    Incredible little grocer that has a huge wine selection, cute gift area, tons d European dry goods,…read morefresh produce, fresh bakery and a incredible ready food deli area. You can spend hours in this store looking through the store, prepping dinners or gift shopping! Worth the stop to check it out.

    Providore is a feast for the senses and a great place to treat yo self! Like other reviewers share,…read moreit's not the place to go for your regular grocery resupply, but for items where you want something unique, elevated, and special, this is the place. The market is well-stocked with unique shelf items from around the world-- pastas, jams/jellies, biscuits, oils, vinegars, tinned fish, and legumes. They have a vast deli case with meats, cheeses, and prepared items. The meat and fish counter is magazine-worthy and they feature some hot-food specials using meats and sausages from their counter. The wine selection is expansive-- we even saw a few bottles from the Loire region of France which we had the great fortune decades ago to visit family friends. It was the produce area that really made my heart sing and my eyes bug out. The produce section is colorful, artfully arranged. I could practically feel the antioxidants beaming into my body! I have never seen SO many varieties of alliums in my life. They had four different types of "green onion" (scallion, green garlic, calçot, and red spring onion), plus mahoosive leeks. We had a great experience with service which was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Since we were out and about doing other things we didn't get anything that required refrigeration like cheese, meats or produce, but we did have sandwiches from the deli case which were tasty. I look forward to going back for some of the produce and cheeses.

    Located in a residential area, this looks like a fairly large establishment but only have a few…read moretables set up. This allows for patrons to wait inside without feeling congested but also means you'll have to be quick whenever a table does clear out. The selection of items here aren't much so most people probably come here for their lunch/entree menu. They assemble everything fresh it appears-- they heat up croissants at the griddle and use the toaster oven to heat up others. The cookie was intensely dense and rich in chocolate. The larger sea salt flakes added such a nice contrast to the sweetness.

    After visiting another bakery in town and finding that they had sold out of all their croissants,…read morewe decided to visit Little T American Baker as a backup. In contrast to a lot bakeries that are primarily takeout only, Little T has a much larger footprint with plenty of seating. When we walked in on a weekend morning, there were lots of people sitting around, sipping on drinks, and working. Kouign Amann ($6) - The top of the kouign amann (the bottom while baking) looks nicely glazed with plenty of sugar. They layers look well defined and it looks like a crispy flaky treat. The other side looks like a sad wrinkly croissant. The interior consists of really thick laminated layers that have a ton of air gap in between that has more in common with risen puff pastry than croissant. This makes it thick, bready, and doughy and gives it a wheat flour-like taste rather than sugar or butter. There isn't that much crispness and other than a bit of sugar glaze on top, the pastry isn't very sweet, not is it buttery at all. I didn't like this kouign amann much. (2/5) Chocolate Praline Croissant ($6.25) - This croissant looks like it has decent layering and a great flaky crust at first glance. The croissant is indeed very flaky and crisp on top, making flakes and powdered sugar fly everywhere while eating. The lamination is again a bit questionable, with very thick layers and huge air pockets making the croissant very bready. At least there's no wheat flour taste. There's only a single line of chocolate in the center rather than the more typical two chocolate baton configuration. The chocolate leaks out of the sides of the croissant, caramelizing against the baking sheet and creating different flavors. (3/5) Masa Baguette ($5.75) - This baguette has a great crust combined with a moist and chewy interior. It's much darker in color than a typical baguette and has a very well developed taste, like sourdough mixed with corn. A very interesting take on a baguette that's quite delicious. Also of note is how they serve the baguette - wrapped up in butcher paper with an end of the baguette sticking out. (5/5) Unfortunately, I didn't find the laminated pastries to be very good at Little T. Size-wise, the pastries seem to be a bit smaller than competitors but with similar pricing. Their breads seem to be the superior choice and the only items I would order again if I revisited in the future. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms
