Time passes and things change. Not always for the better. Alas, that seem the case for Gaston's…read moreproducts. While once our 'go to' for bread and baked goodies when we discovered them about ten years ago, we have found in the last two years that Gaston's seems to be struggling with consistency in all of their breads and pastries. It is like seeing a friend ailing without ability to help. Also where we once experienced Gaston's as the 'go to' of quality restaurants for bread it now seems many are using another local baker, Acme, which is the one we chose most often too for consistent top quality. I hope Gaston's finds their groove again. We no longer recommend it to others as the first choice.

I spent part of my childhood living in Asia and Africa, in countries colonized by the French. As a…read moreresult, I have a strong affinity for French pastries, and breads. Owner Mathieu Chou originally owned La Café de Paris, located in downtown Boise, which closed years ago. I have fond memories of trying my first pate there, served with cornichons. I was sad to see the café close, but I was elated when Mathiu opened Gaston's. Mathieu is a classically trained French baker who has turned making bread into an artform. Gaston's Bakery is a large commercial kitchen with a small retail area open from 9 AM to 2 PM daily. They sell out fast, so the earlier you get there, the better. My favorite bread in the world is Gaston's Country White Boule ($6.95). Country White is a traditional French bread that is crusty, has a soft white crumb, and is slightly tangy, like a milder version of sourdough. Country White makes fantastic sandwiches, toast, and French toast. It's perfect for eating with a nice hot bowl of soup, stew, or anything else you want to serve it with. I cannot recommend this bread highly enough. It comes sliced and unsliced. I prefer to buy it sliced because the bread is so wide that it can be hard to cut it straight. I always ask for a couple of extra bags and freeze part of it. it freezes as well. I get this item EVERY SINGLE TIME. I also got a Kouign Amann and a Ham & Swiss croissant: Kouign Amann ($4.30) is "a sweet Breton cake made with laminated dough. It is a round multi-layered cake, originally made with bread dough, containing layers of butter and incorporated sugar, similar in fashion to puff pastry albeit with fewer layers." If you haven't tried one yet, I highly recommend you do. You can get them a few places in town, but these are my personal favorite. Ham & Swiss croissant ($4.35) - Gaston's makes my favorite local croissants. If you want one that is savory and filling, I recommend trying the Ham & Swiss croissant. It is outstanding! If your idea of a great ham and Swiss croissant is the La Boulangerie brand sold at Costco, try this instead. It will change your life. Highly Recommended!!! Location: 3651 W. Overland Rd. Hours: Open from 9 AM to 2 PM Daily. They also do curbside service. * There are a number of local businesses where you can find Gaston's products, which are noted on the website.

A few weekends ago we tried again and went inside. We had ice cream and floats. The staff waa friendly and were great at dealing with the cash register not working and a long line. My son has sea salt cashew, it was overly salty. I had rocky road. It was pretty good. My husband had a float he said it was good. Were not fans of ice cream that have things like cardamom and that was the flavor they had that day along with an orange chocolate. For 4 of us to have ice cream it was close to 50.00. Seemed overly expensive. Theres a lot of choices pretty close to this. We have really tried to like it but it just wasnt our fave.
