Bon Appétit

If you have read this far, you may agree that French bakeries deserve their own section for this piece! Many of these do not just offer baked goods, but also an array of lighter fare.

- 

Antoinette Boulangerie, Red Bank. A boutique French bakery, it is a pretty space making pretty French treats that are pretty delicious, too.

Cafe Madelaine, Jersey City. Billed as experts in French pastry and coffee, which should be reason enough to visit.

Délice Macarons, Cranford. There is far more to Délice than macarons, but the quality and popularity of their macarons is only matched by the variety of colors and flavors. As opposed to moving here from the city, a second storefront opened on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
