Hankering for traditional french bread, croissants, and deserts can be met by a quick trip across the Atlantic and a petit visit to the heartbeat for la joie de vivre Française, the patisserie. A closer visit can be had by dropping into Greenwich’s best bakery, Raphaël’s. Located on the quiet Mason street, a leafy side street that runs parallel to Greenwich Ave. the bright orange awning beckons to this family-owned and operated store.
The first of your senses to be activated in the delightful smell of fresh-baked bread. The second sense to be activated is the endless baguettes that get pulled piping hot from the oven and whisked into patrons’ hands or a large wicker basket ready for sale. Freshly made sandwiches along with cakes and tarts fill the display cases. And there is enough french being spoken to allow you to close your eyes in this cozy bakery and imagine that you have landed somewhere in France.
