| - One of the great vendors situated along the north wall of the CFM, Yum bakery offers outstanding breads and buns, lovely sweets, but just average scones.
Standout loaves include the mild green onion and wild rice loaf, the funky walnut blue cheese, and the rustic baguette. Steal-of-a-deal has to be the day-olds (likely still fresher than what you're buying at the supermarket). Pick up a massive $2 brioche or aforementioned walnut/blue cheese loaf and make some of the best pain-perdu or french toast you've ever laid your taste buds on,
Yum also has very nice challah buns. These have become our go-to burger buns, though I've found quite dark, almost-burnt, bottoms on these and the small sub/panini buns before. Taste on these brown bottoms is actually quite nice, but can be visually a little disconcerting if you have fussy eaters (or are a little neurotic yourself...)
Tarts and pies have been great. Chocolate and salted caramel tarts are lovely, coconut tart or larger pie is out-of-this world and priced well (I think around $15 for a 10" cream pie).
Only things that have been a little underwhelming have been the chocolate sourdough buns (not chocolate enough to be sweets, or sourdough enough to be savory...I'm just not sure what to do with them), and pleasant, but not outstanding scones.
Still, I'd gladly eat most anything available there, and will go out of my way for the challah and wild-rice loafs.
