La Farine will restore your faith in bakeries. Forget the bagged croissants you’ll see at supermarkets. Starbucks serves nothing close to madeleines. Hello morning buns and savory focaccia! A trip to La Farine is more arousing than your normal cup o’ joe.
What makes the patisserie so special? It’s French-style, for starters. Image a world in which everything is perfectly buttered, insides are fluffy and outsides have a satisfying crispness. These baked delights are guaranteed to clog your arteries, but sweet Jesus, what a way to go!
La Farine is famous for its morning bun, a croissant-cinnamon roll-muffin combo, but it also serves bread, tarts, cakes, cookies and other pastries. For the luncher on the go, we recommend the savory focaccia with toasted got cheese, green onions and pine nuts (clocking in at around $3).
Location: 1820 Solano Avenue, accessible by the 7 and 18 buses (original at 6323 College Ave in Oakland)
Price: less than a paper Lincoln
Notes: Madeleines, at 95 cents each, aren’t just for penny-pinchers.
