The best bread and croissants in Pittsburgh.
My husband and I love bread, eat a lot of it, and have high standards for it as a result. Generally, I bake our bread. We moved from San Francisco, where we enjoyed the famous Tartine and Josey Baker breads on special occasions, and were eager to check out the local bakeries in Pittsburgh. We were so happy to find Five Points and have enjoyed every bread we've gotten there. We usually get the sourdough or multigrain sourdough and are also big fans of the fougasse.
Their croissants (plain and almond) are phenomenal. You have to go early on the weekend or you won't get one. (Same goes for chocolate chip cookies.) I will confess it's hard to pick "The best" croissant in Pittsburgh, since Gourmandine has exceptional croissants, too.
