Pour avoir goûter à quasiment tous ce qui est fait maison, je ne peux que recommander cette boulangerie. Tout est bon je dirais même excellent (chocolat maison) et ce que j'apprécie particulièrement, c'est que le patron commande local et n'emploie pas d'huile de palme. Le personnel est avenant et sympathique de plus on peux y boire son café 😀
