1. Gingerbread Haus Bakery
Gingerbread Haus hides out on the South end of Queen Street. And hush, hush! This spot seems to go fairly under the radar with its epic snacks, lunches and breads!
I use to walk past the Haus on my daily route, but it took a friend mentioning its…More »
2. Julien's French Bakery & Cafe

I finally made it to this North End hotspot, and it was everything I'd envisioned and more. Fred's fusion of Cafe / Salon / Gallery is a well executed vision with the big city buzz.
Its quarters bring an energy that's unique to any spot in the city.…More »
9. Satisfaction Feast - CLOSED
