Is there a single decent bakery in Greensboro? When I mean decent, I mean one where I can get a French pastry which half way resembles a true French pastry? I've been searching. Been to Delicious, Gnom Gnom, The Fresh Market and no where can I find a decent napoleon. Napoleon as in a mille-feuille.

I thought I may have lucked out when I walked into Fresh Market and looked through the case to find something labeled "Napoleon" in the case. I bought 3 at a whopping $4.00 a piece to find out they're processes cake crap that tastes nothing like what I had in Paris. Furthermore I'm no virgin to all this. We commonly made these when Shan worked on the west coast at a prestigious bakery. Whatever the Fresh Market has... isn't a napoleon. They were dried out, and filled with the wrong flavors.

All I want is a real French mille-feuille. I'm taking suggestions.

I don't know if they bake pastries, but I've had a couple of cakes that justify their name, have you tried Delicious?

Yep, went to Delicious... had a lovely blondie.... but no Napoleon..... It's my mission to find one. Surely Greensboro must have a decent French pastry shop somewhere?????

Unfortunately, the Triad is a wsteland when it comes to decent pastries, with the exception of a couple of Mexican bakeries. Mozart's Bakery in Columbus, Ohio does a decent Napolean and will ship. good luck

Gladly.... LOL!!!

Does Simple Kneads do one?

Dunno... but I will check them out this week and find out... Thanks for the suggestion....

The way it's looking, I guess I might just have to fly back to France. Oh darn.

No they don't... I tried today... they do have several stoned guys working there.... very odd experience it was.

Come and visit, I'll take you to Manuel Latruwe's



They're as good as anything I've had in Europe. Not cheap but worth it.

Oh that looks to die for....

Want so bad....
