Circus Bakery

Latin Quarter


Spectacular sourdough cinnamon rolls are the showstoppers at this bakery with a rustic dark-timber exterior and exposed stone and brick interior. Other treats include apple tarts and breads, such as chocolate-marbled varieties, and Parisian-roasted Hexagone coffee to take away. The wood-fired pita sandwiches are definitely pricey, but stuffed to bursting with scrumptious marinated veggies.
