Don't you just love walking into a bakery and being greeted by mind blowingly good aromas? Don't you love it even more when those smells translate into delicious baked goods. That basically sums up a visit to Patrice Patissier. There are so many yummy treats on display that narrowing down your choices is no easy task. Ultimately though I went with the kouign amann which had a sweet, crispy exterior and an airy, buttery interior.
The bakery is huge and even includes an area for cooking classes (which are already full for the spring sigh). There's ample seating and it's definitely worth while staying to enjoy your goodies here. I will definitely be returning here when I'm in the Atwater Market area.
