La Farm Bakery ★ 4.4
The Triangle's premier French boulangerie by James Beard-nominated Master Baker Lionel Vatinet. Breads, pastries, and viennoiseries baked fresh daily.
The canonical version and where to order it.
Lionel Vatinet's James Beard-recognised French boulangerie produces a sourdough batard using a long-fermentation process that Vatinet developed over three decades of professional bread-making. The crust is deep mahogany; the crumb is open but not gummy. The Glenwood South location (downtown Raleigh) runs the same programme as the flagship Cary location. Available from opening at 07:30; the weekend supply sells out by mid-morning.
