Colette Bread and Bakeshop

$$$$Perfect For:Serious Takeout Operation

If you're strolling down Poncey-Highland and catch a whiff of baking bread, then follow that smell into Colette's. Inside the small bakery, you'll see your future strawberry danish in progress: workers knead dough and pull trays from the oven. The offerings change frequently, but if the giant sour cream cinnamon roll is available, get it. And know that Colette's is the kind of bakeshop where you can't go wrong, especially since a lot of their pastries incorporate fresh fruits (sweet brioche tarts overflowing with housemade strawberry fillings) and vegetables (think spicy shishito pepper scones).
