The sticky bun was made with croissant dough (good) but overbaked (bad). Bite into it and everything disintegrates and there's no pleasant chewiness but just flour flakes melting in your mouth. Focaccia is under baked and has no gluten development and very pale. Entremets were just okay

The selection at this bakery is always fantastic. I have been here numerous times, and have never been disappointed with my selections.
The prices are very reasonable - so much so that buying bread is cheaper than buying mass produced bread from the grocery store, and you get a much tastier and healthier bread.
Also, the service staff are always very friendly, and very patient with my decision paralysis when faced with such a wide selection of treats.

Unfortunately, downgrading my review to three stars as the last two times that I've gone there's been virtually no desserts to purchase and still 2 hours to closing.

After living in Charlottesville for well over a decade, I can't believe I never left a review. This is by far the best bakery in the US that I have been to, and up there in the world. As graduate students, we had small orders, but they always left our order aside for use to come in later to pick up. Their desserts are to die for, and their baguettes and batons are better than some I've had in Paris. Their sour dough is hands down the best in town. They also seem active in the community. When I was in a local run marathon training group (shout out to ragged mountain), the owner was there. If you are traveling through town or a local, check them out if you haven't.

Everything I've tried from ABC has been phenomenal. From the cookies to pastries to breads, it never disappoints. Service is fast & friendly and everything always tastes fresh. I make a point to stop in as much as possible when I'm in Charlottesville.
