Bakery$

Styled like a country kitchen, this cake shop serves towering slices on beautiful china (a family heirloom), while an upright piano adorned with flowers and still life paintings overlooks a communal table. The glass display cabinet is the sweet spot, lined with billowing lemon meringue pies, burnished Basque cheesecake, glistening chocolate eclairs and baker Audrey Allard’s signature flower-shaped cinnamon crullers.

Best for: Dreamy desserts in cottage-core surrounds.
